NYC/RNC Protests

If it gets as nutty as it appears it will, will it hurt or help GWB?

It will hurt him for the simple reason that it will take media time away from the actuall convention.

I think it will help GWB.  That is the thing about almost all of the radical leftwing people in this country (Jeanine Garofalo, Michael Moore, etc) is that they want to silence anyone who speaks up for GWB or who opposes their opinions.  Kerry wanting to shut the Swift Boat group down, yet let Moveon.org say whatever they want.  It is becoming all too clear who the real facists in this country are:  The American left.  A few months ago some pro war protesters on college campuses were attacked physically and verbally when they counter demonstrated against anti war protesters.  What about Michael Moore threatening to sue anyone that criticized his movie when it came out?  :rolleyes:  

I read that a strategy for one of these groups that will be protesting will be to follow delegates around town and harass them.  WTF?  That is where freedom of speech encroaches on anothers civil liberties.

Well, Giga I do not think all Liberals believe in censorship. And I personnally don\'t think anything should be censored because of political views.

The protestors at NYC are two groups.

The ones that believe in political change through the system itself.

And then the other groups who do not believe in the current system and want to do something extreme.

And I guess a thrid category of stupid people who might cause violence and actually not have a reason.

You missed the key word radical

If you REALLY think the radical left is worse than the radical right then I don\'t know what to say to you.

Why am I not surprised.  I am talking politics - not skinheads.

So am I.

Obviously not.  I cited my reasons - you give none.  Abortion clinic bombings aside, I don\'t see any on the right censoring their opponents the way the left does.  As a matter of fact the left has had an exclusive policy on violent protests in recent years.  Destroying property and disrupting people\'s lives seems to be their modus operandi.

The Religious Right has history of doing nothing BUT censoring anything that goes against their views. By any means necessary.

They have destroyed more property and disrupted more lives than any leftist group could ever hope to AND they do it all in the name of God.

IMO, Conservatives have held back progress since the beginning of time.

I wont get into the details of what i think, but generally speaking im sure most already know what my stance is.

I need clarification.

Do you really? I would figure that it would be somewhat implied by now just due to my stance on a lot of things.

It is typical from a racist such as Giga.

The protests ended up being non violent, and hundred of thousands were there.  Seems like they did well.  I knew a few people there
