Remember Fox News On G-20 Protests - Where Was The Strong Defense Of Their Free Speech Rights?
Edited on Fri Aug-07-09 06:58 PM by TomCADem
The real hypocrisy is not the tactics, but the way these tactics are framed. When the right engages in such disruptive conduct designed to disrupt the townhalls, then such actions are portrayed as the honorable exercise of free speech rights.

Police in central London are on alert for possible further unrest after a day of violent protests by G20 demonstrators.

Around lunchtime, riot police had to be sent in after activists attacked a uniformed officer and stormed a branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland in the City, London's financial district.

A handful of people with black scarves obscuring their faces and hoods over their heads smashed a hole in the windows with a metal pole and crawled in.

Protesters removed equipment, painted graffiti on the walls, threw a chair through a window and started a small fire.
