You need to find aneurysms before they rupture. Make sure your blood pressure is OK!
I stopped right there.
Good job FBI. [Even though I will never forgive you for Waco and Ruby Ridge..and I will never trust you..not for a single minute. You are above the law.]
READY FOR THIS?

Will Republican convention be a Chicago '68 madhouse?
Activist Tom Hayden pledges disruptions 'bigger by a thousand fold' for GOP event
Tom Hayden, one of the central organizers of sometimes violent, civil disobedience protests at the Democratic National Convention in 1968, is pledging to disrupt this month's Republican convention with demonstrations "1,000 times bigger than Chicago," according to a report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, WND's premium, weekly, online intelligence newsletter.
Hayden, the co-founder of Students for Democratic Society, a left-wing group that splintered in the late '60s and early '70s, with one faction resorting to terrorism, is predicting between 100,000 and 1 million protesters will be in New York for the convention beginning Aug. 30.
Hayden said there were at most 6,000 on hand in Chicago in 1968.
This time, he predicted, it will be "bigger by a thousand fold," he told a foreign journalist.
Check WND site for the rest of the article!
These morons put up web sites on how to cause trouble at the convention and than say, duh, why are you questioning me ? If they had brains they would really be dangerous.
My patience is gone with these whackos! Never seen is the RIGHT side acting the way the left scum behave.
I attended a "support the troops" rally in Fayetteville,NC to counter the hate America crowd. Our turn out was great.....regular every day type folks arent going to let the RATS get away with this crap anymore!
OK, now tell me what you think of the cops that daubed mace directly into the eyes of abortion protesters?

Crashing the Party Technology for Direct Action Protest Against the 2004 Republican National Convention
Joshua Kinberg
Fall Thesis Instructor: Dave KanterFall Writing Instructor: Mark Stafford“Crashing the Party” seeks to develop a tactical media performance tool thatmerges activism online (cyberactivism) with direct action protest in real spacein an effort to protest the 2004 Republican National Convention in NYC.
Thechallenge of this project is to create meaningful dialogue in popular culturethrough tactical mappings of messages and locations in relation to the politicalevent.My intention is to mesh two concepts—Yury Gitman’s wireless bicycle,“MagicBike” (2003), and “GraffitiWriter” (2000), a robot built by the Institutefor Applied Autonomy—by constructing an Internet-enabled bicycle attachmentthat prints messages on streets and sidewalks as it rides by. Thiswireless/writer bike will contain an array of spray-chalk aerosol cans and willprint dot-matrix text and simple graphics. Since the bicycle will also have apersistent Net connection, it will enable user interaction via the web and/oremail/SMS. A website for the project will provide live documentation of theperformances via streaming web cam and real-time updates of the bicycle’sGPS location.
In preparation for this thesis, I researched the history of Civil Disobedience,Direct Action, and Cyberactivism. I investigated the expanding role oftechnology in the context of activism—from Video Activism and IndyMedia toSmartmobs and Flashmobs. I studied the culture of activism and the specificcontext surrounding this particular political event. I participated in organizingmeetings for Anti-RNC protests, as well as bicycle culture events such asCritical Mass. I have been involved with the development of Magicbike withYury Gitman, and also participated in the HelloWorld project, which allowedusers to submit statements through the Web to be laser-projected on thefaçade of the United Nations building (as well as locations in Bombay, Geneva,Rio De Janeiro).In terms of the technological implementation, I have researched mobilewireless networking, physical computing and hardware hacking, GPS, and PerlAPI’s for automated data transfers and web publishing.One Sentence Description:“Crashing the Party” seeks to develop a tactical media performance tool thatmerges activism online (cyberactivism) with direct action protest in real spacein an effort to protest the 2004 Republican National Convention in NYC.

Amen!! We can't have any dissent or speech contrary to the 'our' opinion. Speaking out against the actions of the government? How dare they. Quell all speech contrary to the government's position. Don't they realize they're only free to believe what the government believes? That's liberty that is!!
Good to see you've bought the line the government is on 'our' side. Government, no matter who is in control, is never on the side of the citizens of the respective states
Knocking on the door and asking the person if they were aware of any violent activities being planned?
What horrifying abuse...
It's not abuse, it's making these idiots think twice before they do something STUPID and try to cause problems for the police and security during the convention, because everyone knows well enough that they surely were thinking about it.
Keep going brave subject. Tell me, when the 'they' group (not to be confused with the 'our' group for those of you in partisan world) is in control, will you be as gleeful with the FBI having set this precedent?
Personally I think it's disturbing that a so-called conservative would have no problem with intrusion by the FBI to follow up on nothing more than rumors. Agents canvassing their neighborhood? Why stop at agents? Perhaps we could get family members to call in those they disagreed with? Besides the amount of manhours it would create in following up with ridiculous leads, what about the issue of dissent? The government says it's not pursuing those who dissent so we believe them? Glad you trust the national government so much. Heaven knows they know what's best for you....
BUMP!
Very well said. So wonderful that mindless adoration and following of Bush has compelled almost every conservative in America do drop opposition to policies that they would have screamed about if Clinton had done them. Welcome to the "conservative" Gulag.
Sorry... this "so-called conservative" is not so delicate as to get the vapors simply by having an agent knock on her door and ask if she know anything about violent activities planned.
Knee-jerk anti-government folks are so sure we'll end up on the bottom of a slippery-slope that they seem to need smelling salts while we are still at the top.
Nice try.... this has nothing to do with mindlessly adoring Bush and everything to do with witnessing the violence and destruction the hard left employs as a tool of "dissent".
I'd approve of law enforcement taking these actions no matter who was president and think it too bad that they were not able to prevent the Seattle riots of 1999.
