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.

Some speaker said the word “outsourced” today and the camera went to a woman in the crowd who turned to the woman next to her and asked “What’s outsourced mean?” That explains a lot. It’s not that hard to get idiots to vote for you.
You mean the 3am Walmart crowd???
Laughing out loud is rrraaaacis! :)
These are the “smart” people who are the central planners of our health care now. Yikes!
...what on Earth did you expect from a gathering of some of the most radical liberal freaks ever put together?
Given some of the folks I have seen so far at Occupy Charlotte, the BO must be staggering in that arena..
too many people?
Milbank said something about there being only 6,000 or so and its rated for 15,000
Maybe they can find some windows to crawl in through like they did at the Wisconsin state Capitol.
Talk about bad planning... Sandra Fluke AND Bill Clinton on the same day. Hope Sandra likes cigars.
“Not that I care but what maroons are running their convention?”
I would say it is a safe bet that pulled them from the same population who is running our government.
Well, will the media cover for the D&C this time? The Miami media here in Florida has shown nothing but the photo ops Obama and his army of Idiots has desired...no alternate points of view have been presented. Several Miami stations are reporting on the event, and I have seen nothing but fawning coverage over the Obama Worship Parade.
The doors have been re-opened and folks let in.
You can’t make this stuff up. Hey, DNC, Rush thanks you for giving him more material for tomorrow’s show!
Not going to happen- she’s AWOL according to Hot Air...cancelling interviews with local media in Charlotte!!! LOLOLOL!
Democratic National Committee chiefs Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Patrick Gaspard cancelled interviews with local media outlets tonight, amid controversy surrounding the party’s decision to reintroduce “God” and “Jerusalem” to the platform…
Blair Miller of WSOC TV, ABC’s Charlotte, N.C., affiliate, also tweeted that Wasserman Schultz cancelled her interview with him, without explanation. “After my Romney intv today, we were planning to interview @DWSTweets live,” he wrote. “However, she did not show up. Her staff not answering calls.”
That’s what I’ve been thinking all night!! Can’t wait for Rush tomorrow. Between this and the fiasco earlier it’s going to be a great show tomorrow.
Apparently they kept to their ideals and didn’t bother checking IDs on who they let in?
How do you oversell a convention?
They are running the country, via a inactive Reid senate and a dictat Obamo
This could be interesting. :-)
