M&C is laying it on thicker than usual, Not a peep about those arrested at the democrat convention.
hey at least MC didnt overplay the 80 year old delegate that had to be treated by paramedics... for 'shortness of breath' i still thinks thats funny... i mean hes 80 dude... he probably has an oxygen tank anyway.... and gets excited when he hears any kind of loud expletive ridden music..
M&C did TWO articles about arrests and protests a the DNC.
And the major article was about the anti-abortion right wing nutcases who are trying to turn the US back into the stone age. As in: If they fornicate, stone them. If they say 'God damn it', then stone them. If they're Muslim, stone them. Et Cetera, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
You should know ALL about it, SP, you're stoned all the time.
sp4 needs to flour his nuts more often.
So what. What is newsworthy about 300 drugie loosers. The war is winding down. We are handing over provinces to the Iraqis. If we wanted to take over the country and govern it ourselves we could have and would have. Its time for you leftovers from the 60s losers to get potty trained.
' i still thinks thats funny... i mean hes 80 dude...'
Heh, Nick, you are a real asshole.
..I read the articles and never saw anything like that...
Why do the Democrats do this kind of domestic terror? One would think that the Obama guy would stand up and tell his party to stop this as it is not helpful to his ascension.
Dave, I don't think these are old hippies-they ran too fast. They're young idiots that like the word anarchy. Funny thing is, if anarchy ever did reign, they be some of the first taken out.
Republican Delegates were spat on and sprayed with poison today as they arrived at the RNC convention at the Xcel Center.
The protesters were able to get into the area unopposed.
The Leftist, anarchist, Obama-supporting radicals attacked RNC delegates today at the Xcel Center and sprayed them with a toxic substance.
An 80 year old RNC delegate had to be hospitalized.
MyFOX Twin Cities reported:
As the Connecticut delegation was getting off a bus near the Xcel Center, a group of protesters broke free from authorities and attacked the delegates.
Connecticut delegate Rob Simmons told FOX 9 that a group of protesters came toward his delegation and tried to rip the credentials off their necks and sprayed them with a toxic substance.
The unknown substance burned their eyes and stained their clothes.
One 80-year-old member of the delegation had to be treated for injuries, and several other delegates had to rinse their eyes and clothing.
One of the victims was an elderly woman who was spat on.
The Pioneer Press wrote about more attacks on Republican delegates:
Protesters harassed two state delegations in St. Paul to attend the Republican National Convention Monday. Someone threw a rock through the window as delegates from Alabama rode their bus to the Xcel Energy Center, where RNC events took place. And masked protesters confronted and harassed the Connecticut delegation — several of them were spat upon, roughed up and doused with a mixture of water and bleach.
Heath Fahle, director of the Connecticut Republicans, said the incident happened on Kellogg Boulevard about 2 p.m.
'It was frightening,' said Fahle.
He said the delegation of more than 100 got off their chartered buses near the Xcel Energy Center. As they walked on the sidewalk, a group of masked protestors chanting anti-war slogans appeared in front of them. They linked arms, attempting to create a human barricade. As police on horseback arrived, Fahle and other members of the group tried to push through.
Most of them escaped unscathed, but the protesters splattered the last group of delegates with the liquid.
'Two got doused, and several more got sprayed with it,' said Fahle. Former U.S. Congressman Rob Simmons was hit on the face with the liquid.
Washington State's delegation was also attacked today when Leftists threw cement bags and sandbags from the overpass onto the busses traveling down the interstate.
The cement bag attacks were not picked up by the local or national news.

Kathy,
You are probably right but I did seem some oldies. The young brats I should have said got their training from those old leftist pot smoking loser professors on those institutes of higher learning throughout America. I was glad to see the cops clubbing and macing them after they started breaking windows and smashing things. Wish i could have been there.
Give it up. Every last one of those has been losers you list couldn't win a race for dog catcher. They are all a bunch of losers.
