Tea Thuggery
by digby
Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks the Tea Partiers don't believe that the constitution guarantees free speech only to people who agree with them.
[A] young woman affiliated with MoveOn.org was brutally attacked--stomped in the head--outside the debate by a Rand Paul supporter. The story led the local newscast. Here's the video, and it's truly awful (my link to video is dodgy, but if you click through to local Fox site it seems to work fine).
Too bad she isn't a millionaire Fox news pundit --- the Republicans would all be rushing to her defense.
Those men should be charged with assault. But from what I gathered in the report, the only person the police were interested in was the victim. (That may not be the whole story, however.)
Look for Breitbart and the boyz to say she "provoked" the crowd by being there and got what she deserved.
