We had a rather horrible attack on two Republicans in NOLA. The head of the Louisiana Republican party was there and gave an interview recently. He was there and gave his viewpoint:
In an interview this afternoon, Louisiana GOP Chair Roger Villere, Jr. told Lincoln Parish News Online he and several others were pursued by protesters last Friday night after a political fundraiser, but managed to get into a cab and avoid the mob. “We started to leave out the front door after the event, but the protesters had us blocked – there were six of us in our group – so we went out through the kitchen,” Villere said. Once they got outside, the protesters spotted them and began to pursue them, but they managed to get into a cab and avoid confrontation......
But then he says
Villere opined that what started out as a peaceful protest was infiltrated by “professional agitators” who were in New Orleans to protest the Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC) that was held last weekend.
See that!!! He made a point of not trying to portray good American people that were exercising their right of protest and political expression as a dangerous kooky mob. He made the point of saying these criminals were not part of the main crowd.
I wonder when Tea Party critics (and critics of anyone that appears to show up at GOP Rallies) will see the wisdom of doing the same.
