however I was thinking more of 1960s-type riots that I remember,
the deaths and destruction, the military-enforced curfews like we had in Cincinnati, the attacks on white commuters caught in traffic dragged from cars and beaten like we had in Cincinnati -- this went on in cities all over the country. The threat of another riot was constant.
That is what was meant by "[fanning] the flames of the racial issue and have real unrest" I hardly think that a confrontation between two groups on a nearby street qualifies.
Most important is whether the entire Rat Party was in on it or not.. I personally believe that the media's constant news reports about the "will of the people" was coordinated with the Rat Party activists to use riots, deaths and destruction to pressure Bush to yield to Gore.
And if Al Gore prevented that I think we should thank him for it.
My point is that I don’t believe the Gores’ re-write of history.
Really, I don’t think there was the emotion from the grassroots Dems on the Gore-Bush challenge that will exist if Romney beats Obama. Think of the different responses to the assassinations of JFK/RFK and MLK. I lived in NY and/or DC in the 60’s and 70’s. We had the race riots, we had the anti-war riots, we had the MLK riots, we had the I need a cause riots. The potential for that never existed during the Bush/Gore recount days.
Post of the day!
Dead link. :(
While everyone understands that politics can become heated and ones passion can overtake them, it should not result in violence. It seems though that both sides bear some bit of responsibility in this manner.
The Dims threaten to kill, the other side calls Obama a Communist. Yeah, both sides are the same.
Unless these folks are close friends of Obama, they did better under Bush 2, and they’ll do better under Romney.
I’m impressed- I believe I called for disenfranchised libs to retreat.
Here, we have some strategies, as well.

Yes, seriously.
