Wingnut fight breaks out at GOP rally supporting Rmoney...

[cynatnite]

PARMA, Ohio -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney sent two GOP heavyweights to northern Ohio Thursday to beat President Barack Obama's similar bus tour to the punch.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, traveling on Romney's campaign bus, stopped at Parma's Kentown Plaza to emphasize what they say is a gap between what Obama has promised and what he has delivered.

But a physical clash between Romney supporters and protesters overshadowed the Parma campaign stop by the prominent pair, who are often mentioned as possible running mates for Romney.

The quarrel broke out as soon as Pawlenty took the stage before about 200 people at the strip shopping center.

"Pawlenty go home, Pawlenty go home," the protesters chanted over the former governor's speech.

1. That was bizarre.

To me it shows the sense of entitlement and space
that some white people have.

2. They are bringing their dog and pony show to Pittsburgh tomorrow.

President Obama is also speaking in Pittsburgh tomorrow. Guess who will get a better turn-out?

3. Heavyweights???!!!

7. You're right. Of course, the description might be a better fit for Gov Christie of New Jersey.

4. Dr. Richard Brysac (Self-Employed/Dentist), (Zip code: 44130) $200 to REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

I would have split his face open

[Scootaloo]

9. No shit...

Now, I'm not a violent person, byt it seems to me that Al Neal has the patience of Job.

I mean... look at this shit!

"He seemed thirsty, so I tried to shove the bottle in his mouth," Brysac said. "I thought it was wrong to interfere with [Pawlenty's] freedom of speech.

Seriously? You cram shit in someone's mouth because you don't want someone's freedom of speech to be interfered with?

"I acted out of character and I apologize if I offended anyone."

No, you perfectly expressed Republican character, all the way up to this bullshit. "I'm sorry if I offended anyone?" Fuck you, Dick Ballsack, at the least have the taste to apologize to Al Neal for COMMITTING ASSAULT AGAINST HIM.

5. I gotta give it to that one guy

for remaining calm while the older dude shoved that wad of paper in his mouth. Showed some major restraint.

[malthaussen]

6. It's a damned good thing these people stopped bringing firearms to these events

I am constantly amazed that the lack of restraint that is spiralling faster and faster hasn't yet led to a serious bloodbath.

8. Gov. Jindal is a GOP "Heavyweight"

That pretty much sums up how grim it is for Republicans these days.

13. LOL

was thinking the same thing.

10. I'm not sure if he's been Christianized enough for them.

Since his real name is Piyush and he's from India and thus has those heathen foreigner cooties.

[bluedigger]

11. Let the kettle-ing begin.

There won't be any more protesters allowed within 1,000 yards...

[DCKit]

15. Then Rmoney will be speaking to empty parking lots.

As it is, he's only got security and the press showing up to his events.

12. Pawlenty took the stage before about 200 people...... lol!!!!

[JI7]

14. can they be called a "heavy weight" if they get "about 200" people at an event ?

and you know they always overestimate gop turnout. maybe most of them were not even supporters. in which case it would be even worse when you think of what the actual number of supporters who came out were.
