I think terrorizing someone's family at their home is a poor way to get the public's backing on an issue unless you're only trying to get the backing of more fanatical, partisan loons.

Personally I think it's a horrible thing to do.

Why should the protest target's neighbors have to put up with you chanting slogans on the sidewalk outside? Ask yourself that. Also ask yourself how you would feel if one of your neighbors was a target.

I would say NO, no matter who it is, unfortunately there are laws protecting the rights of those that stoop that low.

They steal your money, rob you of your rights and you want to know what is fair? Go to their house and yell at them at the top of your lungs. Don't be complacent. That's what they want.

If my neighbor was Pelosi or McCain I would be out protesting them on the sidewalk too.

Absolutely not okay.

Nothing good can come from it.

Why do people place themselves in this position?

Sick, twisted liberal/progressive tactics.

Damn casper.

It's the 1st thing that I've ever agreed with you on.

Except for the "unfortunately" part.

Which of our founding fathers would be against it?
Probably none, and most likely they'd be ashamed at any American that felt you need to be "kind and fair" in all types of politics.
