Greensboro, N.C. - What a Difference Three Decades Can Make

UPDATE:  Youtube removed the video showing Tea Party members being attacked.  There are thousands of videos on Youtube showing minor children being physically attacked.  But this they remove?  Anyone want to guess why? 

When I was a child, I remember seeing this story  on the news.  I grew up about 30 miles from Greensboro.

It was 1979 and five protest marchers were shot and killed by members of the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party. The protest was the culmination of attempts by the Communist Workers Party (known as the Workers Viewpoint Organization at the time of the shooting) to organize mostly black industrial workers in the area.  Here is video of the attack.  It was shocking video at the time.







So in 1979, you have a far right group attacking communists. Now, fast forward to 2010.  Greensboro, N.C. A liberal nut job physically attacks tea party members who had a lawful permit to assemble.



This is a small incident. But trust me when I tell you people. There will be many more acts like this in the years to come. With far more serious consequences.
