#1 So I take it they'll have no problems when the Denver cops start cracking skulls?
They want a re-creation, give em a re-creation...

#2 They are just pining for a martyr, aren't they? Obama better watch his back.

#4 This should be entertaining and good for a few million votes for the Republican party.

#5 A big splashy donk convention re-recreation will most certainly drive voters to the trunks.

#6 Gimme the Popcorn!

This will push Colorado way Republican, and will throw the senate race too! Let those spoiled brats come and do their thing.

I'll be there with a digicam, but you'll have to forgive the laughter you'll hear from me in the audio.

#7 Somebody remind these chowderheads that the Chicago convention led eventually to a Nixon victory. Unless the thought process is that the yippies *wanted* Nixon on the Leninesque "the worse the better" revolutionary installment plan. Which means that they're expecting a peacenik revolutionary victory under President McCain? I don't know...

#8 And if they want to try to push around the CO Army National Guard, they are welcome to try. C 3/19 SF will be more than happy to discuss things with the rabid anti-war idiots when they return from their 3rd overseas combat tour since 2003. Especially if they start in on that "Babykiller" crap again.

#11 “A lot of people of course associate it with the DNC of ’68 and react negatively,” said organizer Mark Cohen. But the point, Cohen said, isn’t to reproduce the violence associated with the 1968 convention, just the strong sense of countercultural protest that coalesced against the Vietnam War. “We don’t call ourselves ‘Re-create Chicago ’68,’” Cohen offered.

Like, no, no, no, man. We don't want, like, yer Bushitler pig violence, man. We want, like, only the good stuff, like, hippie possy and good smoke and, like, stickin it to THE MAN!, and, like, doing whatever we want, man. Like, y'know, Woodstock or Altamont or whatever that movie was about. Maybe, like Green Day or Rage Against the Machine will do gigs, that'd be sooooo cool. So why don't the pigs just realize that and, like, be cool wid it and, like end the war in Iran, man, know whut I'm sayin...

#12 If they do it right, it will push Colorado back into the Republican side. I'm betting on it if they can organize it. Moonbats just can't behave.

#15 #10: Can we have tear gas too? Please!

Retch gas (CS) would be better, let them slide along in their own vomit. (On live TV, of course)

#16 Favorite line from the wife of a DNC wife looking down from the suites at what is now the Hilton Towers in Chicago in 1968:

"Mayor Daley, we can see hippies fornicating in Grant Park from our hotel room- can you do something about it?"

#17 Let me guess. All of the protesters are age 58-60? reliving their misspent youth. For them it will ALWAYS be 1968. Sad.


I regret that this post is neither complete nor conclusive.

#18 Just remember for the re-creation, the police should not create disorder, they are to PRESERVE DISORDER!
I was in downtown Chicago the day of Grant Park as a youth. Never got any Humphrey stuff, the people at the Hump's HQ wanted donations no freebies. Nixon HQ had a bowl with buttons and some bumper stickers. Take some and get lost kids. as we walked away an old fire truck with a Humphrey Dixieland band pulled up to serenade the Nixon HQ.
My brother's friend then suggested we visit Wallace HQ. Here we at last got a warm welcome, which got even warmer after my brother's friend told them he had sent in money for his official George Wallace campaign kit. Mucho Wallace stuff scored at that stop. On the way back to the train station lots of Nat'l Guard driving real fast, off to Grant Park we later learned.

Especially when it dawns on them that 60 year olds can't run as fast as three tour Iraq veterans be they CNG or reservist police back on the beat/riot control duty. Boys, just whisper into their ears after you slam them hard down on the pavement - Gitmo, they'll lose their bowel control. How will they take it - Depends.
