Hangin’ with the ‘bats; Update: Anarchists wimp out
Your Sunday afternoon comic relief:
Hot Air special correspondent Jason Mattera rubs unwashed elbows with the moonbats in Denver.
Favorite line: “Deadly? How deadly? Like abortion deadly?”
***
Meanwhile, the anarchists wimp out. Recreate ‘68? Never mind:
A large crowd of war protesters are now marching to the Pepsi Center, site of the Democratic National Convention, which starts tomorrow.
Organized by Recreate 68 and other protest groups, the march leaders decided not to not disrupt an event at Civic Center, across the street from the state Capitol, as they had pledged. That event, featuring merchants selling wares from booths, is sponsored by the Denver committee hosting the convention.
Recreate 68 said months ago it would occupy Civic Center in violation of the host committee permit.
Recreate 68’s Larry Hales says early threats to take Civic Center were meant to start a dialogue.
Glenn Spagnuolo, a Recreate 68 leader, said they had worked it out with police to use Colfax and
The lefties’ big triumph? Yelling at a Fox News crew:
At one point, demonstrators confronted a Fox News camera crew, screaming that Fox is biased in its news coverage. Amid chants of “Fox has got to go”, and “Fox, go home,” state state troopers moved in and separated the most vocal protesters from the camera crew.
Revolution!
St. Cindy Sheehan (who?) also made an appearance, along with other moldy oldies:
Recreate 68 co-founder protester Mark Cohen called presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama part of an imperialist system.
Ron Kovic, the anti-war activist whose paralyzing injuries in Vietnam were chronicled in his book “Born on the Fourth of July,” told the crowd, “We refuse to be silent …. we are going to speak our minds. The whole world is watching.”
And yawning.

Seen a few of the protest crew on Fox News today. What a hoot they are.
Holy Moly Guacamole…..
Watching those vids is depressing knowing there are people that pathetic out walking around…..
He should ask them how many brain cells they fry each day.
Good Grief.
Crap, I have a $100 bet riding that there will be blood…or at least a few burning cars.
AJ,
And you call my state “Floriduh”. You owe me an apology! LOL
Favorite line: “Deadly? How deadly? Like abortion deadly?”
Yep – fantastic and went right over the guy’s head. Not even listening.
Second best line: “They’re going to rewrite the Constitution and shove it down our throats!” Apparently liberals don’t listen to themselves very well, either.
Sorry Soap….
Seriously, I had to stop about half way through the 2nd Vid…
Harris, I think you’re going to lose that $100.00 These Protesters are all pansies.
I’m actually surprised we didn’t see them in the background with butterfly nets.
Part of the former USSR empire’s system, that is.
AJ,
You made it that far? You are a better man than I!!!
Harris, I say double the bet if you can, this is not the A team on the field. The professional agitators don’t punch the clock till Monday, when the MSM is in hungry full coverage mode.
Hey, give them a chance. They’re just practicing for the GOP convention.
i went to the protest this morning also to take photos. it was scary for me…the stench of the moonbat (aka pot) was most definitely in the air! i got to hear the end of cynthia mckinney’s rant, and ward churchill bloviate about how basically the whole world is occupied by the united states.

If you didn’t make it through the second video, you missed the part about what a great idea it would be to eliminate profit.
Right in line with the Obamanation platform … talk … talk … talk …
The Dem-wits have taken over Dem-ver …
They must be smoking up a storm because they are too elitist to drink Colorado Kool Aid (Coors) … it doesn’t suit their sensitive pallets … besides … Silver Bullets are too violent an image for their wimped-out psyches …
Jah, that tie-dye undercover disguise was spot-on, Jason. You fit right in, mon. I hope none of that kid’s spittle flew on you. Stupidity is contagious, don’cha know?
Those dudes are so…profound. Does that one guy know what “neo” means? Everything he thinks he hates is neo to him.
