Yup. Outside of the Paul/Conway debate in Kentucky last night, some Paul guys decided it would be a great idea to reenact the curbstomping scene from American History X on a MoveOn.Org vol.

(Mods, if you know how to imbed videos, or somebody else, I'll do it here)
And the story:
I've been to two debates this election cycle in Indiana, and I'll go to two more, and things are getting pretty chippy...we already had a fight at the Nevada Senate debate, and Joe Miller put a reporter in handcuffs last week. Should something be done? Is this okay? Does the fact that these guys purposely chose a CURBSTOMP have any kind of significance? (That was for you Forma)
Poll coming

And the story:
gawker said:A woman protesting against Kentucky Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul outside Monday night's debate was dragged to the ground and had her head "stomped" by a sneaker-wearing old man. Kentucky: You need to take a chill pill.
The woman, Lauren Valle, is a Pennsylvania-based volunteer for the liberal organization MoveOn. She's apparently okay, and the police are describing her injuries as "minor," though she did go to the hospital complaining of "injury to the temple area."
Valle was at the debate wearing a blonde wig and carrying a sign that said "RepubliCorp." She explained the nature of her stunt to local television station WDRB:
"I'm here to present Rand Paul with the 'Employee of the Month' award, however his supporters were not very nice to me and my message which is same as everyone else. I got my head stepped on and I have a bit of a headache."
According to the Lexington Police Department, Valle was accosted while trying to reach Paul and get her picture taken, at which point "she was either tripped on purpose or pushed to the ground." And, as if that wasn't gruesome enough, some nutbar—as you can see in the video—stepped on her head. The people who committed the assault are still unknown.
