Thread Name: BS: Police state in Minneapolis-protest bus seized
Subject: RE: BS: Police state in Minneapolis
Obama supporter's true view of free speech- from the above NYT article:

"In one of the most chaotic moments, members of the Republican delegation from Connecticut said they were shoved and spat upon by protesters near the convention hall, according to the state party's executive director, Heath Fahle. He wrote an item on the party's blog describing a "human chain" of protesters who tried to block Republicans at a security perimeter near the convention site. Besides the shoving and spitting, the protesters shouted epithets at the dozens of delegates, Mr. Fahle wrote. "


Glad to see that you, Amos, are proud of behaviour so like the Brownshirts. I guess it is ok, since they are just saying the same thing that you are.


Amos: "This really does not speak well for the reputation of the GOP."

The GOP did not do any of this to the Democratic Convention- this is an example of how Obama can lose the respect of those in the middle that he needs to win the election. Waiting for him ( or even his supporters) to come down hard on these people...

This really does not speak well for the reputation of the Left, in general. You blame the Republicans for the police actions, so don;t try to tell me that these people are not encouraged and supported by those of you supporting Obama.
