Ron Paul Lunatics
Sean returns to his hotel after crazy Ron Paul protesters rallied outside of a restaurant he was visiting in Manchester, New Hampshire.

--my comments--
According to Ron Paul forums, about 200 Paul supporters were part of this attack on Sean. They claim they were only throwing snowballs but the videos make it clear they were throwing bottles and other items other than snowballs.
Warning, foul language by Paul supporters.
“You clearly know nothing about me. I know what Brownshirts did and I know how they started.”
I respectfully disagree.
There was no violence here.
The only similarity is that the brownshirts were opposed to leftists - and Sean is a big old leftist supporter - he supports the pro-abortion anti-rkba Giuliani, and thinks that government is here to solve our problems.
“I’m just coming to this thread. I’m sure the Ministry of Silly Explanations has quite a plausible reason for all of this behavior. I’m going to search this thread for it now.”
Did you try watching the video, instead?
If you did, you’d see there was no violence, nothing thrown, and that the entire post is hyperbole.
Not yet.
“I attended a Mitt rally tonight and, on the way, the Paulites were driving up and down Main street (Elm) waving flags, hooting, hollering etc.”
Yes, because people waving the American flag must be America hating psychos.
It’s all clear now.
Not yet.
...except, of course, for whatever they were throwing.
But hey, it's "Breaking News." This site really has gone a lot more statist in the last 4-6 years.
Tell me the second mark that there is something thrown in the video.
If it’s not in the video, it didn’t happen? Even if the victim says things were thrown?
Nothing thrown that shows up in the video.
“...except, of course, for whatever they were throwing.”
I watched both videos.
No one was shown throwing anything.
One person said, don’t throw snowballs, you’ll get arrested.
Hannity and crowd didnt appear to be hit by anything. Or dodging anything.
I guess you hate Paul because he opposes abortion and supports the rights of gun owners? Maybe Rudy is your style, since you’re a big Hannity fan.
The only thing in the video that would help that is that someone says “Hey don’t throw any snow.” Since it’s not in the video, we don’t know if it was just picked up or thrown it’s tough to say. A good snow ball throw while rude, and probably deserves a misdeamenor ticket, is hardly a huge ruckus especially if it was just one person. I see nothing on the link to Hannity claiming anything was thrown, just the original poster on this link.
Probably just forgot. ....THC-saturation and all.
“If its not in the video, it didnt happen? Even if the victim says things were thrown?”
Cite source?
Hannity is hardly a “victim” btw, lulz.
Probably just forgot. ....THC-saturation and all.
There is no "force" in the video. Please point out the second mark that it happens. This thread is just ridiculous hyperbole at best and outright lying/dishonest at worse. Go ahead and watch the videos.
Such warm personalitites and apparently so well-adjusted.
(Dang...cannot do it. Just cannot keep a straight face with any of my comments on this thread this morning.)
If the stuff was thrown at him, he’s the victim. On his show today he mentioned the things being thrown.
I don’t hate Paul.
Oooh, two lies in one sentence. Are you going for a record?
