http://www.denverpost.com/ci_6054327 With thousands of demonstrators expected to descend on Denver for the 2008 Democratic National Convention, top city officials have been meeting with a protest group in hopes of minimizing the potential for conflict.
And the City Council next week will consider a proclamation prepared by the group - dubbed Re-create '68 - that restates Denver's commitment to protecting First Amendment rights during the event.
Re-create '68 says "tens of thousands" of peace and community activists hope to make Denver a pivotal political convention when the delegates come to town Aug. 25-28 next year.
I'm so glad they are coming to my city/s
Link didn’t come out right, but you can find out more about th is group at their website “recreate 68” sounds lovely, doesn’t it.
Why would the Democrats want to alienate their allies?
HRC: “Bill shuns mine for 69”
I think these are the folks that want to be sure the party swings far enough left during the convention. They admitted on radio interviews today that they want face time on national media for their pet issues (health care, etc)
I say we air drop in a bunch of assault weapons and ammunition so that they can keep the peace even better.
not a bad plan, but I need to install bullet proof glass in my house first.
If you bring the assault rifles I’ll bring the napalm and burgers. We’ll have a barbacue afterwords.
I can’t decide if I should leave town that week or if I should make up a big batch of tofu burritos and set up shop in front of the convention center...
Ah, Geez. They're not even getting into the spirit of things. You can't "recreate '68" without some good, old-fashion cop on hippie head thumpin'!
Hey, I’d pay the price of admission to see some good, old-fashioned cop-on-code-pink-transvestite head thumpin!
“I say we air drop in a bunch of assault weapons and ammunition so that they can keep the peace even better.”
Me, I want this convention on every over-the-air, cable and satellite channel, TV and radio. I want everyone to see what the Dems are REALLY for (hint: it ain’t the troops).
Can you blame him?...
why not do both? But I’m definitely leaving town that week.
"Their allies" to the democrats is analogous to we strict-constructionist conservatives are to the republicans. We just express ourselves differently.
Why not? My tofu burritos would probably sell out quickly and I could make enough to finance a trip out of town. Still, it might be fun to stay and watch the freak show...
What to do? What to do? I am so confused! :)
