Tips for Left-Wing Protesters
Note to leftist protesters...this is why no one takes you seriously.
You just wont often see conservative protesters acting like fools when they protest. The left has nearly the sole right to deranged protesters. Bush lied, people died as a protest message? The many anti-war protests the peace hippies put on around the world, and they're banners made Bush into satan, a monster, Hitler, Bush eating babies, Bush with oil and blood all around him...just a bunch of insane nonsense. You will rarely see this from the right in protests. You have the fringe idiots with their idiotic signs proclaiming that "faggots burn in hell" or abortion doctors will be damnned to eternal hellfire, that sort of thing...but thankfully, they're shown little respect by the media and not given much coverage in the end. On the other hand, the media loves to show the peace hippies and their anti-war, Bush as Hitler posters, their absurd chants of blood for oil (wait, where IS all that oil we supposedly removed a brutal murderer from power for?), and so on.
Thankfully, you don't see reports of insane right leaning protesters kicking and screaming inside the democratic national convention, but unfortunately for the left (a fortunate situation for the right), insane ranting lunatics make regular appearances for the liberal-minded among us.
Note to left wing protesters- act like adults, don't spread conspiracy theories, try not to look like loons, don't protest playing hand-made drums while wearing dirty shorts and a tank top, and for the love of God- wash your stringy hair! After you do these things, you MIGHT have a chance of being taken seriously...until then, nearly all of your protests will be seen as insane rantings from the fringe.
