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."

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

Keep waiting. Since you hate them so much,why do you object to them being able to marry?

I don't hate them. I just am not in favor of them corrupting institutions that have been around for thousands of years to satisfy their forced attempt to fit in.
You do hate them. And you hate Muslims too.
And you love Muslime fags.
When you lift one of MD's favorite comments, you're starting to act just like him. Once you start calling everyone here a cunt the change will be 100%. Nice people you hang with.
Bottom line is Rand Paul is going to win this election easily.

I don't hate you Fred. You're a little strange sometimes though.
I wish we had a Rand Paul to vote for in Ohio. Our choices suck. I don't know much about Portman.
Portman's the real deal, you'll come to support him forever, watch and see. Just saw a new video of this incident at the debate. As I suspected, this whack job brought it upon herself. Fox News has the video LEADING UP to her being held down for the cops. If she had pulled this stunt with POTUS, they'd have shot her.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
I'm going to vote Portman. But not Kasich or DeSwine.
Here's a better view of the start of the thing. She's in the red jacket. The guy in the brown jacket rushing in for the tackle could be Mike Pezzano, mentioned in this article. http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=14394 I'm pegging him as a Mitch McConnel(R) neo-con agent provacatuer.
I'm 100% behind Portman, going to vote for Kasich. I wouldn't vote for Mikey DeWine if you held a gun to my head. Voting for Owens.

Nice find.
You mean he's still alive? I guess that hot young redheaded wife of his must not be giving him much,or he would have died by now. The photo below deserves a "what is wrong in this picture?" header.
