Mob scene at the Mint; Update: The trouble begins; riot at Denver City Center, pepper spray comes out
Denver - Well, I’m happy to report that the anti-capitalists failed in their effort to defy gravity and levitate the U.S. Mint. The wizard hat and magic wands weren’t working.
The protest was an abysmal failure — with a crowd of about 20 profit-bashing protesters far out-numbered by press, bloggers, police, horses, and looky-loos. I was able to work unimpeded covering the pathetic showing…until the Truthers showed up for their YouTube moment.
Desperate to salvage the fizzled demonstration, 9/11 nutball Alex Jones started barking at me and attempting to make a scene and incite a riot. I should have brought my spit shield. Ick. Jim Hoft was there, along with my friends from Pajamas Media, and provided volunteer bodyguard services (thanks, guys).
Video of that coming for your viewing pleasure. Stay tuned.
I need a shower.

Update: Riot reported at the Denver City Center…Denver Post’s livecam has the scene.
Outside the Denver City Center…10:06pm Eastern/8:06pm Mountain…Founding Bloggers is on the scene. Blogger Charlie Martin is also there and reports that press and police again far outnumber protesters. Quote: “It’s the world’s most boring riot.” More from The Other McCain, who reports that a bystander told him 30 were arrested and the Sheraton Hotel is in lockdown…MSM coverage here…

I know how you feel. If I have to hear another idiot like Jerome Corsi telling me that jet fuel can’t melt steel and talking about “spheres”, I may just scream.
Holy crap, somebody’s off his meds.
I’m sorry but after watching the video of Jones in action that’s only civil thing I can think to say.
Jones is a world class Alpha Hotel and Whiskey Delta.
I just watched the video, Michelle. It infuriated the heck out of me. Maybe in the future, you could have some “big” escorts with you, and in their possession a couple of hand-held tasers, and one of those bullhorns with the LOUD sirens (to blare back at the nuts who can’t seem to shut their holes!)
I don’t know Colorado law, but here in California, that clown Jones would have been arrested for assault. He is what we used to refer to as a “scumbag maggot!” What a waste of space…
You are one brave patriot! Be safe.
Heard at the City Center post pepper spray via webfeed:
“WHERE’S OBAMA NOW?”
The natives are restless, and the party’s just begun….
Looks like the police are preparing the crap cannon.
Bill Ayers is sitting at home, getting high, and laughing his buttocks off….
Of course the guy had to have a wizard hat on..
how else would people know he was a wizard?
(file that under, ‘Fail’)
I talked to a Denver cop a couple of days before the DNC. He said they had found a trailer with tennis balls that had been sliced open and filled with poop. They also found urine water balloons.
What has amazed me is this though that the conservatives are just going to roll over and let Barry do what ever he wants if he gets elected.
/popcorn
Here’s hoping the Denver police get a little fun breaking some moonbat pride and throwing their sorry behinds in jail to sleep it off.
Hey! Hey ! Ho Ho!
Where the hell did everyone go!
Hey! Hey ! Ho Ho!
Where the hell did everyone go!
Hey, Michelle… that Alex Jones douche has a video up of him assaulting you.
http://www.infowars.com/?p=4156
Ms.U
Michelle, I watched the Alex Jones video. I’m far from a religious person, but if I were you I’d feel nothing but sympathy and compassion for the guy. He’s quite sick. His demeanor was not “airplane-worthy”. That is, if he acted that way in an airport, no way would they let him board. His demeanor was such it would engender a “fight or flight” response in most people, which means if you were a guy, there’s a good chance you woulda started beating on him, with some justification. Instead you held up your arm halfways to block out the noise and halfways to defend yourself from attack which to any rational person would seem to be imminent. He seemed to personify everything he hated. Nazi guard plus slavemaster plus communist reeducation camp instructor (maybe he identifies with that last one?!) all rolled into one. Demeaned you, dehumanized you, directed pure hate towards you, doing all those things he’s supposedly against. “She wants to throw people in jail! She should be thrown in jail!”. Narcissistic projection, typical of the extreme left. Again, I can’t help but feel sorry for him. Of course I wasn’t there so didn’t have to withstand his violent, offensive, continuous, loud screaming and stalking. But after awhile you might find it in your heart to see how sick the poor guy really is.
So THAT is Alex Jones? I googled him, he’s only in his early-to-mid 30s? Wow. Dude looks AWFUL.
Now I see why everyone says Alex is a total flake.
Looks like The Truthers ended up doing what Jerry Rivers wanted to. Sorry you had to be drenched in such foulness. But hey, at least it disproved the “So filled with bile that he spits acid” theory I had. thank God for that.
I guess they just didn’t bring enough magic with them. or maybe they didn’t sing loud enough, dance hard enough, or just plain want it bad enough.
But Michelle, i gotta know; were any of them actually visibly disappointed that it did not work? I mean, were any of these bozos (My apologies to the real Bozo and his memory), actually convinced that they were going to levitate this building to the point that they demonstrated real disappointment or depression that it failed?
