Yes, protesting is important. However, trying to shutdown someones right
to free speech is more than a little bit hypocritical. I mean lets take a look
at the situation. A group of people want to  protest the threat to the freedom,
and personal safety of many individuals posed by the KKK. So how
do you do that? I know, lets try to take away the freedoms of the individuals
(KKK members) by assaulting them and generally be a danger to the personal
safety of anybody in the area.  Perhaps it would also be OK if next year, 
when there are any number of events centered around Martin Luther King Jr.
day, if the KKK/White power groups showed up and started throwing rocks etc.
in "Protest". Maybe all of the police brutality in Seattle was justfied as
a form of "protest" in favor of WTO. Lets face it, This has nothing to do with 
what these people stand for. It is a issue of free speech. If we want it for 
ourselves we must protect it for others.  As soon as you deny their freedoms
you are just as bad if not worse then they are. You want to protest? Then set
up opposite them and call them down, but don't cast stones or try to deny them
their rights no matter how hateful their retoric.
