Just as the title states....your thoughts?

Ahhh yes! San Fran-sicko, used to be my home town. Used to be a nice place, a long time ago. Well you see if the McCain supporters would have marched wearing thongs or nothing at all and were perfroming public sex acts then they would be embraced by these vermin. John McCain just does not get it...

While I agree with Mikhayl regarding the captions, I have to disagree with the no sympathy part. Anyone can be an idiot with the captions, but look how many idiots in that crowd are exemplifying the exact same sentiment. I spent most of my time watching the real evidence (the video), not reading the captions (which we all knew were going to be pro-Republican).

Can't blame Barry O for these folks actions, though. I wonder how many of the folks that were enraged by the McCain crowds will find some way to make these people's actions acceptable?:hmm:

I would not Blame Obama either. There are plenty of ways to demostrate without being gutter snipes. It would not matter in that city. If the boy scouts of America were marching, they would get the same treatment.

As the brothers would say "nigga please". You know as well as I do that if I packed up a bunch of Obama people and marched them thru a place like Vider Texas or Knoxville TN you would see the same if you were lucky, but most likely you would have had to call out riot police.

Besides, if you could ever afford to live in the North you would know that is nicer than the people act in rush hour traffic.

Well, no. They would be put in a fenced area about 100 yards away as it was done at the DNC. I guess it is just easier to cage those big bad animals.

The only place I would not recommend that happening is Marshall Arkansas. But it seems Obama is doing well in the southern states. Frisco and Berkely are social anomalies. Been that way since the sixties...By the way, I am a brother....

My first thought is that I was very glad to see that there was no violence. In most Countries there would have been.

My second though was that when you design an education system to protect Government, and therefore educate students to a level where they believe that Government is there to wipe their ass every time they screw up, then when you confront those students as adults with any level of accountability, there will always be an obvious response.....usually involving one finger.

I wonder how many of them actually realize that they live in a Republic and not a Democracy......or maybe teaching them that would have confused the mesage.

I burst out laughing and turned off the video when it got to the "area intellectuals boo and jeer them as well... just as they've been taught to do". Ohhh brother, not this again

The event and the reactions are interesting. The rhetoric in the titles is twice as brainless and vapid as the reactions of the "intellectuals" on the street. The marchers I'm fine with, they exercised their right, and they stood for their position quietly and correctly avoiding response to the insults. Except for the one that made the video, of course.

The right is really used to having to hold people's hands and spell things out letter by letter in case you didn't get it. Trust me, I went thru the southern school system, I know all too well how they do this. Subtlety is lost on them.

The McCain supprorters must be allowed to show their political views, and the Non-McCain supporters must be allowed to show what they think too. I don't think any laws were breaken during that march? And I'm sure that it'd be exactly the same if Obama Supporters marched in a Republican neighbourhood.

In response to the original question, my thoughts; I notice that democrats lack good manners whereas republicans seem to react rather well to provocation. I also note from the titles that 'intellectual' and 'taught' are pejorative terms in the republican dictionary.
