Delay Supporters Crash Democrat's Event

[Vektor]

It takes a real good Christian to attack a 69 year old woman!
:sarcasm:

SUGAR LAND, Texas -- Supporters of U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay protested at an event Thursday held by the Democratic candidate for the congressman's seat, and the event quickly dissolved into a shouting and shoving match. Police were called, but made no arrests.

"I got pushed. I got hit. I got a sign wadded up in my face and my hat pulled down over my eyes," said Marsha Rovai, 69, a supporter of Nick Lampson. "They just did it to be nasty."

1. Typical DeLay scum - pissed that their guy quit before he got whupped

3. Well, perhaps they'll all share the exercise yard soon.

He is their leader and they should follow him where e'er he goes.

2. Prepare yourselves citizens, a civil war is imminent.

4. You may be right....

although I haven't seen this behavior demonstrated anywhere but Texas. Yet. They breed a particularly vile and disgusting strain of Republicans in Texas. Let's just hope it doesn't spread.

5. a caller on cspan this morning (cant remember if it was 1 or 2)

said the same thing in the context of giving amnesty to illegals. Said thats what
'his friends' thought would happen if they were allowed to take our jobs (his words). And he was from Virginia. I was blown away.

6. It's getting ugly out there.

But mark my words, this crap will NEVER happen again:

10. The GOP Rent-a-Rioters!

That particular phony riot was known as "The Brooks Brothers Riot". GOP congress staffers paid to riot on the taxpayer's dime.

11. I'd like to go back in time and knock their heads together.

7. More thuggery by a 5-star thug. Sad to see this happening but

given the source -- Tom DeLay -- it fits to a 'P'.

And that rhymes with 'P' and that stands for PERPWALK.

Let's haul the little varmint off to prison asap.

Howdy, Vektor. Always a pleasure to read your posts on DU. Bravo.

8. Somebody please tell me this was videotaped

Every time Republican brown shirts pull these kind of stunts, no one seems to have had the foresight to bring along a videocam.

9. Turns out somebody WAS there with a camera

FINALLY one of these things gets captured on film!

12. Delay and his followers

Are total scum.

14. Brownshirts

there's no excuse for republican thuggery.

They should be behind bars... and they will be.

15. Thanks for posting this, Vek! I am a Lampson volunteer

and let me assure you that we are organized and we are not going to put up with this nonsense!!

I live not too far from where this happened. Lampson has terrific supporters, $2 million in the bank, a fantastic campaign staff and we ALL need to get behind him.

Will TX-22 EVER quit being a battleground?

visit www.lampson.com and fight with me!

17. Hey muse!

Good to see you! I'll check it out.

16. I remember some right-wing retard whining about Wellstone's funeral

and not being invited as a "matter of class."

Hello, who gives a fuck you whiny bastards. Got kids? If they are not in Iraq, then I hope they die in a car fire. How's that for class?

18. DeLay probably read up on

Hitler's Sturmabteilung, and sang to himself,
"that ain't workin', that's the way you do it...."
