Protesters say they don't have much choice.

"Nothing else gets attention," protestor Johannah Westmacott told the Associated Press. "It's not news when people voice their opinions."

Do you suppose that's because THEY DON'T AGREE WITH YOU, YOU IMBECILES!

Whoops, the title got cut off. Notice the mention of the Free Republic Network.

Let's see... Taxpayers who commute and work are delayed and harassed by non-functional traitors, half of whom are on phony disablity. Do you think the commuters would take a dim view of these democrats?

Lynch said many groups encourage activists to stay within the bounds of the law, because "there is a point to be made where you don't want to alienate your allies." But "there are situations as to where civil disobedience is called for."

I agree. Other types of disobediance involves baseball bats and tear gas and brake failures, of which I also approve in these situations.

Demonstrate all you want. Get petitions, buy billboards for all I care. But economically sabotaging the "Ignorant unenlightened worker bees" (Who pay for these idle masturbators' Public Defenders and "Room And Board") deserves intervention by the Public.

Hey Scott....Consume This!!

Nobody has a right to force me as a motorist to become part of their protest by blocking the road on which I am driving. I don't care what the subject of a demonstration is, even if I agree with the demonstrators -- Anyone who blocks traffic should be run over by at least one vehicle just for being a pain in the @ss.

The only thing that's going to stop these things is for the people to just keep driving. The first car should just inch forward until the protestor moves and then everyone can just keep going.

Another thing that would help is to take a bag of ripe garbage with you. If enough people started throwing garbage on these folks maybe they'd get the message.

That's a point I didn't get to when I was on Fox & Friends the other day -- that the belligerent tactics of the leftists aren't winning the hearts and minds of the citizenry. A recent Fox News poll said that 63% of the public views the anti-war protestors unfavorably. Also, when a peace riot appears on the TV, huge numbers of viewers reach for the remote. As the leftists become increasingly frustrated at their own ineffectiveness and lack of support, expect more violence and more extremist tactics, which in turn will further marginalize them in the eyes of reasonable people.

"We're starting to see quite a bit of it on the streets," Scott Swett, chairman of the Free Republic Network, told Fox News. "People are interested in taking a stand and having their voices heard..."

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good, too...

...but he also called the "anti-war" protests "Peace RIOTS!"

THAT was a classic, Scott!!!
