Joey's post highlights the elitism of the left, in which is it usually the "good" left trying to righteously distance themselves from the "bad" left (kinda like the whole "deserving" poor and "undeserving" poor)

Check out Joey's language.

1: ..."nob(s) thought it would be cool..." (do you mean nOOb, or someone "new" to the movememt? Can you explain why someone new to the movement would be more likely to use diversity of tactics or are you making a stereotype assuming either new protesters are stupid or veteran protesters would never engage in such acts?)

2: Joey also calls demonstators' "childish"

And also Judy Rebick's language as she refers to such protester's as "yahoos"

Such labels are dismissive and divisive and show a snobbery and a lack of respect for people's ability to chose for themselves and their choice of using certain tactics -- which they have personally chosen.

Now, this choice might piss someone else off, but you shouldn't be allowed to run your mouth because of it....there is a different between a constructive arguement for/against versus being dismissive and elitist. No one controls the left in so much as they can police the left or determine what actions are "right" or "wrong".
