These wouldn't be the ones who happen to commit all those violent crimes I listed, would they?

No, I'm talking about the people in the article.

This is just like the big lie lefties tell about drug offenders

That is off topic. If you want to discuss the WoD, I'll be glad to in an appropriate thread. This thread is about free speech and free assembly.

can you give us a SPECIFIC EXAMPLE of a protester who had no prior record, did not engage in any violent act, did not resist arrest, did not urinate or defecate in the middle of the street, etc., who spent more time in jail than most convicted murderers?

I suppose after their trial I could use the protesters in the article, but I hope I won't be able to.

yet somehow the modern lefty protester never absorbed this message. To this nano-second, they don't understand how dearly their willingly and gleefully honed public image as half-naked, drug-addled, violent perverts and lunatics has cost them in the voting booth -- especially over the last 4 years.

Agreed. The bad press by their bad apples gives them nothing but bad press and causes their message to be lost or associated with violence.

you've never seen anything of the kind at Democratic Underground or MoveOn.Org or Michael Moore's website? Please! Multiply the worst of what you find here by a hundred and that's your typical lefty web forum.

Yes I have. I think its disgraceful and hypocritical. And VERY shameful that posters here behave the same way. We're supposed to be better than that.

Apparently we're talking past each other. I was talking specifically about leftist protesters, apparently you are limiting these comments only to the Christian protesters in this particular case?

Maybe their message wouldn't be lost and they wouldn't be so closely associated with these whack-jobs if they didn't make such an effort to BE associated with them -- by so publicly, consistently, and zealously defending them like ambulance chasers and portraying them as helpless victims in public.

By and large we ARE better than that, A LOT better. If you get thousands of people of any stripe together, it is unrealistic to say the very least to expect that there won't be some who won't be cyber-bomb throwers.

The difference is that in HERE, there are plenty of people like you and me who will tell them to knock it off. At DU and MoveOn and other places, their hatred of people like us is so fanatical that such comments about us are not frowned upon but egged on with a lynch-mob mentality. We're the evil ones so there is nothing bad that shouldn't happen to us.
