Newt Gingrich Security Team Reportedly Stomps A Ron Paul Supporter, Kicks Away His Flip-Flop

Eddie Dillard, a loyal supporter of Ron Paul, was met with opposition Monday at a Baptist Church in Windermere, Florida. The source? Newt Gingrich‘s security team.
Yahoo!’s Chris Moody reports that Dillard, decked out in a “Ron Paul Rocks America” T-shirt and wielding a “Ron Paul 2012″ sign, became a target for Gingrich’s security personnel when he refused to move from one of Gingrich’s Primary Day campaign stops.
Dillard’s opposing signage was, apparently, too close to Gingrich and his wife Callista, so security attempted to nudge Dillard out of the way. Dillard held his ground until security decided to take action. Moody writes:
Gingrich aides and security personnel swarmed Dillard, trying to intimidate him into moving. One of Gingrich’s security agents stepped in front of him. When Dillard didn’t budge, the agent lifted his heeled shoe over Dillard’s bare foot and dug the back of it into his skin, twisting it side-to-side like he was stomping out a cigarette
Dillard attempted to photograph the action but his phone was knocked out of his hand. One Gingrich campaign aide shouted, “Just block him! …Everyone step on his toes!” Then Gingrich supporters proceeded to hand Dillard a “Newt 2012″ sign. The greatest indignity of the entire episode? According to Moody, “Dillard slipped off his flip-flop to pick up the phone with his foot, and a Gingrich supporter kicked the sandal away.”
