Tell me, what is your opinion of the people, presumably Obama supporters or, if not, anti-McCain operatives of some sort, who go around St. Paul smashing windows, . . . I'm not certain why you ask that question to me, MM. You could just as easily ask that on Bill's thread. Why do you presume they are Obama supporters? Do you have some evidence for that? Perhaps they are McCain supporters doing some ugly conspiracy thing making themselves look as if they are Obama supporters. Who knows. The media I've watched, and it hasn't been much, hasn't offered much more about their motivation than that they are "anarchists." My guess is the media folk don't know their motivation, just trying to find some sort of label. Smashing windows generally gets one arrested. I would assume that's what's happening. I don't see that smashing windows has anything to do with serious politics, even civil disobedience politics. So what's your view? And please offer some evidence for your claim they are Obama supporters. Or, if you cannot, it would be wise to not make that claim.
