When the Left Went Teabagging: As You Chuckle at the Right's Newfound Activism, Don't Forget That the Left Sucked Balls for Years


Angry dude, you need to improve your reading comprehension skills. You made up a whole mess of stuff that's inconsistent with what I wrote. I'll try to change it up to maybe get past your rage:



1.) Protests like the tea baggers and kkk pull off, and like some of the others that have gone off whose intention was to spew hatred, racism, bigotry in order to bring a confrontation or to just plain spew in the most loud way possible, are NOT productive.



2.) People who protest in this fashion, who block traffic on busy streets to otherwise make life miserable for "innocent" bystanders are making enemies - NOT improving awareness of an issue, regardless of the "rightness" of the protester position.



3.) Protesters may feel powerful when being noisy, but they are relinquishing power when they are abusing others in the process of trying to make a point. Poking someone in the eye to make them pay attention to what you have to say doesn't fly.



4.) These teabaggers contrast with the WTO protesters because the Seattle protesters were peaceful. It was the police that turned ugly - just like in the civil rights marches. Those protests inspired because they clearly showed what and who the problem was.



5.) If you can't deal with the fact that these highly counter- and unproductive activities are a bad choice, that's YOUR problem, not mine. I'm reporting the news here, not making it.



Now go flame someone else.
