The DU folks apparently believe that Karl Rove is Niccolo Machiavelli reincarnate; and they are paranoid about it. The CBS memos were a Rove plant. Now this thing. It's so pathetic it's funny.

I've seen enough video of leftist demostrators being extremely hostile, and heard enough stories of Bush yard signs being destroyed/stolen, cars with Bush stickers being keyed, hammered, or having the stickers torn off, to believe this story Now, the guy may have gone there to try to stir up trouble. Just like that Crocodile Hunter guy likes to poke snakes to get a reaction.

That being said, Al Gore should look at the Dems when he talks about brownshirts.

The guy does seem to be very successful at attracting attention. That is not a crime though, and appearing at opposition rallies to show how thugish your opponent's supporters are seems like just a good job of investigative reporting. However, it does put the fact that he brought small children with him in an unfavorable light.

I feel the issue is why he takes his daughter and son into a crowd of Kerry people and wave Bush signs. He was looking for trouble and his kids got used by him. He needs slapped.

Yeah... anyone who takes their kids out in public is just asking to have them roughed up.

I guess you missed the story, Ravenwood. He had been attacked under the same circumstances in a prior campaign. And he chose to expose his children to the same circumstances this campaign. This is not a simple case of going "out in public".

Wow! A lot of these people on the Left need large doses of prozac or valium. What a mean thing to do to a little girl. They are humorless, mean-spirited, nazis. If they ever get to run the country the rest of us are going to need to keep a low profile. They simply don't tolerate diverse views. They love diversity, all kinds of races, creeds, and ideas as long as they are liberal.

Mike,

That makes perfect sense. If you get robbed while you're out to dinner... you leave your children at home next time you go out, so they don't get robbed.

As a parent, I would say the choice of taking his children was probably not a good one, but his to make just the same.

That aside, the fact that the Demanazis feel that it was a good idea to attack him and his children, for whatever reason or cause shows just how desperate and far out of touch most of their party is.

Ravenwood: You are arguing like a leftist. Listen hard. No, I would not refuse to ever allow my family out if I was robbed while out to dinner. But I would not go back to the same restaurant and the same crowd that had robbed me before, with my small children. No, I would not lock them in a closet the rest of their lives. But we are not talking about that, are we. You are employing juvenile exaggerations to try to rationalize deliberately or at least carelessly exposing children to a situation that had already been proved to be dangerous.
Also, your first exaggerated sneering remark,"Yeah... anyone who takes their kids out in public is just asking to have them roughed up", is just as juvenile. That is the style of the left, to use gross exaggerations of what someone else is arguing to try to make them seem ridiculous. You invite comments from others and then make sneering and misleading remarks. I have taken up the battle against the occasional a**holes who attacked you here in the past and frankly don't feel deserving of your sarcastic misrepresentations of my comments.
