While I'm sure many here will rejoice at the spectacle of the Democratic party being ripped by the left, I myself am concerned with the mainstreaming of pro-terrorist groups like Code Pink, UFPJ and ANSWER into our body politic.

Denver will be burning in August.

But isn’t Abby Hoffman dead ?

I have a few clients like these people: The know the cost of everything and value of nothing.

Why do they delight in doing such things?

I think it’s because they would rather hide their heads in the sand than do something to fix genuine problems the nation faces.

Just like in 1968, it’s much easier to take a toke on a joint than it is defending your country.

Putzes.

We could only hope for a recreation of 68, but it’s probably out of reach. This generation of anarchists can’t begin to compare with the hippies of the 60’s, their drug culture and ability to demonstrate against just about anything.

I double-dare them. That crap will not work these days.

Lovely. A re-run of the Seattle WTO riots, but scaled up. There will be no lack of agents provacateurs who will take it violent, then split to watch it all go up in flames. Let's hope that the country gets a real good look at what goes on. We might even get a two-fer if the MSM tries to spin it or sugar-coat it in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Come on folks, these Lefties are just Commies...

and if they want to rip the ‘Rat party apart,
let ‘em have at it!

Seattle redux? Good! Let the lefties, black-maskers, and turtle-suiters smash and burn everything in sight. The TV coverage will drive Ma and Pa Kettle away from the Dems in great, thundering herds, and the cell-hone videos on YouTube as the cops and Guards move in to take out the trash will provide the Internet Generation (and me) with hours of viewing pleasure.

And if they turn violent, it’ll be an opportunity to thin the herd as well.

Re-create ‘68!

[Jim Noble]

The whole world’s watching...

[Robert357]

I wonder if the anit-war types understand that the Clinton’s actually sanction the killing of US civilians. They need to think about what Arkancide means, before they plan to disrupt Hillary’s carefully orchestrated coronation script.

[JMJJR]

Visions of 68, oh yeah !!

I live 25 miles to the north, But I’ll bring some popcorn down to watch the show !

It’ll be fun to watch Denver try not to violate anyones civil rights....

..... and keep them from burning down the place.

Precisely. Should be interesting.

[jabonz08]

While I agree on your take, the festering idiots and kooks in those commie front groups will strip the last veils off the rat party and show the unwashed masses who are much less vigilant than Freepers the true face of the left.

POTESTAS IN POPULO

It'll be interesting to see how many of the protesters can't speak English.

It could turn into a reconquesta thingie.

I double-dare them. That crap will not work these days.

Didn't really work in those days, either. '68 was supposed to be a party to blow people's minds. The "party" crowd kinda did the productive thing and went in for a positive approach...supporting McCarthy...leaving the militants to butt heads with Daley...a guy you did not want to butt heads with on his home turf. Anymore, all you need is a couple of quarts of vegetable oil poured in a dumpster to make an impressive smoke cloud, and the idjit media will have their photo-op. A couple of hotheads to goad the cops into firing tear gas or bean-bags, and everybody starts chanting "The whole World is Watching." All of the planning that went into the '68 demonstration went out the window when King and Kennedy were shot. Today's chant might just as well be "The whole World is Watching...American Idol...on FOX." I don't think the current electorate has the desire for a fight.

Re-create ‘68!
