    You do NOT know what you are talking about.....buy the way for those of you that don't know. There was not one arrest at that march and there was no litter left on the lawn.....we are not crazy...you are just not used to people that love there country, people that believe in ethics and good morals...yes there are some left, in fact there are millions.....we marched for you! and your Freedoms!

    I was there and watched this march some acted cival and some did not. I'm surprised they were not more people down on the Mall, cause this was the right first march in many many years. So are you saying that you love your country more than the rest of us?

    I saw no uncivilized behavior. In fact everyone I met was very friendly. It was a great experience. It was history. It was peaceful. And it was ignored or made into something it was not, racist and hateful .

    In fact every march everyone can't be everywhere to see everything. The same could be said about the many anti-war peace marches in the past. Before this administration is through they will quite a few more marches I'm sure and I hope they'll continue to be civil as you say.

    You're not crazy... i never said that (if I did, please, point it out to me and i will apologise). I just believe you are either mis-informed, uninformed or just plain ignorant to what the issues at hand are.
    All of the comments the interviewer said are verifiable.

    You're not crazy you're just ignorant.......typical liberal quote when somebody doesn't agree with them. Are these arguements and name callings really going to get this country anywhere?

    It's obious this reporter was nit picking who he talked to, anybody could make any protests look stupid if they wanted too. Just another example of how the liberals operate. I goota say cosmo, I thought you would know something like that.

    "Typical Liberal"... that one statement tells me a lot about you.
    I don't agree with you because your arguement points are basically pulled out of your ass, instead of based upon factual data to support it. If you can provide me with reasoned, VALID points, i will concede your arguement. When it is 'just your opinion' it's simple a verbal fart that is not worth taking seriously.

    You know that you can edit the title of your thread, right?

    'Is this a racial protests?' is wrong.

    It should read either 'Is this a racial protest?' or 'Are these racial protests?'

    You just don't get it, do you?
    I pointed out that the fringe element does not help... just like the people that showed up dressed as Mr. Spock at Nader rallies in 2000, these people from this sampling does not help. They would be of better service if they just stayed home with the tin foil hats on, agreeing with Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, insted of being seen in public.
    And the interviewer did nothing to make those people look stupid.... they did it themselves by BEING stupid.

  • Everyone who thinks that this protest or whenever someone disagrees with the democrats is racist is in fact themselves the most racist of them all. Our black President even said that he didn't believe race was an factor in the protest. You just don't want to believe what a black man says and that makes you all super-racists!

    Arguement over.

    I don't know where in the march he was but I saw a few of these people acting, carrying on in an uncivil way. I didn't stay down on the Mall long enough to see the many others that acted as if Hitler had invaded their White House. However, I wasn't surprised cause this the right first march in many years and mb26 has to know some where going to act like they just watched Beck/SH. It's worse on SH's website though.

    I gather from this I'm racist too, I didn't vote for him, I disagree with as many things as I do that I agree with. So I don't understand when you say everyone who thinks that this protest or disgrees with dems are racists. I clearly saw some down on the Mall acting like racists.

    ...
    The original post asks the question, 'Are these protests racist?'.
    Most of the people here say, 'No'.
    As for the arguement being over... it would be over IF there were people who didn't simply disagree with President Obama's administration based on race. Can you verify that not one person in America feels this way? I'm guessing you answer would be, 'No'.
    Also, there are some people who say Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are racists... myself being one.
    The thing see about racism in America is this... people who have never been the subject of racism tend to believe it does not exist or is not widespread. Those people who have been subjected to racism tend to believe it occurs to everyone, everywhere. Neither is true. Racism exists because racists exists. Playing the race card where it does not exist is the same as excusing racism by attaching something else to it.

    "Typical Liberal"... that one statement tells me a lot about you.
    I don't agree with you because your arguement points are basically pulled out of your ass, instead of based upon factual data to support it. If you can provide me with reasoned, VALID points, i will concede your arguement. When it is 'just your opinion' it's simple a verbal fart that is not worth taking seriously

    I have been feeling a little gassy lately.

    Where do you get factual data? How can you tell what is actually factual these days? No matter where you get your information, chances are some of it is not factual. If everything you know is so factual and bulletproof why don't you go on t.v. and share with the rest of us, we could all use some factual data these days actually knowing that it is factual.

    Factual data exists.
    Fact: The House Bill (HR 32000) states nothing about 'Death Panels'. Another fact, nothing about providing Federal Credits for Health Care to Illegal Immigrants.
    Another fact... Joe Wilson (R-SC) of 'You Lie! fame... voted for providing Health Care to Illegal immigrants:
    "... in 2003, Wilson voted to provide federal funds for illegal immigrants’ healthcare. The vote came on the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, which contained Sec. 1011 authorizing $250,000 annually between 2003 and 2008 for government reimbursements to hospitals who provide treatment for uninsured illegal immigrants. The program has been extended through 2009 and there is currently a bipartisan bill in Congress to make it permanent."
    ref. http://www.opencongress.org/articles/vi ... Healthcare
    ...
    THAT is how I form my opinions... opinions based in fact, not what some ramdom guy says. I wonder if those Tea Party people with their 'Joe Wilson For President' signs know this.
