A CNN report on the anti-GOP protests contains this gem:

At least 5,000 protesters stood on sidewalks Wednesday morning in a 3-mile line, waving pinks slips to highlight their dissatisfaction with the economy. The demonstration, which stretched from Wall Street to Madison Square Garden, formed a symbolic unemployment line for about 15 minutes to draw attention to the 8.2 million Americans unemployed as of July.


A "symbolic unemployment line"--you've got to love it. As we noted Tuesday, if these people actually were to look for work, the unemployment rate would rise, presumably hurting President Bush's re-election prospects. Bush is lucky his opponents are so lazy.

I'm posting my question rather than using e-mail because I don't think I'm the only one wondering about this:

New LOWS and TRUE FACE of Republicans

message #: 3858.10 in response to 3858.1

from: cl-wrhen

to: iv_mysticdreamer

date: Sep-2 12:26 am



If one radical wacko could represent the TRUE FACE an an entire party, Kerry's goons would have you bound, gagged, and on ice until after the election.

I reported this post, it's worse than anything mysticdreamer posted (but not as bad as another that renee posted). This post hasn't even been deleted, the double standard here seems glaring. Does Renee delete and read all the posts herself? This would explain a lot.

I have give as much respect and dignity to protesters as they deserve.


This group has earned the descriptors of monkeys & clowns & a few others as well, such as ignorant.

09-02 10:25: Reuters reports that there have been at least 1,760 arrests so far, the bulk of them on Tuesday when over 1,000 protesters were taken into custody. http://ratherbiased.com/news/content/view/191/2/


U.S. Rep. Major Owens, a New York Democrat, warned a crowd of feminist protesters that the Bush administration is taking America "into a snake pit of fascism."

Owens also said the Bush administration "spits on democracy" and is leading the country down a path reminiscent of "Nazi Germany."

Feminists Compare Bush's 2000 Election Victory to 'Savage Rape' http://www.cnsnews.com//ViewNation.asp?Page=\Nation\archive\200409\NAT20040902b.html


A featured performer at a National Organization for Women rally accused President Bush of having "savagely raped " women "over and over" by allegedly stealing the 2000 presidential election.

Poet Molly Birnbaum read aloud to a crowd of feminists gathered in New York's Central Park on Wednesday night, as part of a NOW event dubbed "Code Red: Stop the Bush Agenda Rally."

"Imagine a way to erase that night four years ago when you (President Bush) savagely raped every pandemic woman over and over with each vote you got, a thrust with each state you stole," Birnbaum said from the podium. (If something is pandemic, it affects many people or a number of countries.)

"A smack with each bill you passed, a tear with each right you took until you left me disenfranchised with hands shackled and voice restrained. Thanks for that night, Mr. President, I can barely remember my tomorrows," Birnbaum said to applause.

Birnbaum's reading was followed by a performance by Gina Young, described as a singer of "feminist folk punk." Young's song included the following verse about Bush:

"I got better grades than you, you stupid boy W. Your dad was a killer, too, and you know that nobody voted for you," Young sang as the crowd erupted in applause.

"I object not just to this war, but to all of the things that you stand for, like dropping bombs to lower the price of gas. I guess the Constitution is just some piece of scrap paper you use to wipe you're a**, you bastard," Young sang to more applause.

The merely rude & crude who are talking to themselves

Half a million people marching in the streets of NYC peacefully protesting Bush's actions over the past four years is unsettling for Bush's backers.

Now this I don't understand. Pat said, "The threads that were 'for one party' - all others 'keep out' have been closed. The purpose of a 'debate' being to provide opportunity for both sides to speak." Guess who started the original "for one party - all others keep out" threads. Answer: Cl-wrhen. Ironic, isn't it? I have a question. If one who is not a cl were to continue to use the "effing" or "effin" would they be guilty of violating TOS because it obviously means--well, you know what it means. Is any foul language fair if disguised in such a manner?

Whren, you're loosing it. The pictures you linked to (over and over and over) were of an entirely different march. You called the protestors in the Unemployment Line protest, organized by People for the American Way, "clowns" and "monkeys." HERE ARE THE PICTURES YOU SHOULD HAVE POSTED:

http://www.imagine04.org/line.htm

And here's another picture at the People for the American Way site:

http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=16746

And here's a description of the "mayhem" that ensued:

"In the Wall Street area, traders joined the line, and in a mid-town park police officers did the same. Participants standing in the line were greeted with cheers and thumbs-up from pedestrians and honks from passing cars and trucks. As the 18 minute-long event concluded, a roar of applause traveled up and down the line. The actual pink slips themselves are now appearing all over Manhattan: on car dashboards, in store windows and even taped to a hot dog cart. "

I responded to a post & a thread that is nothing but insults. There was no attempt to discuss the issues. I am trying to point out there is no reason to insult people who are exercising their right to free speech, a basic part of our system. There is no reason to assume all protesters are unemployed, and certianly no reason to call them all lazy.

I don't consider my responses on this thread "off-topic". If anything, the thread is inappropriate.


< If these off-topic discussions continue on the board, they will be deleted by the moderator as well, because she has made it clear that this sort of discussion and other such board disruptions will not be allowed here. In case you missed these threads the moderator started, here are the links:>

"Remember...numbers don't lie - unless they're compiled by the Bush administration."

Or The New York Times, that unabashedly unbiased bastion of journalism single-handedly responsible for launching Jayson Blair's stellar career. Thanks for the laugh.
