What's the Difference between Right wing protests and Leftwing Protests?

[PubliusInfinitum]

 

[Red Dawn]

What?

Leftwingers are young, and rightwingers are old as dirt?

 

[RodISHI]

The red tutu is cute? Or is it the bandanas?

 

[eots]

when the Ron Paul campaign started much of his support was labeled left-wing...the left /right thing has to go ..it is about honest accountable government something neither side is offering

 

[HideTheRum]

The main difference is........
nothing except for the appearance that the LW is worried that the silent majority is no longer willing to remain silent.(which is not necessarily just the RW)
People have seen what can be accomlished through protesting and activism. (which happened after working hours.....) The crazy LWers loose their minds and all they can do is attack. Attack and attempt to discredit the actions of average americans who are tired of being told that government is the answer to ALL of our problems.

 

[WillowTree]

What?

Leftwingers are young, and chickenshit and rightwingers are old as dirt?

and bravely have the balls to show their faces






there! I fixed that for ya.

Please don't lower OUR taxes President Obama... give it to the elite and the corporations that sponsored this... so they can invest it in jobs for workers overseas...

WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!!

Assuming the photographs are depicted as "Rightwingnuts" above and "Leftwingnuts" below, the difference appears to be the rightwingnuts are angry Americans and the Leftwingnuts are happy party-goers being beat up by Canadian Police.

The difference is too complex and too layered for two pictures. Your right wing example are people who watch Fox and listen to Rush and can't accept the democratic outcome of the last election. Your left example are young people who see the destruction caused by global corporate rape and pollution. But the reality that one is left and one is right is in your mind only. It helps you (and many others) categorize who is good and who is bad and prevents genuine thinking about the issues.

Where was the second picture taken?

The difference is too complex and too layered for two pictures. Your right wing example are people who see a government that is overreaching and needs to be reigned in.
Your left example are young people who have been indoctrinated by 12 years of public education and aren't willing to secure the freedoms this country gives them.

Fixed.

Either one of the protesters is wearing a Victoria British Columbia Police uniform or the photo was taken there, and that is a genuine Canadian Cop...

Eh?

Dude... "Fixing" other peoples posts outside of the Flame Zone is a sign of a weak point of perspective. I expect such childishness from some of my comrades on this board, but I've always had more respect for you than this allows.

It's Victoria, Australia....

It's Victoria, Australia....

I stand corrected. I thought the Chicago style checkered hat brim was new for Victoria BC. It's amazing how much Australians look like Canadians.

Thanks Doc!

[editec]

Left wingers get laid afterwards?

Right wingers go home and stroke their guns?

Just guessing, of course.

They may go home and beat their wives.

How true. The demonstrators in that picture all look like CEOs, merchant bankers and trust fund babies. Don't let the fact that it's dress down Friday fool you.

Tough to tell how happy they are with those masks on, but you may be right....

It's an understandable mistake Joe... the first agents of government the people of New Orleans encountered after Hurricane Katrina were the RCMP from Vancouver, British Columbia...

The difference is complex and layered, but the right can still be explained simply by reference to Fox and Rush? That's not complex - it's simplistic. Though I suppose it is more than one layer.

I don't think the left one is indicative of the left. Far left anarchists perhaps, but saying the left are all anarchists would be equally simplistic.

Terry Schiavo - Pogo

We protect the braind dead and the unborn - forget the rest unless they have money or Fox tells us to.

You can find whatever you want in pictures, Pogo. Facts are a different thing.
