these stories should cement their opinions.

By the way, lest anyone think this is an isolated, one-time incident, Jaded posted this story about other Leftist terrorists assaulting a bus filled with delegates en route to the convention.

Just match up these stories of criminal acts on behalf of the Left with the repulsive postings we’ve seen on RS today, and you get a fine picture of the scum that they are. Stinking, repugnant, disgusting scum that shouldn’t even be allowed to live in this country, much less be elected to public office.

Anti-war ‘pacifists’ who use violence to undermine democratic process? Unfortunate that this is what we have come to expect from the left…

Liberals are the most tolerant people on the planet until you disagree with them.

Great bunch of folks. I hope they let their stripes show during the convention.

These Obama supporters are the logical extension of the debasement of discourse by the left. From Keith Olbermann, to Michael Moore, to Kos, to former DNC chairman Fowler – just in last 24 hours -there is not a shred of decency or humanity remaining on the left.

This will receive little to no coverage by the cooperative media, who are accessories to this behavior. There will be no outrage, no condemnation, no mention. The thug arm of the left can roam freely and do what it wants, with Democrats and the media complicit.

Here’s one lefty that will step up and say this was a repugnant act. But at the same time, don’t make the claim that this is somehow the type of thing that should cement your opinion of “the left.” Fringe groups like this are fringe for a reason…they don’t in any way represent the decent people everywhere else on that side of the aisle.

There’s a fringe right, too, and I would not be so irresponsible as to assign their traits to the right as a whole.

Nothing more

Thank you all for the support you’ve been showing us today. Thankfully we’re all ok – just a bit shaken up. The entire delegation is anxious to get back to the Convention so we can get John McCain nominated and then elected as the 44th President of the United States.

   Most democrats that I know of (such as members of the AFL-CIO in my family) are like the zombies in ConservaGreek’s quote.  They just vote Democrat because it gives them an excuse to be lazy for just a little while longer and not care if they’re leaving the bill in the hands of a younger generation to which my nieces and nephew belong.  The radical thugs, on the other hand, have been driving the agenda for the party for the past several years and are effectively serving as mob muscle in hopes of either discouraging people from voting against their sponsors’ side or provoking a violent reaction which they can use to justify escalating violence.

These protestors will, when they vote, vote for Obama.

   Or they may not vote at all.  I’ve gotten the feeling that the most angry of the anarchists just throw things at people and wait for the world to catch fire.  Voting means nothing to them, unless there was something in it for them and not for everybody else, in which case, they’ll gladly trample on us all to justify their “Sticking it to the Man”.

I’m sure Obama would condemn such behavior, and say that anyone working for his campaign who engaged in it would be fired.

That seems to excuse anything right?

As I have no problem advertising, I am very liberal, and anti-war.

I lived for a time in New York — my (now ex) husband and I moved up there so he could start his OB-GYN residency. So I was there during the run-up to the Iraq War.

While I did not carry a sign, I was involved with the protest movement — as a legal observer for the National Lawyers Guild.

Legal observers and their video and audiotapes provide an objective record of what happened, at least if the person operating the camera is being objective. Some “law collectives” train “copwatchers” who are only focused on trying to catch police breaking the law. The NLG feels that the only way legal observers will be taken seriously if they are asked to testify in court is if they are taught to watch both sides of a conflict and report objectively.

For example, one person’s videotape in Denver of the first mass arrest shows a police officer pursuing a protester that was walking backwards, either attempting to hit him or trying to make the protester think he was going to hit him with his baton.

But before the officer could actually strike the protester, one of his fellow officers ran up, grabbed his buddy by the arm, and yanked him back to the police line.

I personally believe the officer that restrained his buddy deserves a commendation. Too bad you can’t see his badge number in the video. But video, if it is taken objectively, can protect the 99.99999% of good police officers from untrue accusations of excessive force, as well as protecting a protester from the incredibly rare “bad apples”.

I firmly believe that this country was founded on the right to peacefully protest and the right to free speech, so I wish to protect it. I even will defend the “GodHates**” people’s right to protest — because if I want the right to peacefully demonstrate, I have to give that right to others who may not agree with me.

But throwing rocks and breaking windows and throwing watered-down bleach on people has nothing to do with free speech at all. And I’m very ashamed of the people who decided they were entitled to harm people and damage property in the name of free speech.

Where are the arrests?

Entitled “Brief Act of Vandalism”

“Even if you viscerally disagree with John McCain, you do not get your message across by breaking private property! For all you know this belongs to an Obama supporter. That parking garage, that car most likely belonged to an Obama supporter. Because I’m telling you, man, Obama supporters got me outnumbered 95% to 5. Think!”

“You start knocking this stuff over, the dominoes begin falling. This is a beautiful city, don’t ruin it.”
