Community Organizing

At least the title pre-Godwinned the thread, so we can leave it the way we found it.

If you check the rules on "Godwin", you will note that when the topic is actually concerning Hitler, Nazi's or related, then Godwin does not apply.

So for example, CBS is reporting violence breaking out at many of the town hall meetings.<blockquote>"One conservative African-American activist, who was taken to the emergency room of a local hospital with injuries, told the newspaper that another black man used a racial slur against him and then physically attacked him."</blockquote>Who attacked this conservative black man? Source (s) suggest it was an SEIU union thug, one of many who were packed into the meeting from the side door, while hundreds of citizens were denied entry at the main entrance.

That sounds like what "Brown Shirts" do, does it not? You know, rough up the organized opposition and dissenters at the meetings. I'm just not sure which side the neo-SA are on, or maybe there are thugs on both sides.

Edit: I found the *raw* feed for the St. Louis attack on that guy on Youtube. But, then again, this strays off topic. This whole vilification things is what is wrong with the debate, and what leads the politically neutered to lash out at each other when yelling and chanting slogans won't change their minds. Do you remember any of the protests from a few years ago, where it was Bush=Hitler? So, the its the same tactics, just the Democrats who are wearing the horns now. Does it help us work through these issues? Is this the "Change" we were hoping for?
