You know what that whole Rand Paul stomping incident reminds me of - "American History X"
That was such a powerful movie, Edward Norton at his absolutely best. They were showing a flashback scene of how Ed Norton's character Derek Vinyard took a black man, push his head to the curb and stomped on his face - ultimately killing the man.

At least in the movie Derek Vinyard redeemed himself, renouncing his White Supremacist ways. I wonder if these Rand Supporters, who seem alot like the White Supremacists in American History X, find a way to redeem themselves.

1. Glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that...
The image was disturbing and this reminded me of it, too.

2. I was just reading the movie quotes from the movie and some of them seem like
they could be spewed at your typical teaparty gathering.
