On tonight's NBC Evening News, they had a brief helicopter video snippet of a NYC motorist, apparently inconvenienced by The Left's little bicycle protest last night, beating the crap out of one of the bike weenies.

I think the protesters will end up pissing off regular New Yorkers.

Nah. We send 'em to forced labor camps at the new Halliburton-run oil fields at ANWR. With whatever clothing they're wearing when arrested.

Leftist protestors and Democratic Party supporters have promised to hit New York City in force during next week's Republican National Convention -- and many of them are openly advocating violence. The “RNC Not Welcome” website advises its protestors, “The only time it's okay to speak about illegal actions is when you are planning them with the small group of trusted people who will be doing the action with you.” This website is far from alone in its open calls to perpetrate violence in the streets to a degree not seen since 9/11. Yet New York City authorities -- Republican authorities, at that -- are offering these protestors into town, even giving these “tourists” discounts during their stay in the Big Apple.

Here is the RNC Not Welcomed Website:

If someone asks what Kerry's activity 30 years ago has to do with the issues of today, two words:

Tom Hayden

The Left's Battle for New York

Excerpt:

Sixties radical activist and Occidental College professor Tom Hayden has also chimed in with his own op-ed suggesting that the more chaotic the protests, the better. Hayden should know: he is an expert in manufacturing violent protests -- like the infamous riot he maliciously engineered at the 1968 Democratic Convention. During his revolutionary days in the late 1960s and 1970s, Hayden called for guerrilla warfare throughout America and championed the violent thugs of the Black Panthers. He headed the Berkeley commune of urban guerrillas called the “Red Family," whose political guru was Korean dictator Kim Il Sung, and whose "Minister of Defense" gave members weapons training and taught high school students how to use explosives.

Hayden’s loyalties are as transparent as ever. During the Vietnam War, he not only supported the victory of the communists, but traveled himself many times to North Vietnam, Czechoslovakia and Paris to meet with communist North Vietnamese and Viet Cong leaders. Today, his hopes for the victory of America’s enemy in the War on Terror is clearly evident -- only the fellow traveling is missing.

With the Republican Convention approaching, it's not really surprising that Hayden chafes at the idea that "protesters are supposed to behave themselves lest they throw the election to Bush." Instead, loyal to his traditions, he would prefer to have police "defending the GOP convention as if it is the Green Zone in Baghdad." He also notes that while many protestors "may think of New York as the apocalypse itself," the fight must go beyond the convention, following George. W. Bush wherever he goes -- intimidating and disrupting his campaign in Brown Shirt and Red Guard style. This will show voters that if Bush wins in 2004, "he will plunge the country into strife not seen since the '60s."

Most major protest sites have featured Hayden's essay prominently. The former communist-collaborator obviously advocates blackmailing America into voting against a political candidate -- much like al-Qaeda in Madrid, though on a smaller scale.



Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

The only reason these violent insurrectionists haven't yet been arrested is the absolute certainty of propaganda support from the mainstream media. The media, lazy cattle and creatures of habit that they are, would simply continue their 35 year Big Lie of representing this scum as "peaceful protestors practicing their Constitutional rights." This makes any attempt at prosecution really more trouble than it is worth for publicity-concious politicians. Anyone else remember the media circus and propaganda frenzy surrounding the trial of the "Chicago Seven" in the late 60s?
For this reason, I believe that the media should be a prime focus for any counter-action, along with media-culture totalitarian enabler organizations like ANSWER.

I'm a volunteer assigned to one of the "priority" hotels (meaning that one or more top delegations are staying there), and we have to be so careful about info that we give out -- even to delegates!

Stay safe and keep your back covered! I wouldn't trust any of these idiots.

Indymedia.org also coordinating with maps, etc. They've distributed free papers in NYC, also, with guides to various protests.

Makes me wonder though if the NYPD REALLY dismantled it.
