NEED FREEPERS IN LONGMONT, CO AREA TO RALLY AGAINST ANTI-WAR, ANTI-ASHCROFT PROTESTERS DEMONSTARTING INSIDE THE PUBLIC LIBRARY TODAY AT 12:30. (THEY ARE PLANNING TO FORM A LONG LINE OF PEOPLE TAKING -OUT BOOKS WITH "CONTROVERSIAL TITLES" AS A PROTEST) Unfortunately the Libary has decided to "help things go more smoothly" and added more staff, thereby supporting the protesters so they don't have to wait so long to be able to take out the same "controversial" title.!! THIS PROTEST WAS 'ADVERTISED' IN THE BOULDER CAMERA. SORRY FOR THE LATE NOTICE. ANYONE IN THE AREA PLEASE RESPOND. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO WAVE YOUR FLAG!!!

? Huh ?

You are protesting a protest because people want to be able to read books in the library without reporting the titles to the government? Do you honestly believe any true conservative would waste their day yelling at fellow citizens because they want a less intrusive government?

Take a moment to recognize common ground between ideologies and appreciate the irony of the situation. That would be time better spent.

Do those "radical titles" include books like "Invasion" by Michelle Malkin, "The Death of the West" by Pat Buchanan & "Slander" by Ann Coulter? Those are what most graduates of "library science" consider radical.

Sounds like similar tactics as someone taking Soldier of Fortune magazines out of the gym I am a member of after I took 'em in. Hope they are reading 'em, but more than likely they were trashed.

Lighten up friends. A new person posted for the first time. I live in Longmont (I am familiar with this group) and I found the information they posted useful.
The rally the poster is speaking about was really an anti-war/hate America rally(with all the usual suspects); using the "patriot" act as a smoke screen. The sponsoring group was one of those "peace and justice" communist front groups connected with A.W.A.R.E. (Ramsey Clark-IAC) They have been protesting the 'war for oil' for the last several months.
The use of "Patriot Act Protest" was a simply a ruse to get publicity for their pathetic 30 person anti-war demonstration.
One additional point, the poster was trying to make, is that public library employees had been ordered to aid, abet and facilitate the demonstrators. Library staff were ordered to suspend normal procedures and give special help to the phony protesters.

General concensis seems to run that the notoriously leftist librarians (think NPR) are seeking to "lose" the conservative books from their collections.
