Very good question. PowerToThePeople Aug 2015 #24

I think the answer may be "HillaryMojo". Romulox Aug 2015 #32

Or, selective enforcement Duckhunter935 Aug 2015 #67

So having a sock Duckhunter935 Aug 2015 #79

I wear socks every day. George II Aug 2015 #81

Cute Duckhunter935 Aug 2015 #83

That's obviously incorrect, since Baine's sock was PPRed. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #95

Excellent post. Why is BainsBane allowed to flout the rules here? Romulox Aug 2015 #31

What rule, specifically, has been broken? George II Aug 2015 #73

The rule against having Sock Puppets. That's why Bain's sock was PPRed. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #75

Some are more equal than others Duckhunter935 Aug 2015 #84

specifically using a sock puppet to circumvent rule enforcement. Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #89

So, that person who is on DU all the time talking with its 2nd identity? That's totally okay?? kath Aug 2015 #92

I believe that this has been asked and answered repeatedly in Ask the Admins, and "yes". Warren Stupidity Aug 2015 #93

Thanks, Warren. kath Aug 2015 #94

Why was the puppet tombstones then? Duckhunter935 Aug 2015 #103

Dissent isn't taken well BainsBane Aug 2015 #110

Maybe she'll add that when it happens. George II Aug 2015 #74

I'd be curious also to find out under what circumstances you can criticize protesters el_bryanto Aug 2015 #22

My view is the First Amendment protects your right to criticize BainsBane Aug 2015 #25

By the same logic, if they protest YOU and call you white supremacists... BillZBubb Aug 2015 #39

If I behaved the same way BainsBane Aug 2015 #111

Where can a POC protest without threat of violence or racist language hurled at them. NCTraveler Aug 2015 #23

I'm totally cool with the right to protest if protesters respect the law. NaturalHigh Aug 2015 #26

OCCUPY didn't respect the law. They engaged in lawbreaking every time they "urban camped." MADem Aug 2015 #33

"when protesting is prohibited" NaturalHigh Aug 2015 #38

Spare me the snark--you're the one who initiated the bad premise re: "lawbreaking." MADem Aug 2015 #40

"They have nothing to do with the Constitution." NaturalHigh Aug 2015 #42

No, this isn't about disagreement--you were the one who talked about respecting the law. MADem Aug 2015 #46

I'm not trying to back off - I don't agree with your premise... NaturalHigh Aug 2015 #47

No one is saying it's not a constitutional right--you're trying to pretend I was making that point MADem Aug 2015 #50

Except if it's Hillary of course! Then any "protest" should be behind closed doors. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #29

Bernie could protest when he was younger and we're all supposed to cheer R B Garr Aug 2015 #36

Protests are supposed to happen in *public*. The "protests" of Hillary appear to take place in Romulox Aug 2015 #37

I didn't see anyone smoking in that room. nt MADem Aug 2015 #43

It's a figure of speech that everyone familiar with politics knows. Romulox Aug 2015 #45

Yes, and it means "done in secret." Some secret--with the press right there to MADem Aug 2015 #117

BLM now has a seat in the smoking section. We're not supposed to notice that. leveymg Aug 2015 #49

and heckling the Obamas is also taboo, never good. only white supremicists like Bernie and his m-lekktor Aug 2015 #41

Hey. These protesters back the fabulously wealthy career politician because they want CHANGE. Romulox Aug 2015 #44

This strategy makes sense if BLM wants "a piece of the action." They seem to be getting it. leveymg Aug 2015 #51

A seat at the table of the Oligarchs is what many want. Hard to see the Oligarchs allowing Romulox Aug 2015 #54

It is theoretically possible to have a racially blind oligarchy. leveymg Aug 2015 #58

Yes. Condi, Colin, and Clarence can live good lives while poverty festers in our inner cities. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #59

Precisely. n/t leveymg Aug 2015 #62

Bizarre word salad. YOU own all the crap you just posted, nobody else. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #72

I don't read the salads either Capt. Obvious Aug 2015 #77
