The difference should be obvious. If townhall meetings were disrupted, that's all that was disrupted. No police, no disruption of commerce or the lives of the general populace. Not so with the protests in NY and elsewhere.


of course the tea party wouldn't disrupt commerce... the corporations and billionaires funding the tea party wouldn't allow that.

i for one cannot believe that anyone would be opposed to the protests at the scene of the crime of the financial meltdown.

if only they were building a mosque in the area around wall street... then we'd have some acceptable protests.
