Live from DNC: It’s Zombietime! (Day 1)
See what the "major" protest for "prisoners' rights" turned into on Monday afternoon. Latest: Prisoners' Rights "Recreate 68" Protest ...
Yes, Virginia, there really are communists in this day and age. And most of them seem to have convened in Denver, as this banner from the “End the Occupations” march attests.
Later in the day, the Reclaim the Streets protest arrived at the state capital, where a series of heated but essentially fruitless confrontations between the protesters and the police ensued.
The police did their best to try and keep a lid on the proceedings.
When they needed to rapidly reposition themselves at the protest, they hopped on these specially modified “troop transport” SUVs.
Wait — is this a protest, or a fashion show?
The communists shown in the earlier picture protested against capitalism as a concept. And here we the see the anarchists doing the same. This is in fact their only point of agreement: otherwise, the communists want to institute total state control of society, whereas as the anarchists want, well, anarchy. But hatred of the United States makes strange bedfellows, and for now the natural enemies — communists and anarchists — seem to have set aside their differences and agreed to bring down capitalism together.
Shades of what is likely to happen throughout the week: counter-protesters showed up to voice their opinions as well.
I just love the sign on the right: “Hey Liberals: Can’t get no satisfaction? Try liberating an entire nation from tyranny.” Ouch — that’s gotta sting.
I must say, the messages put forth at this counter-protest were extremely astute, and highlighted the greatest weaknesses in the left-wing protest philosophy.
That’s it for our first report! Thanks to El Marco for capturing some excellent images while we were still en route to Colorado.
The convention itself kicks off today, and the protests are sure to escalate. Stay tuned!

Do you think the cops and protesters called each other before hand and asked “what are you wearing?”
The black ensembles are obvious, but the blue accessories? The Anarchists go with blue swim goggles while the cops bring matching blue zip ties.
Enchanting.

Aug 25, 2008 - 8:39 am 15. vashnugel:Looking at the banners/placard from the fools and the placards put up by the counter-protesters, really shows the difference in philosophy. The counter-protesters assume you can read and comprehend, the fools assume your are a idiot by keeping it simple. Or are the fools only showing just how little of a real education they are receiving? Interesting.
A bunch of those kids are probably wearing the bandanas over their faces so their mommies and daddies won’t recognize them if they happen to see any pictures of these clowns.
If mommy and daddy do recognize them, they might cut the kids off from their allowance.

I’m seein’ a lot of garb on these idiots that costs money to buy and feeds the capitalist machine. Look in the mirror, moonbats. The enemy you see in capitalism is YOU.
Let’s make them be consistent – $$$ is bad, you say? Let’s see you live the “revolutionary” life without it. No clothes, food, tickets, protest signs, etc. Go live in the wild and off the land. Follow your ideals. We dare you.

“Thank God, however, that America allows this dissent without removing the dissenters permanently and without trace.”
Precisely what puts the lie to the so-called “anarchists”. If things really were as bad as they claim, they’d be the first ones silenced.
Aug 25, 2008 - 9:43 am 35. Scrit:So I’ve been watching these protests for the last five years or so, and I can see that the demonstrators have managed to come around to the conservative viewpoint.
That is, back when all this started, it was make peace, not war. Today, it’s make war (on the US) for peace.
That deserves at least a ‘heh’.

RE: ‘Critical Reasoning Facilities’?
Actually, judging by the age on these wannabe rioters, I’d say they were never taught any such think. It’s the way the Dimocrats like their people, uneducated.
Looks like a possible case of ‘unintended consequences’ to me.

I’d also bet that the reason a lot of thoses masks are on is because if someone recognized them on TV they might get their allowance cut in half.

Shame.
Aug 25, 2008 - 11:01 am 42. Kevin:Recreate 68? Boy, talk about weeping for the future. Has anyone bothered cluing in these automatons that the Dems lost, and lost big in ‘68? To Nixon of all people. Yeah, go ahead, recreate ‘68. But don’t be surprised if those who actually operated in ‘68, and now firmly control the democrat party, prevent the foolishness going on in the streets. It was foolish/stupid back in ‘68, it’s stupid/foolish now. Wake up. What we are seeing here is a continuation of the juvenile thought process of the protesters from the 60’s. See as children we are taught ideas in very simplistic terms. As only a child can understand. Black/white, good/evil. Simple. Then as we grow we are eventually taught that things are always so pronounced. That there is a little bit of gray in the world. Once we reach adulthood, it is assumed that we are able to realize just how much more gray the world is, but that there is such a thing as good/evil, black/white, etc. That our actions must marry our words. These protesters only show they have missed out on several key issues. One is that words and actions must go hand in hand. That one at times must make choices that are unsavory, that doing nothing can be far worse than doing something, and vice versa, and only experience can help determine the difference. Right now they only espouse regurgitated slogans. Not once have they considered what would happen to them in a nation that truly practices what they preach. Here endeth their lesson.

