					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Perhaps he was the reasonable one? Perhaps he was mad because queen Hippo was there to pcik a fight instead of talking with McCaskill? Perhaps he tore up the poster because she wasnt supposed to have it? Perhaps he did what the police said because he is a law abing citizen? Duh Frenchie.&quot; â?? Mike H&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Full story (quite old): The black woman had a Rosa Parks poster. The &quot;no poster rule&quot; was not made known before the event (other people did have posters). When told of it, she rolled up the poster and placed it on a chair in front of her. A photographer requested to see it, so she unrolled it in her lap. At that time the white man ran up, grabbed the poster, and ripped it up. A group of officers remove her; one officer removes him. And then a massive crowd of white people start cheering.

Now, Mike...seriously. You are suggesting this man violated all recognized forms of civility, order, rule, and decorum, and assaulted a woman &lt;i&gt;out of a respect for rules&lt;/i&gt;? That is absurd. And as far as him being &quot;reasonable&quot;, well, that&#039;s a HUGE &quot;perhaps&quot;.

You are suggesting she came to &quot;pick a fight&quot;. She was sitting quietly. It&#039;s those on the right who continuously use these forums to &quot;pick fights&quot;. I&#039;m fairly sure that somebody running up on you, grabbing your personal possession, and destroying it would be &quot;picking a fight&quot; in your mind (unless they were black, in which case it would be a mugging).

One can only imagine what she felt, as one of a small hand full of brown faces surrounded by jeering, screaming white faces, foaming at the mouth with bulging veins, as she is attacked and then escorted away.

Finally, how is Rosa Parks threatening? It&#039;s not even a statement on health care. Oh, but she &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; black...and the lady is too. So is Obama. Hmmm...interesting.

					<description><![CDATA[Mike H&#039;s use of the word &quot;perhaps&quot; deserves an answer. I looked up the YouTube video that shows the incident from a different angle (I&#039;m not going to give you clues on how to find it Mikey; sooner or later you&#039;re going to have to start thinking for yourself). The woman is sitting in her seat and is approached by some unidentified woman, and the two seem to be in discussion. During this time the Rosa Parks &quot;flag&quot; (it was apparently made of cloth)was sitting FOLDED on a chair in front of the African American woman. While the two women were in discussion a man rose from his seat, crossed the aisle and grabbed the &quot;flag&quot;, then seemed to be trying to rip it. It was an unprovoked assault and the &quot;flag&quot; wasn&#039;t even being displayed. 
  I have no problem with police removing the woman to get evidence or for her safety. The problem is that the news report didn&#039;t even attempt to present the events in any descriptive way and McCaskill ended her description of the events before giving a complete review. 
   Considering his actions the man in the blue shirt was no gentleman. He was as presumptuous as Mike H is in his description of the woman&#039;s blood chemistry.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Unless he&#039;s spamming, what&#039;s the problem?  We can respond, or ignore him, but I sure hope you&#039;ve never considered blocking him.

It&#039;s far preferable that he spend his time arguing on blogs than shouting at town hall meetings.  Here he&#039;s not drowning anyone else out who has something to say.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You know, maybe we should let the little dolt stay.  I mean, he&#039;ll just go somewhere else.  And it must be lonely for him.  I can&#039;t believe his bio on his site is honest.  How many engineers do you know who can take as much time as he takes during the work day to post his drivel.  So I&#039;m guessing he&#039;s a night stock boy at some convenience store.  And I&#039;m pretty sure no woman would have anyone as obviously sexist and sizist as he is.  So he&#039;s home all alone, with no exercise but what his happy fun time hand gets looking at goat pictures.  I change my vote to let him stay.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m beginning to lean that way, Gwenny.  

I have no problem being described by a single property I do happen to have, so calling me &quot;Frenchie&quot; in an attempt at riling me up is amusing.  Sure, I was being a bit unfair by referring to you using three accurate adjectives, but as they&#039;re accurate, and not particularly vulgar, I don&#039;t see where I deserve the epithet &quot;potty mouth&quot;.  If you&#039;d like, I could come up with at least a dozen particularly vulgar epithets that still accurately describe you that makes &quot;prick&quot; pale in comparison.  And I won&#039;t even have to resort to switching to French!]]></description>
