  "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?)"

No, I didn't mean "noob" as in "new"; I meant "nob" or "knob" as in "jerk".   How is it elitist to say that people who want to support a protest should respect the consensus of those who worked very hard to organize a strictly non-violent protest, and the hundreds of people who have participated in a completely non-violent protest largely because it is non-violent protest?  Who is the elitist - the one who respects the decision of the Algonquins that there will be no violence or property damage, or the nob who thinks s/he knows better and decides to bomb a building?
