Political Tourets Syndrome

Gotta go back to the left-wing rabble again because their extremist goofiness, as you might have expected, didn’t stay peaceful.

GOP convention protesters turned violent Monday night when NYPD cops tried to enforce security banning demonstrations within the three block security perimeter around Madison Square Garden, seriously injuring one policeman. Police say plain clothes Detective William Sample was yanked from his vehicle and punched and kicked until he was unconscious. ”Eleven demonstrators were arrested, but his attacker escaped, according to NY1 News.

Sample was hospitalized and is in stable condition with head injuries, which are not considered life threatening. The attack occurred during a march by the ‘Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign.’

The group of several thousand did not have a permit, but reportedly negotiated with police to let them march to the Garden. Law enforcement sources said they feared further incidents might mar Tuesday's proceedings, beginning with an expected protest outside a Texas delegation breakfast for Halliburton company.

Protesters have dubbed Tuesday ‘Direct Action Day,’ with disruptions and civil disobedience planned at different sites throughout New York City. Monday night's violence was in marked contrast to Sunday's march on the Garden by the radical umbrella group United for Peace and Justice, which came off largely without incident. Sunday night, however, a female GOP delegate attending a Broadway show was jostled by demonstrators, who pelted her with vulgarities.”

Meanwhile, at what one would think was a bit more refined protest event (heh), the "Big Tent Extravaganza," there was a gathering of musicians, actors, and comedians co-sponsored by Planned Parenthood and its affiliate, Planned Parenthood Republicans for Choice. The event, held at the Beacon Theater Monday night, was billed as a celebration of unity between Democrats and Republicans who support abortion. But one featured performer, the comedian Lewis Black, had a message for GOP delegates who might hold other views.

“It is un-fucking-believable that since the time I was 15 we have been having to argue this shit," Black said. "There comes a point where you say, ‘Fuck you, enough is enough. There is no argument. It's not your body, asshole. Shut the fuck up.’

Lesbian comedian Suzanne Westenhoefer said of evangelical Christians, "I support any religion that brings people up. Anything that brings people down, your ass is mine. That's fucking bullshit." Westenhoefer also described her fundamentalist sister as "a whack-job Christian," and added that "Mormons are whack jobs, too." And she launched into an extended discussion of the actor Mel Gibson and his movie The Passion, saying, "He's a fucking asshole."

Just keep it up, my good Dem friends. Be the face of the Kerry-Edwards ticket. Believe that shoving extended middle fingers in the collective face of middle America is the way back to power.

Just makes it that much more likely that, on November 2nd, your asses will be ours.
