I remember old people being physically accosted at the RNC convention in Minneapolis, for example.

Ah yes the Ron Paul supporters, outside and inside the convention, I remember it well too. It made all the papers. After the rabid right demonized the democrats for it in the media a few days until it was found that they were Ron Paul supporters, then you could have heard a pin drop, instead of apologies.  But the rabid right has never bothered with fact. 

Unless you are talking about the republican that was busted in an airport bathroom for trying to suck off some other republicans but got a cop instead, but that was for cause he got roughed up,  and he was guilty.

An anti-war protester takes part in a demonstration in front of the White House over the weekend,...

quote:

More than 100 anti-war protesters, including the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers, were arrested outside the White House on Saturday in demonstrations marking the eighth anniversary of the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

The protesters, some shouting anti-war slogans and singing We Shall Not Be Moved, were arrested after ignoring orders to move away from the gates of the White House. The demonstrators cheered loudly as Daniel Ellsberg, the former military analyst who in 1971 leaked the Pentagon's secret history of the Vietnam War that was later published in major newspapers, was arrested and led away by police.

In New York City, about 80 protesters gathered near the U.S. military recruiting center in Times Square, chanting "No to war" and carrying banners that read, "I am not paying for war" and "Butter not guns."

quote:



It happened in 2007, when tens of thousands congregated on the National Mall and heard actors Sean Penn, Jane Fonda and Danny Glover speak out against President George W. Bush and the war in Iraq. It happened in 1991, when throngs rallied against U.S. involvement in the first Gulf War. And it has happened more than a dozen other times since the March on Washington for Peace in Vietnam in 1965.

Now, despite the U.S. military's concurrent and costly entanglements, the National Mall is quiet and the streets of Washington are pretty much protester-free.

The lack of noise and the apparent nonchalance raises the question: Where have all the protesters gone?

Lies. Lies and more lies.  Do you know people can click those and see you lie?

Those are conservative violence by lawless republican thugs and goons, the first one tried to kill a 10 year old girl and her father. The last one is real republicans fearing for their life from their own party.

Or do you mean you want me to cite the paul supporters thing,

It has everything to do with what you claimed, originally. This violence is being perpetrated by rightists, real goons and thugs, we see it all over.  Leftists are peacful and sociable.  

Ellsberg would be a rightist, since he was military, and you have assured us the military is republican.
