The Kingdom Takes Over Denver
By Pat Racimora on August 19, 2008 at 3:55 PM in Constitution, Democratic National Convention, Obamatopia, denver
What would a gaudy extravaganza for “The Coronation” be without a dungeon? Sure enough, as Uppity Woman has already reported here wire cages topped off with barbed wire and stun-gun carrying guards await anyone who …. does what?
Despite detailed descriptions of the facility, the arrest, bond posting, and court processing, why one would be arrested remains fuzzy. I finally found the one sheet flier everyone will be handed that sheds new light on the term “vague.” Couched in the cloak of one’s rights, your guess as to why you can be hauled off to the Denver Gitmo is as good as mine. Every “right” has a “but.” You can speak out, unless….You can march on public streets, unless… Or, I quote, “Even if you are not engaged in unlawful activity, you are subject to citation and/or arrest if you do not leave the area defined by the police in their lawful (?) order to disperse.” I get the feeling that the police can make it up as they go.
This reminds me of the bigger picture. Obama’s comment last June 14th in Philadelphia, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun” suggests that his critics will be treated harshly. The Democratic Party has lost its moorings and appears to be about to push through an inexperienced candidate who we know little about (most records either conveniently missing or under embargo), and what we do know involves some pretty ruthless and dangerous associates. How would the freedom of expression and right of association be played out under an Obama administration? Like Denver, it simply is not clear–but it feels ominous.
When Obama is president, you’ll have one of those on every street.
yes, true - and the cages will be labeled “herein are the racists.”
and all will be wearing big red R’s on their shirts.
they will be marched down the streets where the witch.. I mean racist burnings will be held.
Yeah, that’s exactly right — we get the details in our secret daily bot emails — once Obama is president, martial law will be imposed, all those who did not vote for him will be arrested, all puppies and kittens will be outlawed, rainbows will vanish, and all will be darkness forevermore.
Do you people have any what fucking idiots you sound like? Grow the hell up.
admitting it is the first step to detox you obama supporters from all the kool-aid you induced.
LOL!
Ummmmmm…
I believe it’s called SNARK.
Sheesh, have a sense of humor…oh wait, I forgot. Obama and his minions have none.
Folks are having fun, that’s all. Never too old for that.
BUT sfhillary, you must be too young to remeber 1968. That was something else again, and the people are about as upset now as they were then.
One saving grace, of course, will be that Hillary supporters are not a violent lot. I would be much more afraid if Hillary was the one to be nominated.
You know, it has never once crossed my mind to go a pro-Obama site and irritate people. Now who needs to grow the hell up?
btintaos,
You get the brass ring. Right on the money.
Who indeed needs to grow the hell up?
Like they would ever let that happen. Dailykooks allows ZERO criticism and critiques of Obama, no matter how pro-Obama or meaningfull it is.
same with democraticunderground.com; it’s cheerleading for the wonder boy or you’re outta there.
You come here where you are able to post freely (unlike pro-oblahblah websites) and call us idiots. Look, you half-baked, half-witted troll, if you don’t like what we post here, go the hell away-you be a grown up for a change.
Right, like Obamabots are grown up. Donna Brazile: If Obama isn’t the nominee, I’m leaving the Party. Then the bots criticize Hillary people if we don’t like him.
You grow up!
The left was all upset over Bush and his cages….so now they create cages themselves!?
What happened to the Constitutional law lecturer’s respect for the Constitution?
Scared they might reveal someone who hasn’t drank the kool-aid on tv? The MSM certainly won’t report it so what is the worry with Obama? That the First Amendment might actually occur on the streets of Denver?
oOOOoo scary! People speaking their minds.
It is such utter nonsense that they accept this from Obama when the left whined about Bush subverting democracy with these same cages. They have no honor.
However, the proof of Obama’s intent will be in the accounts of the people who were caught. It certainly was with the Bush cages.
it is an eye-opener indeed to see how quickly democrats adopt the gestapo tactics they decried when repugs first used them.
Actually, I don’t think this is the democratic party in regard to the “gastapo” tactics now being used by the Obamas.
In one of the videos about the astonishing tactics used in the caucuses, this democratic party leader said, “The democratic party has been taken over by ‘young white males’” - the MoveOn.Org types.
