: The Democratic poll workers were fearful for their safety when the GOP mini-rioters showed up

The democrat poll workers were NOT afraid when the democrat
mini-roits went on. You remember the protest in the streets, the POUNDING on the doors DEMANDING a re-vote.
The "strong-arm bullying tactics" by Jesse Jackson, etc...

Flap, you're just propaganda

Flap..not really..I think if you look at the tape...these people seemed resigned to the fact that a full manual count couldnot possibly be completed...I think the outside-agent inspired demonstration was merely a distraction...let them recount when Gore contests the election...I have no problem with that...my guess is that the entire state would then have to be recounted...may I get from you a tacit agreement that that would be fair??

I defend free speech by any group,regardless of how offensive the "message" is, but not when the demonstration turns into a "mini-riot" and strong-arm bullying tactics.

Kind of like when the union goons shut down companies, damage property threaten lives and disrupt entire cities. Yeah I know what you mean. Those union guys scare me too particularly with their intimidation and threats to forever vote the democratic ticket.