Were they not claiming that there were going to be THOUSANDS that were to be there for this feat of magic? What happened? did they get lost? Did they get splinched while diapperating to the scene? Maybe Snape kept them after potions class and they just plain missed it, or they did not want to upset the Ministry of Magic by performing feats of such large magic in front of so many Muggles.
One more question: What in the heck were the Truthers doing showing up for the levitation event? Were they there to actually try to participate? Or did they think that it was their best chance at grabbing some camera time?
I, personally, feel they were probably going to join in, since their theories on 9-11 are just as sound, reasonable and believable as the theory that if you get enough people spread out around The Denver mint or The Pentagon, sing loud enough, dance hard enough and believe strong enough, you can raise it up, shake all the money out and solve the poverty problem in the U.S. all in one fell swoop.
Yup…he and they are definately doing wonders for their cause. God help anyone who believes in that filth should they ever cross paths with me.
OMG!!!! I just saw the video of Alex Jones screaming and yelling at Michelle, chasing her down, threatening her, and basically just losing all semblance of sanity. Also, he had no problem plugging his own site. The look in his eyes and on his face I have only seen on patients who had based to much and had completely lost their sanity. He was so filled with hatred, I wanted to leap through my screen and just beat the crap out of him.
My open statement to Alex Jones:
Does it make you feel like a big man to be yelling and screaming at a woman? Do YOU support violence against women? For one screaming about what you were screaming about, you sure seem to have no issues what-so-ever in supporting and condoning violence, especially against a woman who is not much taller than half of you.
You Liberals are nothing more than thugs. You are hypocrite, liars, biggots and thugs. This a**hole is a prime example of every damn last one of you. Yeah, it is a broad brush, but I have yet to have a single, solitary Liberal disprove that statement. You are vile and loathesome, and I wouldn’t hit a dog in the a** with any of you.
Until you start practicing what you preach, this statement will stand.
Michelle, I am so very sorry you have to put up with insane creeps like this on a constant basis. You are truly a strong woman and should be proud of all you do and say. I only wish I had been there with you today.
Yeah, Liberals and Democrats…they sure are a strong voice for women, blacks and other minorities, aren’t they? Only people like this could support something like abortion, the release of rapists, child molesters and murderers from prison, cop killers, and so many other loathesome and villainous acts. Truly hateful people, every last one of them.
From infowars.com:
Chased by the truth? WHAT truth? She left the scene of a raving lunatic, screaming in her face and ears, carrying on in such a way that would have the bravest man fearing that this person would snap and perform some sort of violent act.
The comments over there while they carry on with the back slapping on how this thug shouted down a woman half his size is amazing, and of course violent and more than racist and anti-Semitic.
For them to say that this guy is a true Conservative…OMG…this is why I stay away from these sites. I am too young to have my blood pressure soar that high, or to have that much adrenaline flow through my system without release.
Michelle, you are a far better person than I am, I can honestly tell you that.
Very appropriate.
Michelle, you are amazing! Thank you for being the brave, cool-headed, professional journalist that others would be wise to emulate.
Alex Jones is a crude, loud-mouthed, misogynistic bully. He stalked you, menaced you, and verbally assaulted you. What adds insult to injury is the manner in which the MSM reported the incident. It reminds me of that scene from “Beverly Hills Cop” where Axel Foley gets thrown out of a window by a group of thugs. As the cops are arresting him for disturbing the peace, Axel cries out, “Disturbing the peace? I got thrown out of a window! What’s the f—in’ charge for getting pushed out of a moving car, huh? Jaywalking?” Apparently, Michelle, at least according to the MSM, you were jaywalking.
Just checked out the video, Michelle I don’t know how you do it. That Alex Jones is a piece of trash. Stay strong Michelle, your work is very much appreciated.
I see that whatever lessons of chivalry given to Alex Jones by his mother didn’t take. Along those lines, I suppose that the lessons of logic and reasoning in Jones’ philosophy 101 class, specifically the lesson on how fallacies of relevance, or any fallacy for that matter, detract from one’s argument vice enhancing it, didn’t take either.
The guys did the right thing by standing between Jones and Mrs. Malkin. The folks with the cameras were just itching for someone to start a physical fight. I’m impressed with how Mrs. Malkin and her friends stayed calm during this. Offering him a Tic-Tac or mint would have been good.
Glad some fellow sane bloggers were there to offer their protection, Michelle. While I enjoy reading your in-depth coverage, I do worry for your safety around these nutcases. You’re a brave, determined woman…hats off to you!
Michelle - I am a retired officer and would love to be your bodyguard around people like this nutjob.
I just watched the video.
Michelle, you are one of my heroes to be able to work and deal with this kind of crap. You are surly in a war zone.
I only have one question. Why in hell didn’t anyone punch that guy’s lights out? I assure you if I were there he would have hit the pavement and needed teeth the next day. Then again, I am from the south and we do not let women get attacked without laying down the law.
