Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Protests

["Vern Green" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

To be an anarchist, wouldn't you be against any form of governement whether that be Democratic or Republican in nature, yet there was none of these shinanigans at the Dem Convention.

 

So these "anarchists" are really just opposed to republican leadership.

 

Also, I am not sure using the Nazis as a reference in this case is a proper comparison to be making. Despite what you might think, the Republicans are nothing like the Nazis, never have been, never will be and to make that comparison is very insulting. I do not think that is what you were trying to do here, but I have heard a number of people try to make that comparison before, including you Mike.

You would be violent if you had enough reason.  For example, you'd
disagree with the Nazis and I hope you would fight them if they started to
take over your homeland.
