The way you refer to them as unwashed losers reminds me of the way people refered to the protesters at the 1968 DNC. Would you have called the 1968 protesters a bunch of unwashed hippies who need to cut their hair and fall in for Hubert Humphrey volunteer duty?
Or the way Fox "news" refered to the Occupy people... same exact talking point..."unwashed". By the way, how do you know if they are unwashed, and what in God's good name does that have to do with whatever point they are trying to make?
You might be jumping to conclusions to assume they are all non-voters, or even that some won't vote for Obama. Maybe the whole black bloc ninja suit is just something they just do once in a while for special occasions, and then they blend back into "normal" society.
You say they have no role in solutions, but I think there is a legitmate role for street protest to draw attention to issues excluded from the Democratic Party.
Thank you and God bless you. And God bless America.
