The Democratic National Convention has descended in to chaos today both inside and outside the Time Warner arena in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Following the debacle earlier today of the ramming through over the loud objections of delegates of pro-God, pro-Israel language to the platform, fire marshalls have locked down the arena leaving a reported thousands of credentialed delegates and reporters stranded outside.

Reporters on Twitter are sending out on scene reports and photographs with commentary such as "mayhem", "fail" and "farce".

"Democratic convention descending into farce. After "booing God" debacle, delegates, and media locked out of the convention by fire marshals" , Nico Hines, Times of London.

"Complete nightmare for the DNC. Thousands of delegates and media stuck outside. Fire marshals have closed the building. #DNCFAIL", Matt Spence, Times of London.

While many were locked out, Jake Tapper was tweeting photos of empty seats.

I laughed at this until I realized that here we have an old-school reporter using the only means open to him to get the truth out. The Dems have learned they can sanitize YouTube, which they did. Twitter will be next.

I would appreciate if He’d take revenge on the guilty party and spare the whole Nation. :)

Schadenfreude.

Probably a sin, but that’s what GRACE is for!

Rush’s dissection of Moochelle’s speech had me rolling. Poor put-upon Barack, having to dumpster dive for a coffee table! Paging Kramer! Need to add that table to his Coffee Table book.

Hey, the hippies want to re-live their glory days?

You NAILED it. Been around these old libs. All they talk about is how important THEIR generation was with THEIR music, blah, blah, blah. You would think they were taking about the ‘glory days’ fighting the Nazis in WW2. It’s quite hilarious, really. When, deep down, they really ENVIED their parents.

>> Big night tonight : Sandra Fluke, BJ Clinton and Elizabeth Warren. What more could you ask for? <<


Excellent timing. Slick Willie will cop a feel off Sandra and Elizabeth in between their "GOP doesn't respect women" speeches. Drives home the point of why they need the government to pay $3000 for contraceptives when Bubba is around the ladies.

LOL!

Sounds like someone finally got to Debbie and gave her the word to shut up and disappear.

I'd bet she'll disappear for good from the DNC, hopefully from the House too.

That must have been when I looked in on the proceedings for a measly second. I was wondering why the place wasn't filled on the second day. Liberalism=Chaos

I wonder...

This would be perfect timing for the liars to proclaim themselves the victims of a plot by a political enemy terrorist... A whitey “lone wolf” or “Tea party racist.” Maybe it will be a Jooooo this time?

Just wait until the debacle of having Susan White as a guess speaker the DNC being copycats of what the Republicans did by having Clint Eastwood speak.... America see's it... they are watching.
The DNC convention looks more like a really bad MTV video or SNL skit.

“Maroon” .... Term made famous by Bugs Bunny meaning a pushover, or one easily fooled.

A dope, fool, idiot, or nincompoop.

Unbelievably stupid person.

Might have been derived from moron: adding an extra letter “o” to moron meaning double-moron, thus a maroon.
