2. This was discussed a lot on here..

...last week. No one has been able to find out his name. Eventually they'll find him though.

9. If she presses charges
she can subpoena WABC in New York. They attempted to interview the punk, who just sat and pretended he was Gee Dubya on 9/11 after he'd been told of the second crash. WABC had to have obtained a waiver to show him on air.

46. Didn't they arrest her for disorderly conduct?
I think he got some sort of medal. Maybe a purple heart bandaid but she got arrested for disturbing him.

3. Revolting.
Edited on Sun Sep-05-04 08:25 PM by saracat
And notice how they had to include remarks about aRepug getting hit in the head by an "aids" activist". Sort of like they are saying "our team was hurt more than you team!" I'll bet they don't do anything to that mini Nazi!

5. You know...I bet "Taylor Bickford" knows who this kid is..

...everyone mistook Taylor as the thug at first. But it may be worth someone's time trying to find Taylor and talk to him.

6. This is the nadir of the RNC convention!
What if the woman was pregnant? This needs to be everywhere on the news, this epitomizes how civilized the Bush Regime is and what moral values they are endorsing! The RNC was an angry, disgraceful, embarrassing hate-fest, I'd be ashamed to endorse this party. First the Purple Heartless group mocking all VETS that has ever earned a Purple Heart and now a punk white boy kicking a young woman on TV, what a disgrace.

7. Has anyone indentified the victim?
Is she ok, what happened to her, and is she pressing charges?

11. I wrote Act Up..

...and they kind of brushed it off. The guy who responed to my email didn't know the name of the protester. Someone on the site indicates that it wouldn't have to be the victim to press charges against the guy.

14. I've got an idea -- something DUers can do
Let's refer to women we don't like, esp. Repug women, as bitches (and a few other choice slang words). And once we do that, we can call our own mothers bitches on this forum as well, as one DUer did several weeks ago.

Let's post cheesecake photos of Nancy Reagan in our sig lines, with her photoshopped head on someone else's body, which body is also smoking a cigarette. Never mind that such a photo has no political content or point to make. Or, hell, just cheesecake photos of whatever women we want. We don't even have to know their names -- just because it's so much fun to engage in the group sport of oogling women's bodies.

Further, let's call men who show cowardice, "pussies" and nickname them "Snatch." Or call them girly-men (so popular these days), because it's well-known by everyone in this society that being female is not just "not as good" but downright shameful, something no REAL human beings (aka: males) would ever aspire to.

And let's ALWAYS, ALWAYS bring up the fact that a very, very small percentage of adult men (as compared to women) can be victims of domestic violence and rape as well whenever those subjects come up, to make sure we divert attention from the epidemic of violence against women and how that keeps women oppressed, and of COURSE not forget to heavily promote the subject of false allegations of rape which certainly ranks so much higher in importance than the fact that most rapists etrators aren't ever even charged, let alone convicted, leaving them free to rape again.

If we do things like this, we can help create the kind of climate where it's NOT okay to kick women whose politics we don't like, even when they're down on the ground. A climate where it's NOT okay to refuse women any rights over their own bodies and reproductive capabilities. A climate where women are respected as contributing, valuable and EQUAL members of this society.

Whadya think?

22. Remove "Women" and replace it with "People"
...and I'm cool with what you are saying.....

I totally believe that women are contributing, valuable and equal members of this society.

The rage, I can do without, and think it's self defeating.

I for one, find many women in the republican party to be whores and or bitches - I frankly, find many more of their husbands to be the same.

Let us not deny ourselves some of the righteous inheritance of American colloquial obscenity that our fore bearers (get the non-gender thing there) among friends.

Might as well advertise those great family values they're always bragging about ay ;-)

21. This POS would fit in nicely at Abu Ghraib
fucking slimy-ass Republican punk.

Rycker's Island is too good for him. On second thought, I'll bet that he'd be chosen Miss Congeniality by the regular inhabitants.

We've got to find this guy.

25. I personally think this would have went down on either party.
I think there are jerks on both sides - Ive met em.

Nail the little punk to the wall for kicking another person, but dont pretend for a second that our party is above a bit of violence - lest we forget all the hoots and laughs "on this site" at the anarchist kicking the PW asses around.

32. Tell me more..

...about the PWs getting their asses kicked. I hadn't heard this.

I don't think a bunch of guys getting in a fight is the same as some dude kicking a girl while she's on the ground, btw.

29. The PW Guy's are looking for violence.
I don't think this woman was expecting to get kicked to the ground.

We aren't above violence. Today being Labor Day is a perfect day to remember that.

People have died fighting for Workers Rights.

This woman took a kick for us. Would you do the same?

30. The PW and the woman should have seen it coming...
You dont walk into a crowd of the enemy - rile them up and then act suprised when they get violent. Now, that is not to excuse the anarchist or the repugs, but its just common sense. I would call a repug that walked out in our convention and started screaming stupid as well - and it wouldnt shock me in that case either to see people start to pound on them.

Thats like taunting a man's wife or child in front of him... it may be wrong for him to pound you in the ground, and it may be illegal, but you can generally bank on it happening - acting surprised is the last thing you should do.

How about you stop equating violence against a woman with a brawl between two groups of streetfighters.

I would say that if it happened on either side, what that little punk ass kid did was disgusting. It doesn't matter what his party is at all. I hope that girl finds him and presses charges.

Imagine just one election. Just one, where white men were not allowed to vote. We'd have the most progressive government in the world.

37. The Brown Shirts now wear Green Shirts--monster.com
Which means he was an official "meet and greet" volunteer for the RNC.

Different color shirts had different jobs.

Monster signed up, 'vetted', 'trained' all RNC volunteers--and gave them a shirt.

---------

Someone on a blog pointed out the woman he was kicking was in Secret Service custody--true. That means it was a fed crime--true.

It also probably would mean they would feel responsible to act if contacted massively. Monster deserves grief too.

I mean how much effort would people put into pressuring the powers that be to do something about this guy?

Or would it be better to let Karma take its course?

40. Yes. Catch 'em young
Turn him around--maybe. A disincentive against wrong behavior; a nudge outta whatever GOP politics track the creep is into. (I see a circa Texas ANG smirk on the creep's face).

And for Monster and the SS--maybe Monster can do some better training and baby sitting--or not run GOP conventions. Maybe the SS will do what it should have done and arrested him on the spot. Had they done that, we wouldn't be posting his pic.

But seeing as no one is acting that we know of, we are left with demanding action or at least adding shame.

Was the protester injured? She could sue Monster.

Anycase, kicking people not ok.

42. Seems to be happening--think this will explode all over the net
On a bunch of blogs finally--which ought to get some movement.

Might help to get out the Monster and SS angles in comments on those blogs. I posted it here before, here it is again:

1-800-MONSTER.

Sponsorship Opportunities
If you have a sponsorship or event opportunity for Monster's consideration, please send your proposal to:

Press Inquiries:

I'm not up to calling the SS personally--but maybe someone will.

Or other ideas???

I wrote to WABC/Channel 7 to see if they've followed the story up or know anything. Not expecting much of a response, but we need to keep this republican thuggery in check.

Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 07:22 AM by OneTwentyoFive
First he looks like a deer caught in the headlights,then he mumbles that he didn't think he kicked anyone on the floor. Big tough fucker when a woman is on that ground,big pussy when caught.

And WTF,all the protesters were arrested but they just *sigh* don't know if this "young Republican" will be arrested. What GD bullshit...
