Anyone remember the Tea Party protests? Fox News would applaud the Tea Party protesters chasing congressmen from town halls and Republicans would cheer with glee. No the roles are reversed and Republicans don't seem to like it.

Protesters Force GOP Rep Out Of Town Hall With Police Escort (VIDEO) | RedState

So happy to see Republicans getting a dose of this.

Well, except for the fact that TEA Party rallies have permits, are cleaned up by the participants and don't end up as riots with property damage and assaults, yeah, they are practically the same.

Oh, and at TEA Party rallies, the kids don't have to listen to nonstop f-bombs.

Yes, the tea party people didn't block roads, smash windows, set cars on fire, and beat people in the streets.

But other than that, the communist protests that we are seeing now are just like the tea party protests.

These protesters look very respectful and Tom McClintock just won't come out. Why? Impressive to see so many older voters protesting too.

Did they start a bonfire at Berkeley or smash Starbucks windows or spray mace in faces?

I don't recall any destructive behavior like we've seen the last few months (or years).

Watch the video and show me the bricks, bats and fires. People of all ages respectfully protesting and he wouldn't come out. Instead he called for police to escort him to his car.

Nobody said every liberal protest turns into bedlam, but when there is a protest or rally that turns into a riot, 99% of the time it's the left.

I'm not a fan of either group. All I'm concerned about is violence. You never break the non-aggression principle and you respect private property rights.

The Tea Party had a much lower batting average in this department than the leftist loons we've seen the last few months.
