They don't want a confrontation like there was in Washington where the MMM fanatics were bordering on violence against the SAS-AIM demonstrators.

They don't want a confrontation, because they know that their people would be the aggressors. Just like they were here: http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/...threadid=38618

We don't want you to engage in a debate because we know you'd come off looking like idiots.

Related question-Have you ever tried to debate with a liberal? Every time I try, the liberal ends up getting really angry and loud and calling me names. I still haven't found a single liberal that can give me a reasoned arguement for their beliefs.
