These actions are few and far between. And many of the protesters are from out of town. But even the Slimes can't claim they are "mainstream" Americans.

Trust me, the NYPD's watching. And they're not going to let the protesters get out of hand.

John Kerry, Call off your Protesting Attack Dogs!!

[KC_Conspirator]

The GOP - fighting terrorism. The liberals - fighting America, alongside the terrorists.

[NYCVirago]

I can't believe that this ran in the Times. It's actually kind of sympathetic towards the delegates, not the protestors!

"Trust me, the NYPD's watching. And they're not going to let the protesters get out of hand."

particularly when one of these imbeciles is trying to murder another policeman.......

I think the cops will turn aggressive...

I noticed at the anti-Bush protest in my town, that the worse people were young nothings, with piercings everywhere, and they were foul mouthed and very personal in their attacks...

I hope the Demonrat media at least have the decency to show their own uglies on the news shows......

[MisterRepublican]

Kerry and the DemocRATS sure are desperate. Despite claims to the otherwise, ALL of these punks are voting Kerry. I wouldn't doubt direct collusion with DNC Kerry is definitely doing nothing to discourage these attacks.

[ozzymandus]

Well, they're attacking cops now. The delegate from Texas seemed pretty naive to be suprised that the RATs were loud and profane. The lady who said a demonstrator stuck his finger in her face should be told how to deal with that problem. You grab that offending (offensive) digit and bend it backwards until you hear a loud "snap". I saw that done once in a bar and it was very effective.

Democrats learning from Osama. Just not deadly yet.

"Protesters' Encounters With Delegates"??

Bzzzzt. Wrong. Delegates' encounters with protesters. The headline makes it appear as though the delegates were seeking out the protesters. Lazy, stupid, inept, or biased reporting...

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Protestors, these are Kerry and DNC democrat goons.

[GeronL]

Thursday is going to be ugly. I think they plan it that way

[Floratina]

I hope that tv news crews pick up on this and capture this harrassment on tape. If I were a delegate encountering this scum during an evening out, I couldn't imagine feeling anything but pity for them all the while having a good laugh at their expense. They are so pathetic. "Ooh, ooh. Surely I feel shame over my position on the issues now since you disagree with me."

[Kirkwood]

America look at the true face of the democratic party. Pretty ugly, don't you think? Somewhere in this crowd of anarchist you will even find future democrat presidential candidates. God help us.

[kenth]

The protester's encounter? Why do we even bother with the NYT?

[L.N. Smithee]

Is pepper spray legal in NY?

[montag813]

As a New Yorker, this makes my damned blood boil. I live in Chelsea and have already gotten into numerous altercations, one of which was broken up by police (this was after I tore some anti-Semetic signs to shreds). My wife does not want me to even go out for milk anymore, she is afraid I'll get really hurt. My rage is seething. I despise these scumbags, and would love the chance to let loose on one of them.

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[Fast1]

I am sure there are a lot of Cameras catching the action..

[FesterUSMC]

Why do they keep saying, although largely peaceful, i have now heard of at least 10 different incidents, how many arrests we made in Boston? I thought the democrats we supposed to be the party of peace, a civility. If i remember correctly nobody was arrested in Boston, the number arrested in NY has to be in the 100's

[CWOJackson]

Very simple, issue all the delegates tasers, pepper spray and some nice batons.

[dirtboy]

"I think it is quite unfair for the R.N.C. and the delegates to tell us we should not be telling them we think they are exploiting the fears of the people."

Free speech for me, but not for thee...
