During the debate commercial, Gov. Perry tried to intimidate Ron Paul

[steve2470]

EASTON, Md, September 8, 2011 — We have all heard of strong-arm tactics, and during the commercial break at Wednesday night’s GOP Presidential debate at the Reagan Library, Texas Governor Rick Perry was observed doing just that to Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas).

A camera caught the action, but no mikes were on, so this is a perfect example of where actions speak louder than words.

First Perry confronts Paul across the podium of Ambassador Jon Huntsman. Then they stand nose to nose as Perry harangues Paul. Next he shakes his finger in Paul’s face as he grabs his arm. Then he makes one last gesture, perhaps one of giving up in the face of Ron Paul’s stoic, tight-lipped response.

So what ticked off the Governor, making him storm over to Paul during the commercial and confront him?

Paul seems impressed with it.

4. Nobody knows what the discussion was about, Ron Paul

wouldn't comment on it. They could have been talking about a football game for all we know.

7. That's prolly because Paul didn't understand what Perry was saying.

And Perry didn't either, I'll bet.

5. man's a punk

and deserves to be punched in the face.

8. The MSM seems to be ignoring this. They don't want to lose their horse race this early.

I think Perry grabbing another man's arm in anger is unprecedented and very surprising behavior at a Presidential debate.

9. I think Perry and Paul have both denied a confrontation. But, what the heck? nt
