28. so you're saying that
carrying signs protesting the war is the same thing as screaming over elected officials so that other Americans can't be heard?

Hmmm.

What about the objective?

Iraq Vets against the War protested in RNC and the DNC. Blackwater was unleashed on them at the RNC and no one ever heard their complaints, seeing as they were relegated to the "free speech zone" and then tear gassed.

they also protested at the DNC and Obama agreed to hear their complaints.

That is what they wanted; to be heard.

What do the tea baggers want? They are being heard. No one is stopping them from expressing their dissent.

We object to their purposeful obstruction of everyone else's right to be heard, and their purposeful and willful attempts (as noted in the leaked memos) to sto any meaningful debate from happening.

See how those two things differ?
