Colbert Takes On The Rand Paul-Supporting Head Stomper (VIDEO)

Stephen Colbert kicked things off on the "Report" last night by addressing the shocking video unearthed this week of a Rand Paul supporter literally stomping the head of a MoveOn.org activist.

The incident, which happened outside of a Kentucky debate Monday night, had colbert "praising" the assailants for protecting Rand Paul from the 115-pound activist.

"Two men had the courage to throw her to the ground and hold her down, while a third hero stomped on her melon," Colbert reported, adding that it "was her own fault" for not knowing Tea Party rally protocol.

"Everyone knows that if you don't want someone to step on your face at a tea party rally, you carry a flag that says 'Don't tread on me,'" he said.

Colbert also noted that the woman is doing fine and mocked the man who did the stomping, especially for his half-hearted apology and complaints that he hurt his back during the incident. Not one to let a problem go unsolved, Colbert offered a solution in the form of a new product that aids in head-stompings without back pain: the "Reacher-Stomper."

Well done Stephen. With just the right amount of, dare I say it, nuance. One of the early tests of dementia is understanding sarcasm, or not. I think some of those Tea Party Types should be tested.

If enough liberals adopt the "Don't Tread on Me" flag, it'll confuse the teapeeple and they'll eventually abandon what they've tried to co-opt.

What's sick is that Rand has only gained in the polls since this happened. Too many "PlaidShirts" in that state, I guess who get off on violence.

Unfortunately the souther hospitality has left my home state. Remember we as Kentuckians have had Bunning and McConnell in office for quite some time Hopeful the state will survive if Paul is elected but chivalry has long gone

After this mans colonoscopy online I do not read his emails or his publicity unless something grabs me, and the boot says to say, who cares abut a man dressing as a woman and looks better at putting on make up than most women, and why is that guy not running for president? Because he looks like a chic who is really a dude, and makes him self up better than a woman pretending to be a man opretending to be a woman pretending to be a ...I give up.

Oh you "give up" way too fast.

Colbert's shoe cane is great comedy and of course, Tim 'The Stomper' Profitt should get stomped on in court ... assault and battery charges should be pursued by the victim and Profitt's profits handed over to the little lady stomped on while being held down on the pavement in an arm lock by another Rand Paul goon!
