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.

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?

"Protest organizers discounted complaints from onlookers."

This is not 1968 and this is going to backfire hugely.

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!

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.

I met an aging, funky hippie yesterday that said he was going to NY city for this rally. He was a piece of work. With his 60's, balding frizzy hair to his shoulders, complete with 2 braids from his crown laying in the frizzy mess and dressed like a homeless person. He used to be a teacher. Every fact that I gave him about Kerry was shouted down with "Opinion!" Idiot.

**So far, in 24 hours, there have been more arrests in New York City than there were during the entire, weeklong, Democratic National Convention in Boston.**

How will the dims spin this?

These people are so radical and, in most cases, simply nuts that they will only drive people toward the Republican party. All the protesters, arrests, nude sit-ins, anarchist-flung molotovs, and pepper spray will only do George Bush good. Let these freaks dig their own grave--we'll provide the shovel.

They are here and perhaps a little earlier than expected.

I expected it. It's not like these people have jobs or anything to go to.

I saw some coverage of this on FNC this morning.

I liked hearing about the banner, which had "TRUTH" with an arrow pointing right, and "BUSH" with an arrow pointing left. I don't think they really thought out the implications of that symbolism.

Maybe I'll send an email to the group, agreeing with them: On many matters(CFR,immigration), the truth is actually to the right of Bush.

We need to pray for the many policemen and women who will be doing their best to protect us and NYC property.

FATHER GOD, we speak your Word over the NYC policemen and women .. "NO weapon formed against them can prosper, and every tongue that rises up against them is condenmed already". Isaiah 54:17 (GOD watches over HIS Word to perform it - we just gave GOD carte-blanche to watch over NYC).

It's too bad they didn't hold this convention in a state that allows its citizens to carry concealed weapons - such as Georgia. If the protesters showed up here, us gun-totin' Southerners would make certain sure they behaved themselves.

Of course they couldn't hold the convention in Atlanta - it's worse than New York. Maybe Toomsboro would be a good venue. They've got a hotel and everything.
