Other Democrats suggested the protesters are embittered, fringe conservatives fueled by radio and TV talk-show hosts. "There's a lot of energy, but it's negative energy," said Democratic strategist John Lapp. "At the end of the day, Republicans are left with bomb-throwing, screaming, frothing and a lot of opposition."
For their part, Republican leaders have been grappling with whether to embrace or distance themselves from the mounting protests.
I can tell you, right now, if you don't know which side you're on, you are on the side of the Redcoats/Obama Democrats. Thanks for the support, Bush/McCain RINOs!
As a side note, I refused to attend any July 4 protests in disgust after they let John "Eye Care" Sullivan - who voted against-for-against-for TARP - speak at the Tax Day protest, with cheers and sweet words.
My other favorite quote:
The 54 riders on the Tallahassee bus provide a window into the new conservative energy. On the road, they listened to reminiscences of President Ronald Reagan's life, including his battle against Soviet-style communism.
Well, that's really the War on Terror of 1980, ain't it? The *-style naming convention doesn't really capture what was going on. Hint: he didn't fight "Soviet-style" Communism. He fought Soviets (in the USSR) and Communists (here and abroad). It wasn't like he was in favor of Chinese or Cuban style Communism and just liked to pick on the Ruskies.
And it's Communism, dude. Big C. The second totalinarian mindset we fought, after defeating fascism.
