Some questions for the "occupy" defenders:
Would you be as supportive if pro-life activists flooded into abortion clinics and shouted at workers and patients over bullhorns, led marches against the private homes of doctors and clinic workers, vandalized businesses thought to be sympathetic to pro-choice causes and hurled epithets at anyone who expressed disagreement with them?
Are you as vocal in defending the rights of and supporting the civil disobedience of Fred Phelps and his congregation? Have you protested the laws passed in direct response to his group, or the price tag put on their exercise of free speech (in terms of permits, security fees and insurance requirements)?
Have you defended the rights of all those who seek to peacefully express their opinions, such as Terry Jones? Are you steadfast in defending their separation from those who share common goals but employ more violent means?
