MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Session-long tensions in the Alabama Senate boiled over Thursday as Republican Sen. Charles Bishop of Jasper punched Democratic Sen. Lowell Barron of Fyffe in the head before the two were pulled apart.
The 69-year-old Bishop said he punched Barron, 65, in the head after the senator called him a "son of a bitch."
"I responded to his comment with my right hand," Bishop said.

Wish we could export that attitude toward dems to the federal level. But, the last time I think that happened in congress was in the 1850s with the dem beating the republican with the gutta percha cane.
Try sign language.

Very tasteful.
Wow it took to #39 to get a sane post. I don’t care what you call me. Learned a long time ago walking away when most would expect you to physically respond is always the mature decision. Hotheads that respond with physical violence are always the losers
I tried...
You just have to know Lowell Barron to know that Lowell is known to go way above the "just called another name" level. I personally know the man fairly well, as well as his opponent in the last few elections. Lowell Barron is the lowest of snakes (and that is mild to what his estranged wife says about him). This man lies when cornered (he runs on the protect the poor logo, but manages to slither out of his pawn brokers business that rip poor people a new one).
In the last election he even went to just bald face lying (claiming that his Republican opponent took over a city street and that he was funded by Southern bigwigs).. Don Stout is about is clean as a whistle and should be featured in a Irish Spring commercial.
I have seen Lowell Barron curse in front of a little child. It was my own 4y/o to be exact. One Christmas parade he was in the back holding area where the parade begins drinking and drinking hard. Waiting for the parade to begin, and they had some trailer pulled in for him (probable his own trailer). Anyhoo, I went to ask him about why HE pulled the plug on the live feed on the Alabama senate so us normal political head could listen to it without having to believe the liberal newspaper spin doctors (which kissed his butt).
Lowell Barron was surrounded by local Dimocrat scum that were kissing his butt at the time (though I think only Barron was drinking). Then I walked up with my child in hand and asked him about why he still had the internet live connection disconnected. Lowell started laughing great barrels of laughs at me and said to the best of my memory "That Republican pisses in a fruit jar". This was of reference to when Barron took the power away for the Lt. governor a few years ago and the Lt. governor was filibustering to keep it from happening (if he gave up the podium the issued passed giving the dims more power).
Lowell deserves more than a right hook IMHO.. and it spawns from being more than a filthy mouth liberal dim... as my tagline suggests, that man is just evil.
Cheers!
I understand the frustration, I feel it too. I just wish we had some smart savvy Republicans that would fight back using somthing other than schoolyard tactics.
Thanks, I’m glad I’m not alone cruising around these parts.
Now if you tell me that Don Stout is clean as a whistle I will take you at your word since I don’t personally know the man. But his conduct on the day in question should be judged, and appropriate actions taken.
If I was a snake in the Alabama Senate I would be whispering to Don Stout what I think of his mom at every opportunity. Whats one punch in my cheek compared to a black eye on a whole party.
