Freeps comparing WI to Kent State
Edited on Thu Mar-10-11 12:49 AM by madmax
Note: 'one or two dead.' I guess a small number of American civilians killed by our own National Gaurd is acceptable. Mabye 5 or 6 not so much.

'To: Brown Deer
So why aren’t these idiots that broke in, being arrested?
These thugs are just itching to be "martyrs" for the cause. Don't play into their hands.
----------------
This is how it went in the 60's> The thugs would occupy a government building and the media cameras were more than happy to show them being dragged out by the evil police. The media made every flmed arrest a win for the left finally culminating in Kent State where one or two were killed. After that the battle for the minds of the American people was over and the left won.

This time we just need to permit these people to show their thuggery for all to see.

2. Poor dumb-ass freepers.
The protesters aren't being arrested because the cops support what they are doing. Some of the protesters are cops.

Wake up freepers! :rofl:

14. Freepers are cheering the erosion of their own rights & living standards
and clapping their billionaire puppetmasters on the back, while they continue to ASSUME THE POSITION as the docile Suckers they are for corporate propaganda.

What pitiful excuses they are == Faux Patriots, getting their thoughts from Faux News and a $40 million a year draft dodging pill popping gasbag.

6. I go for the comedy - the reference to Kent State
just pissed me off. I lived through the 60's.

Some posts are fascinating in that they're just so insane.

:hi:

18. More than a few of these freepbags were likely part of the "Silent Majority" in the 60s.
The ones that cheered the National Guard for using live rounds on those kids.

9. For many of them from what read love to play
arm chair warrior. It's easy to strap one on and attend a teabag rally. Joining up and getting bloody - meh.

Everything Shiller said, from NPR can be attested to what one reads on FR. It's all there.

10. "one or two were killed..."
It was four, asswipe. And if it had been Teabaggers you would have claimed it was "hundreds"...

20. Heard it? It's their anthem. You only had to be around here during
the Andy Stephenson fund raiser to realize how venal and pathetic that bunch is.

13. You have the right to own assault rifles
You have the right to join RW militias
but you have no right to collective bargaining. WTF is going on?

15. How is protesting "thuggery?"
I see right-wingers using that term all the time. Is it "thuggery" when the Tea Party gathers in an area and yells at everyone, stomps on women's heads, threatens to kill the president, brings guns to a protest, and refuses to apologize for any of it? Or is it only thuggery when the left protests peacefully, like we've been doing in Wisconsin?

Seriously, the right just needs to find some fucking real estate and secede already. Fuck them sideways - I want a divorce.
