And this can work on many levels. Obviously on a large scale like this article mentions..... or just a conservative college kid who can't keep a Bush/Cheney 04 sign on his dormitory door because he's so outnumbered by slick Kedwards supporters! (This happened to my son yesterday)
Good. I wish I'd been there - I can't throw much of a punch, but when 200 lbs. of p*ssed-off Jew lands on you, you notice it.
What about the thuggery committed against Sinclair Broadcasting?

Exactly. It's happening on every level, from cultural to individual. And it's going to take strength and sticking together to fight it.
Does anybody think that the screaming raving lunatic show that O'Donnell put on against John O'Neill last night was anything but mass intimidation? He might not have succeeded in intimidating O'Neill, but how many conservatives and pro-military, anti-Kerry viewers could be intimidated by that, even unconsciously? Maybe more than we like to think. And O'Donnell will go totally scot-free from payback for that, because there's no one holding him accountable for it.
These are only a few of many incidents, including bullets through the window, theft of laptop computers, beating up precinct workers, closing down of theaters trying to show "Stolen Honor," and the like. I've seen more than a dozen such incidents posted here, and I'm sure there are many more that the MSM have managed to ignore even locally.

First we have to make sure they lose. Worry about the aftermath later.
If the leftists and union thugs can get away with this at voting places in Florida, imagine what they will pull in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. We'd better start preparing for that.
Oh yes, I know that. It took long enough to link those 4 very recent ones. Link some more if you want......it's sickening, isn't it.
I may be getting cynical and grumpy in my old age...but part of me hopes the left does pick a fight.
The waiting is killing me ;-)
If they go completely nuts, they can kiss many more elections goodbye!

Stealing or damaging property is a less serious crime than creating an atmosphere of fear in the political discourse.
Imagine what they'll do to us if they win.
After what happened to Gore, the Kerry team has prepared extensively for a close election with recounts, disputed ballots, electronic machines, and voter disenfranchisement. Check it out:
Sen. John Kerry, bracing for a potential fight over election results, will not hesitate to declare victory Nov. 2 and defend it, advisers say. He also will be prepared to name a national security team before knowing whether he's secured the presidency.
Six so-called "SWAT teams" of lawyers and political operatives will be situated around the country with fueled-up jets awaiting Kerry's orders to speed to a battleground state. The teams have been told to be ready to fly on the evening of the election to begin mounting legal and political fights. Every battleground state will have a SWAT team within an hour of its borders.
The Kerry campaign has recount office space in every battleground state, with plans so detailed they include the number of staplers and coffee machines needed to mount legal challenges. (!)
"Right now, we have 10,000 lawyers out in the battleground states on Election Day, and that number is growing by the day," said Michael Whouley, a Kerry confidant who is running election operations at the Democratic National Committee.
On Election Day, Whouley will head the so-called "boiler room," probably in Washington, that tracks vote counts and ensures Kerry doesn't concede too soon. Whouley was the aide who, after noticing Florida was too close to call in 2000, called Gore's team in Tennessee and told them to put the brakes on the concession speech.
Anyone who thinks a pie in Ms. Coulter's face is funny is a simple minded simian. Let us hope the lemmings
awaken before Nov. 2.
CJ, you're obsessed by libertarians. I do suggest that you do NOT put words in the mouths of libertarians and misrepresent what libertarians stand for. The foundation of libertarian philosophy is the rejection of the use of agressive force, such as assaulting people with pies. Tell the truth or shut up!
