Answer 6

Protesters yes

Rioters no

Libs generally can't tell the difference

Answer 7

Not if they're being violent and endangering peoples' lives.

Answer 8

10,000 non-violent demonstrators and less than 300 arrested (including many press doing their job taking video).

Who has the most to gain by dismissing the demonstrators as mad anarchists wearing black masks?

The FBI was well-known for using agents to provoke anti-war groups to violence so they could be arrested. Now it seems the Secret Service is doing Bush's work with preemptive arrests.

No, it takes a special sort of policeman to do what was done recently in Saint Paul.

Preemptive arrest=Police State

“Since Friday, local police and sheriffs, working with the FBI, conducted preemptive searches, seizures and arrests. Glenn Greenwald described the targeting of protestors by "teams of 25-30 officers in riot gear, with semi-automatic weapons drawn, entering homes of those suspected of planning protests, handcuffing and forcing them to lay on the floor, while law enforcement officers searched the homes, seizing computers, journals, and political pamphlets." Journalists were detained at gunpoint and lawyers representing detainees were handcuffed at the scene.”
