Protesters Disrupt Convention Access; At Least Two Arrests Before DNC Begins

Umm, wasn’t it Obama that promised to pull out and now the Bush administration is planning to do that. Oh yeah. And the war is still very much on some people’s minds and they have every right to protest.

Dan Manzanares, 61,…. Whats the saying? Old Hippies never die just fade away or yesterdays flower children are todays blooming idiots….both probably fit Mr. Dan. Dan, sober up it is not the same as 68 or the summer of love in 67. Time to get a job

Yeap do nothing democratics the congress only people less popular than the president nancy what do you have to say about this?

The Denver Police Department appears to have dodged an unfavorable PR issue; good to see the para military storm troopers showed restraint, unlike their counterparts in NYC in 2004. Hopefully, they can hold their positions without taking advantage of their power through the convention’s closing. Maybe Denver can set the modern day standard for being present and the freedom of expression; what a wonderful gift to America this would represent.

Lou…
An even better idea would be for those who hate America to stay home. A violent “protest” will accomplish NOTHING other than foster even more hatred.
We have enough hatred in our country. Those who would stir up trouble deserve whatever the cops want to give them. I’m NOT talking about a PEACEFUL demonstration or march. I’m talking about those who riot and destroy in the name of some “cause”.
Against THOSE people, the cops need REAL weapons, not rubber bullets.

Protestors have EVERY right to shield their faces from the police filming them and putting them in an illegal database for exercising their right to assemble and petition their govt. leaders. They have every right to take appropriate precautions when the police pepper spray men, women and children as young as six months old, like they did in Portland, OR. (Google “the eye of the storm” for actual footage of the police attacking protestors who merely showed up, and were actually in the “free speech zone”) The Democrats, in league with the Republicans have collaborated with Bush in every way and now with Biden, Obama has signaled that the millitarist, police state, and war of humiliation and occupation in “strategic areas of interest” (i.e. were the OIL is!) will be placed in our control, rather than that countires control or to somebody other than Britan and the US interests. We are dying overseas and becoming indebted back home in order to kill others for the right of our masters to enslave us further with the creation of deficts and destruction overseas. A nation that is broke, and has it’s military overseas with it’s borders and soverignity comprimised is not a nation at all. Think about this and ask yurself if the next Obama/McCain face will bring behind it TRUE change in current policy, or just bring about a new face on the same, old, tired and ancient method of rule by and for the empire, instead of rule by ad for the people both here and overseas. Look closely and then tell me what it is that you see… And NOT what you are told but someone else what it is.

“Once they get in the White House they forget”….that part is right! Obama has already forgotten and Hillary has never known! McCain will win in Novemeber and all the crying and protesting won’t stop that!

ahhh i love it. screaming little liberals…

robert…
let it go. she lost fair and square. show me the evidence or quit complaining.

they however DONT hve the right to disturb the peace. its called a civil disturbance. look it up. the ones who were in the streets or disrupted traffic should be cuffed and thrown in jail.

oh boy, we are working on it mike.. its being accomplished as we speak. some college kids marching at the convention dosnt help… lol

Cindy Sheehan, Ward Churchill, Cynthia McKinney Recreate 68 At Denver Democratic Convention

Protesters – including some well known names, have shown up in Denver with the group Recreate 68 – to make their voices heard – sort of. Protesters Disrupt Convention Access; At Least Two Arrests Before DNC Begins from Political Radar

ahhh look at who is our presidential nominee thinking!! he ‘s not much better than arnold… you dont make a valid point…

Debra – Obama will bring them home sooner when is become the President.

These kids are mad as hell and who can blame them. The Bush administration has made darn sure that these young people are have a massive debt hanging over their head. Plus, the kids are old enough to be sent to war in a draft (which is gonna happen if war monger McCain is elected). If you think the Denver protest is huge, wait until you see the one the GOP is gonna see.

The only true antiwar candidate was Ron Paul. After all he has nothing to gain by going to war. We have been duped yet again. Obama’s language in the beginning was hopeful, but now it is much worse, and don’t get me started with warmongering McCain.

When kids see the situation in the USA as hopeless this is what happens. GW’s & McCain’s generation is robbing them of any future they had hope for. The GOP is a group of greedy meme’s that have destroyed the wealth, good will, and creditability of the USA.

I remember such scens on TV, as a kid in 68′. It turned me to consevatism. I was a peace and love, hippy, and still believe in some of the greater ideals. But as time and maturity revealed to us, without a safe, reasonable soceity and the rule of law, you have choas.
Such irresponsable behavior simply reiterates these realities to all of us. These people and their leaders are clueless.
Lets learn from our experieince and history, and choose leadership with experience and integrity and forsight.
McCain for a safe rational fair society!

reason we can believe in – McCain for a safe rational fair society broke from war extravaganzas!

War protesters at the dem convention. I don’t get it.

JT – You are right, Biden did vote to give Bush the power to declare war. All politicians that did this should resign including Biden and McCain.