It’s unimaginable that Obambi could say that he stands for the U.S. Constitution, at least convincingly enough so others believe it. From what’s been said, or better, what he refuses to say, it seems more like he wants to do away with our constitution in favor of… well, he never says anything substantial, so who knows? We only know he seems to fear our existing Constitution and enjoys the company of anarchists.
Does anyone really believe this guy’s allegiance is to anyone or anything other than himself and his own arbitrary ideas?
Whenever I hear the word dialogue, I reach for my revolver.
On the other hand, the peace sign is nothing but a chicken footprint in a circle.
brooklyn red said, “The professional agitators don’t punch the clock till Monday, when the MSM is in hungry full coverage mode.”
Unfortunately, despite years of threats and years of organizing overhyped anti-American protests, moonbats have yet to pull off anything deserving more than a few yawns and eyerolls. I’m not holding my breath for Denver.
Great job Jason! I see a Borat type movie to be made. I hope you have lots of similar video!
Being there “rubbing unwashed elbows” with these mentally castrated kook-fringe lunatics would prompt me to wear a face mask and to head to the nearest shower ASAP. I’d imagine that a hog farm smells better than these leftie vermin.
Given the demon-crap pro-death stance on abortion/infanticide, I prefer to call it the “D & C Convention.”
MikeOK, come on, all it takes is one idiot & Harris wins the bet… I like those odds. If the bloody noes comes from a rubber bullet or just too much coke, blood is blood. Just ask John Kerry
Mama Moonbat? Why is she there? Isn’t she running her own campaign?
You think things are exciting now. Wait until Hillary shows up.
Where’s a good Denver Snow Storm when you want one?
So, recreate 68 means “Psych!” Just kidding about all that violence talk. We just wanted to be taken seriously and “open a dialogue.”
RIIIGGHHHTT
I guess they aren’t as young as they use to be in the 60’s..
No more sit ins.. gotta hit Denny’s for the early bird dinner starting at 4 PM..
then take the Metamucil..
Oh my. Mama Moonbat’s campaign is going swimmingly.
That was neo-too neo-funny..
Neo-everyone should neo-link over and neo-check it neo-out..
I hope Jason Mattera has a flak vest on underneath the tie dye.
Rewriting the Constitution and Shoving It Down Our Throats
That guy can’t even recite his own crappy poetry?…. I doubt he even Knows whats in the US Constitution.
Wow. congratulation you yell at a camera crew. That’s so brave of you.
/sarc
The real protestors will be the Hillary supporters, not these lame wackos.
I hate to break it to the unwashed and confused moonbat poet, but the only ones I see trying to re-write the US Constitution and shove it down our throats are people like him. Maybe they should try reading it instead of feeling how it should be written.
From the assault on the Fox News crew it appeared they don’t understand that pesky 1st Amendment right giving freedom of the press (not that the MSM has been responsible in exercising it most of the time).
Michelle and crew stay safe as you try to infiltrate the clueless spoiled petulant moonbats you never know what will make them turn rabid. This is going to be an interesting week so glad we have plenty of popcorn on hand.
Great coverage Michelle. Good work Jason.
Those people are completely normal, main stream democraps. They have acted exactly as I would imagine democraps to act, like illiterate morons.
The videos are an example why there should be a test before you are allowed to beed. LOL
As Forrest’s Momma said” Stupid is as stupid does ” and by the they videos they be doing stupid real well….. LOL
To think that young moron will be choosing someone’s nursing home! Serves his parents right for raising such a slug. As far as ‘the poet’ – reminds me of the old infomercial where it showed a frying egg on the sidewalk and said “this is your brain on crack.”
MM, your staff here and at HotAir (especially Mattera) – great job. Stay safe and we’re all volunteering to stand by to evacuate you if needed!
Also, I’m on the e-mail list for several Demtwits…
Amazing what they send out to their supporters.
24k, did you get the “magic text”?
Only 1000?
Cinco de Mayo = 125,000
Taste of Colorado = 500,000
Bronco first Superbowl win = 650,000
Whoop Dee Do.