This, of course, with the blessing of Dean, Brazile, Pelosi, and Clyburn. And the reason we MUST take our party back. We cannot allow this hi-tec demographic group who knows nothing about history or life to take over the reins of this country.
Obama will re-name the US “Zimbabwe West” after his friend Mugagbe.
Oh, yeah. And I bet there were a bunch of sycophants like you in Germany when the shit started hitting the fan there, too. When Nobama & the DNC start ACTING like democrats, we’ll start believing they really are. Until then, better to be prepared and hope we were just being paranoid. Some of us remember all too well how people can get carried away by their political fervor and end up doing really bad things. What concerns some of us is that if y’all will brook no dissent now, what the hell would you be like if your candidate actually won? Like we used to say in the sixties- “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean no one’s following you.”
Make sure there’s plenty of memory on your cel ph. camera. Bring plenty of memory cards and batteries for you camaras. If you have heart problems, maybe a sign stating your condition would be wise…
Will there be separate “cages” for the P.U.M.A.s, too????
Whatever happened to the constitutional law - on the Right to Assemble. As of right now this is a free country in which people have the right to protest. Just asking.
The photo should be on CNN’s daily Hot Shots: Images of Tomorrow’s News.
With you in it.
you obama would love that, wouldn’t you? you’d love obama and dnc thugs to take away our constitutional freedoms.
you obama supporters would love that, wouldn’t you? you’d love obama and dnc thugs to take away our constitutional freedoms.
Actually, it’s McCain and the Republicans who pose a far greater threat to our constitutional freedoms. But you have to live in the real world to know this, and the real world is not exactly a PUMA strong suit.
if we’re so insignificant, you wouldn’t be spending much of your time here, complaining about us constantly.
FISA! FISA!
the real (grown up) progressives are not backing fauxbama.
Absolutely correct!
And it is not just FISA but backtracking on off-shore drilling, pro-choice, gun control, and taking about 7 different positions on the war in Iraq.
Right and wrong. Trouble is our rights have already been eroded. We live in a torture state and we can be disappeared at the command of the executive.
Excuse me but, what was 0bama’s vote on FISA again?
0bama and his Chicago thug tactics are no better than anything the Rethugs have done. Caucus cheating. Hacking sites. Threatening people. Not allowing opposing viewpoints on pro0bama sites, unlike here at No Quarter, these don’t exactly put me in the mood for seeing it your way.
But then again, I don’t do kool-aid.
Talk about not living in the real world.
what was Obama’s vote on FISA again???
I have a challenge for your candidate; why doesn’t he challenge McCain to a test on the Constitution and see who wins. Because from what I hear Obama isn’t too up on Constitutional law. After this weekend’s performance, I think McCain would win.
And I don’t know about Obama’s “real world” but in the real world we live in no one is providing us with 6 million dollar mansions and inflation just jumped to 5.6% in July. That’s very real to Voters!
You want to talk about the real world when all of you hopeless Obama zombies think you are following the yellow brick road to Oz.
ummmmm typical Obama thug response. What do you want. A Robert Mugabe type of oppression. You remind me of his supporters. Who rant and rave for their cheap-horn Dictator!
I think their preference is an Odinga style one…keep it in the family type of thing.
That was not my post.
Except he’s NOT gonna be president! PUMA!
I hope and pray,you are right.Barry will never be the president of our country.Sometime I loose every hope that the truth will ever pevail
16 years of Obama. 8 for Barry, 8 for Michelle. That’s a lot of time to spend in a dungeon.
He will NOT be president- plain and simple. America is waking up.
Surreal coming from you.
And you will be in it as soon as you do not obey Baby Obama.
Well, they could be for all the pissed off Obamabits who try and riot after Hillary get the nomination….a girl can dream can’t she?
If not then, the on November 5.
You have that right, Strawberry!
Obama brings a natural high to all Americans. With Barack we do not need beer and drugs. Denver is the perfect place for hearing the intoxicating words of Barack Obama.
not to this American. He makes me sick to my stomach with worry for America’s future under Soetoro. NO thanks, I don’t want an Indonesian dictatorship.
Obama is the political equivalent of Syrup of Ipecac. You wouldn’t be able to hold down beer or drugs, anyway. Somehow Oborg derive a ‘high’ from that.
