LEXINGTON, Ky. -- A volunteer with Rand Paul's Republican U.S. Senate campaign apologized Tuesday for stepping on the head of a liberal activist who tried to confront the tea party candidate with a fake award. Paul supporter Tim Profitt said video of the scuffle made it appear worse than it was and he chided police for not stepping in. Lauren Valle, the 23-year-old activist with the group MoveOn.org, said her face was swollen and her neck and shoulder were sore after she was wrestled to the ground by Paul supporters Monday night when she tried to give the candidate an "employee of the month" award. Valle was roughed up before the debate between Paul and Democrat Jack Conway. The race is one of the most closely watched and hotly contested in the midterm elections. "I'm sorry that it came to that, and I apologize if it appeared overly forceful, but I was concerned about Rand's safety," Profitt told The Associated Press. Video recorded by WDRB shows Valle's blonde wig being pulled off before she's pinned to the ground. Profitt then pushes his foot down on her head. "I think that this is an extreme example of the kinds of sentiments that people are feeling in many races across the country," Valle said. "I think that tension is incredibly high." Paul's campaign dropped Profitt as campaign coordinator in Bourbon County in central Kentucky and banned him from future events. Profitt said he was interviewed by a Lexington police detective Tuesday, but that he had not been charged. "A friend of mine went up to three policeman before Rand got there, and told them about the girl who was standing there with that wig on and that she was getting ready to do something," Profitt said. "The policemen looked at him and said that's not our job." Paul campaign manager Jesse Benton said Profitt's actions were unacceptable and would not be tolerated. "The Paul campaign has disassociated itself with the individual who took part in this incident, and once again urges all activists - on both sides - to remember that their political passions should never manifest themselves in physical altercations of any kind." Paul's campaign called the altercation "incredibly unfortunate" and expressed relief that the woman was not injured. Conway said he was shocked to see the video footage. "We can disagree on issues, and I don't know what preceded the incident, but physical violence by a man against a woman must never be tolerated," Conway said in a statement. "It is my hope that steps have been taken to ensure this kind of thuggish behavior never happens again in this campaign."

When you guys take over you'll be able to do this and more without apologizing to anyone. There's no indication that she was ever searched by the police, so there is no way of knowing if she had a knife, belt bomb, AIDS saliva, or other lethal weapon on her. It was prudent to stop her before she reached the future Kentucky senator. She looks like the kind of hoe that would test HIV positive.

Skippy is a proven liar and racist.

You are such a dispicable, slimmy toad.. I take it you think highly of yourself because it's not manly to physically strike a woman, but it's honky dory to attack and verbally abuse them with words of humiliation and degradation, whether written, or oral... SPIT! I couldn't see you being brave enough to take a woman on anyway, because more than likely, you'd be pickin your ass outta your nostrals if you did...

That's right. Pay-back is a bitch.
Clinton and Cuomo are the true bandits who lit the fuse to this economic crisis we're now in. All in the name of getting more minorities in houses: http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=12554
Good one. Fred is not opposed to violence.

#9, for starters.
BullBarack! There was never any danger of her getting close enough to Paul to have harmed him. For one thing,she was being watched by the very people that put her on the ground. Besides,in THIS country people don't get assaulted and robbed for what they MIGHT do. She had every bit as much right to show up and oppose Paul as his supporters had to be there to support him.

Besides,in THIS country people don't get assaulted and robbed for what they MIGHT do. According to a reporter who was with the film crew they were at Rand's car, so she got close. You're right though, they had no right to jump her unless she did something violent.
I agree with you. Nothing she did can justify what happened to her.
-----------------------------------------------------------
She looks like the kind of hoe that would test HIV positive. Under this policy we should shell Tea Bagger rallies because they might have weapons and call for revolution.
Under this policy we should shell Tea Bagger rallies because they might have weapons and call for revolution. I'm backing off of that one, see #16 above. She did nothing to justify getting jumped and stomped. There was reason to be suspicious, but not to act. I was wrong, and I admit it.
Good for you! It is becoming rarer and rarer to see somebody man up and admit they were mistaken.

I didn't used to take calling these losers 'fags' seriously till now, but I am more convinced now, than ever before, No Man, who has a girlfriend, or wife they love, would ever get on the internet and behave like this if they didn't have homo tendencies, it's like they get turned on by each other..... I think I'll go throw up now....

Yukon,you are one of the biggest sick jokes on the internet. PeeWee Herman is more of a man than you are. You are wrong more often than anybody else on the two boards I visit,and you have yet to ever admit being wrong even once. As for me,anyone who is familiar with my posting history knows I have admitted to being wrong several times.

I'm still waiting for you to admit that you are wrong on fag "marriage". ;)
I hear ya M. It kind of pisses me off to insult regular homosexuals by lumping them in with these sorts of whiny losers. Whatever two consenting adults do in private is of no interest or importance to me, and nobody's business except theirs. Where I get pissed is when they TRY to make their perversions "normal". We will ALL stand before the final judge someday and answer for our own sins after all. I see it as THEIR problem. But these little creeps are such stereotypical sissies that it's difficult to call them anything else, especially given their love of homosexual jargon, and their specious claims of being "males". I hate even calling them pussies, because that might be considered insulting to women, who by a vast vast VAST margin are tougher and more "manly" than these two little punks could ever be. I know what you mean, I feel like hurling myself now ...

Reading any one of their posts is like looking at duplicates, not a one of them has an original thought they can call their own, because it's the same thought, and it belongs to them all...lol
