Chaos at the convention, police called to assist. KFOR News Oklahoma.

[flybeech]

Of course, the assaulted Ron Paul supporters were not interested in filing any charges against their attackers and just went back to business.

Very lazily written article, laced with second hand accounts.

[wgadget]

Lol Anyone else noticing this recurrent "but at the end of the day, we're all just one big happy family" that they've been spewing in every article? Boy, are THEY gonna be surprised...

[odamn]

So will you, if you live long enough to get "snappy"
but that's not likely ...

[Okie RP fan]

Ok, SA, can we please combine all of the OK GOP convention threads into one?

[angelatc]

Lol Anyone else noticing this recurrent "but at the end of the day, we're all just one gig happy family" that they've been spewing in every article? Boy, are THEY gonna be surprised...

That works in our favor. I always use inclusive language when talking about such things in the party.

Here is the news clip from the article on youtube now:

its a joke man hell I died once already and they brought me back. I never thought I would make it past 25 now I'm 48 and don't know what to do. One thing for certain though is I'm gonna live till I'm dead for sure next time.

[FlipObamney]

Seriously so what happened in the parking lot, is it for real? Is it going to stick? I don't like how silent this explosive story is.

[MozoVote]

FlipObamney, it will probably play out as Nevada 2008's failed convention. We send a delegation to Tampa, and the party old guard also does. The RNC holds a credentials committee hearing and shafts us. But... we get to roll the OK Republican Party over the coals for a couple of months and find allies who also do not like what was done. Then install new leadership in 2013 or 2014. Just like Nevada did.

[No1butPaul]

Violence is not the answer.

One big happy family. LOL

[thoughtomator]

Violent elderly women who ambush-assault unsuspecting victims ... a better symbol of the GOP establishment one could not conjure with magic.

If this were Ron Paul supporters that did this to Romney supporters it would have been ALL over the news already...

Violence is not the answer.

Self defense is an answer .

[rich34]

Self defense is an answer .

Absolutely, if someone puts there hands on you unprovoked you have everyright to defend yourself. Granted this old fart would have got a bye, but had it been someone of younger age I couldn't say that he wouldn't have got the shit knocked out of him. It's bad enough reading about their dirty tactics, but now reading they're turning to voilence is taking this to a whole new level and should not be tolerated. At the least a police report should have been filed just to get this bs out there. Not that that would happen anyway, but maybe a better chance of it.

[J_White]

turned off the light again ?
OK is the new NV ?

I personally think charges would be filed too. (by Romney supporters)
At least it shows the amount of respect either side has for the process or morality in general. Which isn't looking very good for the other side..

A 70 year old woman punches someone at a political convention, you gotta be kidding me... ONLY in America.

i'd let them hit me and i wont fight back.. then i'll sue them. that seems to be the liberal, pansy way. in a room full of witnesses, with streaming video as evidence... no way u can lose in court. then donate a large sum of the settlement to the campaign/PAC. done and done.

Nowhere EVER does Ron Paul promote violence as civil disobedience.

Nowhere EVER does Ron Paul promote violence as civil disobedience.

ALWAYS peaceful via "Martin Luther King and Gandhi" as he's said several times.

Kinda seems like I could have been supporting the Romney clowns, not my intention.

i don't care how old the lady is, i'd press charges to set an example.

[Ranger29860]

I'm kinda glad it happened. Its about time the GOP supporters showed their true faces. Agree with me or I will hurt you.

I'd have just taken a clearer picture. :p

(kidding. Props to the woman who was level headed enough to immediately go for the cell phone video)
