The Left Loses / Reacts Characteristically

Gore and Kerry are both defeated by Bush, and the left and their candidates go nuts, deny the results, and spend years trying to destroy our president. The Mexican leftist loses his presidential election, so he tells supporters to ignore the legitimate government while he sets up a parallel one. Now, the French left loses, so they riot--spurred on by "suggestions of concern" from the losing candidate. Just think what could be accomplished if they channeled all of that hate into something productive. These are supposed to be civilized countries. What is wrong with these people?

Street violence took some of the shine off victory in the French elections for new president Nicolas Sarkozy. Far-left activists had running battles with police across France as 270 people were taken in for questioning and 367 parked vehicles were torched.

Riot police fired tear gas into a crowd gathered at the Place de la Bastille in Paris as news of Sarkozy's victory came through.

Small bands of youths hurled stones and other objects at police and bared their backsides at riot officers. Other fights with the police broke out in Toulouse, Lyon, Rennes and Nantes. Two police unions said firebombs targeted schools and recreation centres in several towns in the Essonne region just south of Paris.

BFM TV described rioters as "militant anarchists" apparently upset by the victory of a man of the right.

What will happen now? Well, I guess that we can expect the police to come under attack for their response, just as they are in this country--another typical reaction of the left.

Keep reading to see some of the reactions about the French left's rioting from commenters at the article's site, which adds some sanity to the analysis.

Of course, the youths from the projects are upset, They were hoping to keep living off the state. Now the need to get out and find a job! Also, they should be rounded up and mde to clean up the city that they destroyed. - Mark, ATLANTA USA

If a liberal can't get what they want, then they must destroy their opponent and anyone who disagrees with them - because in their arrogant and fantasy world only they know what is best for all. They preach of tolerance, open mindness, and peace, but do not practice it. Hypocricy, fascism, ane elitism at it's worst. Disgracful, but expected. So, very typical of the loud liberal minority. - Liberal Brain Damage, France

why do liberals always riot when they lose? - Luckysnp, wellington,fl. USA

Thank you (Socialist/Liberals in France) for showing your true colors, we now see that it's not violence that you hate, it's failure to gain power. Now that you can participate in violence and not offend your tender feelings, you can help stop the Muslim murderers around the world, instead of hiding behind some phony sense of being superior and magnanimous. - Chaz, FL

What's your take? This matter goes beyond rationality.
