[NYC GOP Chick]

James Estrin/The New York Times

Casa Del Sol, a squatters building in Mott Haven, will house many protestors during the Republican National Convention.

[Prime Choice]

Wanted: Sleeping Space for Protesters. Hot Water Optional.

Translation: allow strangers into your home -- and don't worry, we don't bathe.

[rhombus]

Try the subway or how about a local jail?

[Dan from Michigan]

Maybe they'll get a shower for a change.....

[cripplecreek]

"Hot Water Optional."

Supply me with coffee to fill my bladder and a second story window and I'll "git er done".

[Spok]

Send them to the Bates Hotel.

[wideawake]

Note to psychos: dumb people in NYC are letting strangers stay in their apartments with almost no questions asked. Do something witchy.

BTW, NYCGOPC, what's the answer to your tagline?

[FeliciaCat]

Oh...where to start?!!!?!??

This ones a keeper: ...."Another says that the apartment can accommodate six people, or perhaps more if the guests are "creative sleepers."....

And I this one gets a giggle:.."This Is Our Community. Clean Up After Your Dog. Prevent Fascism..."

But I have to say...this one says it all: "The least comprehended people in a society are the most beautiful."

The great unwashed...coming soon to a Starbucks near you!
Oh joy!

yes, I know what everyone is thinking and I am sure I would agree.

But look at the flipside - give the left credit for being willing and organized well enough to do something like this. our side could never pull something like this off, I can't think of a single issue where they right would take to the streets with such an organized movement - and provide the support structure to make it happen.

and yes, we will look at these protestors with revulsion - but there are plenty of stupid sheeple out there who will not.

Other optional items:

Razor, deodorant, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste.

Imagine the fun NY Conservatives could have if -- one by one -- all managed to get accommodations where the Leftists are staying and then set up to make enough noise and/or enough stink during the night so that the Leftists/Greenies/Commies/Appeaseniks don't get any sleep.

Talk about counter-protest...

Though her accommodations are modest, Ms. Eidson expects seven houseguests in her two-bedroom apartment during the Republican National Convention. Aside from those traveling with their partners, the guests have never met. Yet they share common ground in their intention to protest in the streets and their willingness to depend on the kindness of strangers.

Oh man oh man, I wish they were airing this apartment 24 hours round the clock for the week!

They are so absolutely going to despise each other by day two! I would pay to watch the Canadians try to broker an uneasy peace between the two lesbians and the biker activist girl.

“Can we all calm down, eh?”
“If I have to hear one more goddamned Indigo Girls song I’m going to tear their heads off!”
“You filthy f*#king breeder! How dare you insult the Indigo Girls!”
“Perhaps we could have a little quite time, eh?”
“Back off Frenchie, or I’ll wrap your nutsack around your neck!”
"Get that f#*king camera out of my f*#king face!"

[KC_Conspirator]

These protesters are nothing but hate-America filth and should be deported since they hate the country do much. On Hannity's show the other day some protester was encouraging violence.

[AppyPappy]

Father Kooperkamp has persuaded about three dozen religious institutions to open basements, sanctuaries, gymnasiums and parish halls, enough room for about 500 protesters in all. Though he shares the protesters' politics and intends to demonstrate against the convention, he speaks of other motivations.

RICO!!!

[Texas_Jarhead]

"Those seeking a somewhat more comfortable stay can go across the river to Harlem, where the Rev. Earl Kooperkamp expects to house 30 to 50 protesters at St. Mary's Episcopal Church, near the 26th Precinct station house. His guests can choose between the wooden pews or the cool tile floor downstairs."

I'm sure if political affiliations were reversed the ACLU / PU / et al. wouldn't say a word about the church losing its tax exempt status. </ sarc>

[Repairman Jack]

After sorting through dozens of responses, Ms. Aronowitz said, she settled on three young men from Florida who "just sounded honest."

So did Ted Bundy.

[coconutt2000]

I can see the headlines now...

Day After GOP Convention Sees Thousands Of Complaints Of Vandalism

Eventually the story will clarify that the protesters were the source of the vandalism, and the complaints were filed by their hosts who found themselves missing money and valuables.

[Lil'freeper]

Another says that the apartment can accommodate six people, or perhaps more if the guests are "creative sleepers."

Considering the freaks that are involved in the protest culture, I don't think creativity will be a problem.

[Libertarian444]

I hear there are plenty of rooms available at Rikers Island....
