    Republicans are too old, fat and lazy to get off the coach to protest...So they hide in corners and makeup stories of how angelic they be.

    Kicking in the sides of passing cars is free speech?

    Let those Professional athletes know that, before they go out to the mob of fans that want autographs from them.

    Yep. The Boston Tea Party? A mob. The Sons of Liberty? Mobs. The people killed at the Boston Massacre? Mob.

    America was founded by mobs.

    So, do you want civil war?
    Are Democrats being taxed without representation?
    Have the Republicans burned Democrat cities to the ground?

    Or for instance, dress like Native Americans and sneak onto a boat to destroy several million dollars in private property?

    The American Revolution began with the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.
    The British had shelled and burned several colonial cities and towns before the Revolution. Norfolk, Charlestown, Falmouth come to mind.

    The British had taxed colonists without representation. The British military had quartered its troops in the homes of the colonists, and the right to trial by jury was suspended years before independence was declared. Has any of that happened to Democrats?

    Expect them to be called bad guys by the mob and the mob's supporters. That's all this is.

    Where is this? They aren't the ones with signs that read, "Hate speech isn't free speech."

    verb
    1. 1.
      crowd around (someone) in an unruly and excitable way in order to admire or attack them.
    its 'mob rule' not as in 'rule by a mob' but as in 'to rule in an unruly and excitable way' as unlimited democracy innevitably will. The constitution limits the 51% from pulling the nation around by their emotional responses.

    There are no mobs.

    This is just the latest GOP scare tactic.

    Gotta have something to be outraged about

    Because mobs detest being called what they act like, or appear to be? If not that, then what?

    Every mob that I have ever observed were filled with hate, negativity and out of control emotions. That is what creates a mob in the first place. You ever seen a loving mob? Me either.

    When emotions are stronger than logic, reason, rationality, you get mobs. And they are not specifically left or right, democrat or republican. Mob mentality, mob behavior knows no particular political affiliation.

    Some of us, simply refuse to indulge in that behavior and that is a key difference in some human beings. But some of us place great value upon being cultured and civilized too, while others wallow and delight in the base side of human nature with no desire to arise above it. Some people find gratification in such behavior which is why we have criminals and non criminals in all societies. If they didn't "get off" on it, they would not sink down to the level that manifests it.

    So, it is an individual character deficit, a moral deficit, and we have plenty of those kind of people in this world.

    When all you can do is parrot the lying liberal media's lies, do you understand why no one is paying attention to you?

    The LOSING PARTY of elections since 2010 is more obligated to compromise than the winning party. If you want power, you damn sure won't get it with mob action.

    Get a grip on reality,

    Steve

    :roflol:

    AGAIN?

    That same TIRED talking point about elections (that you've used 5000 timrs)?:roflol:

    You seriously need some new material.

    Nothing personal of course, just saying.

    And this whole obsessive "Mob Rule" thing is making the RW look fixated and foolish.

    A mob seems to me to be the public exerting extrajudicial power through violent means.
