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

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.

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.

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"

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!

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.

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

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.

The U.S. Constitution: Racist, Sexist, Elitest, Stale, Arrogant -----Antiquated!

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.

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'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.

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.

Not if you rely on public schools or the current group of college profs out there

If the hotel in question is set back from the street, with their own parking lot around it, and the sidewalk is quite clearly completely on the hotel property, only surrounding the building, I still believe they are wrong to have arrested the press.

But the difference between that situation and a sideway along a public street will be important to some.

Of course, smart business tend to make sure that right doesn't get generated, by blocking off access one day a year (or something similar).

Only one day a year? Would that dodge even FLY?

re: #115 Canadian Guy

Fox reporting Obama giving Bill Clinton just 10 minutes to speak. LOL

BillyJeff can't say 'hello' in ten minutes. Imagine how long he's going to take to say 'goodbye'.

Or maybe, 'until we meet again, my good friends.'

Personally, I prefer Italian Martial Arts. "Vinnie! Bobbie! Jump this guy!"

re: #154 Shug

And before he got elected POTUS, they used to complain about how he would talk too long - like Biden.

They can give him 10 minutes. The Clenis will take 30. What are they going to do - pull him off the stage? Cut the microphone?

(4) President must only be "citizen" for 20 years. ...

I remember an editorial cartoon where Gorbachev was running for President on the Democratic ticket because he needed the job.

re: #132 WrathofG-d

Did you read his suggestions? Wow. (1) Permanant civilian timelines to wars. (2) new Constitition every 19 years (3) States with more people get extra seats. (tyrany of the majority) (4) President must only be "citizen" for 20 years. ...

I can't read more now.....

How often do other major Democratic countries change out their constitutions, charters, etc? I've heard some do that sort of theing regularly. Not a happy thought, that, actually... :-|

With all this "government will save you" rehashed Socialism being popular today...i have no doubt that the U.S. could go down that path. 1/2 of the Cournty just might follow an empty cult-of-personality into the most powerful position on earth.

But then again I'm a person that thinks that something horrible for Jews is going to happen in the U.S. eventually anyway...so...I'll see you in H'Eretz.

Kind of like Oingo Boingo on the Gong Show - they were so loud, they couldn't hear the gong. So they kept going.

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.

That was me. I was pissed 'cuz I felt ripped off. Lousy sound system, poor mixing, and they sounded like they hadn't practiced in months.

Plus, the mosh pit was full of wussies. I didn't even get a bruise.

To put this in a historical perspective, this is like the Stanlinists vs. the Trotskyites. There will be a major purge in the democratic party after McCain wins the next election by about 3 percentage points.

On the bright side Hillary will set up special re-education camps for the Kossites and the Huffington crowd. Does Bill Richardson have a safe house in Mexico he can go to?

Bottles are easier to handle, but there are few things more satisfying than hearing a loud resounding thunk when a full beer can goes off some old boys head. Then, you can still drink the beer after it calms down a little.

Hillary's people should just walk out.

Fat f*ing chance; 0bamanation has made far TOO MANY "slips", and has all anti-Israel advisers, but the moonbat hasn't heard all I know.
Judging from the responses he's gotten, I don't think he'll even be able to start. They know their candidate is anti-Israel.
