Sometimes rhetoric gets out of hand. We all know this. There is a difference between disagreeing with someone and villainizing them as Hitler 2.0. So when you paint the President as a monster causing the death of innocents, and the media as his Goebbels, are you inciting violent reaction? Sometimes, apparently so.
I shot the shocking video below myself. I have not editing the foul language so please be warned: not safe for young ears.
Like me, you’ve been hearing about an angry mob. Well it exists. Watch this, then read on for important eyewitness details.
That violent mob was, as you no doubt guessed during my transparent buildup, from the left. I filmed this attack on Griff Jenkins and Fox News at the Recreate 68/World Can’t Wait riots protests in Denver during the Democrats’ coronation convention last fall. If you want to hear something even more vile, which I filmed at a protest outside the RNC, click here. Please understand, though, I did not edit the profanity or vulgarity, which are shocking and abundant.
Also in that Denver protest, and in those at the RNC, were ample depictions of Bush as Hitler. For those of you with short memory (media), back then the comparison was so commonplace it became abbreviated: Bushitler. Don’t remember any of that? Allow me to assist you.
But that’s cool. Because remember, in 2006, shouting and interrupting town halls was teh hip. It really didn’t drop out of fashion until … well, you know, he won.
Anyway, for all you KosKids (I’m looking at you Boxer) and mainstream media talking heads out there who so recently grew a sense of propriety … we’ll just call this a reminder. You have my permission to think about that Fox crew the next time you’re calling old people given microphones at events designed to solicit their feedback an “angry mob”. K? You’re welcome.
And they have the gall to call US the mob?!
jdaman Sunday, August 16th at 3:05PM EDT (link)The usual Democrat stuff, you are fine and an upstanding person if you are protesting Bush, but if you protest The One, you are a mobster or you are Astroturf. The problem is, I think some of them are so crazy that they actually believe their own stuff.
Blind justice is harsh, and it is the highest form of Justice.

Why Haven't Hannity, O'Reilly or Beck
daezy Wednesday, August 19th at 1:55PM EDT (link)covered this? It really surprises me, cause I thought they would RUN with this. It is so typical of Lib Fever, and then some.
I put it on my blog, too, and felt bad for these guys — it didn’t look pretty, but then do you expect any less from THUGS?!?
P.S. I sent an email to Hannity about this with a link. Hope he sees it.

americanmale Sunday, August 16th at 3:43PM EDT (link)That video literally depicts an attack on freedom of the press; a distinct violation of the 1st amendment to our constitution. Oh my god, Jefferson is rolling in his grave.

Sorry, americanmale, but no First Admendmenrt violation!
longwalker Sunday, August 16th at 8:22PM EDT (link)The First Admendment, when enacted, only applied to the Federal Government. The Supreme Court, citing the Fourteenth Admendment, then imposed it on all levels of government. However, it still only applies to government action. Private parties are not covered by the First Admendment so the actions of those protestors cannot be considered a violation of the First Admendment.

OK, Just a question though...
americanmale Monday, August 17th at 3:17PM EDT (link)If they were there as members of a registered political action committee, would that then trigger the 1st amendment? ie Does a PAC (and it’s membership) have any responsibilities under the provision?
Honest question to a former judge.

A very late response - sorry!
longwalker Saturday, August 22nd at 11:02AM EDT (link)Americanmale : I have been busy so I didnot see your comment until today. a registeredpolitical action committe is not government. Neither is a PAC. Technically, they are citizen groups with all the privileges of citizens under the First Admendment not governmental organizations restricted by the First Admendment.

And who can forget the peaceful leftists at the Republican convention
ColdWarrior Sunday, August 16th at 4:48PM EDT (link)YouTube is filled with videos like these two, where the leftists gloat over how they attacked the police and destroyed property:
I especially liked the part at the end of the second video when the “peaceful” “anti-war” vandals, er “protesters,” showed just how compassinate and patriotic they were by smashing a store window displaying the American flag.
Thank you.

They deserved to be attacked.
Jeez, pay attention will you?

1stRichard Monday, August 17th at 8:49AM EDT (link)I am planning a tea party standout in liberal La-La Land Headquarters next week, yes Northampton MA. I was hoping it would be peaceful but now I have my doubts. However I am seeing some discontent in happy land that may be good. The town just passed another tax increase again and it has many upset and sad. Northampton has a population of about 28,411 not including transients but has a cash flow of about $98,050,045.00 a year and they’re broke.
I hope it will be more peaceful then what I see here
