If they refused to move, she should have then told them that, given that she was a candidate for VP and that she would be treated the same as Joe Biden, the police would remove them.

If the STILL refused to move, the protesters should have been removed with prejudice.

Show decency, show class, and then get them the hell out of the way, no matter what it takes.

Must…block…road…stop…her…she…will…quit…if…we…block…road.

Notice there was none of that crap in Colorado Springs? That’s why I live here and not in Grand Junction.

The Springs is nice, but I was at the rally there a month ago and the freaks and geeks were out and about there too. Although, granted, no one rushed the motorcade. But anyway, don’t knock Junction too hard. We still have a lot of wonderful conservative people here and Mesa County will assuredly go McCain/Palin. We aren’t Boulder by any stretch of the means.

Well, maybe the Kent State technique would have been best. Too harsh or just right?

Oh, Absolutely Too Harsh!

There weren’t enough Stalinist **ck protesters blocking the Palin motorcade.

Would’ve been a waste of perfectly good ammo.

My parents attended that rally, they loved it! Grand Junction is not a bad town,..just a few bad apples! You know,… if this was any other country they would have just kept going,..and might have backed up a few times!

I was at the rally also. Huge turnout! Estimates between 16,000 and 22,000… and this is only a town of 50,000. I make my own schedule for work so I was able to go early and find a place near the stage. The First Dude shook my hand and Hank said hi to me. Got to see Sarah up close as well. It was a great time! Oh, and Barry was here a month ago and only drew a crowd of 5-6k.

No tasers, No billy clubs, and No rubber bullets for those of Sarah Palin is a vile Tee-Shirt fame.

VERY disappointing.

I don’t think anyone here would try to say that mistreatment against blacks was a good thing. There were much need changes that happened.

The ultimate goals of Dr. King and the methods of achieving them were very honorable. Many prominent black “leaders” today go far beyond what King would likely approve of.

NoDonkey on October 21, 2008 at 4:10 PM

Well said. Dr. King pretty much spoke against what “civil rights leaders” have been doing for decades.

Content of character > color of skin.

King was a good man, but suffice to say, if he was here today to see what the carrion did to his legacy, he would be sorry he did what he did.

NoDonkey on October 21, 2008 at 4:10 PM

Why? Because he would prefer Jim Crow laws and lynchings to continue? Don’t downplay the horrors of segregation, racism, and jim crow.

This King guy supposedly organized some protests in the 60’s or something.

Yeah. How’s that dream working out? 99.99% percent of all blacks voting for him are voting based on race alone. Martin Luther King would have been so proud. So much for judgment based on character and not the color of one’s skin.

Every black dude and liberal nitwit in the country is voting for him and no matter how many I talk to, no one has an answer to “Why?” Ask an Obama supporter why they support him. Ask them to name a single policy that Obama has. Ask them what they think of Obama’s foreign policy. Ask them to name one, just one, accomplishment of Obama.

Pisses them off when they can’t think of anything. I do it every chance I get. Sometimes I even get a “I didn’t know” when I start informing them of who and what Obama really is.

You want to know the #1 answer I get when I ask someone why they support Obama? He’s cool. That’s it. They will vote for him just as Hollywood has trained them.

Thanks to the Libtards, the Presidency has been denigrated to the latest episode of American Idol.

Video: The obligatory “Palin protesters versus Colorado cops” clip

Just an FYI, that title should probably read “ANTI-Palin Protestors”… as it is now, “Palin Protesters”, sounds like Palin supporters to a headline skimmer.