MaeScott – Obama will win. That doesn’t mean he is the right choice. It just means he is better than McCain.

Both mainstream candidates seem to promise more war. Massive political activist upheaval if the Warmachine’s first puppy McSame is Diebolded into office, though, and if Europe’s armies are to be exploited to fight for the U.S., an apparently salvic force like Obama makes a rallying cry against, oh say, Russia more appealing to the European palate..This is why Brezinski’s puppet Obama is on the plate..

Huh:
Surly your not as moronic as your post makes you oput to be. Biden net worth 100,000-150,000, dude his yearly salary as a Senator is more than that.

The worth a man who is holding a senate office should be irrelevant as long as he has made his money legally.
I am looking for leaders with the intelligence to use their diplomatic skills to handle crises over seas without us sending our children into war because we can not be the policemen of the world. I am also looking for leaders who can get us out of the economic mess at home because I am one of those people who sits at the kitchen table wondering how I’m going to pay all of my bills.I don’t know about you but I can’t take another 4 years of McBush.

So the candidate for “change” brings us as his Vice-Presidential running mate the guy whose picture is in the dictionary under “Washington Establishment.” Is Obama going to change his entire campaign message?
Hillary Aide

What’s not to get about anti-war protesters at the Democratic convention?
Obama stood on a podium in Berlin and asked our European allies to support us in George W’s war on terror. We’ll start withdrawing our troops out of Iraq and march them right over to Afghanistan. Where is the change in that? Where is the thinking outside the box on that? No one disputes that
the threat from terrorists is not real and everyone would like to see Bin Laden caught and brought to justice- those are givens. The problem is though that England has terrorist cells which exist there and we didn’t invade England, Somalia has terrorist training camps and we didn’t invade Somalia. Yet in both these Countries there are intelligence communities and covert (and some not so covert) operations addressing this (even though in Somalia it gets a bit mucky because of oil). We did not invade Iraq because of WMD’s, Bin Laden or evil Hussein rather we are there protecting our national interests being oil. The Bush administration , led by neo-con Cheney, decided in all there wisdom that they would take out Hussein, try to push Democracy in an attempt to stabilize the region and at the same time be giving a strong message to Countries such as Iran. Well, we’ve seen how well that has worked. This war is in line with the Carter Doctrine which Bush has tweaked and Petreaus is from US Central Command which evolved out of the Carter Doctrine which is about protecting ,even if it means militarily, our national oil interests.
And yet Obama stands on that podium and asks for support in George W’s war on terror as does McCain. While McCain has clearly said things that concern as has
Obama (like unilateral bombing of Pakistan), I give McCain some credit and every once in awhile McCain of 2000 squeaks out. McCain at a townhall meeting said that we need to finally deal with our foreign oil dependency so we will never have to send our young men/women to the Middle East ever again about oil. The next day the press was all over him and he backed off his statement and resorted back to the war on terror. For a moment he had spoke of the pink elephant in the room we all see but never speak of. He knew exactly what he was talking about and meant it when he said it and I have yet to hear anything but the war on terror come out of Obama’s mouth to date.

Ronaldraygun – NBC Chris Matthews proclaimed Biden’s net worth in one of his shows recently. Biden even took out a second mortgage to send one of his kids to school recently. I am not moronic, just quoting Matthews. I should have stated that previously. He must not be very good saving his money. Typical problem in this country.

DaveM,that’s true.Maybe they were ticked off because the democrats they trusted are not devoted to the change they promote?

Big surprise, the Democrats want a police state just as much as the Republicans.Thoms Mc.,meet the new boss,same as the old boss.

David – Thanks for your ‘insights.’ I am a Vietnam Era Veteran, serving in the USAF from ’67 to ’71, electronically spying on the Czech airforce from ’68 to ’71. I walked the line of military courtmartial writing an anti-vietnam/anti-military newspaper called RAP. I’ve marched in several anti-war/immigrant rights protests over the years. There is a Buddhist’s saying that “Loyalty demands Dissent.” I have no choice as an American but to speak up and show up and dissent when I disagree with any elected (or in Bush’s case – selected) official who misrepresent (lie) to loyal Americans. Historically, 1700s to the present, a U.S. patriot is a dissenter who shows up and risks their lives to protest the wrongs of authoritarian, cowardly, evil officials who do not respect the rights of the citizens, the Blessed Unrest, who dedicate their daily living to raising healthy families, creating productive careers, and enjoying & protecting mother-earth (Gaia). I am a clinical psychologist and I have been conducting psychotherapy for half of my life (I’m 61 yrs). I specialize in helping dysfunctional systems, esp. those individuals, couples, families, & organizations who are addicted to chemical and non-chemical behaviors. My continued life-goal is to revoluntionize, one person at at time, our culture that is toxic to the spiritual essence of who we are as ‘godly’ temples of the universe. Dr. Dan aka Prayinwolf.
