Hippies with signs that say kill Bush is your idea of peace, got it.

Those hippies were carrying signs calling for the death of Bush. Not sure how that qualifies as peaceful signs

I agree here. Those were responsible gun owners. They exercised their rights and did it safely. My hats off to them.

Dont you know they dont care if you are offended? They only care that you dont say something that MIGHT offend someone else.

They are free to insult people that dont agree with them all day long. Heck they will even insult the very people they claim to be supporting.

Notice the group that claims to be so darn understanding and caring about others and tolerant. Are only those things if you agree. Soon as they find out you dont agree they insult you and your suppose to take it.

Don't forget all the effigies of president Bush as Hitler, and Bush hanging by a noose, or even Bush set on fire.

These are some of the same types of people who worship Mao and Che and adore numerous other tyrants and Communist dictators. I'm under no illusions that these people are in any way tolerant, or inclusive.

The only problem with that is that the republicans don't have any normal people left.
