I found it: it was this years Louisiana Republican State Convention.

Following GOP convention rules, and Roberts Rules of Order, Ron Paul delegates kicked out some committee chairs by legal votes, and the Republican poobahs literally ignored them and arrested them. Two Paul people were seriously injured in the scuffle.

Watch the whole video - the Paul people are 100% "in the right", and the Republican big wigs simply freaked out that they were beaten and taken over using their own rules.

The best part is when the Paul people, who have the rightful majority, according to convention rules, turn their chairs around and continue with the meeting. That's when the GOP bigwigs sent in the cops and injuries resulted.

It seems Paul is softening himself for the GOP national convention, in order to save Rand's career. But he has a lot of legally-earned delegates the GOP will deliberately try and screw over-ignore.

I see Jeb Bush has been attacked by the current GOP, too. This party has to get together to be a political force again.

Tea Party vs. Evangelical Loonies (John Birch Society) vs. Old School Big Business Wealth vs. lifetime Republican moderates vs. Ron Paul Libertarians using the party status to advance the Libertarian agenda. The Republicans have never been a "big tent" party, unless a certain faction is in control. That's been up for grabs for two years, and is getting worse, not better.
