I'd say liberal-lead riots are responsible for more deaths than conservative-lead riots."</i><br /><br />First, in what sense were the following riots specifically <i>liberal</i>?:<br />* riots of the 1960s (not sure which ones we're referring to, so be as specific as possible)<br />* the LA riots<br />* the Rodney King riots<br />* <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Organization_Ministerial_Conference_of_1999_protest_activity" rel="nofollow">the WTO riots</a> (my impression was that globalization has at times been at least as much of an issue on the Right -- "keep American jobs at home", etc. -- as on the left -- "Fair Trade" etc.)<br /><br />Second, why did you even bring up the WTO riots, when -- as far as I can tell -- very little damage was done, and the worst of it was the response by the police (typically viewed as being an agent of the Right)?<br /><br />--<br /><br />Maybe I should start posting these occasional comments on <a href="http://progressconservative.com/" rel="nofollow">his blog</a> instead of here, since he seems to not be "following" ETEV anymore. I've kinda sworn off hanging out in conservative blogs until my life is more sane (don't need their additional insanity), but I could make an exception if it seemed worthwhile.Woozlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948248776908775080noreply@blogger.com