Ewww.
Yeah, but ask any of these cheeba monkey’s, including the old dude, how to increase marijuana yield and they instantly turn into brilliant bio-chemists.
If they’d only apply themselves.
Well at least my old college roommate did. He went from college cheeba monkey (look it up), to a big time entepreneur. Bonus he’s now conservative.
Are any of these lgm’s students… is this extra credit?
There can be NO doubt. Liberalism is a DISEASE! The primary and most notable symptom is a near total disconnect from reality. Incoherence comes in a close second and memory loss seems almost as common.
“We refuse to be silent …. we are going to speak our minds. The whole world is watching.”
yeah, watching what a box of rocks with a mouth looks like….
Normal Moonbat Brain
I am a bit worried about our people (the conservatives) who are there. I watched the Fox newsman (I think his name is Griff) try to talk to Ward Churchill and get yelled at. Then he was followed around by some guy who looked a bit menacing to me! I’m really afraid something is going to happen to one of them, as they ask probing questions and get the moonbats a bit more rabid. You know that a lot of the radicals are in Denver for the express purpose of causing a riot and bashing some heads. They have been waiting a long time for this week.
AJ – no I didn’t get the magic text, and I’m fixin’ to throw a hissy fit. It’s obvious they don’t know who their messing with
These scenes bring back such memories of the Bizerkly of my youth. Yes, JT#36, every smelly greasy haired non-comformist I’ve ever known are the same ones now screaming about their stock market losses, decreases in their 401k’s, loss of equity in their 2nd or 3rd homes, & the inequity of taxation to pay for the smelly greasy haired people that refuse to work – leaning up against their Lexus dressed in expensive tennis/golf outfits with a tan from vacation. Warms the heart…

there were far less than 1000 people there, at least when i was there. the media can’t decide whether it was about 200 or more than 500. i’d place it at about 200, and half those people up in front of the capitol were media. it was a lame turnout. the pro-troop protesters were more vocal and into it than the anti-war folks.
Reminds me of the ‘68 convention. Not only did we not know what we were talking about (just quoting what sounded good), we just wanted to be seen on tv. Partying was the main idea. You joined the demonstration to party and meet cool people, especially girls. I guess nothing has changed. You got a few serious people, and a whole lot of naive, gullible hanger-ons, just there for a good time, just like us in ‘68. Since then we all grew up. Funny…the ones I keep in contact still today, are all conservatives now.
24,
I’m not going to say I never inhaled. I worked full time, went to CC and transfered to four year. Graduated with honors at CC and at four year. But I paid the price up front to have a good time at the four year. So I smoked a little and drank a little more. I had blast and did what I needed to be done. I was always a Reagan conservative.
I think I converted more than my share of libs back in the day. And I’m still working on those fence sitters today.
Ummm…actually, the whole world is watching what few Olympic events that are left, and then will watch either the Closing Ceremonies, or “The Simpsons” re-run tonight at 8. The only ones watching these f-tards are themselves and the cops. But hey…don’t let that affect their egos. After all, they are still screaming about how they refuse to be sent to a war that is purely voluntary to begin with.
I was 9 yrs old living in Chicago during ‘68 convention. It was a theatrical performance of a handful of thugs that turned it into a nightmare for police and conventioners. Of course the police brutality didn’t help much, but honestly the thugs had it coming to them. In the end the protests were meaningless.
Is this what the moonbats want to recreate? A riot where their hate America message won’t even get out?
Latest news:
….
San Fran Nan was at that hotel.
Elk season is coming, these Secret Service people need to get a clue – this isnt Philly, we own and carry rifles here routinely in the west.
Furthermore it was a cased long gun, as per law for transporting a rilfe. So they popped him for a CONCEALED weapon? What’s he suppsoed to do, walk around with it over his shoulder?
It is NOT illegal to carry a cased long gun in public areas in Colorado. As a matter of fact, its common in some areas as people come into Denver hotels from out of town for hunting trips.
