I was just wondering if every President that has been elected in like the last 30 years or so ends up with massive amounts of protesters at all of their public events. I didnt really follow politics very much till George W. made it to office, and started sending some of my friends to foreign lands for no good reason. If other presidents before G. W. were not getting mass amounts of protesters, doesnt that say a lot about how shitty of a president G. W . is? If other presidents before him DID get mass amounts of protesters then just ignore me. I was really surprised that there were a bunch of protesters in Tucson yesterday, and if they were in Tucson im sure most other big cities had lots of them too. Some are calling G. W a uniter LOL. I think NOT.

Not trying to be rude, but you have learned about the Vietnam war and the hippies?

I can certainly say that the protesters have been pretty constant since that point if not earlier.

Protests are usually the domain of either the left or the radical right. The mainstream right usually feels they have better ways of influencing public opinion than screaming in public.

So basically what you are saying is that ALL of the presidents in the last 30 years have had MASS amounts of protesters during ALL of their public events? Because if they did I sure didnt see it on the news during those times.

No, they didn't. The difference is people tend to get a lot more fired up when Americans are dying overseas.

So now we are going to say ALL presidents with MASS protesters at ALL public events?

Realistically I cannot answer that unless I was at every single event, but neither can you say that Bush has had such treatment for every single public event. Nor does it really matter.

The important thing you need to realize is that every President has had a very large number of protesters in one form or another. As Ddrak pointed out they can take different forms depending on your leaning.

Nixon - Vietnam, Watergate
Ford - Vietnam
Carter - Oil shortages, Hostages in Mideast
Reagan - Iran Contra, Taxes
Bush - Taxes, Gulf War
Clinton - Ken Starr Investigations

This is not all of the events for each President, but it certainly were some of them.

Ford - Vietnam

So much for your historical perspective. Ford: Inflation, pardoning Nixon, falling down and hitting his head a lot.

I am curious about protesters at an inauguration however.

Seeing how I was not even alive when it happened the fact that I never claimed to have a great historical perspective was appropriate as well as the admission that there were more protests on different areas as well.

Yeah, and I was four years old when Saigon fell, Rsak, it's not like I have any memory of it either.

It's called a history book. Read it.

C'mon Beek.. ease up on Rsak. Asking him to read a book with the hope he might actually comprehend something is a little far fetched. And it still amazes me that you guys engage him in debate. He's shown himself to be incapable of logical thought, and its just a waste of time. Hell, I don't even read his monkey-speak anymore because I find myself feeling sorry for the moron, and I hate to pity anybody.

yeah I think most of us have automatically skipped past his posts for quite some time now. Except beek who is either a dirty sick leetle monkey who likes pain way too much, or is kinda like jesus.

You too, Embar? Makes you feel kinda ugh in the stomach, doesn't it.

good lord beeker sounds like you've got a craving for CC (conservative cock)

Post by **Relbeek Einre** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 12:47 pm

Who Rsak? He's no conservative. He's not anything except crazy.

Post by **Relbeek Einre** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 12:48 pm

Oh, and the only thing I want with his cock is to render it incapable of continuing his genetic line.

Grygonos Thunderwulf · Fri Jan 21, 2005 12:52 pm

was talking about you buddying up with embar.

Don't be jealous Gryg.. I'll save some of my man chowder for you too.

Get over yourselves..

Excuse me for not being able to name additional conetentious areas of public outcry during the Ford administration. It is such key and vital information that volumes of books are devoted to the subject.

The war was still being fought when he became the President and was protested until the fall of Saigon if not later which was 8 months after he assumed office.

Go stroke your cocks elsewhere because the accurate point that was made answered the question.
