The California scene appears just when they mention California, hmmmm. Did you know that there are sympathy protests out here for those Wisconsin union block heads?

Look this is no different than what tweety over at MSNBC has been doing for years... The Tea party protest had *zero* violence and only a few vulgar signs but to watch MSNBC you would think they were burning crossing and lynching people.
Did someone at fox screw up with the stock footage? yes.... Did they need to use stock footage to portrey violence? no...
I think Fox has been a might unfair on the protesters in WI becase that many angry people together for two weeks with no huge incidents of violance it something to be applauded. But make no mistake that is a powder keg..

I love that the article states that it was a Solidarity protest in Sacramento, and Fox is saying they are busing people in from neighboring states, and people are coming from as far as California. As for violent, the police should have kept the two protest groups apart. If some moron gets in my face, Imma tell him to step off too. And from what I've seen it's about the only thing they can find that's violent.
As for blockheads, ok, just remember those blockheads are teaching your kids, moron.

Watch the first incident on the video hawk... A guy from the Union side *crosses the street* walks among the other protesters maneuvers himself into position and slams the guy against an Iron fence, completely unprovoked!
Like I said, if someone(ANYONE, union or otherwise) gets in my face, Imma go after them. And how do you know it was unprovoked? Did you stand next to the dude all day? I didn't realize a 4:50 clip gives an accurate picture. and I call BS on Tea Party events not being violent EVER. I'm sure there was josteling. There always is. But hey, only the liberals and unionists get violent, correct?

*ITS ON THE VIDEO* the only thing that was maybe missed was the audio.. Does someone ylling at you from a counter protest warrant a physical reaction?
I give you an viedo of a guy crossing the street to incite violence and you give me 'Im sure the tea party did it'

LOL, Not what I said at all, but feel free to writh away with it....
I said, yea, there was violence, I'm not excusing it from anyone. but you can't HONESTLY believe that both sides aren't guilty. and yea, anyone who commits an assualt should be arrested on the spot. No questions asked! As for the Tea Party, I said, I'm sure there was JOSTELING there too, that it happens. Now, twist away, senor.... twist away.
As a side note, have you ever been to a protest? participated in one? If so, you might understand, if not, you wouldn't get the banter that ends up going on. Tempers flare VERY fast when it's something you care passionately about. (I go to Gay Rights marches, pro-hate crimes legislation protests, etc.)

You siad the only violence you have seen was when they 'anti government union folks' got in the face of protesters, I showed you otherwise..

The level of Cognitive dissonance you choose to display is completely up to you. Tea party scarey, violent, and angry... Union Protests fighting for their rights, justified, peaceful but loud.

Ahh the wonderful Argument from Authority fallacy.. It is irrelevant weather or not I have been to a protest (assault is assault)..
But just to put that puppy to rest I have been part of protest... I have been to many pro-life protest in my day (never to a TP rally).. I have stood there and had pro-choice goons threaten to kick me, hurl insults at me, and in one case spit at my feet. I was never *never* tempted to strike them.
My view is to let the other morons foam at the mouth and look like idiots. Once you retaliate you surrender some pretty important high ground. Plus turning the other Cheek is a Christian Virtue!
You also ignore the fac tthat I said, as a whole, the Wisconsin protesters (as in the ones from Wisconsin) have been spectacular. Is bussed in thugs and the rabble being moved in by organizing for america thats the problem.
I'm sorry, I didn't see you saying they were on the whole good in this thread, I must have skipped over it in one of the others, that basically calls the teachers in Wisconsin thugs, etc. But hey, let's continue to mince words, because you aren't wrapping your head around my point.
Cognative dissonance? Ok, bro... here's the deal. I was saying ANYONE, as in, I don't give a flying eff who's side they are on, should be arrested the instant they go after another person. A shove or a fist... it doesn't matter. Once again, you choose to ignore what I say, and go off inserting your own weird spin-job.
as for getting in people's faces, you're reading comprehension is a bit low today, my friend. I said, if some moron gets in my face I'm gonna tell him to step off. (basically, the Union protester(note SINGULAR) caused it, and the anti-unionist(NOTE SINGULAR) had the right to stand his ground.) but hey, since we are trying to paint a wholly different picture than what was stated....
