A protester holds a flower out to riot police outside the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota September 4, 2008. Police offered her a vase for her flower and then arrested her for possessing a Minnesota Yellow Gerbera Daisy, which is on the state endangered list. Illegal harvesting or sale of the flower carries a $30,000 fine and two years in prison.

How did those Code Pink goats get into the convention hall? One lady appeared to be charging the stage and it took too long to stop her. Disconcerting.

More pictures welcome.

Must be more of those “Community Organizers” Sarah Palin was referring to.

How did those Code Pink goats get into the convention hall?

There was a small hole in the baseboards of X Cel Hall.

Hmmmm...Rush says they got their passes from folks at MSNBC.

Last night on various blogs it was stated that the protesters came from the media sections of the hall.

And this morning Laura Ingraham said that the code pink girl was from the NBC booth.

So, it seems speculation is moving towards the media.

I wonder if we could get a good look at a pic and see if she had a “press pass”.

McCain laughed at her.Great pics.

Here is video of the senior citizen hippie that tried to charge the stage. I’m serious— how did that nut get so far without any security stopping her?

Jessica OrganicGrapeJuice-Why the sour face?

[DoughtyOne]

Future first lady, whose husband will sleep around on her even
in the Oral Office, commit high crimes which will go unpunished,
and will wind up being a bitter old wind bag from the state of
New York.  Will never be president.  Will blame male voters...

File this under "This job cannot pay nearly enough". The dude smells so bad, a gas mask is required gear.

I rioted at the 2008 Republican National Convention and all
I got was this crappy old sweatshirt and six months in jail...

Conventions
No Charges for McCain Speech Protestors
By Paul Kane
ST. PAUL — Joanna Burgos, spokeswoman for the Republican National Convention, said late Thursday night that the demonstrators protesting John McCain's position on the war inside the River Centre were not arrested.

They had their convention credentials removed and were escorted from the building but did not face criminal charges because of their First Amendment rights.

“They didn't break any laws, they only broke the rules of the convention,” Burgos said.
Such actions inside the halls of Congress are considered a felony for disrupting the federal government.

(I wonder how she got those credentials....and what her name is)

If the media enabled these people to get in, what’s to prevent an assassin from getting in. Whoever allowed this to happen should have their passes pulled, FOREVER.

Rush indicated this morning it may have been MSNBC, Makes sense that they would sneak protesters into the convention hall to make news......

[Cinnamon Girl]

Exactly. She was charging for the stage like a mad cow. What if she’d made a shiv out of the toilet paper holder in the ladies bathroom? No joke.
