Tancredo Protestors Turn Violent *EDITED*

Re: So Typical of the so-called people of tolerance and peace.

So they can't be independents? I wasn't saying that immigrants were protesting in this situation; rather, I was saying that this would be the type of issue that immigrants could protest.

Exactly what I'm talking about.

The Republicans are saying if a member of a group, such as Students for Economic Justice, By Any Means Necessary, La Raza and MEXA does something and liberal/democrats don't hold a press conference and condemn their actions, then conservative/Republicans can ascertain their actions to be acceptable by ALL liberal/democrats.
Do you think very many of mainstream liberal/democrats are even aware that any incident even occurred?

Billo_Really said "since it is obvious I am a liberal... <snip>...the group that tried to stop his speech should be arrested and charged with disturbing the peace. As well as a few assault charges it looks like."
I am liberal and I agree, so to try to tie actions such as this to ALL liberal/democrats is ludicrous, but it is the Republicans MO.


Republican propaganda.
If anything happens that conservative deem unacceptable, it must be liberal.
Liberal=Bad
Rinse and repeat!!


As to this particular incident. Participants may very well be liberals or they may be independent or they may have no political affiliation what so ever. They just might be some who don't like Tancredo's immigration views.


Point is____The OP started this thread to try to tie this incident to liberal/democrats in general, to further propagate the illusion that liberal=bad.

Re: So Typical of the so-called people of tolerance and peace.

Any particular reason you think conservatives or non-liberals would protest this event? I'm not saying they are liberals, I said it was a safe bet to believe they were liberals. I, again, am also responding to both the OP and subsequent posters claiming this in order to refute the point that this is the way all liberals behave.

This is where reasonable logic comes in I think. I can't think of any reason that more than an isolated very few Conservatives would protest Tancredo's appearance; certainly it is unlikely that a sizable group of protesting Conservatives would show up there.

I wonder if the liberals among us would not think it reasonable to suppose that a large protest at a Hillary Clinton speech would not be composed of mostly conservatives?
 
The last sentence in the previous post should read:
I wonder if the liberals among us would not think it reasonable to suppose that a large protest at a Hillary Clinton speech would be composed of mostly conservatives? (Proofreading one's own work is not my best thing.)

I agree. This is the type of reasonable logic I used to come to my conclusion. Thanks for further clarifying, AlbqOwl.
 
Re: So Typical of the so-called people of tolerance and peace.

Yup because these kids were lynching republican students right and left and beating republicans to death in the streets of Michigan like the klan did in the southern states.
Ah, so it's how much of thier civil rights got violated, is that it? A little bit of censorship by violence is OK as long as no one gets lynched? As long as you leave them alive, you can slide a little on the civil rights issue?

No - I said that because he tried to compare the KKK to a few disgrunteled students. I never said that what these students did was right(it wasnt) but comparing them to KKK is ridiculous.

No violating peoples civil rights all over the country is not a ridiculous comparison, the Klan and Nazi's used the same exact tactics of beatings and shout downs as these left wing radicals are using now.

Should we be waiting until it approaches that level of violent oppression before we start dealing with it or should we be throwing each and every one of these idiots in jail for a very long time and send out a message that civil rights are sacred? Read back through the posts by the leftists here and you'll see a strong trend towards minimizing this incident, instead of treating it as a violation of people's Constitutionally guaranteed rights.
