7. Global AIDS activists. He mentioned they've been coming to
his rallies and they should instead be protesting the GOP who doesn't support Global AIDS (I'm paraphrasing).

12. I understand that people are impassioned by their beliefs and give them credit
for caring enough to ACT, but I think demonstrations like this don't endear them or their cause to anyone else other than other activists. Doesn't help their cause (regardless of the issue). Just IMO.

17. +1000000. There's other ways to get their message across.

Or do they think Gandhi did this type of protesting?

Maybe this is the new and fashionable way to do civil disobedience: disrespect your allies and make them mad. After all, screw how the allies feel. Allies don't matter.

18. They were AIDS activists. Good cause, ruined by assholes.
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 05:34 PM by Phx_Dem
Why does anyone think heckling helps their cause? I doesn't. It just makes you look like rude assholes.
