How Not to Win Friends and Influence People

One of the reasons the Democrats wull lose this year is because they have become the party of cranks and crazy people. They don’t believe in free speech or fairness as evidenced by the actions of the protesters who have tried to disrupt the Republican convention.

For example:

Including the Minneapolis protest, police have arrested 422 people since Saturday in pre-emptive raids and at protests in downtown St. Paul that were marred by violence. St. Paul was quieter on the convention’s third day, when four women from the peace group CodePink were arrested after crawling under a fence a couple blocks from the Xcel Center where the convention is being held. They were released.

CodePink also took credit for disrupting Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s speech on Wednesday night. The group said two of its members were given tickets to the speech by a Republican delegate who was frustrated with the party and Palin.

The CodePink members, Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans, were escorted from the Xcel Center after yelling and displaying a banner. They said they were held until after her speech but not arrested.

That Marxist shouting down act is tired and abusive and a common thing on their side. Then there’s the idea of anti-war protest when the war is winding down and we’re already scheduled to withdraw. Americans don’t like to lose and we’ve pretty much won in Iraq. We’re handing over parts of the countr to the Iraqi control. And the American left wants us to surrender. This is Obama’s position, as well.

On top of that, they’re playing to the most extreme end of their party by calling for criminal prosecution of the Bush administration for war crimes, which Biden claims they will do i they get elected. .Once again, that’s disgraceful. Americans as a whole will not stand for a president going through that. Especially when, whether you agree or not with the administration’s actions, they were done in defense of the country. And the defense resulted in no terrorist acts since 9/11 on US soil.

Voters overwhelming rejected the last leftist presidential candidate when Nixon ran against George McGovern in 1972 Nixon beat him by 21 points and won every state except McGovern’s. And this was during the Vietnam was with the anti-war movement was at its zenith.

This is why, until now, Obama’s people have tried to sound more centrist. But if they keep revealing a leftist message to charge their base, they will join McGovern in humiliation history.

From gateway pundit:
Later when the GOP busses started to take delegates from Minneapolis to St. Paul the anarchists started throwing sandbags and cement bags at the busses.
Unreal.

The bus I was riding was hit with cement bags that the anarchists were throwing off the overpasses down on the interstate. The anarchists missed the bus in front of us and nailed our bus with a direct hit.

I wonder where the cops are. It is not a difficult feat to guard these overpasses.
I guess it will take a death.
In a follow up post he says the police were rerouting the buses, including similar types such as Greyhound, onto city streets, causing massive tie ups.
Some great planning there.

These people are asking for it. They keep screaming how Bush wants to put them in camps. They’d have been shot on sight in most countries.

The way they sent disruptors into the speeches yesterday and today is really sickening. They really are the enemies of Democracy.