They messed up big time trumping up these charges. Illegal concealed carry — of a rifle cased per state law for transport.
Gun organizations are going to have a field day with this one.
Glad I dont live in Denver – they will be paying some serious damages out from such an egregiously wrong arrest.
The the Rocky Mountain News for the article cited above.
Oooohhhhh…so basically, these were and had always been nothing ore than empty threats. It seems to me, that there is a law against making “Terrorist Threats”, and though I am not an attorney, I would imagine that threatening to overtake an occupied building and to do so by force is, in fact, a “Terrorist Threat”.
Why on earth, after this hippie freak decided to go out on a limb and actually admit that what he did was, in fact, to threaten to overtake this building, is the US Department of Justice not taking action against every single one of these “Fail to Recreate 68″ TERRORISTS? I mean, having a protest is one thing, but to actively seek out violence and threaten it on the general populace as well as a specific group should never go unpunished. It is well beyond First Ammendment rights, and one can only imagine how many people not only went ot work today fearing for their lives and property, but how many stayed away as a direct result of their words and deeds.
Again, I beseech you, if you are able, to watch last week’s episode of “Penn and Teller’s Bulls**t” and see just what they are truly like at their “Planning Pot Luck”, and see Penn and Teller’s new wording for A.N.S.W.E.R.
It is just wonderful.
Oh, and after a visit to their brother’s apartment in Santa Cruz yesterday, my two youngest decided last night to creat an “I Hate Hippies” website, devoted to all things anti-hippie. And they are still in elementary school. Ahhh…I am doing something right.
Dont they know it’s ‘ilk’ season?
Mega-Kudos to both Jason and Michelle for their excellent videos!
My husband’s trying his best to remain professional. He told me this afternoon that the idiocy is rampant. People are actually trying to stop and park on the light rail tracks. One individual got busted for attempting to bring gasoline on the train.
Relax, my friend. The convention hasn’t even officially opened yet. Be patient. We have whole week ahead of us!
Michelle’s Favorite Jason line:
“Deadly? How deadly? Like abortion deadly?”
That was very well done, and so was this:
“Did you hear the Christofascist propaganda? ‘What do Osama Bin Laden and Barack Hussein Obama have in common? They both have friends who bombed the Pentagon!’”
While it is funny that the moonbat in the video totally didn’t get it, it’s not funny that it’s true (9/11 hijackers and William Ayers) and that a friend of such terrorists is a Presidential candidate.
Exit question: What are the odds that the super delegates give the nomination to Hillary?
I’m thinking the odds are over 50%.
If Hillary wins the nomination, does she ask Obama to be her VP?
If so, does he accept?
I’m so hoping the guy checking into the Hyatt (excuse me The Grand Hyatt) can produce a receipt showing the gun has been recently worked on – & if he isn’t a known kook of some kind, & hasn’t made any threats – he will own the butts of several Secret Service agents and the city of Denver. What’s the name of that high profile lawyer that wears all the fringed buckskin jackets? Well, I’d be calling him.
Hillary is done, stick a fork in her already.
Opoopy/Bidet is next.
RedPill:
Hillary won’t get the nomination. She’s broke.
It over until
the fat lady singsHillary says it’s over.…should be:
It ain’t over until
the fat lady singsHillary says it’s over.Anarchists bore me….yawnnn
Wake me when they actually have a real protest…
How does one go about qualifying for a concealed carry permit for a rifle?
Me thinks Ms. Hillary is either going to fold her cards and go home or has at least one up her sleave….she hasn’t lost her reputation for getting even last I heard – Baracka better hope he wins – he’ll need Secret Service protection for life.
The only ticket that has a hope of uniting the Democrat[ic Socialist] Party is Clinton/Obama.
As things stand, if they nominate Obama/Biden, then McCain will drift even farther left as he tries to court the Hillary supporters.
If McCain picks anyone other than a consistently strong Pro-life VP, he will be once again giving the finger to conservatives, effectively telling us that we have nowhere else to go.
