Tractor-trailer drivers will intentionally clog the inner loop of the Washington, D.C., beltway beginning on the morning of Oct. 11, according to a coordinator of the upcoming "Truckers Ride for the Constitution" rally.Organizers of the three-day ride want to call attention to a litany of trucker frustrations and express their disapproval of national political leaders.
Earl Conlon, a Georgia trucker who is handling logistics for the protest, told U.S. News tractor-trailer drivers will circle the beltway "three lanes deep" as he rides with other participants to Congress to seek the arrest of congressmen for allegedly disregarding the Constitution.

'Truckers for the Constitution' Plan to Slow D.C. Beltway, Arrest Congressmen - US News and World Report

Right on brothers, and sisters!!! I hope DC gets shutdown for real!
 
As much as I admire their passion and dedication, i think if they try to arrest congressmen they could be charged with kidnapping.

Really were members of groups on the left charged with kidnapping when they attempt to arrest people like Cheney, or Rove?

So wait a minute here. You've criticized groups like OWS for causing disruption and now you cheer on a group using a similiar tactic added with possible kidnapping? Hypocrisy much?

I would certainly hope so.

You expected otherwise?

Oh, so wait, you thought that we, as conservatives would just stand by and allow your side to get away with this sort of crap? No, it is time to give you back your own medicine....Don't like it do ya?

Well since I never supported OWS "shutting down" places, it isn't "my" medicine to take, however, your hypocrisy is showing quite well. How do you like becoming what you hate?

Sometimes you have to fight fire, with fire...Oh, and for the record, your Alinsky tactic will not work.
 
Is that like 'Hope, and Change'? Because the answer is NO, they weren't.

No, that is like what I think is appropriate. I don't base it on who is doing something or who it is done to...

So you now agree with what you called "illegal tactics" because it's your side doing, got it. You're a ****ing hypocrite.
 
Only giving what you dish out....Can't take it, get out of the political kitchen.

I love it when people blame their hypocrisy on others.

I love it when some Cons show their true hypocrisy. They lose all credibility, J-mac now has none.
 
Do you have a point here, or are you only in here to provoke, and disrupt....? Stick to the topic.

The topic is truck drivers doing what you called "illegal" when another group did it and now you support it because it is YOUR group. Yes, you are a hypocrite and we know. Thank you.
 
Right on brothers, and sisters!!! I hope DC gets shutdown for real!

The realization these retards command 80,000 pounds of material is chilling.
 
OTRs are happy to have the Interstates built by the progressive Eisenhower.
OTRs are furious at House Repubs for sabotaging the Trsnsportation!
 
Ok, do the protesters rights supersede the rights of others not involved in the protest to go about their day, get to work, conduct business, live in their homes un-accosted, etc?

....Are the police restricted from enforcing the law because some people want to assemble and break laws?

....no permit to shut down the highway...

Maybe we will all get to see some more pepper spraying cop images. :lamo

Sure thing hypocrite, sure thing. You have ZERO credibility.

Major differences between OWS, and Truckers driving the posted speed on a highway. But you know that...Nothing illegal here at all...But what you are saying is that free speech is only for those you agree with...Thanks for unmasking yourself....AGAIN....

Yep, and how does that coincide with what the truckers are doing? If they break the law, they run the risk of being arrested also. Sorry UM, your comparison only shows that you are adept at pulling quotes from the past, not that it shows anything relevant, just that you can do it. Congratulations.
