Lets show Nick Lampson some love after Delay GoonSquad attack

After having his press conference today disrupted by a mob organized by Tom Delay's campaign manager Chris Homan, Nick Lampson the Democratic candidate to replace Delay in TX-22 handled it with class and grace. It didn't seem to be anything new to him and I get the impression that this sort of thing happened before. For those who haven't read about this incident yet, mini mum wrote a diary about the incident.

During his press conference, a group of Delay thugs moved in on the Lampson crowd and media and using air horns and typical GOP bullying techniques did their best to disrupt the event. In the melee, a 70 yo Lampson supporter was bullied, assaulted and knocked to the ground.

"I can't believe my Congressman, Tom DeLay, would organize this type of assault," Rovai said.  "I was assaulted by two different people. One of the men hit me and another shoved his sign into my face, and then when I pushed his sign away he violently pulled my hat down over my eyes and pushed me. I'm considering filing an assault charge. This is just very upsetting and I'm so disappointed in Tom Delay for organizing this attack."

 These types of tactics need to be addressed and hopefully those that knocked this woman to the ground have charges pressed against them.

In the meantime, I think we should show Nick Lampson some DKos love. Let's contribute some cash to the Lampson campaign. I can't think of a better way to send a message to these corrupt GOP scumbags than to replace vermin such as Delay with a Democratic Congressman. Your contributions will help greatly. To kick it off I've just sent 25 bucks to Nick, I hope you can do the same.
