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.

My take is that Satan and his minions were generating so much heat the fire marshalls thought it had to be over crowded.

"Apparently teleprompter said that no matter who yelled what, its a go for reinstatement ala damage control."Except you have to f it up to the point where some queen bee factotum sidles up behind you in front of God and everybody and says in a loud stage whisper, "It's a voice vote, you take it, and then whatever happens, happens."

I want to see a commercial:
"If Democrats can't even run a convention with any kind of harmony, even though they are all supposedly in agreement, why should anyone believe they can run the country... except into the ground?

I know that at least half the delegates lost their minds when God and Jerusalem were forced back into their platform. Could be that there was real trouble after that one. When you let the insane think that they run the asylum and set the agenda for nearly four years, there is sure to be a huge backlash when the wardens step in and try to change the rules. This could get really fun.

Where is the “Big Tent” for the party when they need it?
To: kristinn
Perhaps this is the Wellstone moment we’ve been waiting for. All we need now is for Obama to go psycho in his acceptance speech.
Let’s have some chanting from the locked-out delegates.
Down with Jerusalem!
Down with G-d!
Down with petroleum.
Ain’t we odd?

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. Tapper isn't too biased. Just by the nature of being an inside the beltway reporter, his perspective is often insider, but he calls a pretty straight game.

Actually, this reminds me of Texas, 2008. Remember the Clinton caucus members who claim they were locked out of the caucus sites by Obama's people?
How about the NY Senate locking out the new republican majority in 2009?
The dems need new tricks.

No win either way. Obama forcing the delegates to vote his way with disregard to rule of law is how BO runs the government....just another EO.
