I turn on the TV – as I usually do when I wake up – switch to Fox News, and I see this “280+ arrested in violent protest at GOP convention” line across the bar.

Absolutely disgusting. I hope to God the cops start whacking them over the head next time they act up.

As I mentioned earlier, from Tuesday onward I hope to be able to upload pictures in real time and in context, but Monday’s shots are getting dumped on you all at once.

I have to apologize for not having what I thought would be a real trove of freakis…

Have you seen the video over at Gateway Pundit of the anarchists dropping sacks of cement from an overpass onto the delegates’ buses on the highway below?

Exactly it has sickend me! The eyesore of humanity they were showing(protesters)dirtbags literally dirty folks I could smell them through my t.v. are the same ones from the DNC convention. Just looking at them made me want to go and get a shot of penicillin.

Members of the Connecticut delegation said they were attacked by protesters when they got off their bus near the Xcel Center, KMSP-TV reported.

Former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, one of the delegates, told the station and The Hartford Courant that a group of protesters tried to rip the credentials off their necks and sprayed them with a substance that burned their eyes and stained their clothes.

“Peaceful”.

Ed Morrissey of HotAir writes about today’s first day, and adds: It turns out that they don’t really have facilities for all of the bloggers invited, at least not in the hall. Most bloggers got assigned to the seats in……

If Kwame can stay out of jail he may get himself re-elected for the same reason as well.

I also watched on C-SPAN Politico’s gathering of on-line forum “journalists” including Huffington, so what a crock really. She sounded sane enough until Tucker Carlson mentioned global warming then she went off the deep end.

There is no coincidence in that. Lousianna’s trouble last time was the complete incompetence of the local authorities. But Nagel (is that right?) has shown that with good superiors he can be a competent mayor. At least they have learned from their mistakes.

True, Nagin was an abject failure last time around, as was Blanco. However, both were basically given a free pass by the BDS media. Now Republicans are in reactive mode, understandably. And yes, thankfully Nagin can perform the duties of his elected office when assisted by a real leader in the form of Governor Jindal. But it’s still a mystery to me why NO voters re-elected him in the first place.

OMG! WTF??? I turned on C-SPAN to see what I’ve missed, and what should I see and hear? Complete coverage of the ANTI-REPUBLICAN convention!!! Every word uttered by all the nutroots at the “anti-war” demonstration. Has C-SPAN lost its mind???? This is unconscionable!!!!!

mushroom on September 1, 2008 at 7:47 PM

Seriously? I can’t imagine that listening to the crock these people talk can really do to much to hurt Republicans. The protesters don’t even know what year it is. And that the Veit Nam war has been over for a while now. They are sort of like those soldiers that hide in caves and you find them years later…

Are you serious? If this is true, it needs its own blog post.

The Gulf states have competent (and coincidentally, Republican) governors who know how to manage natural disasters. Dariaanne on September 1, 2008 at 7:21 PM

Life goes on.

and so does the Republic win or lose…wish the other side grasped that fact.

When they said that, they meant Bush’s “temple”. Of course with Obama’s they had to prove they could do bigger and better.

I like the RNC stage, btw.

Spirit of 1776 on September 1, 2008 at 7:32 PM

so do I the subtlety is nice..a good portion of the electorate seems fed up with the opulance and BS of the beltway.

I hope McCain stays subtle and just has a bamboo cage with a POW/MIA flag and not some scene from Platoon or something.

Not because I don’t think he “deserves” it but you know they’d nail him on “ego” while somehow having forgotten about it last week.

all the best,

Must find the O-cropolis since the leftoids were saying “everyone does it”…..

your state’s levees are not in the condo building business.

I think this boomeranged on the donks and will be bad PR in “flyover country” for them….

thanks Fowler and Mik’Al’Moor.

Guess they’re still holding out hope that Hanna and Ike will slam into the southeast as Cat 3s or higher before either John McCain or Sarah Palin gets to take the stage. I just hope the show will go on, whatever happens. The Gulf states have competent (and coincidentally, Republican) governors who know how to manage natural disasters. Today’s speeches by Laura Bush and Cindy McCain were effective and appropriate. Charity websites have been promoted. Now can we just get on with the convention?
