Why are liberals suddenly opposed to citizens protesting their government, even calling it fascism and treason?

[Quan]

Not true...

None of that crap in your question is correct.

Provide examples. I am sure if a Liberal did it, you could provide examples.

[SwizzleStick]

Every republican since reagan massively overspent. Now that a black man is president all the crazies come out of the woodwork.

Where the HELL were these "fiscal conservatives" when Reagan, Bush 1 and Bush 2 spent money like drunken sailors???

[Bethy]

Because they now are in power


Democrats out of power = dissent is patriotic

Democrats in power = dissent is dangerous, and can lead to violence

[zzone]

They are trying to cover up for the fact that they are the real ones committing Treason against the country.

for someone to spout the rantings of another con to answer is lazy.
libs by nature have been the most vocal group in dissent historically.
(abolition, civil rights, health care..)
and we ALL agree that there is NO truth W/OUT dissent...that is universal w/ libs...

however...true libs (while we acknowledge the nut jobs) will point out those waving a flag and using it validate harm or even threats of harm to OTHER AMERICANS is wrong...
it is treason to kill other americans....(McVeigh)

nothings changed...only the demographics of the groups collecting to incite and promote harm to other americans....it was wrong in the 70's, its wrong now....

We all have a right to protest our government. This IS the form of free speech we are given in our constitution. We have the right to speak out against our government without fear of reprisal from our government.

Perhaps the libs are confused about this since anyone opposing Bush war policy was called a traitor and unamerican. Doesn't feel so good when the shoe is on the other foot does it?

Patriot Act - unamerican and gives aid to the terrorists if you do not support it.
Wire taps on U.S. citizens without a warrant to do so - unamerican and gives aid to the terrorists if you do not support it.
Dixie Chicks - traitors for speaking out against Bush policy in a country that is our allie and the majority of their own people did not support the Bush policy.
