So far, there have been more arrests in New York City than there were during the entire Democratic National Convention in Boston.
Things are said to be winding up by this afternoon --I'm bailing out of the City early today!

"Reverend Jesse Jackson, filmmaker Michael Moore and actor Danny Glover are expected to be here."
Three of the Democrat's finest mouthpieces, to be sure.

Did you read that USA Today..the same rag that censored ASnn Coulter's coulumn, gave Moore mdeia credentials, and he's going to be on the convention floor..The GOP should revoke them..

I want to know what the protesters expect to get out all this. The Republicans are obviously not going suddenly change their party and the Democrats are already on board.
Would the sight of a dozen hairy, naked homosexual protesters really capture the minds and hearts of swing voters?

Moore and USA Today are using each other. The newspaper to sell more newspapers and Moore to create more crockaganda for forthcoming bs. It sells. Bottom line.

"Protest organizers discounted complaints from onlookers."
This is not 1968 and this is going to backfire hugely.

The GOP should revoke them..No they shouldn't. They should just not permit him to film at the RNC.
He's coming as a print journalist, let him be a print journalist and nothing else.

I agree- I hope their protests are just as obnoxious as usual because they're going to cost Kerry a lot of votes.

But earlier in the day, police arrested a dozen "Act-Up" members who stripped as part of an "AIDS" protest outside of the garden. Is this freaking surreal or what? What do they want to prove? Kerry should be proud of who is the enemy of his enemy.

If they were really smart.....
Wait until the day prior to the arrival of the delegates and quickly and quietly arrest the leaders of the anarchist. Then let them sit in the clink until after the convention.
The followers (Not known for much grey matter between their ears) will still run amuck but their efforts will be uncoordinated by the professionals!

cool.
People in the country get to see the real Kerry voters!
To: beyondashadow
in a related story the "anti-war coalition" tried to stage a rally today in Athens in order to capitalize on the cameras.
After setting up in front of "Panapestimiou" Square, it appeared nobody showed up between the hours of 10am and 4pm. (my travels took me past them a few times)
There was just two or three lone organizers with one person speaking over a speaker with a very poooooor accent. (speaking greek with a weird accent).
I snaped a few quick shots. It is the same suspects as in the WTO protests. yawn.
