Well, the way I see it, everyone on this site knows what Medea Benjamin looks like, so surely she could be kept outby the Secret Service.

I think we should have a bunch of fake "moderate" Republicans who are really conservatives armed with info from Swift Boat Vets, Kerry's voting record, etc.

If the leftists start yelling, then our side starts yelling, too. If the whole thing degenerates into a free-for-all ruckus, at least it will be interesting.

Then of course she immediately runs to the media , and they unquestioningly pick up her water and respond with a barrage of outraged editorials, accusing the administration of trying to do what they are doing, packing the audience. Only the adminstration is packing the audience by "trampling all over the First Amendment rights of legitimate voices of dissent."

I say bring it on. Let Medea Benjamin help her candidate by showing the public the true face of the democratic party. Let John Kerry be seen with the people who represent the core of his support, a bunch of flag-burners, appeaseniks, moral cowards and pathological America-haters.

You would think so. But she managed to sneak onto the floor of the RNC and screech at Cheney. After watching the lack of security (five people were able to get into the RNC and scream at Bush and Cheney), I definitely think security is a big concern.
