GANNETT EDITOR: OK TO VANDALIZE PROPERTY, THROW BLOOD ON FLAG

Federal Review ^ | Monday, May 09, 2005

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Writing in his syndicated column, Dave Rossie justified the actions of the self-styled "St. Patrick's Day Four" as necessary to counter "Americans' sheep-like acceptance of this administration's lies and deceptions"

But there's NO liberal media....(rolleyes)

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

City of Evil bump:

Dave Rossie the idiot ping.

[My Favorite Headache]

God...Ithaca is truly hell

[tfecw]

I'll be in Ithaca this weekend for graduation. I'm bringing my riot brick, fur coats, greenhouse gas making machine, "assault" weapons, soap, and a cooler full of red meat.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Too bad. This editor should understand that protesters should be willing to take their lumps, say a weekend in jail, as part of their protest. That's what protesters should be proud to do.

Would Rossie support the protesters if they poured blood on the American flag to protest the millions killed by abortion since Roe v. Wade? Or would he be calling for their heads for destroying public property for their right-wing extremism?

Excellent point!

Because the defendants acted out of "conscience," Rossie noted, "The federal judge should toss the case after opening arguments."

Of course, the guy will also use the same argument to defend Eric Rudolph for bombing the abortion clinics...Even if you think abortion is OK, it should be fine for spomeone to protest it in any way they want if they "act out of conscience".

[Chode]

blood on the flag is a Bio-Hazzard and destruction of Federal Property... Guilty as Charged.

the Peoples democRATic Republic of Ithaca EVIL strikes again...

[b4its2late]

It never ends, does it. But it's great to see the libs cracking.....

[BadAndy]

Would the editor defend someone of good conscience who burns down the newspaper building to protest the Anti-American articles?

[WideGlide]

I'm thinking Mr. Rossie will see the justification of my actions when I show up at his house to urinate on the front door in my self-styled "SUV Owning Redneck" counter to whining liberal punks.

[Phantom Lord]

Karl,

The paper Rossie writes for regularly prints letters to the editor from people all over the country (as the area is now a vacant crap hole because everyone moved out). I suggest writting a letter to the editor with your comments and see if they publish it.

The papers web site is pressconnects.com

Have fun!

[BobCNY]

Of course if this was done by a anti-abortion activist, then the media would be screaming for jail time for what they would call "a right wing terrorist".

[clearlight]

The Gannett Corporation is known for it's left-wing editors. Look at McPaper. Better yet, if you live in a city where a Gannett paper is the dominant print outlet, look at the biased propaganda it spews.

[Libertarianize the GOP]

Like Democrats claiming that rules should not apply to Clinton, as long as one is on the right side they are innocent, being on the wrong side equates to guilt without even a need for evidence.

[Chode]

LOL, the POS would prolly bitch if you bought one of his papers and burned it in protest...

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Guess it would be OK to go to the local Gannett building act out of conscience and vandalize their satellite dishes. I would have nothing to gain in so doing and would be merely expressing my feelings.

If you are really commited to a cause , you must be prepared to suffer the consequenses of your actions ,IMVHO .
