They should be worried, there is momentum to these protests.

You are comparing Tea Party gatherings to the vile crap leftist groups are doing via BLM, Occupy Wall Street, Black Bloc, Antifa, etc.

When leftist mobs riot to stop intelligent discussion/debate to occur, and they celebrate when the speaker pulls out, that is mob rule.
But lets hear how you'd characterize such behavior?

We were speaking about the people protesting the supreme court selection, and the republicans claims of mob rule. Antifa and others are fringe groups and I don't believe that is what they were speaking to when they claimed the protestors were a mob, they purposely exaggerated.


Its wrong for any group to halt discussion, those protestors were rightfully removed, Those were the same actions taken by the Tea Part but no one characterized them as a mob, those were mostly small town meetings that were completely shut down. Both were wrong but in this case the protestors were peaceful for the most part and done outside in the mall.

How?

It's easy to say "wrong" when you haven't a clue why, but "just because".

I agree with the premise because is so GOD DAMN obvious to the rest of s. However, I have an open mind, unlike the progressives.

PLEASE, textplain how, exactly, ringwise was wrong.

HONESTLY... please point us to a violent right protest. I would love to say "that's horrible!"




YOU are what you defend. If you defend violence, incivility, ignorance.... you are all of those.


Going low... makes you a low life.

in the past couple years, I have become downright scare of a liberal demonstration. down right scared that somebody going get hurt, windows going get broken and a police car burned. I would stay as far away as I could. Do you think liberals want people to hide from their demonstrations?

Screaming at each other from the protection of angry screaming mobs around us is really not going to solve any issues. Both sides need a two week vacation, time to write down their thoughts, and the we can all sit at a conference table somewhere and hash it out.

BOTH sides?


There is only one screaming, out of control, angry for years, mob!


Obama... thank you
He, after all, was the actual divider in chief. He is going on the "defense of myself tour" and being so un-Presidential. Seriously, no President has ever been such a low life.

No, if you've been to a rally for just about any "cause" out there, there will always be opposing sides screaming at each other..

Sounds like you are speaking about Antifa, not liberals in general, where do you live?
The FBI and LE needs to do a better job taking out Antifa but you are generalizing with your comments.

Honestly, what is it you hope to do here?



Sorry, I was too busy gather signatures to pass the Air Quality Proposition here in California... you know, doing something responsible, rather than yelling and screaming. We got that passed, BTW!

I guess I'm one of the few snowballs, rather than a snowflake.

I used to be a Dem. They abandoned me, so I've returned the favor. I can't be a member of the CRAZY party any longer.






TELL US... do you believe ANTIFA is actually anti-fascist?
