Flag burners get attacked by bikers[W:634]

It says a lot that you see people who instinctively come to this country's defense as "right wing thugs." I have some phrases of my own to describe people who habitually run this country down, and I can't repeat them here.

A group of America-hating cowards was scared off from their burning of this country's flag by some people who understandably took offense to that vile insult. And it is no surprise to see which posters rush to the defense of the America-hating cowards. I'm always glad to see pseudo-liberals show their true colors--to see them reveal the contempt they have for most things American.

Protesting acts of the government (in this case the police) does not mean you hate your country. It means you don't like some things about your country which is a BIG difference.

One old guy pushed another young guy. That was the only physical altercation. ANd he wasnt arrested, charged or cited. Nothing to cry about.

Burning the national flag? That's the height of politically correct. :)

An argument of semantics is not an argument. You know damn full well the protesters were censored and forced into silence. That isn't okay, that is never okay. It wasn't okay when Radical Islam did it with the art gallery in Texas, and it wasn't okay now. In America you have a right to say and do things that might offend people.

Nobody was "censored and forced into silence". These people can complain about the police all they want, and few really care. Is burning the flag the only way they can make their feelings known? They don;;t seem too bright.
Who the hell said I approve of flag burning? I don't like the West Boro Baptist Church, or their message but I approve of their right to speak their filth without being attacked or physically assaulted.

Right. But speaking and burning are quite different.

No, burning the national flag is not at all being politically correct. It is the antithesis of it.

No one was burning the flag to be politically correct:roll: To believe so is illogical. The actually act of burning the flag is anything but politically correct. These people burned the flag to make a statement against something they perceived unjust about the government. In this particular case, police brutality.

How else would you describe an instance where physical violence was used to end a peaceful protest?

And yes, you have a right to burn a flag. Just like WBC has a right to put up signs that read "Fags burn in hell" in public or for a preacher to go out and scream "the end is neigh." Free speech is free speech in this country, no matter how much you may disagree with the content being said.

Incorrect. I don't mind the political's opinions, I just hate the politicals themselves. A lot of their views have merit actually.

So then you're okay with people you disagree with being assaulted on the merit that their opinions differ from your own?

You realize political correctness is anti-nation and pro-globalism?

You seem to think political correctness is a synonym for "consideration" or "polite". It isn't, its a social tool which allows a person to retain moral integrity while doing whatever they please.

The way it works is they have a set of rules. As long as you play by those rules anything else goes. And if you want to break the rules that's ok too. The way that's done is to accuse as many others of breaking the rules a you can. This accumulates you browny points (if you will), which gives you esteem in the eyes of your peers. Which in turn allows you to be as vicious to minorities as you want.

No need to thank me Rabbitcaebannog, I'm happy to share my observations to everyone. Nice avatar by the way. Fine form. Great leaping.

No. I'm okay with people being assaulted if they think it's ok for me to be assaulted for differing in opinion. I'm fully happy to accept different opinions.

Did you make that up? Being politically correct does not mean anti-nation or pro-globalization. It means not offending particular groups. I advise you brush up on your terminology. Also, as an after thought, no one is being vicious to minorities in this case. You really should re read your article before commenting.

Except the protesters in this instance were not calling for your harm and yet you seem to be more than okay with the bikers assaulting their right to free speech.

They're calling for my harm alright. Them, and everyone like them.

They're not calling for your harm. The irony is they are doing the opposite. They are protesting the harm of American citizens from the force of police brutality via public protest in the hopes to stop it.

Where in the protesters message do they explicitly advocate for the harm of anybody? From what I can tell, their goal was nothing of the sort. However, the bikers made it very clear their intention was to harm others.

Wow you're really getting into circle jerk territory here. Think about it, the politically correct thing to do is NOT burn the flag, so by burning the flag they shouldn't attract bullies. You're so desperate to regale a biker GANG that's likely got little or no respect for the police or the law, that you've quite literally bent yourself such that your head is no longer visible. :lamo

Ahh, but when judges refuse to issue legal government contract to same sex couples and people are outraged, that's infringing upon their first amendment rights. But here, that's fine.

Great to see how much integrity some of y'all actually have.
