It's true, but we talk about income inequality now rather than death panels. It was a poorly thought out and executed protest but it's always like that when it is of the mass protest type that scares the bejesus out of conservatives. The point is that you see no conflict between you wanting to send the riot squad after some hippies who are causing problems and but wanting full freedom to piss off Muslims no matter what might happen and reject the trouble you might provoke. Draw your cartoons and do whatever but accept the costs, and it has cost lives. I personally think it is dumbest thing to die for on either side of the battle. Occupy was fighting for our economic future, against that a cartoon battle is nothing but a useless distraction. The first amendment is as safe as ever and was never threatened in the least. This entire exercise was useless.A wise man once said that one should pick their battles, this is about the stupidest battle anyone ever fought and died over.There was a clear 1st amendment question involved in the occupy protests. You people came down on the side of public safety and property rights and cheered when authority figures shut it down and evicted people. But now you are all about throwing caution to the wind and come down on the side of permissiveness just this once. When the protests were about something that was actually important and a threat to your ideology it was violently put down but now anyone who just asks someone to consider that their actions might provoke crazy people to senseless murder you hide behind a right but shirk responsibility.Should we practice our 1st amendment rights responsibly? Yes we should. Too many people are polarizing over this thing and beating down anyone with a more sensible and diplomatic attitude.
oh no you don't. You and your ilk (the Occupiers) set up camps in Parks and turned them into garbage dumps, rape central and then took over businesses sidewalks with your un-responsible and polarizing actions. don't even come here preaching to others about a more SENSIBLE and diplomatic attitude. You work for these people (democrats/progressives/commies. who wants to Step on our freedoms of speech. you can go to your bosses and them we all said they can go to hell
you people don't get to make other peoples choices of what they believed was right and wasn't. You occupiers DID NOT SPEAK for me. EVER
As for Geller, I will stand with her to my death if I have to. It was that important in my book
Really, taking over the people parks and interrupting businesses and their lives you consider wise? the majority of people saw you all as idiots, fools and couldn't stand you. so how wise was that choice.
