[freedumz--that and the right of the melanically-challenged to "peacefully assemble"(meaning: "intimidate," but not so peacefully.)]

If we cared enough about our infrastructure and shoes, they should be rolling in work (I know I could use them both, but there would be some ground rules about flushing after using the powder room.)

I hope very much that there is no violence at either Convention. But it is patently untrue that threats to disrupt the political process are coming only from the right. There is a cohort of idiots on the left who think it is useful (or fun) to provoke clashes with rightwingers. The Anonymous posts and vids are full of that nonsense. I've posted one link--I have no intention of promoting assholes by posting any more.

Right. Because denying that the left has ever been damaged by the violent faction within its own ranks is a great way to prevent it happening again.

President Gene McCarthy sends his regards.

These Nazis don't need to be angrily confronted; they need to be merrily mocked. They live to piss people off. Nothing will frustrate them more than seeing us happy and laughing at them. Sing! Dance! Laugh! Win!https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Might this be a team that has not won the pennant since 1956?

"does not excuse the lefties for attacking them" Why does anyone go out and counter demonstrate? Give me one example since Hannibal crossed the Alps where it has accomplished anything.

And as I recall, most of the fighting in "Gangs of New York" was with shillelaghs. Silly movie. Urban gangs while the Civil War was going on. Other rejected script ideas: how a Pop Warner football game affected the Russian Revolution. Playing badminton during the San Francisco earthquake.

I get the impression that Horst Wessel was probably not a bad guy. He was killed by his girl friend's pimp and it had nothing at all to do with the Nazi Party. Except they finally had a dead member they could prop up and pose as a martyr.

Why would you be anywhere near the convention site at all? Unless you're a delegate or a reporter, stay a safe distance away. Like Toledo.
