Why was the DNC much more peaceful than the RNC has been so far?

Question

Last week, there were some minor protests at the DNC.

However, this week at the RNC, the police have been in riot gear and have already used tear gas on several occasions to break up the crowds.

Why is there so much turmoil at the RNC?

Could this be the reason: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al4E6HCmEoEc9BatzqSc9DTty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080903055057AAQbZgf

Thoughts?

Answer 1

Democrats on far-left are pretending to be peace loving until you ignore them. " I will not be ignored DAN !!"

Answer 2

yeah and they even beat up some old people that were delegates. Way cool you idiot Liberal fools

Answer 3

The only explaination is, Non Republicans are violent animals.

Answer 4

Because it's the typical liberal hypocrisy...we want peace and we'll use violence to get it.

Answer 5

To put it simply it is because the far left is comprised of people who are "nuts". The violence you are talking about was initiated by a group of anti-war protesters who proceeded to attack the delegation from Connecticut. Don't you think that is a little odd for "peace" activists.  

Answer 6

The protesters probably ran out of crack.  Might make them a bit testy.

Answer 7

Dan the Man needs to check his history, see who was in control when we got into all these wars. Check and see who divided the house to create the Republic Democrat and the Socialist Democrat that most people do not even realize.  

Answer 8

America is fed up with the repulicans---they are like communists---they only cater to the Rich!!!!!!   America is fed up!!!! We are turning into a 3rd world country because of them and the Bush Jr Administration---that is why-----WE ARE FED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Answer 9

Because its the Republican Party that has gotten us into wars that we should not be in....pretty simple to understand, really.

Answer 10

Republicans only understand the language of violence!  You can only talk to them with a Molotov cocktail in one hand.

Answer 11

Two reasons:

First, organized protesters are usually championing liberal causes. That's just how it works.

Secondly, the GOP is the party in power, and the party in power will naturally attract more protesters than the opposition party.

Answer 12

The main reason is that the far left has more loons than the far right.  Actually the protesters at the DNC were the far left loons too.  

Answer 13

Because Republicans believe in freedom of speech and don't protest or attempt too incite riots at the DNC.

What you seeing iat the RNC s the ugly side of those liberals who think that if you have a view that opposes thiers, you are evil.

Answer 14

Maybe because the Republican party has a long history of NOT LISTENING and NOT ATTENDING TO THE ISSUES  unless it translates into money in their pockets and some people are just that angry at being ignored, judged, and looked down at.  Good thing mobs don't behead their self absorbed, unconcerned leaders anymore huh?

Answer 15

All the radicals are DNC.  Also Republicans tend to have jobs so we keep busy.

Answer 16

hippie dems are idiots

Answer 17

Republicans do not riot, pillage and protest like fanatical liberals do.

Answer 18

That is how most of  sane America feels.The lost years od America by Bush and company.

Answer 19

because the violent protesters tend to side with the democrats and if this was like 1968 when there was a possibility of choice at the convention they might have been there but since it was decided before the convention they are stirring up trouble for the opposition

Answer 20

Simple - because the Republicans have ruined this country and peope want it back.

Answer 21

It stands to reason that the protesters at the RNC are democrats. It is the anti-war "peace-loving" democrats who are more violent! How ironic.

Answer 22

Anarchists.  

Answer 23

Your a commie arent ya?
