Get Mad. Act out. Re-elect George Bush.
The Village Voice | August 25-31, 2004 | Rick Perlstein

Posted on 08/31/2004 11:26:42 AM PDT by The Scourge of Yazid

I decided that rather than giving my own gloss on this piece, I'd just throw upon the forum to comments from freepers who have read it and want to debate its realtive merit.

Personally, as someone who has seen these "demonstrations" up close, I have to agree that they are both counterproductive and idiotic.

I loathe John Kerry, but I almost feel sorry for him, given the inepitude and stupidity of the contingent that is representing his candidacy at the Republican National Convention, here in NYC.

Though his take on the possible actions of the NYPD is grossly inaccurate and slightly paranoid, overall, this is one of the more lucid, thought-provoking pieces in this past week's Village Voice.

I figured that I might as well post this, simply because I haven't-as of yet-seen a similiar thread.

Hopefully, this isn't a duplicate.

Is it still up at the Voice, or have they pulled it?

You have to wonder about anyone who would be swayed to vote for Kerry by the tactics of these "demonstrators."

See my most recent post.

Hopefully, it'll be up soon.

Until then, be patient.

They're actually turning off potential Kerry voters.

Believe me, it's backfiring.

Blech! I think I need to take a shower now.

What a bunch of moronic imbeciles at the VV. Their "readers" (and I use that term very loosely) must be even worse.

Thanks folks!

For those of you who've just found this thread, the link is posted on comment#14 and #15.

Apparently, Perlstein is going to be on FOXNEWS for the next few hours.

I'm sure that he'll be eager to respond to all of you when he returns to his laptop.
