I'm willing to be it is a liberal "pretending" to be a conservative. Why suddenly are all these conservatives starting to do acts of vilolence that have been previously done by liberal protestors?

Luckily, this was a joke post.

My Friend Dave told me it's a progress sign.

The picture of Rosa Parks signifys progress African Americans made here in America.

I guess that guy was offended!!

He was a coward, snatching a sign from a woman!

Especially when she wasn't even displaying it in any kind of public manner.

She has the right to be there and show any sign she wants.

Just like these whiners out here! (Sore Losers)

Perhaps you haven't noticed the other threads in which people have provided visuals of the demonstrations that are occurring outside the town halls before they begin? You might look through those threads or do a search online to see some of the images. Surely someone would be allowed to demonstrate before the town hall and attend it.

And according to your logic, why would someone bring a poster to a town hall and not display it in a public manner, which is what the woman was NOT doing, as the video provided earlier in the thread illustrates.

Is it possible there is a non-racial explanation?

If a white woman sympathetic to healthcare reform had her sign ripped up and escorted out, would the "teabagger" crowd have remained silent?


While I'm not quite sure what Rosa Parks has to do with healthcare reform, was the racist white crowd cheering the ripping up of a the rosa parks sign because they HATE Rosa Parks?

While I will say that the title of the thread is trollish, is racist and serves as nothing but distraction, it is amusing to see the hypocrites in full force condoning the act of ripping apart someone else's freedom of speech.

Rosa Parks is analogous to the tea party grassroots movement.

The above two posts are hilarious. Whenever things get out of hand at these meetings, which conservative people attend to protest the Democrats' health plan(s), the conservatives say that the conservative protesters are acutlly liberals "pretending" to be conservatives. Capiche?

Rhetorical questions.