He’s wrong.
With a fractured Democrat Party, and with McCain doing his best to fracture the Republican Party, the perfect storm is brewing for either McCain to lose the nomination to a real conservative, or for conservatives to revolt and elect a third party candidate.
I refuse to let John McCain throw me under the bus like he did Bill Cunningham. McCain deliberately set him up and then ran him over.
We are being set up by John McCain.
I cannot vote for a McCain/Romney ticket, and it is not because Romney is a Mormon. It is because I cannot vote for a ticket with not one but two candidates who gave conservatives the finger by not showing up to the Values Voter Debate. It is because Romney supported pro-choice when it was politically expedient, and cannot be trusted to be pro-life now.
Romney also provided cover for McCain by dropping out on February 7th so that McCain didn’t have to follow-through with the February 28 CNN debate or the March 3 replacement debate, set up by the Values Voter Coalition.
Romney’s father was part of the “echo” crowd in the early sixties. Romney’s father ran for President in 1968 even though he was not constitutionally eligible (he was born in Mexico).
No Back Room Deals!
We want a choice, not an echo!
That’s irrelevant. If she can win the nomination and has the dirt necessary to sink McCain with a revelation of a scandal (sex or money), then Hillary wins her third term and all of the money she had to spend to get there was worth it. She’d get it all back and more, and start getting her vengence on the people on this list.
Red Pill I appreciate your zeal, but It’s over for Hillary. (thank God)
It’s Obama or McCain, no other person, period. Face the facts.
Thank the early and lame primary system and voters.
Jeeze.
No I didn’t, I just read your post.
I bet they would be pissed if you went after their trust funds.
I wonder how high Recreate ‘68 organizers need to get in order to levitate the Denver Mint? We’ll find out tomorrow, I believe.
So your answer to this is to stay home and let the two Socialists run the country, right, brightboy? Yeah – that’ll show McCain.
When people choose not to believe in truth, they will believe any lie. The only thing these protesters know is what is told to them by MSM, professors, etc. There is no sense of morals with many today.
And as far as Bruce #67 who cannot bring himself to vote McCain (and many like him), stay home in November and let the unhinged left take over everything. We will have only ourselves to blame. Don’t forget that abortion is already legal now, so I don’t know what more damage can be done. It only can be improved on as we move forward. Let’s at least stand so we might fight another day!
Sorry Bruce, it was the quote from Itooktheredpill (also known as Idrankthecoolade) you pinned and not you my friend. Bless you.
Strangely they don’t seem to have a problem with Russia’s invasion of Georgia.I could respect them if they protested war,but they only demonstrate against our wars. Why is that?
They are no better than the creatures who slandered and spat upon veterans of another war as we returned home. A book of the time still applies “None Dare Call it Treason”.
Too funny! Jason Mattera is going to a sane Geraldo Rivera!
Oh….My….GOD!!!! Every time I think that Liberals could not get and stupider, lamer, more ridiculous, I am shown something like this and am left completely shocked and flabbergasted.
What really astounds me is that these idiots ARE ADULTS!!!! I mean, elementary age children…no…kindergarten children are not this stupid. While reading the article linked above, I didn’t know if I should be laughing at the stupidity, or weeping for our country for allowing people like this to graduate out of pre-school.
Here are my favorites:
That’s right…not just lift the entire building, shake it like a piggy bank to get every last dime out. Now, I notice they did not say they would be upturning it so as to properly get the money out…like a piggy bank. I guess they will just have to hope for the best.
So will they be wearing their Gryffindor robes while using all their magic? Are there really that many people that have magic in which to fritter away on building levitation? Will there be construction companies there to study the new way of lifting and moving buildings using dancing and singing rather than cranes, jacks and heavy equipment? And what about this, “everything they have with them” statement? What exactly are these people bringing that could be used to lift a building? Does Patchouli oil really work? I mean, the scent is strong and disgusting, but strong enough to lift AND shake a building?
