You may remember that the woman who was stepped on by the Rand Paul supporter was working as an instigator for the MoveOn “Republicorp” project which tries to ridicule Republicans as lapdogs for business interests. Well those Republicorp activists are a busy group. And sometimes they are instigating the violence! Witness this encounter in Arizona:

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 2:06amI really hope this helps someone and you do read this one. First of importance Thank You very much for your service and also all your honest posts, Marine Recon Dad. I really appreciate all that you have done so we can as Americans in the United States stand up for our beliefs and voice are opinions couragiously and peaceful with intelligence and loving mercy. Your posts are very helpful.
Secondly and that is what I see the Republican Did carrying the signs with his opinion(lovingly intelligence peaceful mercy). Thanks for being another soldier of peace and purpose. I do believe you handled it very well.
As to the non believers above, who described the incident any other way. Have you ever been attacked or choked before from someone who is out of control? I have and for a moment you are in shock as well as anything and to hold non violence back and not punch kick and punch your attacker back right away proves he is a non violent person. He simply held on to what he could with his hands full and stepped back away from the out of control person. Stepping back is important. It is very scarey and upsetting that this man felt the only way was to try to silence him was to physically attack him. The man was focussed on his throat that was apparent.
Since I was attacked this way just walking down the street I wasn’t as lucky as in this situation, I couldn’t get away. He was alot taller than me, so i took the violent person out in the busy street were we both would have been hit by cars. All I could do was pull him and push him while he kept choking me. I will never forget.
This being said, I think the republic or person defending his throat and the power to speak handled it very well. He wasn‘t even smiling while he was being attacked so I don’t believe He beared false wittness. Thank you God and America for the right to speak.
We are all apart of the whole. Peace
Yes, we will

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 1:30amYou know, since the group Republicorp is funded by Moveon.org and George Soros funds Moveon.org, they could be considered responsible legally for agents of their organizations actions. It would be interesting to see if someone takes it on to challenge them through the legal system. However it would have to be in a more conservative state.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 1:29amFurther proof that Moveon.org and their instigators and Saul Alinsky tactics are being pushed into full force is acts of immense desperation…
Remember everybody, keep the cameras at the ready, look around, know where the police are and know where the infiltrators and instigators are and the moment they pull anything put your heads behind your head and interlock your fingers, take as passive a stance as possible, these people are just looking for conflict, show them peaceful, calm, intelligent response. Don’t feed the monsters…

“Thou shalt not commit murder.” ring a bell? He did not fear for his life so to kill another would be murder. I would not expect a pagan to follow or accurately understand the 10 commandments, but you did ask why he did not kill him for choking him. That is my guess. Since about 80% of America claims to be Christian, I would call it a good one.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 1:12amThere is so much tension among us . Emotions are running high. I will gurantee that the main stream media will not show this on their progrms. I hope this will get out because it shows the division this administration has purposefully caused. The other programs are progressive medias that have failed to to there job fairly and have intentionally stirred up and called for this type of behavior. Unlike the plant that was hired by moveon.org this was probably some poor misguided schmuck that was worked into a frenzy by the lies and the rhetoric that the progressives spin. I almost feel sorry for him. He was lucky in that the man he assaulted had enough compassion to accept his appology rather than press charges and file a law suit.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 1:09amI believe that if one purposely incites violence, one should have no right to whine about getting their @$$ beat down. Kudos to the gentleman for keeping his cool and doing the intelligent thing. Moveon is nothing more than an organizer for agitators. BTW Why do lefties always call republicans facists when THEY are the socialists? I think perhaps it’s their limited understanding of vocabulary (and history and everything really ; ). We need to bring spelling tests (with definitions) back to the schools.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 8:07amShepherd Smith isn’t exactly a fan of the Tea Party movement nor the conservative party. I believe he is somewhat of a chameleon, meaning that what ever keeps him “Fair and Balanced” he does. Certainly he won’t be getting any Soros threats any time soon. I believe he would fit in nicely on CNN, he may be a bit to rational for MSNBC. Of course floating giggles of being homosexual may get him a co-anchor spot with Rachel Meadow. Now before the GLBT community gets in a little tissy fit I’m not trashing your lifestyle I choose to let God sort out the mess.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 11:59amYes, Obama did order the loons to “punish their enemies,” which I assume is me. I‘m ready for them if that’s what they want. Fortunately, most of the liberals wouldn’t have any idea why they were fighting. They just do what they are told. I have a strange feeling which is hard to describe. I sense that something big is going to go down or at least be attempted very soon. Desperation is a powerful thing, and the left is clearly desperate and getting more so every day.

One thing these people do not understand or seem to care that an assault is still an assault regardless of how it is done. These Progressives just keep on going for it; most likely they will claim the footage is faked, and then blame it on a violent man like Glenn Beck while howling the man they assaulted was a dangerous threat.

Posted on October 29, 2010 at 7:26amWhy wouldn’t you file charges against the man who just had his hands around your neck? I think he should have followed through with the process to the point where it would register as a charge on his record. I would have pressed charges and followed through with it, but that’s me.
I once pressed charges (and got a guilty plea) against a man that was throwing food out his car window repeatedly. He told the prosecutor he was feeding birds, brought documentation of animals he rescued. He would not admit that throwing food out of a moving car was wrong, so I let the judge convince him it was and he got a $250 fine.
If you don’t press charges, they’ll keep convincing themselves they were right, that they ‘got away with it.’
