Does anyone remember *this* kind of stuff?
I'm thinking back to....about a year and-a-half ago, on the 2004 Campaign trail.

I kept seeing photos of Dems and such protesting loudly at * speeches, while some freeper comes along and shuts them up. The "shutter-uppers" are the kind of people we lost this election to.

I hope I'm making myself clear. The point is, if you saw those kinds of photos, you'd never forget 'em!

1. I only remember the photos of
the woman protestor at the RNC being kicked by a Freeper, the gold star mother being arrested outside a campaign stop with Laura Bush, and other people being grabbed at Potemkin town meetings and thrown out or arrested outside the facilites.

People who tried to ask real questions weren't shouted down and told to shut up as much as they were manhandled by goons and arrested for trespass(!) by tame local cops.

3. We need our own "shutter-uppers"
Like this in the California special election campaign: http://mediadrool.com/movies-md/Genevieve.wmv

I am no longer interested in "elevating the dialogue" and all that other nice stuff.

I want to win, and if that means cheating and thuggery, than so be it. It's just going to have to be done for the good of the country.

4. I don't think you have to go back 1 1/2 years to find the shut-up guys!
They're at every Shruib speech, watching the parking lot for anti * stickers, people with anti Shrub t-shirts etc. They still make sure the boy in the bubble is shielded from any sound of bad news!
