One year ago today at the Wisconsin protests: protesters branch out into picketing a bank...

... and then they get suspicious of Meade.
Watch for the lawyer with the Walker-as-Marie-Antoinette sign... to step out of the line and talk to some other guy, who then takes a picture of Meade. And then there are those 2 other guys who are suddenly up in Meade's face, who follow Meade as he leaves to go into the Capitol. Are they going to intimidate Meade?

You guys took a lot of chances back then.

You are very fortunate things worked out well.

But they say fortune favors the brave.

Meade's point that the chanting and drumming was mindless seemed to get a beachhead on the island of closed minds, but I think they missed the subtler point that it's primary purpose is to prevent dialog, and the opening of minds.

I'm not really sure what is more rude, that or just yelling: "SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME AND ONLY ME.

On second thought, yea, the chanting and drumming is more rude and closed minded.

The right should avoid it from now on, as they mostly do. It should be an exclusive rite and method of the left where it belongs.

I don't understand how this labeling system works. When one person (who isn't a member of a labor union) makes an online threat against ya it is considered "union thuggery" but when ya get intimidated by an entire group of people they are just "protesters" with no organization behind 'em.

Do ya'll actually have a way to decide who you're gonna throw the blame on or are those choices just being made-up as ya go?

Oh for crying out loud.

Man that was some great revolution wasn't it?

Purple, to make it easier for you think of them as

Union Thugs, supporting Brownshirts, and Socialist Dem Parasites.

Hope that helps, Little Eichmann :)

In the context of surrounding posts, mine might be ambiguous. I beg your pardon. Clarification:

Still not clear, leslyn.

Can I simply assume you are trying to minimize and whitewash Union threats of violence designed to intimidate those who disagree with them?

Yesterday, it was all Zimmerman is the "aggressor" because he was "stalking". Today its "oh for crying out loud" ?

Fen's Law.

@Fen: I haven't commented about Zimmerman.

leslyn, You are being attacked by members of ASS[Althouse Sycophant Society]..that's the way this works. If they can't "get your mind right" then they will attack you themselves.

leslyn said...

@ndspinelli:

Hmmm. I'd been thinking about referring to "Althouse's Army," myself.

With apologies to Harry Potter and Dumbledore.

Fen said...

leslyn, You are being attacked

Oh for crying out loud.


I haven't commented about Zimmerman.

Under your current sockpuppet, no.

Convenient that.

@Fen: I post under no other name, or "sockpuppet," as you call it.

@ndspinnelli:
I was actually thinking of the term "Althouse's Army.

ndspinelli said...

leslyn, The Althouse Army would be akin to the French Army. Their tanks have 5 speeds. 4 reverse speeds and 1 forward speed, just in case the enemy gets behind them.

ndspinelli said...

edutcher is the president of ASS. That should come as no surprise.

leslyn said...

Fen, it is really not necessary to doubt what I say. But doubt away, if you will. I cannot prove a null.

Fen said...

"Nobody has proved that they were fraudulent, much less a forgery. The truth of this story stands up to this day."

Thanks, Fen. ;-)
