Monologues of Dissent: In defense of incivility: an open letter to my fellow protesters

this is for all of us who had mixed feelings about the tone of yesterday's counter-protest...solidarity!

Monologues of Dissent: In defense of incivility: an open letter to my fellow protesters

"Update and disclaimer - 18 April 2011

This piece is intended to be a gentle reminder to all of us that sometimes doing what's right sometimes means putting civility to the side for a moment. My first draft of this letter seemed, to some readers, to imply that I was calling for more civility from both sides. I added the 2nd paragraph to make my position more clear, and ask that you keep the title of this piece in mind as you read:this letter is a defense of incivility, not an apology for it."

    Marilyn Arney This speaks volumes to how we are all feeling about the events in our country and the way the media wants everyone to think all is well.

    Mandy Wertz I've seen how CNN and FOX News covered Sarah Palin's speech. Nothing about the counter protest. Where is this "liberal" media the conservatives complain about?
