re: #104 Obdicut

The ‘violence’ has been pretty minor.

And hardly evidence of any systemic “left-wing violence”, I might add.

The biggest example of ‘lefty’ rallies that we’ve had were the anti-war marches, which were vastly, vastly, vastly larger than these Occupy protests.

Other examples are stuff like the gay rights marches, the pro-immigrant marches, etc. The Wisconsin rallies were far larger than these.

Good points. But somehow, now “the Left” has been delegitimized, apparently.

These protests are not by the mainstream left. The Tea Party types really are the mainstream right these days.

Some people here want the MBF to be true really, really bad. I think they want their own disappointment with the Right going of the cliff the last couple years to be mirrored on the Left.

I’m going to be heading down there today to do some on the spot polling; unscientific, ad-hoc, but hopefully in some way illuminating.

I appreciate your work. Spread some love!
