That’s life: There are angry, rude people on both sides
There is anger on the right. There is anger on the left. A case in point involves a scantily clad very boisterous young woman walking a very large dog outside the Renaissance Hotel in St. Louis Monday, cussing at a group of us who were peacefully holding John McCain signs and “Obama = Change We Can’t Afford”. We were protesting Barack Obama without yelling, without cussing, and without name-calling. She cussed at us and ordered us off of “her street” (we were actually on the sidewalk). The hotel’s kitchen staff were also yelling at us and calling us names along with her. The young woman said we are all “rich white people”. She was white. The woman next to me was black. And the people inside were rich folks who paid $500 to $2,300 to see Sen. Obama. She was misinformed and hypocritical. But she was a liberal.
I would not treat you that way. Rush Limbaugh would not even yell at you in your driveway in front of your kids. There are whackos on both sides. C’est la vie (that’s life), unfortunately.

Sounds like thoughtful and considerate liberals practicing inclusive compassion to me. Did you see Eric Mink and Kevin Horrigan there?
