That is because, at heart, most of them are marcxists and tyrant-wannabes. Socialsim is Marxism and Communism light, and it leads there. And both of those have been the root of some of the most horrific and murderous tyrannies in the history of this earth.
To me, it would not too surprising that the adherants and proponents of Cindy Sheehans hate-filled, anti-American messages, might ultimately resort to the same tactics as their allies...the inusrgent/terrorists.
Yes, but isn't it a pitiful commentary on their former bad boy status that they threaten gift shops?> Time was, they barked and people scattered. Now the best they can do is scare souvenir vendors? HAH. I laugh at their impotent tactics. They need their a**es beat with those huge plastic sunglasses.
Back in the not so great 60s and 70s, it wasn't that uncommon for the so-called 'peaceniks' to lob rocks or bricks at the police, even if they weren't arresting anyone.

Violence on the part of the Left is practically mainstream. Even in the U.S. Leftist agitators are responsible for union violence, race riots back in the '30s and '40s, and the riot at the Democratic National Convention back in '68.

It'd be really unwise of these nutjobs to attempt something of that nature.
Take a Spielberg pan-back to an elevation of 1000 feet..
do they realize what they are in the middle of???
Rural Texans are not an easily terrorized Starbucks crowd.
They run toward explosions.
Guess that's why Islam's no biggie for them - birds of a feather!
