It spread to other cities, and I believe there was only one that somewhat dealt with it the way it should be.

Now, we have Cub Scouts, and as I read today, an 83 year old man and others sprayed with bleach.

Those actions have nothing whatsoever to do with free speech, and everything to do with aggravated assault.

There seems to be little in the press about anyone being arrested. Is this to support a meme that the RNC cannot control their own convention?

Any blogger reporting on those arrested?

How are these morons breaching security?

I don’t understand how so many in the Conservative movement have come to accept the enemy’s characterization of us: well-mannered polite doormats.

If this Country is worth anything, (I say this as someone who knows it is worth everything), then it is worth our tenaciously fighting these boobs for the enforcement of our laws and to protect these little ones.

No more. Not. One. More. Step.

If someone dies from these lefty’s actions, will the same nothing happen this time as happened in Seattle?

I see where some Alaska Libtards have published Palin’s SocSec Info.

At the root, we are to blame. GWB’s Justice dept slapped smucky shroomer on the wrist when Mike Steele’s SS# was misused. If you scoff laws, you get more contempt for laws, and more scoff laws in return… a cylce that shakes itself apart.

We (as a society) allowed the mayor & police to look the other way when the Leftos rioted in Seattle, is it any surprise its worse here & now — w/so much at stake?

I’ll make it easier … interfere with an officer making a legal arrest and you get knocked on your ass. Clear?

So Omu – please educate me on how exactly they do “dispose” of the aborted human being.

Linen closets. At least in Illinois, and Obama was ok with that.

Trying to avoid a suit for libel, more than likely.

To late… they’ve been fully documented, and by people who know what to do with it.

I see them at all of the big “gaterings” the old hippies and the new “Anarchists”
nothing new under the Sun.

The one thing they don’t seem to understand is that Woodstock was a mess; all they got was stoned, laid, wet and hungry. Nothing was accomplished just complaints and chants.

Hmm…sounds like what will happen with an Obama presidency.

Sarah Palin Will Shine at Republican Convention.

The fact that they would use such potentially deadly tactics as dropping sand bags on buses and other occupied vehicles indicates what little regard they have for the lives of people they do not even know let alone may or may not hold different points of view.

Exit question: Will the MSM responsibly report these thugs violent actions and, if so, how?

I agree. But, you have to be really, really careful about how you define “textual and verbal violence”.

I suppose I could have phrased this differently. Let me see if I can clarify.

I’m not referrring to the occasional, casual idiotic comment here and there. We all see random comments that are somewhat violent in nature from time to time… pretty common on websites and blogs that have a lot of traffic.

What I’m referring to here is,

A. websites that demonstrate a pattern of allowing diaries, blog entries, and comments that directly advocate acts of violence and intimidation against others, or

B. websites that attempt to organize and mobilize groups of people into inciting or committing acts of violence and intimidation against others.

Look, I know all about section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. I know full well what the responsibilities of site ownership are because I am one… and in my opinion, this is a law that should be challenged and redefined.

It should be the responsiblity of every single blog or site owner to run their sites in a responsible manner, by providing their registrants with an effective reporting system and some type of moderation, in the form of either paid moderation or voluntary moderation.

I have very little tolerance for lazy, cowardly blog and site owners who hide behind this law and allow their websites and blogs to be used for these purposes – and post a disclaimer to avoid being held directly responsible for the violence and intimidation that is inflicted upon others by their registrants – when they are fully capable of discouraging and disrupting this type of activity.

I’m sure there are some here who will disagree with me on this, quite possibly even our hostess.

But it’s my two cents, for what its’ worth.

Amy Goodman Manhandled, Arrested for Protesting Arrest of News Staff

From the video you attached, Goodman’s arrest looked quite civil to me. Is there any credible evidence to her claim?

If you want to see real brutality, find the 2004 video of Amy Goodman’s comrades dragging a NYC cop off of his scooter and stomping him into a coma outside the RNC at Madison Square Garden, if you want to talk about “manhandling.”

BTW, when did liberal street activists become such drama queens? Makes them look like they are using al Qaeda’s playbook.
