I sympathize with what you say. For the time being I will accept them in the spirit of free speech, but they sure as heck better respect my right to counter their protest.
[previously] (i was in the middle of one of these things in DC a bunch of years ago when it got out of hand.
not only is it not a pretty sight, but the cops on horses don't much care who's head they swing a stick at...)
you've touched on the crux without, perhaps, realizing it.
when a mob of that projected size makes the break to cross the street,
whether one has 'taken bait' or not becomes irrelevant.
it will be at the precise point that an outnumbered patriotic crowd
breaks and runs to avoid violence that the nets will capture it on video and shout
to the heavens what a strong hand the 'peace advocates' have, and how 'nobly'
they routed us 'hectoring hawks'...
given that those of us on the right side of this abomination do not incite a riot,
you can bet your home and every penny you ever expect to earn that the truth
will not be aired, with the possible exception of Fox, by the networks.
it would be quite simply wonderful if the word could get out
sufficiently that between us FReepers and like-minded locals
we would end up outnumbering these scurrilous bastards...
