From bad to worse...9-12 protestors.

[Archae]

What was bad about the 9-12 protest yesterday, a lot of the news media went out looking for the kooks and racists in the crowds.

What was worse, they found them quite easily, and often. :-(

1. That just puts people off of Republicans even more...

the media does us a favor by seeking out the kooks.

2. What scares me is they look like people I see all the time

They don't look deranged or stupid. They look like your typical white middle class American who you see everywhere. They've changed my perception and that really bothers me for some reason. I used to wait to hear stupid people say stupid things before getting turned off or suspicious. Now I see these people and wonder if their stupid.

And I wonder if people look at me that way now, and that really bothers me.

3. they didn't have to look very hard or far, did they?

IMO - 99.99% of them were "kooks & racists". The rest were just stupid.