Did anyone bother to tell these “rocket scientists” that this is the place where money is made…not stored? It is not a bank. Were they to take the money out of the mint, or better yet, make more money simply to pay the “poor”, what they would be doing is the exact OPPOSITE of what they have planned. They would be increasing inflation and making the dollar worthless, increasing the “disparity between rich and poor”. They obviously do not have even the most basic understanding of finances or of economics.
Forget that this was tried with the Pentagon years before and that it failed miserably, they go on to say they are also doing this as a tribute to members of The Chicago Seven. And why?
Are they really that dense? Do they really think that people are not aware of the poor and the poor issue?
I guess since they are incredibly stupid, uninformed and such, they just naturally assume the rest of the world is too.
But seriously, these idiots are acting worse than spoiled pre-schoolers, except that pre-schoolers have an excuse. These guys should all be ashamed of themselves and for the embarrassment they cause their families. thank God my children, much younger than these morons, have a much higher IQ and a better grasp of Common Sense.
Just freaking unbelievable. Just remember, it is the Republicans and Conservatives who have created “Another Vietnam”, right?
And what conservative might be out there on center stage to take the nomination away from McCain at the convention…one that half the nation can instantly agree with and cause an avalanche of support? In a spilt second…Who? Let’s not create our own Perot to our own demise.
This third party idea will take eons if it ever gets to a level to be taken seriously. We conservatives need to take back the party that once held our values, instead of creating a 3rd party that would have ZERO support from either side of the isle. Strength comes in numbers, no one man is an island. Grow your conservatives from the local, county and state levels, then worry about national leaders another day. It ain’t gonna happen until we grow our own.
Nah, that’s the kind of thing capitalists would do. Those socialist idiots (but I repeat myself) would never go for that.
Can I ask how many people poor people employ?
Ah, thought so. But the answer is still take more from those who work for a living. I’m paying 50% now so how much is enough?
Azygos …
I estimate that number to be around 50 … that’s how many government workers it takes at all levels to keep doling out all of the leeches benefits.
Hear, hear. That is our reality. Well said.
Bingo, Atheling
Hmm, I wonder if this is their idea of rational discourse. But then again, in their deluded frame of mind, they probably feel that the Man has beaten them down so far that their only option now is to act as they with the Fox News crew. It’s pretty sad really. I wonder what causes these folks to formulate this sort of world view. Feelings of abandonment, prompting anger towards any authority? Blaming any pain they have on anyone other than themselves? An overactive id? A general lack of hope and purpose, which they try to rectify with this sort of nonsensical “cause?” A malicious desire for power through any means necessary, legitimate and illegitimate?
It’d be cool to interview a former anti-establishment groupie who came to “see the light.”

That belongs to jangar, not me.
David Horowitz is one.
Jesus Christ – do people have reading disabilities around here? What I SAID, jangar,since it needs repeating for you (and PAY ATTENTION this time) was:
And it was not post #67 – it was #70. Exactly the opposite of what you implied I said.
Like I said in #72, I got mixed up with another comment. Please forgive.
Don’t mean to “butt in” here, Bruce, see jangar’s apology to you in
post #72.
And, I totally agree with you, Bruce. Conservatives/Republicans staying home in November is a very bad idea! If for no other reason, we need to cast our Republican votes to keep the SCOTUS from becoming a totally controlled tool of the Marxist/socialist/leftists.
Oops, jangar, you beat me by a minute!
Identifying posts by number is not a real good idea. The number assigned to a particular post is subject to change. I’ve seen some threads where the moderators were deleting a lot of over-the-line posts and the numbers were changing constantly.
Agreed. Good night all.
Side note…what a joy it was to hear each and every one of the Men’s Vollyball Team singing along with the National Anthem at the top of their lungs. First Gold Medal for them in 20 years, and the last one of the Olympics.
Congrats Team USA…you definately made us proud, especially in the face of Communism, Socialism and all that damn cheating done.
The only ones accomplishing anything there, are the pot dealers. A seller’s market.
