14. Remember, John Kasich (R-Ohio Gov) called the "piggies" "IDIOTS"
and I just heard yesterday, the guy identified as the "idiot" who pulled over Kasich before he was Guv ACTUALLY VOTED FOR THE A**HOLE ...

I guess that some people do learn, eventually ... he is against Issue 2 in Ohio now ...

9. Is this thread about communism?
Did anyone but you even mention communism?
Do you think our only two choices are Corporatism and Communism?

21. "Corporatism", you know, unregulated capitalism.
The system we are living under where the corporations have come to control our democratic process. For example: A system where the government enacts free trade laws against the wishes of a large majority of the citizens.

7. The results of a 1%er tool riot
It won't be the last one I bet.

Oh well when the policeman get fired because there is no tax base left to support his job, maybe then he will see the light, eh?

15. watch this pic be used as more propaganda against "the looney left" ...
without the point made that flash grenades and tear gas was used (despite the evidence, righties and the "liberally-biased media" are saying the cops didn't use any) ... kinda hard to clean up after yourselves when you're choking and gasping for breath ...

18. They really can't deny the flash grenades and tear gas
when so much video exists. They were totally out of control.

23. why can't they deny it, despite the video evidence?
I mean, they took the ACORN video at face value, despite the fact that it was heavily edited and no audio ...

of course, with today's "liberally-biased media", they also ran with the one of the black woman saying she wanted so much to deny the white guy the farmer help or whatever ... (despite the fact that they took ONLY that part, and ignored, until way too late, the part where she gave up her anger at "whitey" and showed the compassion conservatives don't ...)

22. One would think they would error on the side of
preserving democracy. I mean shouldn't that be the top priority?

What is a bit of litter in a scheme of things? It can always be cleaned up after democracy has had its day.
