I am not sure who the group was. Why are they protesting the DNC? Someone in the posts at the other site mentioned Rush Limbaugh promising to create chaos. This is obviously not planned by the organizers of the convention. I do believe that the Ron Paul supporters are going to organize outside the RNC in St. Paul. I think they will keep it toned down however.

You might want to watch the front end of this from the Fox camera man’s point of view, when the reporter made sure he was the story. You know, where instead of asking to talk to a spokesperson for the group and ask them questions this “reporter” got a few hundred yards infront of the march, did his intro back to the studio, then barreled straight into the mass shoving his microphone into the face of people, and when no one wanted to talk to him started screaming that they must not believe in free speach.
I’m not claiming these people should be held as an example of behavior to be proud of, but this is exactly what the Fox News “reporter” and their camera man wanted. The protestors took the bait, hook line and sinker. Too bad a “news” organization has employees who thinks it is their job to set the hook.

I saw absolutely nothing remotely close to what you described. I saw a group of anarchist thugs repeating profane and obscent chants, showing the class and sophistication that one might expect of these people.
It was an reality a live version of “When Animals Attack.”

They are keeping the protesters 550 yards away from the Pepsi Center in Denver for the convention, but the protesters will get within 84 FEET of the X in St. Paul, maybe closer. A bunch of lawyers are suing for their groups to get closer than 84 feet.

Sorry, to be more clear I should’ve posted the link…

So according to the begining of this he’d already tried to talk to people and was denied comments, and then sets up this. My favorite is when she closes out the segment talking about their concern for his safety and how they’ll get back to him once he can get himself out of the raucus crowd, completely ignoring the confrontational way he put himself into the situtation in the first place.

So, he shouldn’t try to find out why hundreds of people of different groups are marching because he was denied previously by a few?
I suspect it’s not an issue of not wanting to talk to FOX, it’s more an issue of them not having a coherent message that any of them can articulate.

You’re not going to see me defending these yahoos, but this was a case of ridiculous meets ridiculous. If he had tape of an exchange like this based upon the first interaction it might be be different. But he states at the beginning of his remote that he got “roughed up” when he first tried to talk to people. So what does he do? He walks right smack dab in front of where the march is to be sure to cause a scene. He essentially went looking for a fight and got exactly what he wanted, and then tried to exhonerate himself from any blame.

Why do I get the feeling “Fuck CBS” or “Fuck NBC” or “Fuck CNN” wouldn’t be a rally cry we’d ever hear?
I think there is marked disdain for Fox amongst liberals and lefties alike because they have been so use to major news medial being always embracing the liberal point of view, and then along come Fox that doesn’t fall in line with that all the time.
Having said that, I agree with you. The kinds of dumb-asses that protest and march like this are typically VERY uninformed and just lost-souls looking for an outlet for their repressed anger at life. Bandana’s over their faces… We all know the type. Wether its save the whales, save the trees, 9/11 conspiracy theory. There are lots of discontent contrarians out there that just NEED a cause something to be passionate about and pour their emotion into. More than that they need a MOB to feel like a part of.
And like many people on the street, they are woefully uninformed.
Go down to any political rally event/gathering and take 10 people aside and ask them why they support the candidate they do, you’ll find maybe 2 out of the 10 that know something other than the talking points they picked up in television commercials. Of those 2 likely they won’t even know the factual basis of the proposed actions of their candidate and how that will actually work from an economic standpoint.
As an example you’ll hear someone say “I’m voting for Barack because he cares about the middle class” and then if you ask them “how does he care about the middle class” they don’t have an answer.

I love the way the reporter kept trying to say that they were against free speech. They sounded pretty free, too free for my taste, with their speech.
