I think it's inevitable that the anti-war, anti-American crowd will turn out in full force at next years Republican National Convention.

Let them. I can’t think of a better way to turn the tide.

This isn’t 1967. The left is using tactics from the SDS days.

Hypothetical question:

Could the Republicans sue the protest organizers for infringing on our Rights? While we do recognize their Right to peaceful assembly and protest, when it turns violent is that not an infringement on the rights of Republican citizens? The key here is to sue the groups, not individual protesters. Do they have a responsibility to control their own? And when they fail to do so, are they not liable for the damages and infringements?

mindless bots.

my tv-moron, union neighbor foams at the mouth when she sees bush.

bush in iraq, she tells me one morning. i point out to her that she couldn’t find iraq on a map and knows nothing about the geo-political issues.

no matter. her all-consuming rage against bush holds the morning.

america is full of these people.

That’s the same last friday of each month bicycle crowd you will see in cities across the US. They call themselves Critical Mass. Very hostile pro cyclist greens. Needless to say their politcs are left. AS a cyclist I dislike their tactics, intentionall massing of bikers to shut down traffic.

Thre will be plenty of nutjobs at the convention. I worked the 2004 convention in NYC and the nuts were out every day.

That’s the Left for you. If they don’t get their way, they’ll hold their breath until they turn blue.

If the police don’t arrest these childish authoritarian wannabes, what hope is there for a semi-orderly convention?

Lotsa luck Minneanoplace. Call Scandinavia for backup.

"anarchist group"

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Anarchists should be taken very seriously. They should be the first ones put down when things get ugly.

Throw the Critical Mass bicyclists in jail. They deliberately tried to shut down transporation in a number of cities this week.

They are anarchists and need to be prosecuted as such.

Take off the kid gloves.

Imagine if they pull this crap on election day in Republican heavy voting districts.

Might be a good time to test the military’s new crowd control weapon that heats the skin, but doesn’t leave any lasting damage.

Across the country, similar groups have announced their intention to cause havoc in our cities next year.

... "In New York we saw a professional class of protesters, with an angry, violent mob mentality.

Many of these "protestors" are professionals that are paid to drum up support from the fringes. Many couldn't even tell you what they protest. I faced some of these anarchist unionoids before and it ain't pretty.

I guess it's time to start organizing counter protests.

I hate Minnesota NAZIs. Hit it.

Seriously, why does the GOP pick Blue-Blue cities to have their Conventions in?

I think (without anything restraining them) that the tactics of the left will increaingly turn violent since our society no longer believes in any sense of morality, and if it doesn’t (the average joe)..The ~liberal protester will think they have nothing holding back their personal behavior from becoming violent!~

I’m so sick of those people. Perhaps we should organize a counter demo like they had in the 1960s. Both the Hell’s Angels and a bunch of construction workers took turns showing up at anti-war protests and beating the crap out of the hippies. The new crowd may be more angry but they still all look like little skinney vegitarians. I’m sure a contingent of freepers could deliver the ass whipping they so badly need (obviously most had liberal parents and never felt a switch on the butt in their lives).

Brace yourself. In a few years millions of Americans will line up to elect these people to the U.S. Congress and the Presidency.
