#1 I waiting for the bell guy. At least you will know where he is all the time.

Wednesday Morning Laura Ingraham had on her show some of the protesters. Including the bell guy who wants to "Ring Out Bush", and there was some other whacko who had the fake Southern Accent. This was a performance artist who seemed to blame W for the theft of a pack of his twinkies.

#2 Longer, older, better article here. These moonbats are going to be one of Bush's best assets. And they don't care:
Neubauer says activists like himself are less interested in “trying to sway an unconvinced Middle America–type audience” and instead are “trying to create these temporary autonomous zones where we can experience a little piece of a world that we’d like to be our everyday reality. We’re doing it for ourselves. That’s a revolutionary switch.”
Uh, yeah.

#3 I expect the real chaos to be in Boston. Many of the ingredients of anarchy pie are already there, so much so that editorials in both the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald are saying that the convention should be called off.

The main website for Boston anti-DNC news is:
http://blackteasociety.org/index.php
(check out news items on the right column)

Plus, all the other fruitbats in Boston in their ongoing struggle against sanity website. This one should be interesting as the convention gets closer:

#4 Anonymoose - the ONLY reason I'll even consider stepping foot in Boston that week is to meet Tim Blair (he scored press credentials to cover it). My roommate's HQ is in Somerville; he's depressed just thinking about it.

I love this part:

Passing up road trips, beach vacations and barbecues,

No mention of jobs, is there?

#5 Neubauer says activists like himself are less interested in “trying to sway an unconvinced Middle America–type audience” and instead are “trying to create these temporary autonomous zones where we can experience a little piece of a world that we’d like to be our everyday reality. We’re doing it for ourselves. That’s a revolutionary switch."

... could you please elaborate? Or do I have to drag you away because you're so stoned your fellow lefties might trample you in orgasmic frenzies at the very mention of the president's name and being in the company of fellow Bush-haters?

(Sorry if that sounded completely incoherent, it's 70-degrees up here.)

In other words, Mr. Neubauer and friends are just j**king off.

#7 biggest potential disaster in Boston? If Ted Kennedy drives himself to the convention

#8 Democrats can't think their way out of a box. Example?

...activists are quietly learning how to block doorways or street intersections and when to use passive body language - such as sitting down - to disarm police officers trying to make an arrest..."The Republicans would love to have images...that make them look like the reasonable ones, like they're about responsibility and law and order and creating a safe society, and that the left was unreasonable and violent," Sellers said.

Maybe not violent (we'll see) but certainly prohibiting the free movement of others-is that reasonable, responsible, law-abiding in the free society they say they want?

#9 If the terro... um ... activists riot in NYC, would those who ran these classes (madrasses?) be guilty of criminal conspiracy?

#11 Intel needs to go after the leaders. If they preach distruption, etc, then they should be targets of surveillance, and with the Patriot Act, the leaders could be scooped up if they advocate and plan for street brawls, distruptions, and riots.

#13 Nah, that's just what they want.

I say, bring out the Moonies, Hare Krishnas and maybe the door-to-door-with-earnest-tracts folks and let them prosletize up and down the demonstration ranks.

But then, I have a hidden sadistic streak .... LOL

#14 Not the Hare Krishnes! NO! NO! My ears are still pounding from those bloody finger symbols. 4 years of them at Berkeley!
I'm having flashbacks!

#16 
We’re doing it for ourselves
That perfectly sums up the Left - totally self-absorbed.

The only surprise is that he was honest. Bet that won't happen again.
