Geesh Maxelson, take your own advice. (IE: that last three sentences I seperated.)
What is the deal lately, with this farce that protestors are beyond all criticism and off limits to any and all reproach?
And even more bizarre, that no one can call the vandals and law breakers among them out for it?
There�s something of an obviously hypocritical (to say nothing of shamelessly dishonest) tactic I notice lately, that everyone must �lay off� and treat anyone calling themselves a protestor with kid gloves no matter what -they can say and do whatever they like, not be held accountable for any hypocritical positions or any negative actions any of them take, and that no one can call the ones that act like jackasses, jackasses.
Yet on the same token, it�s paraded as legit to posture as if anyone questioning these people doesn�t have any rights to their own viewpoint. Any time someone does, the not even subtle slight of hand is to paint them as being 'against all rights to protest.'
And of course, no one can ask valid questions of any protestor, such as typhoon. Guess what; his question of those protestors that did say this, and his OP are also VALID.
See how it works?
