#1 Thous shalt not expose fat cats, lobbyists, panderers, money men and other hangers on who would display the hypocrisy of the Obamessiah without suffering the wrath of his Democrat Party Guardians and local party apparatchiks.

More of Obama's and the Dems elitism on display.

I wonder when the press will catch on as to how corrupt the Dem Party has become?

#2 If this had happened at the Republican convention, it would be on all the nightly news, the video of the reporter being arrested would be played more than the Rodney King video, and mass hysteria would ensue.

But, it was at the Democratic convention. You see, it's OK if certain things get done, because getting the Obamamessiah into office is most important and all other ideals must be set aside.

#3 I've become so cynical, I question the sincerity of the other pessimists.

That's actually a paraphrase of a quote from a French philosopher.

#4 FWIW, the cops in Boston can't use the phrase 'paddy wagon' anymore, since it's derogatory towards the Irish...

#5 The fact that this tidbit is getting no play in the media........especially you would think ABC would be howling like a turpentined dog...........speaks volumes about how the fourth estate is completely in bed with the dems.

They want to compare the GOP to the Nazis and its the Dems who are practicing totalitarianism. This Parthaneon that they are building for BO in Denver is so reminiscent of Hitler's venues in Nurnberg and Munich. Everyone needs to watch "Triumph of the Will" and see where all of this current leftist imagery is coming from.

If BO gets elected, no one's privacy or civil rights are safe. The Dems will turn the Patriot Act on anyone who dares to counter them.

I am not a big fan of the direction of the Democratic party right now. SO you guys in the GOP have to win this one for the freedom of everyone.

The patriot act isn't a product of the Democrats.

#9 Flash, it was actually bi-partisan. But it is likely they would be just itching to abuse it for their "lofty" ends: ends, meet the means.

#10 yep - agreed bi-partisan.

I've wondered with the concentration of power in the president, the weakening of civil liberties, how long until we get someone who wants to be president for life?

I just hope it isn't a problem during my lifetime. But just in case, I am preparing the bumper stickers...

Flash91 in '12 y'all! Vote early and vote often.