Most of this country will be ill from Obama and will need quite a bit of legal drugs while Obama and his zombies will be doing the illegal drugs while singing kumbaya.
Pass the Obamaijuana
I hope this is a snark.
Naw man Obama was saying just the other day…
“Up In Smoke” C&C
WTF?
How old are you? 17? That simply has no logic or reality attached to it!!
That’s the Obot panties falling down statement of the day! LOL
Look everyone - a funny Obot!!!
BooBoo:
If you think the economy is bad now wait until everyone calls in sick if Obama becomes president.
In an Obama presidency, I suppose I’ll have to wear a yellow star on my clothing, too…
And the Obamabots will each be fitted with their very own Brown Shirt…
It gets scarier and scarier.
Nah you won’t need a star if you’re a white woman.
Zing!
Remember when nuns were arrested in CO because of protesting the war in IraQ?
We can either fight this now or wait till Nazi Germany is upon us. Its clear that with the consolidation of power under Bush, we’re living in a more and more rights-restricted America.
I like that one Strawberry
There’s still a part of me that truly believes Hillary will walk away from the convention as our nominee, and these “cages” are for the angry Obamabots; who are naturally violent, abusive and irrational as it is.
Imagine, we all know the Superdelegates are going to decide this, and they’ve all been privy to the same info we have these past couple months. There just might be a Clinton Coup at the convention with the Supers going her way. Then we can all get some much needed rest knowing our country will be safe and these Obamafreaks are put away where they belong.
Well James, I can’t imagine cages being built for the average Hillary supporter. If we Clintonites haven’t rioted yet at the way we’ve been treated, I don’t know what else could make us resort to violence. Perhaps Barky stabbing puppies? Michelle eating the heads off of fluffy bunnies?
You mean everyone who supports Obama deserves…what exactly?
jail, idiot. there is no place in america for racist thugs like you or Soetoro.
All Obama supporters are sexist and homophobic. They are also very violent, and many of them have a predilection for criminal behaviour.
what do you mean deserves what? you deserve HIM, the ONE, of course!
A brain transplant.
I agree with UMMM. What was that he said he would have, a civilian army or something? He reminds me of the news reils they used to show of Hitler before movies in the 50s when I was a kid.
“This reminds me of the bigger picture. Obama’s comment last June 14th in Philadelphia, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun” suggests that his critics will be treated harshly.”
Is Obama suggesting his supporters bring guns to the convention in Denver???
If they do, will Obama be held accountable for incite to violence and possibly murder?
Of course not. He’s not held accountable of anything. That’s his definition of leadership.
Are you really this stupid? Are you not familiar with that quote? It’s a famous quote from a movie about Al Capone, and Obama’s comment referred to not sitting back and taking Republican negative attacks without fighting back. It has nothing to do with actual violence and nothing to do with Democrats.
Man, every time I think I cannot read a dumber comment from a PUMA, you folks prove me wrong.
really? then that means, *gasp*, obama would be doing negative campaigning even though he said he would be a candidate of hope and change and new politics. of course, to obama, it’s just words.
Oh, hush. That’s what you’re getting paid for!
some of us are true pacifists, we don’t believe in even speaking of violence. obama needs to rid his speech of “hip” pop culture and rap references. he loses more of us EVERY day.
Oh you mean Al Capone the infamous CHICAGO CRIME BOSS???
When you invoke the words of a mass murdering crime lord (whether from a movie or not), you are aligning yourself with that style of tactics.
If he meant what you say he meant, then he should have said just that. Instead of making an Obama/Capone comparison.
It’s a lose lose for Obama regarding this statement-
Either he meant it as it is, and considers Capone tactics ok
or
He didn’t mean it that way but is too stupid to know that he confirmed the fears a lot of us have about his wanna be Capone attitude
So which is it? Is he a wanna be Capone, or a stupid foot in mouth dolt?
The Chickenshit Sniper Troll is on the loose again.
If he didn’t mean it, then he surely is guilty of poor judgment, dumbass. Oops…I thought judgment was his strong suit.
LMAO.
