As you wish....

Everything that I have heard leads me to believe that this is nothing more than a sham.

Her speech seemed forced to me. Almost as if the party had told her, 'work for party unity' or your finished.

Is this where we discuss the arrested ABC reporter for the press crime.

Of course that is what the party told her. Did you really think otherwise?

The hardcore Hill holdouts will not be swayed to obama's side.

You go, girls!

Excuse me, but I'm confused. Hot Air has a story about the roll call actually taking place at the hotels. All they would be doing, then, is to read off the votes. Are they actually going to read them off a sheet, state by state? Or are they going to read just a summary?

Wow. Talk about hiding what your hands are doing.

I think Charles was posting this as that came up on the other thread. Hopefully somebody reported that and he will put up a "Press Crime" thread momentarily.

re: #6 Sharmuta

I cannot believe I am actually looking forward to a Bill Clinton speech.

I once saw some people pouring out of a Rage Against the Machine concert. They could have rivaled Rage Boy and his ilk on a post Friday prayer session with their anger. It was scary.

Me too, but there is a first time for everything.

Charles, I do hope that at some point this evening you might consider a post about the ABC reporter arrested for taking photos on a public sidewalk of Democratic Senators and their donors.

It's bigger than one reporter. It's indicative of a trend -- a threat -- emerging in the Obama mentality. Same goes for his attempt to use the DoJ to suppress the Ayers advertisment. Same goes for him tossing the New Yorker writer off the campaign trail, following the (ironically) unflattering cover. And so forth.

It's a big deal, I believe. Perhaps the biggest of the moment.

Misdirection. Used by all great magicians.

And I believe that this big ol' box is going to be just as empty as when the Presto-Chango guy disappears his lovely assistant.

CSPAN has the dancing delegates!

Rage against the Machine is a nice family oriented rock group and I'm sure they will inspire many un-decided voters to jump aboard the Obama train.

re: #13 Cognito

I just seconded you, by up-dinging and reporting your #13.

Sigh, 4 hours of dealing with a customers problem, to finally have them say "oops, I messed up, nevermind."

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing RATM. Extra bonus is that anyone that you elbow in the pit, is probably a dirty "anachist" anyway. Win/Win.

That is what concerns me. I hope the Republican convention sees this and makes sure that everything is completely above board and obvious.

From Geraghty at NRO:

Obama Was Born To Run Without Springsteen

Dang, dang, dang. No Springsteen concert after Obama's acceptance speech. We won't be seeing The Rising, for a guy who, it turns out, was actually Born in the USA.

And it would have been such a nice closing, after the convention opened with Michelle Obama's Brilliant Disguise.

Just remember......the left projects big-time.

Remember "Selected, Not Elected" from 2000? Of course, now that THEY control the levers of power, "Selecting" is no longer a problem

Oh, and "Count Every Vote!"....probably tells us what's happening at the hotels and it reads more like "Count Every Vote I want Counted"

On the arrest of the ABC guy.

40 years of lies from ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, eatl as they enabled these commie Democrats now in power,,, well what goes around comes around, ABC, you made this evil ass bed, lay on the nails you installed yourselfs.

"We the People" knew this day would come, we are not afraid of the commie Democrats, bring it on.

re: #13 Cognito

And what was that someone mentioned earlier, that Fox would lose its press pass if it aired the Ayers commercial? Wasn't able to get any confirmation of that, but it goes along with the trend.

re: #32 Fat Jolly Penguin

Well, for the moonbats anyway. Shoulda' clarified.

I wasn't sure what to expect last night before the speech. After it, I was fairly certain that the influence of the Clinton family was almost over. Her only chance to continue is to play nice and hope for Obama's defeat, then stage a comeback for 2012. Seems obvious now, but I really thought there was a chance that her speech would be thinly veiled disappointment or contempt of the newcomer, especially after Gloria Allred pulled that gagged Schism stunt yesterday.

Also, several radical left wing groups have sponsored a concert by Rage Against My Allowance the Machine, going on now.

