Hate in Orange County

I saw (Republican) in the video screenshot and knew that Flash was either going to defend the people or argue that Democrats are worse. It never, ever fails.

 

Do they not have the right to protest? Just like liberals protest because they have the right to do so as well. Whether I agree or disagree with them is irrelevant.

 

/For the record, the people in that video are morons but they have every right to protest like that.

Interesting take on the organization they were protesting against:

Many in the protest crowd said they were concerned about some of ICNA’s past associations, including ties to terrorism previously proved by the FBI and reported anti-Semitism. Yehudit Barsky, a noted expert on terrorism, has previously described ICNA as being “composed of members of Jamaat e-Islami, a Pakistani Islamic radical organization similar to the Muslim Brotherhood that helped to establish the Taliban.” In 1997, ICNA held a conference at Maulana Shafayet Mohamed’s Florida-based fundamentalist madrassa (religious school), which actually served as a recruitment center for Taliban fighters.

Well, technically the Westboro Baptist Church also "has the right" to protest the funerals of soldiers, protest the funerals of other good, innocent people, stand school parking lots and call innocent kids Satan-loving [expletive]gots, etc. Doesn't make it right or acceptable.

I didn't defend anyone. I just said that they have a right to protest like that.

 

Yes, and the WBC has every right to protest funerals. But if the word Republican wasn't involved, maybe you'd have commented on the venom involved in the video rather than deflecting blame and downplaying the incorrectness of some of your fellow party members.

Did you not catch the post where I said the people in that video are idiots? Of course you didn't.

 

Yes, I saw you say that after I called you on the Republican defense mechanism bullshit. I saw your initial post say nothing but "they have the right to do that". In whose mind is that your first reaction?

It had nothing to do with party affiliation, but go ahead and assume it did. Why don't you go read the article I posted the link to. Maybe those people were on to something?

agreed; the protesters are arrogant, ignorant pricks (like a lot of Americans), but the first amendment protects their right to protest.

And Heat defense responses have nothing to do with Heat fanhood, I get it.

 

Figures you'd dig up a link further defending these people and their actions, you are such a treasure. I love you. :wub:
