    You make the typical idiot's error, by assuming that lack of condemnation means that I embrace it. I take no position, since the data is incomplete. You, on the other hand, happily jump to conclusions for the sake of an unsustainable argument that happens to resonate with your biases.

    Well, hell, based on that standard of evidence, we can claim that the Hindenburg crashed and burned because a UFO shot it down. Of course we can, because the UFO attack happens "before the clip begins", right?

    Nah, try again. With evidence.

    The evidence of her actions is not incomplete. You refuse to evaluate it based on the apparent assumption that there simply must be something that justifies it. That's the evidence of your bias in her favor.

    So, based on her actions, which are on display, what is your position regarding her actions? Y'know, leaving out all the pretend shit you wish was evident in order to make her sympathetic, and going only by what she actually did.

    Yes, there simply must be something. People don't suddenly become enraged. There is something that precedes it. What was it? If you answer that leftists are just always angry, you lose, but that's in fact the argument you're making in this thread. Your bigotry is showing.

    I believe she wasn't fit to captain a starship, and her morality was all over the place. They would have been better off with Chakotay in command.

    From the evidence that actually exists, "it" is the fact of somebody voicing an opinion she disagrees with. How do we know? Because we can actually see her getting angrier and angrier when nobody's doing anything to provoke her other than just standing there in support of their own opinion, which is sufficient to inform us that people standing there in support of their own opinion was enough to set her off in the first place.

    What is also clear is that there's no reasonable defense for her behavior. Nobody's in her face yelling profanities at her. There's no evidence that she was followed -- she's not moving away from these people and yelling. They're stationary, and she's the one yelling. Your pretend scenario where she's being aggressed upon and is responding in kind is pure fiction, and the fact that you'd resort to inventing it to excuse her inexcusable behavior shows your bigotry plainly.

    They'd have been better off with John Castle in command than her. At least then the crew would have laughed at his orders and gotten drunk and died. That beats Captain Janeway by the proverbial mile and then some.

    Conversely, the over use of the word 'thug' pretty much gives away the users orientation as a righty/neocon/chickenhawk/whatever they're calling themselves this week.
    That word is straight out of their playbook. :shrug:

    What a load of nonsense. I have no interest in condoning her actions, but you are talking about a bunch of people who have stood in the middle of a major metropolitan city with placards and pictures of unborn fetuses on an issue that is highly contentious in America. Can they be really surprised if they get angry reactions? They could well have been looking for a fight just to create this kind of video so that proles like you could watch it and see "see, look at what they're like"! As Packard point out, not only do we not see the exchange prior to the bit on YouTube, we also have no way of knowing if this was a set up. So don't be an idiot and buy into crap you see on YouTube. At the end of the day there are fuckwits on both side of the political spectrum - and frankly at a time when the right is being undermined by huge public figures like Sarah Palin and the denizens of The Tea Party, it seems rather a weak counterpoint to try and pick a random person off the street to prove that the left have the same. There are plenty of left wing nutjob politicians to go after.

    She works at Burger King, I'm pretty sure your theory is accepted as proven fact.

    Warning! If the following offends you, you need to lighten up or you were meant to be offended: <rant> There is no excuse for when dialog fails. There was no reason for her to destroy those signs. Ignorance is the enemy, not the whackos' on the other political wing from you. As a conservative I happen to believe that abortion is wrong and I take offence that because I happen to be male or happen to be a Christian that my opinion is automatically invalidated. My race shouldn't have a thing to do with it either but that's for a different post </rant>

    I'm sure no one in the "OMG, this woman is so terrible!" camp has ever had their way blocked by protestors of any stripe or, if they have, they've been polite, said "Excuse me!" to those waving signs in their faces, and quietly gone about their business. They've probably never even bitched about the experience on WF...

    If the pro-lifers had bad bodily odors, and the chick was complaining about the funk, THEN WF would care about her grievances.

    I exist therefore your argument is invalid... Jk seriously though protest busting is a fact of life. As a general rule I tend to feel that people have a right to their own opinion. I only step in after finding evidence of blatant or willful ignorance, sometimes even the regular kind before I step in and I usually do it to their face with words not violence instead of hiding behind the nebulous interwebs. I also happen to be a conservative. Guess my libertarian streak is showing.

    Yep because trial by ordeal is the norm on the internet. Seriously though that is an interesting point.

    Out of interest, why has nobody even remarked on the fact that Burger King bird has a serious pair of jugs?
