A woman was brutally attacked at a debate featuring GOPer Rand Paul, and it is captured on video. No arrests have yet been made, of course, because the GOP gets away with stuff like this.

Rand Paul's response to the hateful assault below in a chat with Fox News, note how he doesn't condemn it or demand the arrest of the criminal assaulter:

FOX NEWS: Let's deal with the scuffle right off the top. What's your reaction that folks who were wearing Rand Paul t-shirts and hats treated this woman this way?

PAUL: We want everybody to be civil. We want this issue, the campaign to be about issues. We'll tell you that when we arrived there was enormous passion on both sides. It really was something where you walk into a daze of lights flashing, people yelling and screaming, bumping up, and it was a bit of a crowd control problem, and I don't want anybody though to be involved in things that aren't civil. I think this should always be about the issues. And it is an unusual situation, to have so many people, so passionate on both sides, jockeying back and forth and it wasn't something that I liked or anybody liked about that situation, so I hope in the future it's going to be better.

FOX NEWS: Yeah, well hopefully everybody out there will listen to that.

What was that in Orwell's 1984 about the future being an army boot stamping a human face forever?

Oh, it's ok. The guy who stomped on her face was a Rand Paul volunteer.

Rand Paul really needs to screen his volunteers a little more carefully.
He's a volunteer

It could have been so much worse! At least no one said 'Counsel's Office will end the meeting.'

I imagine that's pretty much how Counsel's Office will end the meeting, if it becomes necessary.

No, there's a refreshing honesty to face-stamping that Obama's Administration just can't seem to replicate.

We don't want to miss the miracle, do we?

How very libertarian: It seems that Paul got exactly the caliber of private security he paid for.
