I wonder do these protesters remember what happened in 1999 at the World Trade Organization conference in Seattle, WA. The violence of the protesters back then turned a lot of undecided voters against voting for former VP Al Gore. They're not going to realize that if the protests turn violent this will cause many battleground state voters to solidly vote for Bush because people WILL equate the Democrats with these protesters.
But even regular Dems,who aren't of the extreme bent,and yes,there are some...even in N.Y.C.,will NOT take this as being "okay".And should they bash windows of Limousine Libbies'establishments,there WILL be hell to pay.
I couldn't believe that Tom Hayden crawled back from under a rock. I'm old enough to remember all the problems created by the Chicago Eight. I can't believe this is all coming around, again. Try as I might, I just can't get inside the mid-think of these people.
