I probably would have used the same adjective myself. Whenever I see a large group of frothing maniacs protesting on the Boston Common or along Winter Street, I walk well around them. It doesn't matter the cause (pro abortion/anti abortion, pro gay marriage/anti gay marriage, pro fur/anti fur), mobs do not excite me. They frighten me.
Do they have the right to protest? Yes. They may even have an obligation to protest. But I don't have to condone it. I don't have to participate. And using my free speech rights, I am allowed, nay required (due to my own twisted ethics), to mock them to my hearts content. I called a long line outside of Q'Doba yesterday "insane" yesterday. Did I really think they were "insane"? No. But it is a good description of a hundred people standing outside freezing in line for Mexican fast food. The people I was walking with all agreed, so we went to Quizno's. (What is with all these Q-based fast food resteraunts lately?)
