Countries in the Americas and Africa experiencing large-scale displacement as the result of armed conflicts found that the 1951 Convention definition did not go far enough in addressing the protection needs of their populations. Consequently, both Article 3 of the Cartagena Declaration and Article 1(2) of the 1969 OAU Convention extend refugee status to an individual who “owing to external aggression, occupation, foreign domination or events seriously disturbing public order in either part or the whole of his country of origin or nationality, is compelled to leave his place of habitual residence in order to seek refuge in another place outside his country of origin or nationality.” OAU Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of the Refugee Problem in Africa, art. 1(2); accord Cartagena Declaration on Refugees, Colloquium on the International Protection of Refugees in Central America, Mexico & Panama, art. 3.

I always park in the City Center garage. Makes me disgusted to know he lives in that building.

and have an opportunity to shame him personally yourself. Wish I lived nearby and could do that.
If you see him, drop a line for me "Your party is the party of propaganda and lies. It has no smart people other than its billionaire donors. No ideas. It's a house of cards."

Who gets the blame?

I don't much care about unfair, uncivil or unheard of. I just think it is tactically stupid and accomplishes nothing.

I would prefer to see Democrats on air, in ads and in print point out his white supremacist ties to Richard Spencer and his history at Duke University.

29. No, public shame is highly valuable. Tactically useful and significant.

As MLK said:

“Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue,” King wrote. “It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored.”

THIS is why public shame works. Because it makes issues like caging children issues that can no longer be ignored.

I'm on MLK's side. Join us over here.

31. Public shame is fine. A "Wanted" poster with the family address on it is not.

Few people remember the name of the guy who shot Gabby Gifford, but everyone remembers that Sarah Palin put out an ad "targeting" her with crosshairs.

Few people can list the absolute crap that Steve Scalise has pulled, but everyone knows a crazy Liberal shot him.

And strange you mention Dr. King, because there were "wanted" posters of him in Memphis, as well as posters with his face in a crosshair. I guess you could say that was tactically useful, if you want to see it that way.

I'm glad this is happening. Until Democrats regain control, and some of these people are finally forced to face the music for what they've done, THESE civilian-engineered activities will be the only consequences they'll see (and try to avoid seeing).
