Democracy Now! Host and Producers Arrested at RNC

There is a difference between PBS, NPR and Public Access. It's too boring to describe the differences, but the point is, there is no such thing as "public radio".
 
Here's video, which I just got the chance to watch.

Amy Goodman's arrest.

Makes me fucking sick. Tell me, Rightfield et al., where are the riots, the broken windows? I'm not saying that somebody, somewhere, got drunk and stupid. But seriously, where is it called for to manhandle and restrain a middle-aged woman, who can't even be bothered to resist or even speak harshly of her captors? I don't see a riot, do you? "Conspiracy to riot?" Please. These days, you can be accused of conspiracy to engage in anything. Ask any attorney. It's what they throw up there when they can't get anything else to stick. So yeah. Hope you feel good, guys. Make your smarmy-ass bullshit talking points.

Seriously, is this your country? Because it isn't mine.
I noticed you DIDNT RESPOND AGAIN

as usual

You are SHOCKKED at the above, This isnt your country, and all that


THIS IS YOUR COUNTRY!

RIGHT?

The Face of Evil

The first day of the RNC was fun but muted. One group, though, wasn't deterred from pursuing its agenda by events in the Gulf. The Communist/anarchist/truther/pro-Obama protesters were out in force, committing various crimes and attempting to disrupt the proceedings.

The most shocking events are described by Jim Hoft, who was on a bus that was attacked from above when a group of protesters dropped sand bags on to the top of the bus. This is attempted murder: if the protesters had succeeded in hitting the windshield, a sand bag would have crashed through and killed the driver. The resulting accident would have killed or injured others on the bus. To my knowledge, the left-wingers/would-be murderers were not caught.

A little later, a busload of Cub Scouts were en route to the convention, where they were to present the colors to open the convention. A group of protesters--liberals, Obama supporters, or whatever--blocked the road, surrounded the bus, and attacked it, rocking the bus back and forth, denting and scratching the sides, and generally terrifying the children trapped inside. The left-wing protesters attacked a number of buses in the same way, but there is something especially despicable about attacking a group of Cub Scouts.

Among us conservatives, it's pretty much an article of faith that people of all political persuasions are good folks who should be treated with respect; we just disagree about issues of public policy. (Liberals generally don't adopt that view, although there are some honorable exceptions.) But sometimes that model doesn't apply. The liberal/anarchist/Communist/pro-Obama protesters we have seen today in St. Paul are terrible people who, in many cases, should be subject to long prison terms. Let's hope that a few of them, at least, are prosecuted.
