Where can I donate :-)
Don’t these people have jobs?
In ‘68 they had fire hoses, dogs and nightsticks.
Let’s recreate 68? Okay with you, okay with me...
"Recreate 68" doesn't seem to want to wait and see. They're just gettin' ready to Rumble!!
Fine idea. The GOP was victorious in ‘68.
So, how did that work out the first time?
The whole world is watching!
Let me be the first to lay the blame squarely on the Denver police ("police riot!") -- and suggest that the commission be formed now so that they can have their report out in time for the actual events. Before or after, it won't make a lick of difference in the conclusions of the "commission."
No need even for photos of police violence from other countries, they have Photoshop today.
One of the best things to come out of the Chicago DNC Convention in 1968 was that Ted Kennedy DIDN’T run. Mayor Daley wanted him to and of course, his brother Bobby had just been assassinated...so, who better for the DNC to choose than Ted?
Can you even imagine it? *SHIVER*
The second best thing was the clubbing of many YIPPIES (Abbie Hoffman’s group.)
Pass the popcorn.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.
There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be right back after a message
bbout a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver’s seat.
The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.
If it is coed I suggest the "pigs" be invited also, they can sharpen up their tasering skills.
Recreate 1968? Does this mean that they will announce a street concert by the Rolling Stones and The Beatles and deliver the MC5 instead and no planned power supply?
“recreate ‘68”?
OMG, these folks are truly batty.

Question: why does the Left always protest at the Democrat’s convention instead of the Republican one? The Dems are so on the Left’s side now, that it makes no sense to protest them. (Yea, I know: these fools couldn’t use logic if they were locked in a mathematical formula). But I do wonder.
Recreate ‘68, Ruckus, Code Pink, they’re all the same or at least overlapping domestic terrorist groups. Here’s an article from last month, Investors’ Business Daily.
Terrorism’s Left Turn
By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Thursday, March 06, 2008 4:30 PM PT
Domestic Terrorism: A group burns some new homes it thinks are an affront to nature. A nut riding a bicycle explodes a small bomb at a military recruiting center on Times Square. Any connection? We think so.

As for Thursday morning’s bomb, there’s a lot of speculation about who set it off. Islamic extremists? Groups affiliated with Code Pink, Ruckus, Recreate ‘68 and other extreme left-wing groups? All possible, but none proven — yet.
That said, the apocalyptic rhetoric and verbal violence of the far left is starting to be translated into acts of terrorism. Soon, someone’s going to get hurt badly or even killed if we don’t stop it now.
We’ve been here before. The extreme-left anarchists of the late 19th century even had a phrase for it: “The propaganda of the deed.” In modern terms, it means talk is cheap but violence is real.
That seems to be the guiding principle for some of these groups. Yes, the explosion at Times Square killed no one. But maybe the next one will.
Ditto Monday’s home burnings by eco-terrorists in Washington state. Just homes destroyed, no lives. But what next?
Emboldened by their own over-the-top rhetoric and by getting away with their crimes so far, whoever is doing these things will ratchet up the violence. They crave the attention. That’s why they chose the Army recruitment center in Times Square as a target. It’s glitzy, and they knew it would get lots of media.
This is not just any recruitment center. According to the Associated Press, it has been the busiest recruitment center in the U.S. for more than half a century, averaging about 10,000 volunteers a year.
We wish this were an isolated incident, but it isn’t.
As Catherine Moy noted on the MelanieMorgan.com Web site, there’s been a rash of recent attacks on military recruiters across the country — in Washington, D.C.; Berkeley, Calif.; Minneapolis; Milwaukee; Santa Monica, Calif.; Toledo, Ohio; Murfreesboro, Tenn.; Pittsburgh; Haverhill, Mass., and now New York.
And this, Moy adds, is only a partial list.
Groups such as Code Pink, Recreate ‘68 and Ruckus have threatened recruiters around the country. Like the spoiled, ignorant children they are, they feel entitled to violently act out their puerile rage against the U.S. for its war against terrorism.
Recreate ‘68, for instance, serves as a kind of umbrella organization for like-minded extremists. At its Web site, it describes what it calls “Direct Action” — a nice, value-neutral phrase for terrorism.
If they don’t get what they want — like a pullout of our troops in Iraq — they threaten to disrupt this summer’s Democratic Convention in Denver. Who knows where this will lead?
Code Pink justifies its antics — like staging protests outside the Reed Army Medical Center, where real American heroes are treated for their wounds — as being “outrageous for peace.” Part of being “outrageous” included sending $600,000 in aid to the families of terrorists in Iraq who were killing our soldiers.
Nor is this just about politics, or the war in Iraq.
The Earth Liberation Front’s burning of three luxury show homes near Seattle is also part of a trend. Green terrorists have caused more than $200 million in damage in recent years, and threaten to do more. They too are a danger.
Again, we don’t know who set off the bombs. But we do know that these groups have contributed to an atmosphere of extreme anger and violent action that makes even more possible.
So saturated in rage are those on the far left, they’ll justify destruction of property or attacks on our democracy as moral necessities. But violent speech to violent acts isn’t much of a leap. Eventually, mark our words, human lives will be taken.
I guess Obama wasn’t cozying up to Bill Ayres and Bernadette Dorn for nothing.
High-intensity, I hope.
