Protest, protesters, attitude against protesters. St. Paul, RNC last fall.

Remember it? Talk about an all out pre-meditated and pre-planned program to smother protesters. Talk about agitating protesters for violence. Talk about not permitting peaceful protesters. Talk about smearing protesters. Talk about the treatment of journalists who were authorized and identified. Remember the contempt of tv guest experts demeaning against Code Pink protesters with passion.

Slowly, since the Patriot Act or since Kent State, the idea of protesters leaning left has sent the right wing into a frenzy of fear and derision and police brutality.

We have heard stories that their are empty prisons built for the purpose of populating them with protesters (and temporarily being used for rounded up 'Mexicans').

While the right wing has attacked independent protesters for decades, no matter how peaceful - remember the NYC bicyclists?

NOW, it is a big deal and a big business. Right wing companies are profiting from rallying protests of their pitiful, self-blinded followers.

The Democrats have never kept up with the right wing. I don't ever remember lobbyists and big politicians and ceo's and former Presidential candidates (Armey), and other former Congresspeople and aides working a push to get their right wing constituents to storm meetings and arranging payments for Beck and Limbaugh type howlers.

The door pounders of the right wing have turned on themselves. They no longer have a right to attack independent protesters who are heavily Democratic.

We are free to conduct peaceful protests without their haranguing us.

It is very typical of the right wing that they are protesting something good for the country because of lies. Changing reality Rovian style has really worked on them. They are victims of their own Party's deviousness.
