Of course, I know my last statement is an over-generalization, but I'm really pissed right now.

This is one person being violent to another. I don't think the republican party condones this behavior and is likely embarrassed by it. As far as I know they don't advocate literally stomping on the heads of their detractors as a party policy. Writing off an entire group of people because of the actions of one is probably unwise, I think, and certainly doesn't help in the battle against ignorance.

That said, we'll see how they respond to this and hope this guy gets isolated and ostracized in addition to being legally charged with assault.

Actually...I ended up being kind of right and kind of wrong. They distanced themselves from the "curbstomper" but stopped short of calling it assault...clearly trying to protect the idiot.
