Not So Loyal Opposition

Just hooligans and anarchists.

When marchers approached the Garden, a police officer was kicked repeatedly in the head by at least one male demonstrator and was listed in serious condition at an unidentified hospital, the police said. There was no immediate word of an arrest in the assault, the police said. As of 9 p.m., the police said there had been eight protest-related arrests.

Apparently, some think that intimidation is an acceptable form of dissent:

. . .delegates to the Republican National Convention were swarmed by protesters dressed in black and swearing at them. Blocks away, delegates engaged in shoving matches with protesters seeking to spoil their night at the theater. And outside "The Lion King" on 42nd Street, a delegate was punched by a protester who ran by.

What a bunch of #$&(@. I suspect that such behavior, odious as it is, will do Sen. Kerry's bid for President no favors.
