Remember, this is france. The tear gas they fire is probably no more effective than the collective B.O. of the protesters....

Nice to see the leftists following their usual playbook: When they don't get their way, whine and cry and destroy other peoples' property.

I think we're going to be seeing a lot of this over the next couple of years, as socialism starts to completely collapse across Europe.

Now, if it will only start 'collapsing' here---starting with the 58 Socialists in the House.

Jospin announced on Sunday that he would quit politics after the May 5 runoff round, which polling institutes now forecast Chirac, a conservative, will win by a landslide.

Not really up on politics in France....Is Chirac really a conservative? And Le Pen an anti-Semite? Or does the French Press, like ours, ignore the facts?

Chirac is the conservative candidate. Of course Stalin could run under the moderate banner in France.

This display by the Marxist enemies within will only strengthen Le Pen, the "law and order" candidate.

It's a shame this is happening. But these demonstrators are typical of why guys like Le Pen get into power. They keep electing fringe left buttholes so eventually the remaining conservatives get so sick of being marginalized that they go out and vote for the most rabidly right conservative they can find. Almost a death blow really. Either they connect and the socialists back off or facism (either left or right) takes root.

Damn Europeans, nothing but a bunch of ungrateful troublemakers.

Leftists are the scum of the earth.
