My question is "Why do these kinds of people show up at the Republican conventions, when Dan Quayle speaks at Pioneer Square, and other such venues, and never at the democrat gatherings?"
I gather you weren't around for the 1968 conventions (those protests I best add, editing this post, were not anarchist; they were directly political--at both conventions--read Norman Mailer's superb books on them).
It's my impression that some version of these folk show up at all conventions, try to get some media attention by doing things like this, and get arrested. As I type, I recall problems at the 1992 New York Dem convention.
I don't know whether they are anti-McCain since no one has made the case. "Anarchists" if they are such are opposed to any state, whether run by Dems or Reps, just that it's run by Reps right now.
I mean, why does Obama have people like Rev. Wright and Father Pfleger in his penumbra? It makes one wonder. Is he a lamp light attracting moths? I don't get it. Nobody showed up at the Democrat convention breaking windows and such like. What gives?
If you wish to raise that question, MM, you would then have to address the question of comparable issues with Palin, of which there are more than a few. My guess is your answer to those questions would suffice to answer the Obama questions as well. |
