[Vision2020] 'Obama Tags' Called a Joke

[g. crabtree]

I'm not sure what the relevance of your question is. None of the photos I 
posted were the work of "Black Bloc" members or groups. The majority of the 
photos were taken at Obama campaign rallies. That said, I would have to 
think that the "death to Bush" crowd are extremely well represented at the 
very highest levels of our government.

Can you point out an instance of the "mainstream left"  be it national or as 
local as our little list raising up a "outraged roar" at the shabby 
treatment of our previous prez?

Please remember that we are comparing a silly off the cuff joking comment 
made by a nowheresville gubernatorial candidate and protesters that were as 
serious as Teddy's tumor. If the former demands outrage and castigation why 
was silence the preferred response to the later?

Gary --

I'm a little interested by this, and seem . How related do you think
the mainstream left -- that is, the left that actually has its
interests represented in Congress -- is to the "radical" left, by
which I mean the McDonalds-window-breaking Black Bloc members?
