At least it was averted a little, it would've gone worse.

1. I so hope Grayson whips his a$$. I made calls from the east coast

of Florida over to the west coast. Not very nice people...Hahahaha. One of my ex-husbands lives over there so it must be a geographical thing...

5. Agreed. I believe Florida calls it battery...

784.03Battery; felony battery.
—(1)(a)The offense of battery occurs when a person:

1.Actually and intentionally touches or strikes another person against the will of the other; or

2.Intentionally causes bodily harm to another person.

(b)Except as provided in subsection (2), a person who commits battery commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

(2)A person who has one prior conviction for battery, aggravated battery, or felony battery and who commits any second or subsequent battery commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. For purposes of this subsection, “conviction” means a determination of guilt that is the result of a plea or a trial, regardless of whether adjudication is withheld or a plea of nolo contendere is entered.

That's not "near" assault, that is assault.

The word "near" is edited

11. WTF are you babbling about?

What's the set-up? The Grayson supporter at a Webster Rally? The fact that the Grayson supporter had a partner (my guess) filming him? DUH, of course that part was planned... or "set-up" if that phrase makes you feel better.

You think the "assaulter" was in on it? From the YouTube page: "Former Congressional candidate and Daniel Webster supporter Bruce O'Donoghue assaults a Grayson supporter". So apparently THAT'S the guys name. Need more proof? What would you like? Signed affidavits?

12. Buddy, you're out of your league

Extremely weak post. Thanks for the laugh.

13. No, we are sorry that YOU are too ill-informed to realize that that "whole socialism thing"

has actually worked out quite well for you. Do you drink safe water, drive on public roads, attend public schools, eat uncontaminated food, depend on police, paramedics and firemen? Do any of your family collect Social Security or have Medicare? Has anyone you know benefited from the many vaccines and medications developed with tax dollars? Have you ever enjoyed the beauty of any of our National Parks? Do you realize that the very internet that you use to spew your right-wing talking points had its origins in a publicly funded defense project?

How's that socialism thing working out for you?

10. I've been to a number of Democratic rallies where Republican

volunteer operatives show up in their GOP candidate T-shirts and big old signs. They surround the perimeter, march around, whatever takes to be irritating. Is it annoying? Absolutely. Do they get attacked and harassed? Not that I've ever seen. Most of the rally attendees ignore them. At worst someone might stand directly in front of one and have a stare down. Republicans are bullies and thugs. It's in their DNA.

17. At an Al Gore rally in 2000

some republicans hid their signs till they got inside the gym where Gore was to speak. When Al started to speak they got out their banner or signs and held them up...our boys were ready though and quietly stood right in front of them with bigger signs, completely blocking them from view. It was a sight to behold.
:rofl:
I was wondering how those republicans couldn't help but be impressed with what Gore was saying, he was incredible.

14. That was hilarious

The candidate was talking about being positive while his supporter was assaulting someone who was carrying an opposing candidates sign. Frickin' hilarious.
The guy with the Grayson sign should use this video to get the other person arrested. simple.

16. That Republican lady deserves a lot of credit. She did the right thing

scolding that ass hole and you can tell she made him feel about two inches tall. You can tell she also made an effort to apologize for what happened to the liberal who's sign was taken away.
