Yesterday I posted an Action Alert<\/a>, as soon as I heard of this.  I see that Rand has already squelched Bold Progressive\u2019s video, which I embedded, but I have more.  In a nutshell, two Rand Paul campaign workers, one of whom remains unidentified and the other a county campaign manager, brutally assaulted Lauren Valle, a RepubliCorp<\/a> volunteer to silence her.<\/font><\/p>\n

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB Fox 41) — Outside the Conway-Paul debate, a Rand Paul supporter pulled the woman’s blonde wig off and stomped on her head<\/strong>. She was representing the liberal organization MoveOn.org and claimed to be presenting Paul with an award from RepubliCorp. That’s a group created by MoveOn.org that focuses on what it calls the merger between corporate America and the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

"I’m here to present Rand Paul with the ‘Employee of the Month’ award, however his supporters were not very nice to me and my message which is same as everyone else. I got my head stepped on and I have a bit of a headache," said Lauren Valle, MoveOn.org.<\/p>\n

The woman denied police were involved, but right afterwards officers pulled her aside to question her about the incident.<\/p>\n

RepibliCorp performs skits for videos satirizing the merging between the Republican Party and giant criminal corporations. Here\u2019s an example of their fine work.<\/font><\/p>\n
