WGN On The Air "We just want it to stop. It's not fair, it's blatant attacks against Barak Obama"
I'm listening to WGN, where Stanley Kurtz apparently just finished talking about his research. The first two callers - apparently triggered by the obama campaign - both wanted Kurtz silenced.
I'm beyond disgust. I've been bitterly opposed to 'silence the critics' on blogs and in the media everywhere. This is not remotely the kind of politics that represents change that I want to be part of.
Steven Diamond is talking now...nice slam at Ayers. Makes me feel better about being liberal. Windsofchange.net Thursday, August 28, 2008ABC And The Brown Palace - The Brown Palace's Side There's a contremps over an ABC crew getting arrested. So I asked the hotel about it.
Quoted in full, with their permission:
Dear Mr. Danziger,
If I may provide an explanation about today's events:
The ABC news cameras were intruding on the entrance of the hotel, creating
an unsafe entrance/exit for our guests, which are our priority at all
times. The police department asked them to move to the side several times
so that our guests could enter/exit, and ABC refused. ABC was clearly told
that they could stand on the sidewalk but it is illegal to block an
entrance to any business, which is what they were doing. After not
complying with the police requests, they were then asked to move to the
other side of the street. It is our understanding that ABC continued to
speak belligerently to the police and were arrested for not complying with
police orders. The arrest resulted from issues between the police and ABC,
not The Brown Palace Hotel.

Blackfive, Uncle Jimbo, and NZ Bear all wrote about the logistics and posted pictures and video, so let me refer to some of their pictures and cites:
...and of course they talked smack (and some compliments) about me...
Ok, so who taught you that you carry your weapon like some bag from Prada? MKH might get away with it.. but guys, c'mon. REAL dudes know better.
Someone tell A-L he's carrying it LIKE a typical 'liberal'- ''eww, someone take this!''

And, as much as we kid Marc Danziger (the best dressed range trainee I've ever seen - Italian shoes, even) about the huge money he has spent on training, we ate some humble pie as he demonstrated that his investment was worth it.

Barack obama will portray himself Thursday night as an agent of change for mainstream America, but his eight-year voting record in the Illinois Senate shows the Democrat was on occasion an agent of isolation who took stands - particularly...

swing that for several days recently sent Pawlenty barnstorming for
Republican candidate John McCain across the battleground states of Ohio
and Pennsylvania. It culminates months in which Pawlenty's national
profile has risen amid speculation about his chances of being chosen as
McCain's running mate."Meanwhile, Lieberman refu Taegan Goddard's Political Wire Thursday, August 28, 2008The Democratic Underground Thread Of The Day: If They Steal The Election Again, What Then?
