Demonstrators Swarm Around Rove's Home

Ironic that it is considered by the liberals to be proper to protest at the residence of a right wing politician, but had those protesters been doing the same at the home of an abortionist, all hell would be breaking loose.

A person's home is their residence, it's where they live. Want to protest where they work, fine, do that. But to harass at home just is too much.

Not that a liberal would ever understand such a sane position.

Speaking of which, as anyone notified immigration to check the legal status of these protesters?

I hope they grafitti his house.

Works for me.

Put a fork in this country.

Problem is Americans are childish when it comes to immigration and think we must help every 3rd worlder who plops himself down at our door step. It's a guilt complex. Plus there is a lot less pride in America as a great, sovereign nation. Replaced by an infantile "We are the World" philosophy

Something about this scene makes me think of French aristocrats under siege from peasants during the French Revolution.

It's coming --- that's why we need them to stay home --- we're bringing the next Mexican Revolution to the USA. See what happens if you ever try to cut their food stamps or free health care.

Wondering 2 things:

Who really is this group, "National Peoples'Action" and who finances them?

Do we really want as immigrants people like these who think their "rights" are something provided for them by government?

"..... but a man's home is his castle and should be treated as such."

Agreed. They have the right to protest but not trespass. Knocking on his windows for Pete's sake. Can you imagine the outcry if FReepers had dane this to a dim? FReepers have class unlike these people. News reports I saw portrayed Rove as mean for wanting them OFF HIS PROPERTY. Bus loads? Who bused them in?

[Paul Ross]

Ditto.

Funny to see Bush's amnesty on immigration causing some unintended consquences for him. If current trends continue in about 5 years that crowd will be about 30% bigger.

Hehehe, it's been a day since I first heard about this and I'm still laughing. This couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. Rove, you reap what you sow and I hope more and more illegals besiege your home. Let the jerk see what it feels like.
