what a doofus. Link.

reminds me of this Onion article: "Area Man Passionate Defender of What he Imagines Constitution To Be."

I suppose at least he's the EX republican spokesman... that's something.

I like how at the end the Dems say there is no place for this kind of talk and yet most of their rallies turn violent. Hypocrisy is thick within the Democrat party.

In this context, the word "most" means the great majority of, or nearly all. Some people feel that 51% qualifies as most. I think that's misleading. However, whether or not percentages around 51% count is completely besides the point. The point is that it is difficult to understand how someone can think that most Dem rallies turn violent.

I went to the Democratic National Convention once, and a hockey game broke out.

Ba dum!!!

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen; I'll be here all week!

Really not too hard to attend a rally as one of "them." Incite some violence to make the movement look bad. Oldest trick in the book...

Yeah, because we know that happens all the time and only to the Dems right?

...like that liberal blogger that was telling people to take racists signs to Tea Party rallies...

Funny....didn't realize that my post had a partisan theme to it.

That IS funny...but it's not as funny as that sketch with Milton Berle and Sammy Davis Junior when Sammy keeps doing a whole bunch of sight gags that Milty keeps telling him aren't funny, then finally Sammy grabs a coconut cream pie and just before he can smash the pie into Milty's face, Milty smashes it into Sammy's face instead.

So there they are on stage, with the pie all over Sammy's face, and the audience is roaring with laughter...and just as the laughter is subsiding, Milty says "Now...THAT'S funny...!"

I tell ya, seriously, every time I have ever seen the video of that sketch, I have literally fallen on to the floor, and rolled in gales of laughter for several minutes at a time...

 

[elrod817]

That's definitely funnier. No gales of laughter in this thread....well except for your post.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Well, we have Sammy and Milty to thank for that...

 

[elrod817]

You think he was doing everything in his BVD's back then too?

It didn't. That was just the most recent example I had read about...and my previous post defended dems so I figured it would be ok to cite an example that dings them.

or have the police start knocking a few heads... then splash pics of the carnage on the front page of the newspapers. "liberalism" and "violence" now linked in the minds of most Americans, and they can safely dismiss any criticism of the establishment, the status quo, the government, without even considering the merits of it.

I wasn't really referencing your post, red. Although since my comment came right after yours it may have appeared that way.

OK. Well, I dug up a case going another direction anyway.

Police deploying the ol' agent provocateur. I wonder what the occupy folks are up to these days.

this happens all the time. at the RNC convention a few years ago, a lot of protestors from the left of the political spectrum were allegedly arrested and detained as soon as they set foot in Minneapolis. This was prior to even attending any demonstrations... yet the press reported gangs of other protestors smashing up car windows and vandalizing buildings.

not sure how the police missed those guys, but preemptively arrested any of the non-violent, principled, law-abiding ones.

more recently the same thing happened here in Chicago, and for the last big protest in NYC. in the days before the protests, the NYPD showed up at a number of apartments rounding up and intimidating the OWS folks, usually they had spurious grounds for it, like a bench warrant for an outstanding parking ticket of someone else who had once lived at that address.

The 2008 DNC held here in Denver went off without a hitch and was a pretty fun event to check out for a day. There were tons of vendors and musicians and groups of all different backgrounds parading around and making their views known. Maybe it was because Obama had such an excitement around him or because he wasn't an incumbent, but the DNC was very positive and energetic and I can't say I recall one episode of "violence" at all (that wouldn't have taken place anyways in Denver that night).

I remember during the 2004 RNC that held in NYC to try to create some sort of tie to 9/11, that there was pretty widespread "violence" and disruptive behavior.

But I didn't attribute any of that to the GOP, it was simply because they'd chosen the heart of New York City to parade around in that they drew such a reaction.

And then there was the wacko naked hippie chick that FoxNews ran as an RNC "protestor" for days, because there was no other footage that could really undermine the "protestors" of the RNC, given the legitimacy of their beef, the 2000 election results and arrogance of Bush and the GOP to set up camp in Manhattan, so as to invoke images of Giuliani and smoldering buildings and not the hours of non-response from Bush following the attacks.

 

[KAWDUP]

Right it was Bush's non-response that must have caused the war and untold unecessary pain to people who lost a loved one that day. Maybe saying hours of non-response is supposed to elicit some kind of what - shame?

The DNC was all cherries and rainbows, and of course the RNC was rape and pillage and everything bad. You are so transparent it's ridiculous.

Could you be any more partisan?

Sheesh!
