Video: Young republican kicking a protester.

[Renew Deal]

I just got this from a friend. It's from inside MSG.
_________________________________________________________________
ere is a link to the page that shows a young Republican kicking a protester while she is down multiple times. That's compassionate conservatism for you.
Spread this out to as many people as possible. The assailant is named Taylor Bickford. I wonder if he was even sent to jail.

click on the green type that says "see quicktime movie".

At first it appeared that we had the republicans name, but the video appears to be mislabled.

You can see a better video at http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/news/gopcon/index.html

It's on the right and it's called Protestors Breach Security, Make it to Garden Floor.

1. I saw a guy pushing them off chairs, even a woman in her chest. Class act

They really are hateful.

[TheDonkey]

19. We should all start contacting the media about this story, outrageous

I haven't heard of it either. But they LOVED to show that black kid kicking a cop. Saw it like 20 times.

This punk takes down an asian girl and it's swept under the carpet.

2. What an amazing asshole.

Another reason I am not a Republican. I will not be in a party that promotes that kind of behavior as a matter of course.

[Ravenseye]

8. Nothing to do with being Republican

Like it would be different if the reverse happened. Hell I did some volunteering up in NH this winter and once saw two small groups one Kerry one Clark practically come to blows in a parking lot...one person broke it up and separated the groups, but if not I don't doubt they would have started hitting and kicking each other...

No. The difference between them and us is that we UNDERSTAND that we're animals, and can then see past this fact, and use it to overcome obstacles which prevent us from acting HUMANE. Republicans by and large do not understand this. They dont' think they're animals, therefore their actions can go out of control and they hold no guilt about it.

3. that little woman HAD to have significant bruising from Bickford

kicking her - I hope she had pix taken of her injuries.

[tandot]

4. Disgusting little weasel. I hope someone is kicking his ass as soon as

that tapes gets out in public...

Hate mongers... :puke:

21. Thanks

Yes, it's working now. Just had to restart my computer. Something must have got jacked up with my browser.

[Romulus]

9. w-a-a-y better link

the full story at WABC-7 shows Taylor Bickford as being someone completely different, so I'd hold off on the phone calls for now.

http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/index.html#

Click on: "Video: Protestors Hit Garden Floor, One Kicked By Delegate"

You get to see the Ronald McDonald-looking-guy denying he kicked anyone . . .

[VolcanoJen]

14. That is incredibly disturbing.

Thank you for the link, Romulus.

The look on Ronald McRepublican's face when the reporter said "We have video of you kicking the protestor" was chilling.

[funkybutt]

20. damnit! that link doesn't support Mac OS!

[jwirr]

34. All they ever do is deny their actions.

There is a book called "Whatever Happened to Sin?" I think I know the answer now. It is simply denied and then it no longer exists. Oh, of course there are two sins left - a blow job in the oval office and being a single mother. Not only are the right-wingers destroying our nation, they are also destroying Christianity. In their view lying is the highest form of diplomacy.

[AP]

10. NPR did an audience interview at Dem Conv trying to make it sound evil

and calculating in coordinating which signs they held up. They acted like they were doing an exposé when they revealed that there is a person who gets a radio call and then tells the delegates to hold up specific signs.

What do you want to bet they don't even mention that Republicans are tearing signs out of people's hands, pushing them to the ground and kicking them.

Here's the film:

12. can you spell L - A- W - S - U - I - T

[mark11727]

15. Smells like a case of aggravated assault to me....

[drdigi420]

16. fucking rednecks

[gatorboy]

17. Anyone from Alaska?

The GOP site says Taylor Bickford is a delegate from there.

[TheWebHead]

23. he was also an intern

for Sen. Lisa Murkowski last summer:

[spanone]

18. Arrested 11 protesters. After a week of lies, now it's delegates turn

Watch the little shit lie right into the camera.

[napi21]

22. Who are these people? Are they Dems that snuck in or what?

I don't understand all the violence in the Pub Convention!!!

[VolcanoJen]

24. KICK, especially for Post #9 - great video link there.

:dem:

[VolcanoJen]

25. WOW. They've taken the link from post #9 DOWN. (EDIT: It's still there)

ON EDIT: It appears that the second link in Bleachers' original post is still up.... can't link from post #9 anymore, though.

Sorry for my momentary hysteria. :-)

27. Wearing a Monster.com golf shirt

Issued to RNC voluteers, which Monster is running.

I suggest we point out to them that Monster has turned into a monster:

Probably somehbody can find (?) someone further up the food chain at Monster to email/call too.

[sub.theory]

28. They sure better track that repug down

If they can charge a protester with 35 years cause a cop fell through a skylight and hurt his leg (through no fault of the protestor's), I think justice demands that they spend the effort to track this thug down. I don't care if they have to extradite him. That was flat out assault. Thanks to poster #9 as well for the video link. That look on that jerks face when they told him he was caught on camera was priceless.

:shrug:

[PROGRESSIVE1]

33. Republican = American Nazi Party

[jackstraw45]

35. Kick...this guy HAS to be charged with ASSAULT!

This is WRONG!

[Seabiscuit]

36. I can't get either link to work

I think this is a direct link:

[DrFunkenstein]

38. Cowardly On Two Counts - 1. Cheap kick 2. Not having the balls to admit it

What an asshead.

[LoZoccolo]

39. You know what? WABC are asspipes for not turning that filthy fuckwad in.

Serious. They had the guy right there, knew he was on camera committing assault and battery, and they didn't call the cops on him. This fascist peckerwood should be in jail tonight, should get sentenced to go to prison, and get sued off his smug predatory-honor-student dickfuck ass.

[mountebank]

40. Is this really MSNBC describing the same incident?

Could MSNBC possibly be describing the same incident here????

<snip>

Also taken into custody on Wednesday were a dozen whistle-blowing AIDS activists who infiltrated the Garden during a gathering of young Republicans.

Cheers and scuffles

A scuffle broke out, and one young Republican suffered a cut near his temple. A demonstrator, with authorities grabbing her knees and shoulders, was carried off the floor to cheers.
