Activists who plan to protest at the Democratic National Convention this summer are splitting with the umbrella organization, Re-create 68, because of concerns over its rhetoric and tactics...
The new coalition, called Alliance for Real Democracy, is a network of local and national groups, including Code Pink, United for Peace and Justice, the American Friends Service Committee, the Green Party of Colorado, the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Colorado Street Medics, and Students for Peace and Justice.
“We’ve separated ourselves; we’re not part of Re-create 68,” said Claire Ryder, chairwoman of the Denver Green Party. Ryder said many activists had attended Re-create 68 meetings and were not comfortable with its organizational techniques.
Nevertheless, she said, “This has all been very difficult because a lot of them are ou friends. We’ve worked together on a lot of other issues over time.”
Glenn Spagnuolo, an organizer with Re-create 68, said he doesn’t mind the new structure.
Spagnuolo characterizes the groups that are splitting with his as liberal Democrats who are largely white and middle-to-upper class and want their party to guide the country out of the war in Iraq.
He described Re-create 68 as representing minorities, anarchists, communists, socialists and “radicals” ...

The Democrat convention should be better than pro-wrestling!
Isn't he describing what the democrats have become?
They have separated into those that want to do violence and those that do not.
or the arrested and the not arrested
Then why is Code Pink splitting away from this group?
...protesters protesting other protesters!....this is classic....sounds like something that happens in foreign countries....fist fights on the floor of the Tiawanese parliament...masked Koreans hurling flaming gasoline bombs....that kind of thing....I can’t wait for Denver.
The new coalition
But do they support the Judean People’s Front, or the People’s Front of Judea?
i see all those meaningless group names and consider them classifications of different herds.
Need much popcorn for this new spectator sport. Moonbat protesters protesting moonbat protesters, LOL!
You don’t really believe the Media will give these DEM protesters any coverage, do you? ... No, the MSM will present the DEM convention as a “peace and harmony” reunion.
The nuts serve on each others boards to try to give themselves more bodies.
You are correct. Since these anti-American malcontents took over the Democtrat Party in '68, this will be only a reunion.
The really energetic part of the party yes . But you will be amazed at the number of folks that are blue collar types that will see these voids surrounded by a spinchter muscle & think “My GOD Joe McCarthy was right all along”.
The secret to busting their bubble is to point out that the communist rabble throwing rocks in the streets are the folks that the politicians rely upon as the energizing wing of the party and to keep them they have to make concessions to them.
you feel as though they arent going to have some sort of back-up cause to rally for or protest against? i wouldnt be surprised if i saw signs opposing whaling at the convention.
Pretty scary when Code Pink isn’t radical enough to join your group.
“DNC are splitting this summer with the umbrella organization”
Is that the same Umbrella Corporation that is in Resident Evil?
