When liberals protest, they are loud, rude, obnoxious, and in your face

[mudesi]

When conservatives protest, they bomb clinics, send anthrax in the mail, burn crosses, hang nooses, and shoot you dead.

I'm tired of people complaining about Code Pink or Cindy Sheehan or any other true patriot out there.

1. Absolutely correct! We are conscience of law and life.

:applause:

[windoe]

16. extreme conservatives?

These people call themselves 'conservatives'. The only thing they are conserving is a shock and awe state of emergency, so they can dismantle the Constitution further. We have to stop calling them 'conservatives' and call them what they really are--extremists!! At the same time, most of America is diverse and over the last 7 years, unless we have been duped by these extremists, we have been royally insulted and threatened by them. I expect to see meltdowns in public from now on from average citizens who just can't take it anymore. I am so tired of this conservative/liberal ploy to make it sound like average citizens who want to conserve (yes!!) the environment, civil rights, religious rights and peace in the world are the extremists----WE ARE NOT THE EXTREMISTS!
(I meant this as a general reply/rant!)

2. Not true , they just don't get Arrested,,

I mean stopping a vote count, how much more criminal can you get?

[WCGreen]

4. You know, we really should find out where all those fuckin' Nazi's

are now...

what are they doing since they orchestrated the Board of Election brawl..

[cali]

5. One of the behind the scenes guys, is running the Justice Department

That would be Acting AG Keisler, one of bushco's attnys in FL in 2000.

[WCGreen]

6. That's always good to know...

[Wapsie B]

41. Damn, where's some wacko with an assault weapon when you need one?

Only half-kidding here. However I do hope all of these fine folks have a less than pleasurable existence on this earth.

[AntiFascist]

12. Right On! And, that pic is definitely worth a million words...

these are the scum who have taken control of our government.

[iheartobama]

15. How was this group of wusses....

able to stop a vote count??

[Wapsie B]

43. Wouldn't an angry mob be more than a little intimidating?

There's an implied threat of violence with mobs like this. Whether or not any physical contact was made, the threat was there. The gop has that working to their advantage big time. I mean, who cares about pissing off a bunch of Democrats? With the repugs though there's the visions of the abortion clinic bombers and the killing of Doctors. Alan Berg's death still sends a message to those who dare cross these people. Sometime one of those neanderthals may come unhinged and kill again.

42. I can't believe we fell for that little stage play.......

[LoZoccolo]

3. Lame. n/t

[ret5hd]

9. Dooga dooga dooga dooga dooga?

You wanna talk about lame? :rofl:

[progressoid]

27. Yep

[ulysses]

47. but you're going to stand up for conservatives because you're a centrist,

not a conservative...

[Breeze54]

7. Like conservatives have room to talk!

:rofl:

--------------------

Yeah!! ~~ Liberals even hold up SIGNS!! ~~ OMG!!!!



Beach Impeach


Great post!! ;)

:kick: & Recommended!!

[robinlynne]

8. right you are! Time for us to get louder.

[intheflow]

10. Kick! n/t

[Richard Steele]

11. kicked and recommended.

[debbierlus]

13. Give this a BIG ol kick & recommend

Absolutely right.

[bonito]

14. And that's the truth! Recommended!

[libnnc]

17. Damn freaking straight!

:applause:

[redqueen]

18. Let's not let their pundits off the hook, either.

Right-wing talk shows far too often incite people to violence.

Curious how the FCC seems to be okay with that.

[rabies1]

19. We seem to be painted as radical, overzealous, dangerous.. etc.

And it doesn't help when the Dems in power lay down and let it pass.

[blossomstar]

20. But when the conservatives do horrible things it is ok because

GOD TOLD THEM TO!

[KingFlorez]

21. I agree

[yoyossarian]

22. Or they politely suggest SOMEONE should kill their enemies for them!

http://steponnopets.com/peo">President Evil Online has risen from the grave!

[Mnemosyne]

23. Hear, hear! n/t

[Fearless]

24. Exactly

We have every right to be pissed off. Imagine if everyone had healthcare and there was no profit to be made from a hoax of a war in someone else's country, if women's right to choose wasn't contested, if we gave human rights even to those who didn't deserve them because they are inalienable not a choice, imagine if we had a tax system that penalized the rich for benefiting off the poor and helped the poor instead of shafting them to give the rich a tax cut... Yeah, I'd be bombing clinics and shooting people... :sarcasm:.

NTF

[galileo3000]

25. I disagree with those tactics as well.

[hiphopnation]

26. you'd think such things wouldn't need to be pointed out here

kinda sad that this post has to even come into being here, but, such is life.

K&R with heavy heart. :(

[Ian_rd]

28. Oh damn, that's so right. When the Right protests, it is frequently domestic terrorism

Timothy McVeigh - the most famous right-wing protestor of all time, with Eric Rudolph being perhaps second.

Of course, not all right-wing protestors are murderers. Take Fred Phelps for one ...

[Mad_Dem_X]

36. Exactly

When was the last time a liberal protester bombed a building or sent death threats to someone?

ETA: The Right uses violence, fear, and intimidation tactics to make their point. The Left uses facts.

[Dave From Canada]

38. Hmm, what about Ted Kaczynski, or the Earth Liberation Front? You can find extremes on both sides.

I don't like generalizing anyone. That's the same logic that's used to broad-brush all Muslims as terrorists.

[NoGOPZone]

40. What about Kaczynsk? He's no liberal nt

[kestrel91316]

44. Put the violent RWers on one side of a scale. Put the few violent

left-wingers you can find (if any) on the other side of the scale.

You get ONE guess what happens. It's sort of like if you do the same with the pedophiles and closeted hypocritical gays and meth-using uber-christian preachers and such. Not even a contest.

We are into civil disobedience and peaceful protest. We make noise. The RW is the ones advocating violence and folowing through with it, in spades.

[digidigido]

29. come on

Neither side has a monopoly on asshole-ism. The difference is entitlement.
Old money has a sense of entitlement that bowls over people not used to it.
Old money and power seem to go together, as do conservatives. They've
been down these roads and know how to navigate them. People who understand
how to channel their anger do it much more effectively the those that let it
simmer and explode in rage

[sampsonblk]

30. The Civil Rights movement was not loud and obnoxious-nt

[BrklynLib at work]

33. Bet there were some folks around back then that would disagree with you...

Sitting around quietly only accomplishes so much...then one must march and chant and protest loudly.

[digidigido]

37. Civil Disobediance IS about channeling anger effectively

No one is saying sit around and do nothing, what they are saying is think before you act.
When emotions are the leader, you're in deep trouble, that's when people make mistakes
say things poorly that could be said much more effectively if the anger was ratcheted down.
No one hears the message through the craziness of the rage.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

31. As opposed to conservatives...

who are loud, rude obnoxious and in your face pretty much all the time.

[BrklynLib at work]

32. You got that right!!!! I am with you 100%.

As I have seen on a bumper sticker.. "WELL-BEHAVED WOMEN SELDOM MAKE HISTORY"

[SmokingJacket]

34. REC'D! nt

[edbermac]

35. Fuckin' aye!!

I'm tired of having neocon shit forced down my throat!

We gotta keep these scum on a leash FOREVER!

[Ino]

39. If our congresscritters were more responsive & assertive...

there wouldn't be any need for rude displays from protestors. But NO ONE is listening to us, so what do they expect?

[Dukkha]

45. the cons are are loud, rude, obnoxious, and in your face at funerals

except thw BusCo who avoid all funerals as best they can

[Breeze54]

46. So, what are we going to do about it? SHOUT LOUDER TOMORROW!! You Going??
