Have you ever--ever--participated in a FreeRepublic protest at a major event? Apparently you haven't ever been on the front lines, because if you had, you'd know that dozens of conflicting groups show up to these things, each with its own agenda. There is no way that you can shove all these protesters into the same ideological pigeonhole.

Maybe you can ask Byron what he supports before you lump him in with Palestinians and anarchists. There are plenty of conservatives on this website who are against global free trade (although I myself am a free-trader).

There is no way that you can shove all these protesters into the same ideological pigeonhole.

I think it's safe to say that all involved in the protest (not the counter-protest) are being led by socialist or, to a lesser degree, anarchist groups. It may also be safe to say that none of the participants believe that gun control or abortion is evil.
