So far they've been fairly enteresting to watch. I've been watching/listening to them on CSpan for about an hour and a half or so. I've heard lots of boos and shouts when the pro/anti bush groups clash. And so far I saw only 1 thing get set on fire. So that's not too bad I guess.

Still, it's fun to watch. A bunch of people just walked by shouting "FOX NEWS SUCKS!" Another group had one person with a megaphone or something shouting "FOX NEWS." and the group of people around him would yell back "BULLSHIT!" I just thought it was funny.

Those wackos prefer to get their news from Granma or Indymedia. LOL!

nudity is a viable option

only on C-span

Yup, check out C-Span. It's good for a laugh. I love it when they start dancing around in circles and play catchy tunes on their little drum thingies.

I love how they claim "this is what democracy looks like". Somehow I don't think a bunch of wackos in a leftist circle-jerk exchanging conspiracy theories and blocking city streets represents democracy. Maybe in France.

Yay, yet another neo-con who bashes France because his boss in the gov't told him to, and has never even been there. You're boring.

LOL. My boss in the government? What?

Unfortunately, I have been to France. They really hate Asians there. And how.

suburbia was invented to pacify the masses

so what? the french hate EVERYONE

I love watching protests. It doesn't matter what kind. But usually the peace ones are the best.

There's NOTHING like listening to people say "make love, not war", and then set cars on fire! Or throwing rocks at the police because they're violent pigs!

Love it!

What? I'm not even American. I've never been to Nebraska.

then why are you defending the evil that is Bush?

then why are you defending the evil that is Bush?

Because I generally agree with his policies. Far more than Kerry's proposals.

then why are you defending the evil that is Bush?

Oh my god, here we go again . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I'm just waiting for someone to scream "Bush ate my baby!"

A large number of folks from the Free Land of Chickenring took part in todays protests, and I was able to be on the Great Lawn of Central Park while thousands upon thousands of men and women (from the ages of toddler all the way up to old fogey) relaxed and generally stayed together after their hugely successful and peaceful march.

I'm sick of anyone who uses France as a talking point in order to dish out their deliriously stupid viewpoints on world politics. I should also add that there were a number of proud Republicans demonstrating on the streets of New York. If anyone is interested, I have a photograph of a woman wearing a t-shirt that says "Intolerance is a Beautiful Thing" and holding a large sign saying "ISLAM SUPPORTS KERRY"... no joke.

...Now THAT is something to ridicule.

Bush ate my baby!!!

I saw some of the aerial shots and was so quelled with pride that we can flood streets like that in America!

Yeah, many of them have a lot of free time. They're unemployed and useless.

Ouch, that was cold. Prepare to be flamed.

why do you want the last soldier to die for a war based on a lie?

there was also another small band of republican protesters calling themselves "communists for kerry" --talk about being trapped in a cold war timewarp

A bunch of people just walked by shouting "FOX NEWS SUCKS!"

Hey!! That may have been me!

When I walked by the Fox News van, some guy was standing there shouting "Sean Hannity is inside! Sean Hannity is inside!" and everyone was chanting "FOX NEWS SUCKS!" I was with them for a good three minutes.

Considering how Kerry himself seems to be stuck in a timewarp, I'm sure those protestors were just poking fun at his obsession with Vietnam.

first of all its the weekend when most people dont work (also it can be said that theyre job is working to free america from Bushs evil agenda) --also if theyre unemployed then its a direct result of Bushs class warfare policies--even more reason for them to protest

LOL! Last I checked the GOP wasn't the party that loved class warfare.

By the way, I don't think the protests will stop tomorrow because all those hippies need to go to work.

Saving Americas life is their work and its time for our Govt to start giving antiwar activists peace medals for working overtime to end the madness of more Veitnams

Vietnam? My whole family would be dead if the US didn't go into Vietnam. Fuck the anti-war idiots.

Let me explain something here.

BUSH IS NOT THE ANTICHRIST, HE IS JUST AN IDIOT!

Thank you :)

I'm sure they either don't work, or are college students

Worse yet, Columbia students. Must be an Ivy League rivalry thing.

Bush is a perfect match to the FBIs own psychological profile of a sociopath

an idiot with his finger on the button and an idiot who is a toolbag for the antichrist

Then start saying "The evil that is Cheney/GOP"

Seriously, no need to dehumanize an idiot :P

My dad is working hard at the convention this week doing security work for the nypd.He is dreading it. No policemen likes arresting protestors. It is terrible. These poor cops want to go home to their families and do their job protecting the public and for it they get harrassed, limbs broken, spit on, have buckets of piss thrown at them, get punched, and generaly treated poorly. what ever happened to peaceful protest? also, the worst thing: naked hippies. thats got to be the worst.......

cops are the violent ones and in the very rare cases when protesters are its 9 times outta 10 in response to provocations by the police--if you want peace then control your own goon squads first

Right out of the horse's mouth. There you have it people.

Maybe his dad is that special one :rolleyes:

I know these guys well and that bussiness about it being the cops fault is bull. these arent the "fascist pigs" represented by the people here. these are guys just doing their job and hoping for the best. they dont want to have to arrest anyone. hurt anyone. stop anyone. But if action is needed they do it. Please stop blaming the police. you have a grossly wrong view of their attitudes and motives as I know them first hand every day.

maybe but cops usually practice a mob mentality in those situations. Also when they put on star war military gear it tends to make them psychologically altared to be more excessive in their responces as well

Did you get a speeding ticket one day and decide you hate cops from that, or is it just jumping on the bandwagon of thinking that it's cool to call them pigs?

all it takes is for that one hothead cop to change alla that and I seen firsthand from protests that I went to how they act on the street at these things--theyre especially brutal at anti-globalisation protests--and lets not forget how they acted in Miami. Most may be ok but youve never been to a protest in your life if you dont see the things cops do that promote needless tensions and violence (for example at that bike demo at MSG cops were violently yanking people off their bikes) - so if their job is tough they must share some of the blame for that themselves-also alot of these cops oppose the things the protesters stand for so that adds to their hostility

He's probably 14. At most.

I seen firsthand how they act at protests myself plus im a news junkie and read all the millions of storys about how they generally act at all protests-people prone to become cops in the first place are control freaks who overreacte to any thing that think looks like "disorder"

I'd ask you to provide credible sources for your claims, but I doubt you have any.

anti-globalization protests. and I thought I wasted my time....
