When The Left Found Dissent Cool

Just cause for attack says this loon,

Thomas Friedman deserves a pie in the face...," the flier said, "because of his sickeningly cheery applaud for free market capitalism's conquest of the planet, for telling the world that the free market and techno fixes can save us from climate change. From carbon trading to biofuels, these distractions are dangerous in and of themselves, while encouraging inaction with respect to the true problems at hand..."

After five minutes, Friedman returned to the stage undeterred, with only faint traces of the green cream on his clothing.

More cases of the leftist protesters behaving badly here, attack of the pies.

Now, during that last Presidential administration the big mouths that tell us what to think found these people and their actions to be okay, the ends justified the means. Morons.

These days regular citizens show up and ask questions and get demeaned as some kind of phonies. When, in fact, the real phonies are those who won't answer and those who attack the questioners instead of also demanding answers.

The booing of half-baked answers to legitimate questions may be rude to the speaker, but it is also rude of the speaker to arrogantly fail to respond completely and honestly. Vocal disagreement is a form of communication, if the respondent will listen to only the mood he will get the point. If he tries to hear the message he can learn where the concern lies. That is discourse. Throwing pies is assault.