Aug 25, 2008 - 11:34 am 45. Daniel in Brookline:Thanks, Zombie! (And thanks to you too, El Marco.)
In a just world, repeated photo-essays like this — which the mainstream media refuses to publish — would be worthy of a Pulitzer nomination, at least. Failing that, please accept our gratitude for going where the moonbats are and showing us what they do.
Thanks also for showing the counter-demonstrators! (Don’t they just LOOK as though they smell better? And don’t you love the fact that they provide CITATIONS for their quotes & photos?)
I have become more and more convinced, over the years, that adult demonstrators are the ones who make their points quietly, eloquently, and with dignity. The ones screaming slogans in the middle of the street, daring police to touch them, are on the same moral level as the five-year-old in the supermarket, threatening a tantrum if he doesn’t get a candy bar. They are children… and they have no cause for complaint if they are treated as such.
In re bandannas etc. — perhaps these people don’t want to be recognized, although I think that’s unlikely. (Would you recognize your child, even with a bandanna? I’m sure you would.) Another theory is that they’re simply protecting themselves from the smell.
But my pragmatic side says: if you make it impossible for police to subdue you with tear gas, people, then you make it necessary for them to use billy clubs and rubber bullets. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
respectfully,

As a certified old guy I can state categorically that these children are pikers compared to the 60’s radicals. Ayers spawn is pretty limp.

That being said, I wish a group of these filthy scum America haters had decided to parade down “Speed Street” there. Tar and feathers would have been the least of their problems.
Thanks for the photos.
Aug 25, 2008 - 12:21 pm 48. Kevin:One commenter opined that they were wearing the masks as a possible counter to tear gas. Now I don’t know if this method is as effective with tear gas as with mustard gas, but they would need to urinate on the bandanna’s to counter the gas. You would also need a better seal around your mouth and nose than a “bandito” look. Should have stayed awake in history class. Might have actually learned something.

About the counter-protestors, really, why bother? Those self-important buffoons are only impressing each other, and trying to make a logical point to children who claim to be “kinda against, like, property rights totally, dude” is like trying to teach quantum mecahnics to a dog.

Aug 25, 2008 - 12:59 pm 59. Tom W:Obviously the protesters haven’t had a good dose of tear gas yet, or they’d know the bandanna is worthless for what they’re trying to do. Tear gas attacks all the mucous membranes… so lots of places will start to tingle, right through the clothing, even some “private” places. And if they get a really good dose of it, even the bare skin will react.

Aug 25, 2008 - 2:07 pm 71. Bill Clinton:Communists, socialists, anarchists, flea-infested losers and social outcasts are typical members of the liberal “base” of support. Throw in Hollywood celebutards, brain-dead congressional types (Waters/Durbin/Pelosi/Shumer/Reid, et.al.) and you’ve got the Democrat party in 2008. Congratulations! The only thing missing is the prototypical gay/lesbian/trangender protester-in-drag with full-display sex organ regalia and catholic priest/nun costume from Pelosi’s home district to round out the Democrat convention.
However, I think the counter-protesters who carry “love America” posters and such will be portrayed as the deviants by the likes of Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann of the ObamaNetwork. They will celebrate the Democrat base’s “diversity” on one hand, and decry the religious and gun-loving “clingers” as rubes and hicks who support Bush and McCain in their small-mindedness. How sweet.
One just needs to look at the photos in this story to see the Democrat base in all its perverted glory. No need to comment. Just look. These guys will be running the country if THE ONE get elected. This is who THE ONE will be reporting to. No joke.

Hey, have you seen the “American Prayer” on YouTube? Man, that makes my leg shiver and wiggle. Even George Costanza prays to Sen. Obama and we all love George. I also believe Sen. Obama will receive the all-important John Edwards endorsement soon, as I believe we have reporters scouring the hills in North carolina looking for Sen. Edwards right now.

We are overstocked with “Che” T-shirts and need to blow them out at discount prices. Same with “Down With Capitalism” and “Down with Freedom” banners. All proceeds will benefit our Brother’s “Struggle Against The Man.” “Peace Through Grovelling To The U.N. for Every Problem” will be the new slogan of our government. Also, since Jimmy Carter is the role-model of our cause, we have a special on the book “How To Raise Peanuts and Save The Planet” on sale at the DNC convention this week.

