Liberal demonstrators scream "racist" and "fascist" and rip Santorum signs

[GuyPinestra]

Gateway pundit has the article and video. I hope all our candidates start beefing up security. Don't you just love how the left believes in free speech?


About 20 liberal demonstrators tried to shout down Rick Santorum while he delivered his stump speech on the steps of the state capitol building here Sunday, yelling “racist” and “fascist” at the Republican presidential candidate.

The anti-Santorum faction began chanting “Get your hate out of our state” when the candidate started his address. Standing before a microphone at the top of the steps, Santorum ignored them and continued speaking. The demonstration lasted about 15 minutes.

Santorum supporters standing near the front of the crowd tried to come to his aid by holding signs in front of the demonstrators and shouting, “We pick Rick! We pick Rick!” Some of the anti-Santorum demonstrators ripped the signs out of supporters’ hands.

Liberals only believe in their free speech. They are Bigots and prone to violent and outrageous outbreaks. Anyone Identified in the Video should be charged with Assault and Obstruction. I don't know why they think, only themselves entitled to Civil Rights. It seems the more things heat up, the less the Law matters to them. They seem to know no shame.

"Assault"? "Obstruction"?

They didn't "assault" anyone, and there's no such crime as "obstruction".

Ripping signs out of people's hands can be charged as assault, yes.

I'm watching history begin to repeat itself. Wait till OWS goes bonkers on Chicago during the G8 and G20 Summits.

Days of Rage II.

I really think serious security details should be set up for the candidates. A mob tried to beat up the French President and there was that incident with the Prime Minister of Australia earlier this year.

Everything is getting more violent. Ahhh the 99%. Peace love and doves.

Have you made the mistake of equating these people with the peace and love hippies of the 60s? Different group here. OWS and the associated populist movements are more similar in temperament to the socialist/populist/labor movements of the 20s-30s. In reality they are not like anything we have ever seen with their tech savvy social networking skills. I can't say where it all will go but someone has to do something about the boomers trying to take it all with them when they die.

I lived the 60's. By the time the Dem Convention rolled around no one was protesting peacefully anymore.

Bernadette even more than Bill at the time was into violent revolution. We had the Panthers, Karenga's crew, Weathermen the violent offshoot Bernie headed from SDS, and so many other groups.

But it wasn't about protesting. It was about rioting. Hell's bells cities burned.

I don't understand why you guys can't understand that "free speech" is a two-way street, though.

Every day, I see Conservatives posting threads on how "liberals" "hate" "free speech", using things like this as an example.

But this isn't "hating free speech" - this is people using their right to free speech.

We do understand that free speech is a two way street. Which is precisely why we don't interupt people when they are trying to talk like this demonstrator did.

And our nation wasnt nearly as fractured and overwhelmed then as it is now. We are looking at a bloody summer.

Don't be dense, they might be "using their free speech", but their only PURPOSE is to take away someone else's free speech.

That's just wrong. The correct terms are "homophobe and "misogynist".

Is there a name for "hates education"?

You mean it's the same radicals, they just arent pretending to be for peace and love this time around. They are demonstrating it more like the Weather Underground and their parents did in the 30s.

It's been the same group every few decades. The Robbers among us.

They are not a group that you can really talk about with general statements. There are all kinds of people actively involved in one way or another.

They're not "taking away" anyone's "free speech".
Rick Santorum isn't in prison. He hasn't been "silenced".

He got shouted down by protesters. That's all.

The right to "free speech" doesn't include a right to be heard.

Who is this "we" that you keep referring to?

Seriously, I hope you guys are joking. This fear-mongering nonsense is getting RIDICULOUS.

That goes for the violent malcontent assholes, disrupting a peaceable assembly....Also covered by the 1st Amendment.

Who thinks protests should be polite? Well they are shouldn't, they should be as disruptive and irritating to the target as possible.

Disruptive and irritating will get you pepper sprayed or worse, folks aren't going to put up with this kind of shit much longer...

Ripping signs out of people's hands is ASSAULT, asshole! I've told you that once already, pay attention!

I'm giving 10:1 that won't penetrate the bubble.

Any takers?

If blatant disorderliness and disruption of and destruction of signage at a peaceable assembly isn't aggression, if not outright violence, what would be?

Ripping signs out of people's hands can be charged as assault, yes.

I think you'd have a pretty hard time making that case.

Not to mention, I didn't see any of that happening in the video.
