I think DU should have a "Guardian Angel"-style program...
I'm thinking of those posts where DUers state that the live in small towns and feel their personal safety is at stake for their choice to post Progressive bumperstickers, lawn signs, etc.

I think DUers in surrounding areas should rally at the home of anyone who feels endangered. Hold a BBQ, a pot-luck supper, a kegger, a bridge game, or whatever...

Just let the local coward flag patriots see a dozen or so cars parked outside the DUer's home one evening, just so they know their intended target has some buddies.

2. Very cool idea. Kinda like the buses that came down to the South
during the civil rights movement of the 60s.

8. That's a fantastic idea. A DU Special Weapons and Tactics Team
We should deploy to the democratic convention, too.

9. A very good idea, even if we use it just as a way to socialize
with other DUers. I haven't met any DUers, and I'd rush to the aid of any who felt threatened (Richmond-N. VA-Tidewater area). Just tell me what to bring for the potluck!!

Roving gangs of rabid pacifists striking terror into the hearts of the redneck rightwingers of the world.
