Do Republican protesters ever get maced and arrested?

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

They do protest sometimes, too, don't they? Maybe not, I really don't know.

3. Yep, that was inside a gov building too

and they were trying to break the doors down or break the glass. Any one trying that on the left would have been tased, gassed, and beaten.

2. They get protected by the police.

Radical right wing fundamentalist xians with no public action permits invaded Civic Center Park, which was filled with anti-war protesters at a permitted event, in Denver during the DNC, and began spouting amplified anti-gay hate speech. When they were confronted by protesters who had actually gone through the permitting process to be in Civic Center Park, militarily equipped riot police swooped in to protect the hate mongers and actually arrested a protester WITH A PERMIT TO BE THERE.

The xian thugs, who were cynically and purposefully disturbing the peace and inciting to riot WERE PROTECTED BY POLICE.

4. hell, they get their time on Faux ...

claiming that they got spit on by a leftie ...

despite the fact that Guinness would have had to be notified of the new world record distance of spitting by the "passing by" leftie onto the RWer ... as much as RWers have video cameras constantly on protesters (to turn into their favorite fascists), nobody had any video of the spitting ... however, they did have video of the guy protesting ...

(I'm referring to a RW protester from a few years back, claiming he, an "Iraqi war veteran", was spit on ... and got plenty of face time, with little evidence)

5. No. They're even allowed to beat Gold Star Dads in full view of police . . .

Disgusting.
