When's the last time you saw Republicans demonstrate
Aside from the religious right that are always
proclaiming their persecution, Republicans do not demonstrate.

They may preach, spin, bribe and call others
positively insane liars - but they do not demonstrate.

The last time I remember seeing Republicans demonstrate
was when Congressional staffers got a memo to get
dressed up like actual people and go down to Florida to demonstrate
outside the election recount offices.

Seeing how successful that was you would think they would
try it more often.

1. Uh, go look at Glen Beck's web page for the pictures from
the Pro-War, er, Pro-Troops rallies.

That's their "demonstration". Death and Destruction for non-whites and homosexuals.

5. hmm
Their demostrations take the form of Bully Graham sing and dance and pray TV specials...like the one that appeared immediatly following W's announcment of WAR at the neocon think tank in CT.


The early rallies...



The hired audience...

2. They dont have to, they just write multi-kilobuck checks
to further their agendas.

3. When they burned Dixie Chicks CDs....
of course they could have been confused by the concept of good country music.

10. Good question...I've seen them do so in florida and..
They were forever in front of abortion clinics and on sidewalks around town asking people to honk if the were "pro-life".... They got pretty loud too. They protested in San Francisco several times when there was a gay pride day or something. They were out there just the other week protesting the gay marriage thing. They protest the anti-death penalty groups when some poor soul is about to meet his maker...etc.

I guess we go out more than they do, but they ARE out there doing their thing...usually they are not very peaceful about their protests either. They like to say we are the "ugly" protesters..hardy har har.

11. What about the Republican mob that stormed the vote counting office
in Florida 2000 and terrorized the staff, shutting down the count!
