In owillis' defense the link does have the word "video" in it. It should have been mentioned what type of media it was, but let's not lynch him like these republican mob members did to the guy in the video. posted by terrapin at 2:48 PM on November 22, 2000

That's okay, it was only a sample lynch mob. posted by grimmelm at 3:31 PM on November 22, 2000

If they're liberal, its a group of people excercising they're right to protest.
If they're conservative, its a mob (even when lacking property damage and/or violence).
It they're Borg, it's an all out invasion! posted by tomalak at 4:04 PM on November 22, 2000
Yep. It even had the words "Sample Ballot" stamped on it. posted by tomorama at 4:15 PM on November 22, 2000
Mick - I thought the liberals in Seattle/DC/LA were mobs too... posted by owillis at 4:20 PM on November 22, 2000
When I clicked on the link, it opened up a web browser and then tried to put all the real audio buttons and stuff in the fullblown browser screen. Looked really funny, but only played audio. No video.

What if they're morons? Can we call them a mob then? posted by rcade at 8:36 PM on November 22, 2000

The protesting conservatives were groups of people exercising their right to protest.
This was a mob. posted by dhartung at 10:29 PM on November 22, 2000
What I want to know is, how much does such a mob [or group of people exercising their right to protest] influence a county to decide not to have a recount after all, as Miami-Dade decided yesterday? posted by jillmatrix at 7:45 PM on November 23, 2000
By the way it looks to me, the loudest chanting and screaming came from the "freedom of press" chant at the end - those guys where holding cameras and such. So, there were acutally 2 mobs there. posted by jamescblack at 5:57 AM on November 27, 2000
