Go to DC, write your congressman, etc. You have a legitimate message, yet they are sending in the worst way possible, and they are too fucking stupid to realize this. I wonder how many of them voted. Some people can get fired for being “inconvieninced for a short period of time” ya know. ---

I bet those protesters would quickly rethink their actions if one of _them_ suddenly needs medical attention and the nearest ambulance is stuck in traffic. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rhum Runner \* > \*\*The tactics that were ok to use in semi-rural Alabama are not the same tactics that are ok to use in NYC. Like others have said, protest all you want, march on the weekends, make general asses out of yourselves by calling for the death of American servicemen, but once you start mucking with people’s ability to earn a living by getting to work, the police need to clean the streets with clubs, water cannons, rubber bullets and dogs as far as I’m concerned. \*\* March on the weekends? Sure. And keep your ass in the free-speech zone that we set up on 215th street. And maybe I’ll try to win the free-speech lottery so that I can exercise my rights on alternate Tuesdays in July. Fuck that and fuck you; I’ll march and protest wherever and whenever I want. I don’t need a license, I have a permit: _The mother-fucking constitution._ Don’t like it? That’s the point. You think we’re worried about winning over **Rhum Rhunner** , **Gobear** , and **Tuckerfan**? Wise up, chumps. The purpose is to piss you the fuck off and remind you that a far-off war affects you. Wow, guess it’s working better than expected, huh? ---

Well at least we are clearing “the fog of protest”, and finding out the real deal. “The purpose is to piss you the fuck off” Fuck you. AS far as wising up, you should as well. You little fucking protests and doing shit! Don’t violate peoples civil rights and I have no problem. ---

Come now, **World Eater** , surely you realize that only people like **Ace of Fuckwits** have civil rights. And you know, we actually have a name on these boards for people who wander around trying to piss other people off. It’s being an asshole here, it’s being an asshole in real life. Actually, if you really want to protest whenever and wherever you want, without a permit, I suggest you lie in front of tank crossings at your local army base. Maybe on the runways at the airforce base. And don’t forget the firing ranges! After all, random civilians aren’t the ones doing the killing, it’s the military that’s doing that. So go inconvenience them. ---

The purpose is to piss you the fuck off and remind you that a far-off war affects you. I repeat, that showing why you believe the war to be immoral and engaging the national conscience does far more to rally broad-based support than your so-far self-indulgent pageants. Dr. King didn’t talk down to people as you do or treat them as sheep to be led. He directly confronted injustice and shamed the nation into ending segregation. You could learn a lot from his example. ---

What I find most amusing about **Acehole** is that in his selfish disregard for the rights of others and his unwillingness to listen to criticism, he has become the thing he is protesting. In their singleminded determination to do what they want and to hell with anyone else, **Acehole** and Dubya are a matched pair. ---
