Ron Paul delegates slammed to the floor.

I was listening to LEFT radio on Sirius driving home. The author of the book "Rigged" was on from the rethug convention. He said that Ron Paul delegates were getting abused. One woman from IL trying to get re-seated was thrown to the floor by off duty police. Another man with a hip replacement was also thrown to the floor and got his hip replacement dislocated.

He said a bus load of Paul delegates did not make it to the convention. I think he seemed to say they were messed with.

Lots more that I don't remember. Paul's mike was cut off he said.

It's the rnc. Step out. Of line to use your own brain and you will be shown the door and get spit on along the way. I've seen people slammed to the floor at. Past rnc conventions so this isn't new behavior. It's why they're called RETHUGS.
