Today's "WTF" Moment: "Rand Paul Supporter Wants Stomping Victim To Apologize To Him"
Rand Paul Supporter Wants Stomping Victim To Apologize To Him



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/27/rand-paul-supporter-tim-profitt_n_774614.html

Tim Profitt, the Rand Paul supporter behind the white sneaker that notoriously stomped on a MoveOn activist's head in Kentucky, sought to play down the importance of the incident Tuesday, and went so far as to ask the victim for an apology.

"I don't think it's that big of a deal," Profitt told WKYT. "I would like for her to apologize to me to be honest with you."

While the victim, Lauren Valle, said Tuesday that she believed the campaign workers' violent reaction to her presence there was "premeditated," Profitt told WKYT that he thought Valle was following a strict protocol with the intent of creating controversy.

"She's a professional at what she does," Profitt said, "and I think when all the facts come out, I think people will see that she was the one that initiated the whole thing."

He then blamed the forceful downward motion of his foot on the head of Valle as a function of chronic back pain, a claim he has made before.

2. As posted in another thread...
:hurts: - Wait for it. When I flush, your apology will be on the way.

3. So, she's lucky he didn't have shoulder pain
because he would have strangled her with a forceful hand motion...

4. Nice conservative values, attacking a woman and demanding an apology.
I hope she sues his ass for pain and suffering to give him a lesson on American justice.

6. He had a choice about whether to put his foot on her at all, just as his buddy had
to continue to hold her down so he could stomp on her. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. And, because someone doesn't share your opinions or beliefs, does not mean that the only option for displaying your disagreement is physical force.

7. Chronic back pain?
Accompanied with yellowing of the skin along the spinal region, I assume.

8. I think that only works for Rush Limbaugh.
For everyone else, it's more like the case of Omar after he stabbed McManus and then asked McManus to apologize on the TV show Oz: you can ask for an apology, but what you're gonna get is solitary confinement.

This fellow might want to brush up on his Oz etiquette.

11. There has to be a medical term in psychiatry for this kind of thinking and action.
SRWS Stupid Right Wing Syndrome accompanied by delusional feelings of being oppressed by smaller women.

"and I think when all the facts come out,"

Yes, when the facts come out, you can ask the Court for an apology for charging you with Assault and Battery.

14. Therepukes have become a haven for the insane, the ignorant, the evil and those totally disconnected
from the plane of reality on which the rest of the universe functions.

To say that the asylum is being run by the inmates is probably one of the greatest understatements of this, and many previous decades.

AND..the inmates are being manipulated VERY SUCCESSFULLY..by the evil ones that use them to further their own selfish interests.

It is getting scarier and scarier...and if Congress does end up being populated by these certifiably commitable mentally disturbed individuals...My question will be.."Where are we going, and why the hell are we in this handbasket?"

The rest of the world is already peeing their pants laughing at us. An outcome like that would cement our position as a Third
World Country..and as the laughing stock of the civilized planet.

16. I think the rest of the world has stopped peeing and is suddenly
getting very, very scared.

If these mentally disturbed individuals "lead" this country, this country may start attacking their countries at will.

:scared:

19. If my father had seen a man do that to a woman I can tell you that man would be hurting
and my father would not have apologized. Wouldn't matter whose side the woman was on. My old man was real old school.