Can Obama remember somebody else comment than Al Capone’s.All Chicago politics are based on Al-Capone, teaching and style. So, the apple won’t fall fare from the tree.Sad,he didn’t know a more intelligent comment,they are so many
Sad, Obama could not remember some other remarcable an intelligent comment,just Al-Capone’s.But you can’t expect a better one if your whole political experience are based on Al-Capone’s teaching and metods.
well there ya go, sfhillary, McCain said Obama was a ‘celebrity’, and quoting movies proves it!
What is he auditioning for a part in West side Story?
Ever had a 5 year old tell you he was more worried about gettin home with out getting shot than pratice the Piano?
I would guess not.
I feel like such a fool.
I never imagined there were such terrible Democrats as the Obama gang. In a matter of months, the whole party has gone bad.

Good one Perry!
Never run a Rovian campaign on your own party!
Not, really our party was hijacked by Dean and Company. There day is coming though.
Wow, that guy has some kind of personality disorder.
Yes, you are right. I think it’s confirmed that Obama has Narcissistic (sp) personality disorder bordering on being a Sociopath.
If he keeps telling his supporters to arm themselves, we can add psychopath to the list.
Confirmed by whom? lol. “Confirmed,” that’s rich.
confirmed by obama, you’re just proof of that.
remember on saturday night? in between gaffes and umms, he said he needs to be protected from his selfishness?! HELLO!
and then remember the Holy Wall in Jersusalem whem his “secret” letter to God was”leaked” — he wanted God to save him from his own pride…
yeah, he gets himself, one saving grace!
Aren’t you in the inner Obot circle? Obama channels Jim Jones, His contingency plan is to have all you Obots sacrifice yourselves at his feet Guns, poison, knives, whatever. But you will be expected to die for THE ONE.
Are you a brave little Obot? Or just a disenfranchised soul looking for a group to belong to?
Dear little Obot. So clueless. So gullible.
The Democratic Party will never unify without Clinton as the nominee,and Obama if need be the VP…
Nothing else will do,nothing else will fix this mess.
Clinton—Nominee
Obama —VP..
Nothing else will do..
Don’t be surprised if someone or some people die at the hands of taser-happy PO PO!
I’m not sure if Obama is smart enough to realize this but if people DO die at this thing, it’s an automatic landslide for McCain..
That is IF the election isn’t cancelled by Bush
Nah, Bush is so sick and tired of being king, he’s already got the movering truck baced up at the door of the White House. He can’t wait to sleep late(er) and snort coke off of Gannon’s tushy.
That’s the first time I’ve heard about monkey cancelling the election. If that happens, they’ll have to build hundreds of those contraptions all over the country.
Really the first time???
It’s a tongue in cheek referrence to the conspiracy theories going around about 4-5 years ago about Bush making it his decision to declare marshall law and have eveyone hauled off to concentration camps being built in secret locations.
I really thought everyone had heard those conspiracy theories.
Actually, it was more like six months ago when they were moving battleships into the Gulf and talking up what a baddie Iran is. An October surprise — more war! — shock and awe, goodby America.
What’s next, putting them to the rack until they confess to the sin of heresy?
I think I will choose being pressed to death.
Better yet, don’t get caught.
I’m just kidding of course.
What do I have to avoid getting caught doing?
My true feeling is:
I think it will be completely peaceful, very few arrests.
If you don’t know, I can’t explain it to you.
You misunderstand -
As I said in my comment, I think there will be very few arrests.
I won’t get arrested, or pressed to death, because I won’t be doing anything to get arrested, or pressed to death for.
Thanks for your concern tho.
All I can say is that I do not have a good feeling about this at all. It is either posturing or they plan on arresting people. The questions then become why the posturing or, conversely, how strictly they are going to enforce the restrictions?
Every political convention of the modern era has had protesters, gathering restrictions and at least a few arrests. When the same happens at this convention, though, you PUMAs with your laughably inflated sense of your own importance will no doubt proclaim the advent of fascism.
Face it, you’re an intellectual joke.
So why are you the one posting on what you know to be a Pro-Clinton site. You are what is laughable. DO you make bets between the bots, to see who can come to NQ and boast and upset people? Or is it like going past the scary abandoned mansion, and then you can tell all your friends you posted on NQ? Then you will be a “hit”, considered “hot”, and then you can claim a “random” life moment of taking a political stand. Please excuse my “vitriol”
