Compilation of interviews/reports of my day trip to the convention to support President Bush vs the so-called "peace" protesters...


TOPICS: Activism/Chapters; Culture/Society; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: alvy; gop; nyc; rnc
The hatred and anger, the profanity used towards their fellow Americans, was on full display Sunday...I'm not surprised at all to see Delegates being harrassed or that a police officer was attacked...Hopefully the city prosecutes to the full extent of the law. I enjoyed hanging out at Fox News, that was fun...

Hey FRiend, can you click the reference and paste/post the first article from there on this thread. My company's intranet blocks me from going there.

Several news reports about our own Alvy and his support for President Bush during Sunday's so-called "peace" protests...

Jon Alvarez of New York stands across from Madison Square Garden in support of President Bush as more than 100,000 protesters approach from the south.

From "Mother Jones":

Immoderate Republicans

By Barry Yeoman

August 30, 2004

...The real scene-stealer on this corner, though, is Jon Alvarez, membership coordinator of the Onondaga County Young Republicans in Syracuse, N.Y.. A 38-year-old salesman with a stylish goatee, he had left his house late Saturday, then drove through the night, arriving in New York City at 6 a.m. to show his support for the president.

Rank-and-file activists like Alvarez offer a more transparent window into the Republican Party than the parade of moderates that will address the delegates inside Madison Square Garden this week. While George Bush’s handlers might be vetting every word spoken at the convention, Alvarez and others like him feel no such restrictions. It’s here on the street -- not inside the arena -- that the unfiltered rhetoric of GOP activists can be heard.

"Liberals provide aid and comfort to our enemy with their words, their hatred," says Alvarez, who runs a pro-Bush web site that calls for a boycott of "anti-American Hollywood." Politically apathetic till Sept. 11, he has become a minor Republican celebrity since, calling for Michael Moore to stand trial for treason and lumping the ACLU in with Iran and North Korea as the Axis of Evil. Today, on Seventh Avenue, he’s waving a hand-lettered sign declaring, "Bush Must Win," and telling anyone who will listen how much the GOP’s critics anger him.

"What they’ve done–if you look at their shirts and slogans–they have an alliance with the liberal media to ram home the message that President Bush is a liar," Alvarez says. "What did Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propagandist, say? 'If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.'"

BTW, just to clarify the confusion about the police officer who was attacked......Originally, it was a female uniformed cop on a scooter who was surrounded and jostled by demonstraters..she put out a call for help..all nearby officers responded, including the UC cop who was beaten.. BTW..he's home, recovering, and they have caught the perp...the guy who kicked and beat the officer when he was on the ground..he was recognized by police while he was at another demonstration and arrested..

Off-topic, but what happened to your columns on DeansPlanet? Haven't seen one in awhile.
