Liberal Outrage

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Oh give over - noone is "suppressing" anyone's views.

They have the right to have a rally (and they did). Others have the right to heckle them (and they did).

Would you be saying the same thing if this was reversed? Don't even bother saying yes..

This is a concept that even your little brain should be able to comprehend. Then again not really considering you are absolutely guilty of this yourself and have been caught out on many occasions, ie, hypocrisy and double standards.

Liberal Americans beat on and on and on about freedom of speech and its importance yet clearly do not accept this when it comes to others with opposing views. That is a fact. It is evident in this video. It is evident in this forum. To sit here and then play it down as simply being a cry baby is a joke.

I would actually - so "Yes". I don't get bent out of shape about what happens at protests or rallies, short of wholesale rioting.

Again - noone's rights are being suppressed. But feel free to continue with the whiny digs - I'm not sure what you think they prove...

By creating the false expectation that liberals have to 'stfu' when conservatives march, you're actually trying to suppress their freedom of expression

In essence, the people shouting and being obnoxious are trying to silence or treat those people as dumb or idiots who are voting for McCain.

Actually, no. How you feel is entirely up to you. No one can make you feel dumb or stupid.

What's happening here is that McCain supporters are exercising their First Amendment rights and Obama supporters are exercising theirs.

It's what this country is all about.

Yeah...well people on either side who act like that(yelling obnoxiously to people who support a diff Pres candidate) are idiots IMO.

Again, a bunch of woosies if they can't take being 'shouted' at. How sad, too bad.

It's like this ridiculous game the right play here on VJ, oh, you libruls, you are not allowed to get angry, that's hypocritical. Yeah, right...

Yeah I would like to see you say half the stuff you say here to my face. I would pay for that opportunity.

What exactly do you think I would be 'afraid' to say to your face BY? I cant think of one post I have ever made that I wouldn't say if you were standing in front of me. Try to portray me as some 'coward' if you like, but I am not.

I am still not getting how 'heckling' has somehow become some shocking form of expression. It's normal behaviour, in fact this is pretty lame as heckling goes. No one has surpressed the marches rights. No one has stopped them marching, or tried to tear down their banners or threatened them with any form of violence. Whether it is strictly 'good form' or not is another question, but it isn't something that necessitates intervention.

One has to wonder how this video was edited as well - at least a thinking person does

The cries of 'Nazi' were out of order, but otherwise I was left thinking that it was a typical reaction to a parade of people whose opinions you oppose. Not mature discourse, naturally, but then marches aren't meant for that purpose.

And that's your opinion. You're free to express it. And they're free to act that way.

None of this amounts to suppression of free speech.

Well maybe liberal Americans need to be educated by the rest of the world what it means to respect other people's opinion.

Obviously you guys did not get the message with 9/11.

Well *some* of them are. McCain had to take the microphone away from one the other day.

What kind of person even goes to these things?

Ok, next time the stormtroopers march through our neighborhood, we'll just shut up and cower like good little Germans.

Better?

Quite the contrary PH. You are all big and tough behind these forums. But I am sure even you are not stupid enough to be such a smart ###, condescending, to someone in person.

Ouch.

I guess we should brace ourselves for a new wave of bombing attacks when "W" comes out.

You may not like to see people yelling - that's your right but it's not new, it's not unusual and it's not suppressive. It's not particulary productive, sure, but maybe these people heard some GOP supporters chanting 'kill Obama', that might have got there goat just a tad don't you think?

Aficionado will be flying one of the planes, no doubt.

So how's that pilot training coming along, O Evil One?

Is anyone else getting the subtle hint of violence here?
