we had full right rudder fighting to hold her from continuing her violent swing to the left. She did not respond to the go around and continued down still vibrating
Not a bad story for the bar - but why full right rudder to stop a perceived turn through 75 degrees? Full right rudder will literally screw you into the ground. Also with both pilots fighting the controls sounds like a huge mistake. Who was in control - the captain or you? You cannot have both pilots flying as it is certain you will have opposing control inputs without realising it. I know it seems like cynicism, but I think you have allowed yourself to get carried away by your own perception of what happened.

All that fighting the turbulence with over-controlling usually means the spoilers are moving rapidly and this makes things worse than they should be.