Charles, I'm going to be giggling about that all the way home and disturbing (!) my fellow train-riders!

re: #13 Cognito

From your link:

A police official later told lawyers for ABC News that Eslocker is being charged with trespass, interference, and failure to follow a lawful order

He "trespassed", on a public sidewalk. How... interesting.

(Unless there's more to the story than we know from the ABCNews article, etc. etc.)

Ah, Rage Against the Machine. Everyone's favorite supporter of cop killers.

That sounds like utter and transparent rubbish. He trespassed by taking photos they didn't want him to take, and his "failure to follow lawful orders" sounds like he didn't hand over his film/cards.

This is an enormous debacle for the Democrats. I think the worst of the Convention so far, by far.

So much for the party of the "Common People"

So one has to wonder, how much are the pro-socialism, anti-corporate, anti-establishment rockers Rage Against the Machine being paid by the Obama Campaign and how much are they getting from their corporate sponsors and merchandise sales for their appearance?

re: #41 Occasional Reader

The article says that the police said the sidewalk was owned by the hotel. Somehow I doubt that.

From what I'm hearing it's going to be an actual full roll call vote of all the states, A-W.

I don't think they come to the podium, but put a mike on each delegation head as they announce their state vote.

I have believed from tha jump that Barry & the Mrs. are angry vindictive people. If you read him & listen to her, you can easily conclude that they believe that they have not gotten their full props because of their race.
They intend to punish this society & the rule of law be damned.

re: #31 cliffster

Let's be honest....there really wasn't any diversity at the time of the Constitution. The fact that the Chinese, Africans, and English weren't represented at its creation is enough to prove its being antiquated. We also cannot forget that it was created without the input of Womyn. How can we truly follow such a racist, sexist, and un diversse document, and otherwise expect it to represent the modern make up of the American people? Lastly, it cannot be ignored that this so-called Constitution was accepted without approval of the World community.

re: #50 CyanSnowHawk

Even if the sidewalk was owned by the hotel, the second that he was out in the road they had no right to have him arrested. And in most states, if you allow public passage across your property on a regular basis you lose the right to claim that the property is "private" - it becomes a public way.

If the sidewalk was in fact owned by the hotel (which I also think is doubtful), the public right of way in such places is, of course, revocable. If you walk into the lobby of the nearest Ritz-Carlton, you're not trespassing. If you make a scene, are asked to leave, and refuse, you ARE trespassing.

You laugh, but it occurs to me that there have periodically been calls for a new Constitutional Convention. I can remember two or three times since I reached voting age that this political rabies swept through the land.

I am beginning to wonder whether that hideous idea will be resurrected should the Democrats achieve the victory they dream of. Imagine what it would be like if the PC garbage that is even now tearing chunks out of the current document were to become the basis for a complete redraft.

re: #69 vxbush

I absolutely do. In fact I don't think Obama would be anywhere near Washington DC without nefarious being involved. He should be back in Chicago, or Jakarta, or wherever.

Michelle Malkin has been all over the attempts by the Obama Campaign to squelch free speech. She has quite a bit of information on what they are up to.

That is not the same thing as the public sidewalk outside of the hotel, since it is impossible to pass the hotel without walking on the sidewalk.

re: #64 galloping granny

Even if the sidewalk was owned by the hotel, the second that he was out in the road they had no right to have him arrested. And in most states, if you allow public passage across your property on a regular basis you lose the right to claim that the property is "private" - it becomes a public way.

That's only for portions of the property which have become public access by right. The hotel could own the sidewalk, but they don't own the right of way, and would have to get a permit to block access temporarily.

If you have a path across an acreage that has been used by people who do not own the property for many years, like a shortcut, you cannot subsequently block access or put it off limits. But people can't go traipsing all over the property, that is definitely trespass.

If you walk into the lobby of the nearest Ritz-Carlton, you're not trespassing. If you make a scene, are asked to leave, and refuse, you ARE trespassing.

But revocation of an easement for general public use is not something you can effect without notifying the individual(s) before hand, and generally requires demonstration of some basis if challenged. Not that any of that prevented the cops from taking the guy into custody.