Alex jones is just trying to advertise his wacked out conspriacy theories. He is an asshole of the first order. How brave of him to attack a woman half his body mass. How amazing that he can out scream everyone else, that of course to him makes him feel like he won something besides asshole of the day award, but the rest of us know what he is. He is the type that probably beats his kids.
No giant puppets
I believe the jet fuel acted as an accelerant to create the fire, naturally. However I have spoken personally with the forensic engineer at ground zero; he was responsible for designating go, no-go areas. I perused the the truss work in question (in the guy’s compendium) that caused that collapse and significant increase in steel temp in conjunction with loadings created a plastic moment, then buckling, then collapse.
I know 2 air force officers who saw the plane before it hit the pentagon. In other words, the truthers are full of crap.
What you are not seeing is that Alex is actually just part the THE CONSPIRACY itself! He is being sent out there to distract us from the real truth!
The more we focus on him, the more the real conspiracy continues to work behind the scenes!
Just watched the video. MM, please be careful. That man’s consumed by an evil that I once heard described as “moral insanity”. Don’t remember where I heard or read that term but it sure seems to fit here.
From one of alexs less rational supporters.
I see!!! The puppets dance!!! Dance little puppet dance!!!!
Well said, Soap. I am usually slow to anger and there are very few things that can quickly make me mad enough to punch somebody out; but what I saw in that video is one of them.
I went to a lot of the “peace and love” protests during the 60s. The candlelight march on DC, the 4th of July rally at the Washington Monument, and many others. The only thing I never saw was peace or love. Hasn’t changed at all. I fear for Michelle and pray she stays well. After my observations from the 60s, I’ve never trusted those unhinged moonbats.
Indeed. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. I just finished scrolling down through the comments at Alex Jones website. I am speechless. Stark, raving mad only BEGINS to describe these people.
After viewing the videos at Gateway Pundit and at Alex Jone’s site, my blood pressure was running 196/124 and pulse rate was about 120 bpm. Definitely “flight or fight” response - and I wasn’t anywhere NEAR Denver.
Jones needs to be HEAVILY sedated, put in a straight-jacket, and placed under 24 hour watch. That’s the kindest thing that I can say about him.
As for the rest of us, we ALL need to make certain that we are heavily armed. The semi-automatic shotgun that someone suggested yesterday (as a home defense weapon) would seem to “fit the bill.” Thanks for the link.
As for going on the offense, I suggest that we start by getting on our knees and praying that God will protect Michelle, her camera crew, and the other conservative bloggers from these loons.
My collie says:
My 9mm says you betchya.
Doing some trolling on the infowars site while waiting for updates here. Apparantly I am now a nwo agent sent by the illuminate neocon zionist conspriacy. Or some such thing. These people are WWAAAAYYYY out there.
That’s the Yippie Pieman. His name is Aron Kay. Evidently he threw a couple of pies at people decades ago and has made a lifelong career out of it.
He sure does get around. Is he independently wealthy? Judging by his website, he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who’s capable of working for a living but who knows.
Was there a general betting pool for or against? I would have paid good money to see that happen! Michelle, you need a raise to deal with these baffoons.
It’s nice to see the freaks pour out of the woodwork at the Dem convention. Doesn’t it make you feel all warm and tingly inside? All that collective peace chanting and karma vibes flowing in one huge kumbaya sigh? /sarc
You think this is bad, try living in one of these peaceful, liberal, college bergs because it’s an experience that stays with you. My folks live in Ithaca, NY and I worry about them with moonbats like this running around. Fortunately, my father’s a bitter, clinging gun owner and will defend his home and family.
I didn’t wait up all night - did it levitate yet? No? But the guy in the Fantasia hat looks so sincere, I was almost a Democrat by bedtime.
Neocon527, is this that Grey Poupon crowd that you are so proud of? A little pepper spray on your arugula, sir?
So I visited that pie jerk’s website, and I gotta tell you, I can’t help but feel lke I need a shower now.
If anyone has seen the episode of “The Simpsons” when Homer first discovers the Internet and designs his own website, you will get the gist of what a waste of time my last 30 minutes of perusing his was.
The whole thing was a hypocritic excercise in Liberal ridiculousness. In one sentace, he laments…if that is the word that can be used…the violence of the Bush Administration and calls other throwbacks to the failed Socialist Liberal Hippie experiment to join together to overthrow said government and to kill Bush and Guilliani and various other “fascists”. There are pictures of injuring and killing cops, various other things,a nd some of the most anti-American propaganda I have seen in quite some time.
Yet they keep saying how they are NOT anti-American.
I wouldn’t advise anyone else going there. Apparently he thinks that just by visiting there, you are suporting him and these Socialist, anti-American, seditious, traitors.
And just so you know, aaprently all that is needed for global unity and peace is not freer trade, industry and commerce. Nope, it is violent acts, destruction of personal property, music of the 60’s and smoking a hell of a lot of dope.
Silly us.
jesus, you can’t make this stuff up! keep putting out these moonbats in their own words with their own actions, and sooner or later sane democrats will see they are being lumped in with lunatic asylum escapees.
Their magic users musta kept rolling ones.
