Did The Protesters Help Kerry? popeye 09/07/04
    After the RNC last week here in the city last week do you think the angry mobs of protesters getting themselves arrested to make their point helped the Kerry/Edwards campagine? My feeling is after all the B.S. that these people pulled it just makes the democrats look bad.

    I am not speaking of those who demonstrated peacefully and orderly. I am mainly spaking of those who felt it was necessary to take off their clothes, climb buildings, block traffic, beat up police officers and the like.
    Not to mention disrupt a youth organization inside the garden probably terrorifying the kids who were supposed to be there. I am kind of upset that they would use such a terrible tactic to make a point.

      Popeye,

      I work in Midtown Manhattan, probably about 10 blocks from MSG where the RNC took place, and about a mile from where the rallies were taking place. I barely saw anything from the protestors. The media sure didn't show anything too out of whack... they were covering for the protestors, and hoping for some police brutality that they could jump on (but which never came about--- major kudos to the cops). If I live here and didn't see anythin major (and I was looking, trust me), then I doubt maw or paw kettle will have seen anything either... at least not enough to effect the election.

      Elliot
