I have to agree with those who think these protesters are too soft. At first glance I thought some of them had pepper spray but it turned out to be Axe Body Spray.

At least now that the Soviet Union is reforming we can bank on some badass Russians infiltrating these groups and bring back some good old thuggery.

Did anyone see that picture Zombie had of Ward Churchill over at LGF? With his beret and sunglasses on? Is he asking people to call him ‘Commander’ too? I’d really love to hit that guy..just one time. What an annoying pretentious old SOB.

Another reason to be thankful for being born to normal, traditional parents and having a good upbringing! These people are simply pathetic.

Great story, Ed. ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN online as well as Drudge feel it is does not meet their journalistic standards. They do feel it important to tell me about Andy Dick not being charged with sexual battery and a two headed turtle somewhere in the South. Britney’s new hairdo is also seen as more worthy of coverage.

Good point. You remind me of an old saying about those who cannot raise the level of their argument, raise the volume.

Alex Jones thinks MM is a criminal because she advanced arguments for positions he disagrees with. He shouldn’t scream so much. The louder he is, the more people will know what an idiot he is.

I would vote for Michelle giving that schmuck Jones a swift kick in the nards, but he’s probably already neutered and Michelle has too much class for that. As for the anarchy movement; they will never get anywhere until they get some strong leadership and guidance.

LGF has more information on this, including a correspondent who has gotten pepper-sprayed herself.

herself?

It’s not entertaining unless someone’s getting tazed or the cops go to “hats and bats”.

These bozos said they “learned from Seattle” and “had people with training”. Only thing I remember about these goofs from Seattle was some effeminant jerkweed screeching like a little girl “IT BURNS! IT BURNS!” while some hippy chick fruit fly dabbed at his eyes with a makeshift washcloth. So they “learned” what in Seattle? That pepper spray burns? That what they did there is the reason the Denver PD won’t hesitate a second to start busting heads if they try the same crap in Denver?

Wake me when Ward Churchill gets tazed or Medea Benjamin gets maced or vice-versa.

THAT’S good TV!

Go to hand it to Alex Jones, free advertisement is free advertisement. Gotta be worth another 3 or 4 book sales at least.

Sorry folks, this ain’t ‘68. To begin with they’re missing some 80,000 people for the first night. There were 300,000 on Wednesday the big night. There’s no SDS and Yippies (How could anyone take them seriously). We’ve here VVAW and wannabes with some somnabulist droning on about MLK. Wanna see a Gitmo cell? they’ve mocked one up….less than impressed. Saw a handful of hippies with backpacks that must have been the excitement later tonight. Two dozen vs two thousand….pathetic.

Met a few Hillary diehards and verbally offered support. My flight in from Phoenix had many of her delegates but seeing Obama stymied on the first ballot doesn’t seem likely.

Got interviewed by DenverPost, it won’t print and photo’d with Channel 9 (TaRhonda a beauty) but it won’t air.

Trying to balance my week’s schedule with the goings on here, the call of hot springs and the chance to meet the Boss. AMUSE ME!

I would pay them just to be able to beat up hippies , if you hit them hard enough do joints fall out of them

Old George Carlin joke:

Carlin is at his doctor for a physical exam.

Doctor: Well, you’re getting a bit older… have you had any problem with your joints?

Carlin: Nooo… not a bit.

Why was this a good idea again?

That’s an easy one. The independents have forgotten who holds the chains of the Democrat Party… its important every now and then to let them see the sausage being made as it were.

Oh, that’s why it was a good idea for Conservatives to sit back with the popcorn in hand and watch, silently thinking encouragement for these idjits…

If you were asking why those involved might think it was a good idea?

Perhaps because they aren’t capable of recognizing good ideas? I’ve seen a lot of their plans and proposals; and I think this is a pretty accurate assessment of their abilities in this area. When was the last time this crowd had a halfway plausible or reasonable (much less good) idea?

The really ironic part about Jones ranting and raving about Michelle’s book is that she wrote another book about people exactly like him. It’s called “Unhinged.”

Nothing would please him more.

Oh please, as much as I hate to admit how old I am…I was in Chicago in ‘68 and this is pathetic. You could smell the tear gas fumes for blocks on Michigan Avenue. There were thousands of National Guard and police everywhere. And the stupid Yippies in Lincoln Park were all stoned. And they pretty much tore up both parks. The police did get out of hand, but I think it was because they weren’t allowed to do anything at first, so the tension built and the dumb protesters got too bold.

At any rate, the is no 1968 Recreated…at least not yet.
