Frankly Speaking

We've been told since the beginning of the Iraq war that dissent is patriotic. That just because you protest the way, it doesn't mean you hate America. These are both statements that I can agree with. However, just because I agree with those statements doesn't mean that I think that most protesters are anything more than idiotic scum, as is being demonstrated at the RNC this week.

As the Connecticut delegation was getting off a bus near the Xcel Center, a group of protesters broke free from authorities and attacked the delegates.

Connecticut delegate Rob Simmons told FOX 9 that a group of protesters came toward his delegation and tried to rip the credentials off their necks and sprayed them with a toxic substance.

The unknown substance burned their eyes and stained their clothes.

One 80-year-old member of the delegation had to be treated for injuries, and several other delegates had to rinse their eyes and clothing.

Can't you just feel the patriotism just dripping from them? Later in the article you find out protesters were also throwing sandbags and bags of cement off of overpasses at buses carrying RNC delegates.

Because apparently the best way to win people to your cause is to act like a murderous fucktard. I don't know what the Minneapolis police are us to these days, but they need to taser the hell out of these people, and then drag their twitching bodies off to jail for quite a long time.

Update: Had to bump this post to add this story to it. Apparently not satisfied with throwing bleach into an old woman's eyes, these modern day patriots anarchist protesters then attacked a bus load of cub scouts who had the audacity to accept an invitation to present the colors to open the RNC.

A little later, a busload of Cub Scouts were en route to the convention, where they were to present the colors to open the convention. A group of protesters--liberals, Obama supporters, or whatever--blocked the road, surrounded the bus, and attacked it, rocking the bus back and forth, denting and scratching the sides, and generally terrifying the children trapped inside. The left-wing protesters attacked a number of buses in the same way, but there is something especially despicable about attacking a group of Cub Scouts.
