During a commercial break at Wednesday’s Republican debate, Rick Perry and Ron Paul continued their spirited exchange on stage. Suddenly, Perry grabbed Ron Paul’s forearm while aggressively pointing his index finger towards the Congressman’s face. Alerted by Perry’s menacing gestures, Ron Paul’s bodyguard (front left) was standing by, ready to protect the Congressman. – end

“He is assaulting Ron. Put his hand on him and his finger in his face. ‘Don’t EVER mention my association with Merck, again, old man’..”
“Wow Perry, staying classy and physically assaulting Congressman Paul.”
“Perry would do well to keep his hands off Dr. Paul in the future. We do have some less stable members of this movement that may take things like that against Dr. Paul personally. You are not untouchable Rick.”
“If there is something to this it could destroy Perry’s campaign. The people will see it as the equivalent if he was stepping on puppies.”
“this pic makes me scared for rons safety. rick perry has hitler written all over him. except less intelligent and less articulate. very scary. very very scary perry”
“Looks like he really grabbed his wrist there. I wonder if Paul’s arm is sore.”
“Hey, win the Iowa Caucuses, and Dr Paul gets his very own Secret Service detail.”
At the September 7 Republican debate, Ron Paul clashed with fellow Texan Rick Perry once again.
This time, things got physical.
During a commercial break, Perry walked up to Paul’s podium, physically grabbed Paul’s wrist, and pointed at Paul’s face with his other hand.
Perry and Paul were placed next to each other at the center for the Republican debate.
Before the physical confrontation, the war of words between Paul and Perry was perhaps even more heated.
When Paul was asked if he supports getting rid of the minimum wage, the doctor briefly answered the question (he supports getting rid of it) and then launched into an attack against Perry.
Rick Perry “criticized the Governor of Massachusetts [Mitt Romney] for RomneyCare, but he wrote a really fancy letter supporting HillaryCare,” said Paul.
In response, Perry said he didn’t know it was going to be “the monstrosity that was known as HillaryCare.”
“Speaking of letters, I was more interested in the one you wrote to Ronald Reagan to say ‘I’m going to quit the Party because of the things you believe in,’” Perry then said to Paul.
