and DUmmies wonder why they are loathed.

You don't remember groups of FReepers outside the Naval Observatory in 2000 chanting...

Get out of Cheney's house!
Get out of Cheney's house!
Get out of Cheney's house!

How is this that different?

AlGore still credits that experience with much of his motive to concede the election.

before my time, Carry

did FReepers do that?

did they actually go up and pound on the windows?
did they even cross the bounds and onto the property?
isn't the Naval Observatory a government property, instead of a private residence?

Well, for one, Gore was an elected representative and thus opens himself up to the people, who have a right to petition their grievances. Rove has no such status. Second, The Naval Observatory is an "official" government owned residence belonging to "We the People," whereas Karl Rove's residence is a private residence.

I hope you see the logic of the difference.