I definitely want to be “Minister of Gun Confiscation.” I want to go to Tom Selleck’s house and take away his guns, because we all know that guns kill people. Maybe there will be fewer drive-by shootings if we take Tom’s 1863 Navy revolver and his black-powder rifle given to him by his grandpa, Daniel Boone Selleck. Seriously, if Leo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck support Sen Obama, you should also. They are so smart. Even though they don’t carry “Mao” purses, like Caneron Diaz does, they still wear “Che” t-shirts when they party at “Boulevard” in NYC. Madonna for “Minister of Culture.” WHOO HOO!! You go Material Girl. Get down with the struggle and eject the malignant Bush/Cheney death squad culture of death and mispronunciation of words such as “nucular.” The prople who like Bush and Cheney are stupid andcling to guns, like Tom Selleck.

Lemire:George Will recently wrote something that may not be entirely true, but presently appears at least 98% true: “For conservatives, seeing is believing; for liberals, believing is seeing.” People on the left, whether liberal or pure leftist, ought to test their beliefs and claims against reality. That likely won’t change their minds, but perhaps a few will realize just how foolish rants against someone like Karl Rove make the lefties appear.

Exactly how I see those stupid, indoctrinated (NOT educated) kids with too much money and too much time on their hands.
I guess wanting to re-create Chicago ‘68 is the peak of their ambitions. Good thing they are covering their faces. No one would want to hire them for jobs, except the NEA and other Leftist unions.
Aug 25, 2008 - 3:41 pm 90. fred:I’m very proud of the counter protesters. There is hope for the country, when almost every protest organized by the Communists, their useful idiots, and the anarchists are matched by veterans groups and patriotic Americans. Thirty years ago when I was a young Leftist college student, when we were protesting the U.S. involvement in Central America there were no counter protesters reminding everyone that the Soviets were pulling the strings down there.
Even when I was a revisionist Marxist I would never be caught carrying any of those idiotic signs and posters. Anyway, I actually studied Marxism and read the works of the theoreticians. And I listened to the critiques of socialism written or voiced by people like Michael Novak and Willian Buckley, Jr.
Aug 25, 2008 - 3:51 pm 91. 49erDweet:These pix bring two thoughts to mind: One, most parents of the “protesters” are probably NOT capitalists in the true meaning of the term. I think “academics” might come closer to the point. And two, their “withered” minds and lack of critical thinking skilss are more likely due to over-exposure to too much cannabis during adolescence, rather than educational slippage, if the truth could be known.

Aug 25, 2008 - 5:36 pm 100. Donna:20 years ago, P.J. O’Rourke jeered at wannabe ’60’s leftists by noting what his college friends (the original ’60’s leftists) would have thought if someone had turned up at their rallies dressed in a zoot suit and a fedora.
Well, now that 1968 is 40 years in the past, it’s even more bizarre, isn’t it? It’s like someone showing up at the ‘68 Dem Convention dressed like a flapper or Rudy Valentino.
And picture someone walking around in 1928 wearing the Victorian fashions of 1888. The flappers and slick-haired Rudy Valentino types would have considered them insane.
But in 2008, leftists wear tie-dyed T-shirts and hippie get-ups popular when I was a tot and consider that “progessive.”
Well, their dress is about as progressive as their ideology, I guess.

The question on my mind is will the city of Minneapolis be locking them a mile away from the convention, like the city of Denver is attempting to do for the DNC.

Coach Barstuck: I hooted with approval when I read “these punks need to run laps until they puke twice.” It reminded me of my own experiences–during SOCCER practice! Actually, it was the repeated 100yd sprints that would do me in. Definitely a character builder.
Baseball is a great game, but baseball players are going to puke from running a lot sooner than soccer players are.
The important thing is that these pathetic protesters by no means represent the wide swath of American youth.

There really wasn’t a whole lot to protest at the DNC convention since Republicans have been the real bad guys for the past several years, although Pelosi and her crew are likely to very much regret taking Bush’s impeachment off the table.

my thought, too. so far has slipped under the radar if there are similarly gracious accommodations awaiting minneapolis protesters.

If the apparent low quality of protesters continues there is a fine cadre of ‘leaders’ to call on, from all over the world. The riots will begin shortly and they will be successful. Failure is not an option we entertain.

Protesting at the GOP convention wouldn’t quite recreate 68′. The protestors want to influence the Dems with whom they feel kinship of spirit. They’re not going to influence any Reps. I don’t expect any greater number of protesters at the GOP convention.
