Another excellent AEI rant from Marni Soupcoff. You go girl!

Let's keep them front and center. The Lefty loco-weeds bring us more voters than all the GOP Convention speeches could ever win over.

These monkeys are just warming up. It is going to get hairier from here.

No, the anti-Bush protestors capturing headlines in the Big Apple are not having their desired effect of pushing the current president out of the White House. They’re reminding Americans of the fringier, wackier side of the left that Democrats like John Kerry normally try to keep under wraps during an election year. And this is better anti-Democrat publicity than the Republicans could ever buy. What quicker way to cause second thoughts amongst Republican voters considering straying to Kerry than by wearing a “Keep your laws off my vagina” t-shirt or defacing public property with a spray paint propelling computer as Bush protestors have?

I think many mainstream Dems are finally realizing that a substantial segment of their party is composed of nutjobs like the ones protesting (and making fools of themselves) in NYC. Hopefully they can draw the appropriate conclusion.

Yes, people who witness the wackos walking the streets of NY are turned off by their ugly behavior, but if you read the Wash Post or NY Slime, you're told that they're ordinary people, families, students...concerned citizen.

Even a peaceful demonstration with a lot of participants --- which could be called a "successful" demonstration --- is good for Bush.

What's more interesting, a bunch of boring democrat speeches in Boston (with a few hundred demonstrators locked in a razer-wire pen outside), or the great speeches we're hearing from the republicans with a backdrop of a lively street-scene in NY?

Which is going to get a larger TV audience?

Thank the demonstrators --- whether they behave well or not. They are boosting our ratings.

Baby Carriages!

If there was an intent to be peaceful, there would be babies, and baby carriages. So, it's a given as to where this is going.

You mean the mushy middle doesnt stand with this?

Kerry's goon squad

I remember a scene in the movie green card. Where andie Mcdowell was showing Gerard De pardu pictures of a protest she was in during college. "What were you protesting ? he asked.....

Andie" Oh I don't remember.

That was very impactful to me. This is about their own self indulgence. A way of showing their secular piety. Nothing more. They need a way to display "their faith" that is done by doing these sort of protests so they can brag that they protested something in the world.

Notice they don't do this in a country where it is a crime against the state? Let's say North Korea, Where were they when saddam was in power? Or were the feminists out in afganistan when the taliban were in power protesting their regime? Yeah Brave souls this lot. You have guys dying for their rights to do this but will they risk any real threat? Hell know they have a lesbian french literature paper due on wednesday.
