New Video Shows MoveOn.org Activist Lunging at Rand Paul’s Vehicle

By Robert Stacy McCain on 10.27.10 @ 7:42PM

In my column this morning about Monday’s stomping incident in Kentucky, I said “the whole story of this incident has not yet been told.” A bit more of the story came out today when Red State posted video that shows what happened before the now-notorious stomping. The video shows MoveOn.org activist Lauren Valle lunging toward Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul’s vehicle, thrusting her sign through the vehicle’s open window.

Red State is quick to say, “You don’t stomp on a person’s head.” Indeed. But as Red State also says, “the idea that Valle was the victim of an angry mob … is demonstrably false… . She claims to have been an innocent bystander. She clearly was not.”

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
