These guys irritate me as much as neo-cons

[noahmijo]

What? we should let these whackos take the reins? what exactly are their brilliant solutions? I love the way they twist the facts on Kerry almost as bad as the right wing does.

1. A bunch of spoiled brats and unshowered malcontents

If Bush wins because they sat on their hands in November, I HOPE THEY GET DRAFTED into George Bush's army!

Yeah, I speak my mind.

10. Blanket statements are great!

YAY! People who are discontent with the two party system are SPOILED BRATS! All the lack of choice on many questions has spoiled them.

2. The quest to change the system by not liking it

Sorry, but you have to either get people in the system to help change it, or you're just waiting for it to collapse. In this case, Kerry is by far the most sympathetic to progressive causes of those who can be elected to the presidency in 2004, so that's why I will vote for him.

I don't have a problem with protests, but one can protest and still elect more sympathetic people to the high offices of our country--it may not make any difference to the dilletante activists here, but for all the people who will suffer and die under right wing authoritarianism, the difference between Kerry and Bush seems a lot larger. Say you're a child in Syria who doesn't want to be the next statistic, a woman who likes to have some rights to her own body, or a Green party leader who doesn't like being forcibly detained at the airport by the Secret Service--small stuff like that. ;-)

(I respect these people far more than the neo-cons, and they do not annoy me--I disagree with their strategy)

3. On second thought..

This protest on the DNC could be a good thing. It shows that Kerry or Democrat supporters are not in the same league as the radical "let's plant a bomb in mcdonald's" movement as the right is always trying to portray us as.

5. The 1968 protests at the Dem. Convention sure didn't help (nt)

6. Well, both the left and right will use it to blast Kerry

We'll hear that the left is divided and Kerry is the same as Bush from the pens of CommonDreams and the lips of Tucker Carlson. :) While their goals are different, their approach to Kerry will be very similar.

11. They advocate bombing McDonalds?

4. Look at this SOB:

http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_4535.shtml

"The only thing that will keep George W. Bush from joining that select group of two-termers is George W. Bush. It certainly won’t be John F. Kerry. He stumbled into the nomination because he was next in line when Howard Dean self-destructed and his only real chance of falling head first into the Presidency will be if Dubya implodes on his own.

And, if he does, I’ll be there in the wings, scalpel in hand, ready to slice he and his administration to bits the second he screws up.

Shouldn’t take more than a day or two. A week at most.

Guess I should feel guilty about picking on the handicapped.

Nah. I like picking on cripples -- especially emotional ones"

Mr. Thomson forgets the war crimes of his Hero Reagan.

9. Sure some of that is harsh, and I disagree with it....

But, where would Kerry be today, if Bush didn't turn out to be a Corporate whore / fascist that screwed up on jobs, the budget and messed up in Iraq, and actually turned out to be a moderate?

[pocoloco]

7. They are "right on", but they did leave out

kowtow to Sharon!

[Hippo_Tron]

8. Umm they don't really provide a solution to the problem...

It's kind like the Underpants Gnomes in South Park.

Step 1: Protest the DNC

Step 2:

Step 3: Change
