FOX News Attacked by Recreate68 DNC Demonstrators
By Uppity Woman on August 25, 2008 at 2:55 PM in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Democratic National Convention, Recreate 68, Recreate68
Recreate68, AKA 1968 Wannabees, repeat that convention’s violence– and help America be horrified so that they will RUN to the polls to vote against Barack Obama, especially all those “Bitter” hics, you know? Just like 1968. How cool is that?
Keep up the good work! You old hippies who are still on the bong, and you left overs from the Communist party may have bad backs now, but you sure still know how to rile up a demonstration. Thanks for your help!
Now, you had better look out for the ipods of those kids you suckered punched into getting arrested for you. If their ipod gets cracked, they will leave. Oh and when can we expect to see your Body Hammer tricks from your Self Defense Manual? Very cool! (Readers, do not miss the chance to click that link).
Did you happen to tell those kids who are into all this cool days-gone-by excitement that, back on those days, sometimes the National Guard showed up and it wasn’t pretty? Just asking. I suggest you text everybody and let them know, mmmmkay?
Oooooooooo! Is that a Che Guevara poster I see???

Here’s a video gang. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D74Xs1VuYAE]
The first national poll conducted after Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) chose Delaware Senate veteran Joe Biden shows a tied race between the Illinois Democrat and Arizona Republican John McCain.
A CNN/Opinion Research poll released Sunday finds 47 percent backing Obama, and 47 percent backing McCain.
CNN’s analysis suggests supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) may be keeping Obama from the lead he might otherwise have. Clinton won 18 million votes in the Democratic primary, and polls have consistently shown that not all of her backers have joined the Obama camp.
“Sixty-six percent of Clinton supporters — registered Democrats who want Clinton as the nominee — are now backing Obama,” the network wrote. “That’s down from 75 percent in the end of June. Twenty-seven percent of them now say they’ll support McCain, up from 16 percent in late June.”
The difference now? Joe Biden. Many Clinton supporters were holding out hope that Obama would name Clinton as his running mate. He didn’t — and moreover, it emerged that he didn’t consider her at all.
“This looks like a step backward for Obama, who had a 51 to 44 percent advantage last month,” CNN Polling Director Keating Holland remarked. “Even last week, just before his choice of Joe Biden as his running mate became known, most polls tended to show Obama with a single-digit advantage over McCain.”

Verrrry interesting:
Thanks for that quote.
Dave Barry had a good take on the convention — sometimes a humorist’s take goes right to the gut:
http://www.miamiherald.com/living/columnists/dave-barry/story/655722.html
THANKS so much for that, I needed a laugh and Dave Barry almost always cracks me up.
They have a net. Now that is a visual.
Dean and Donna running after Hillary.
Hey, it could happen, it isn’t over yet!
Dave Barry’s comments are priceless. Thanks, I needed that too. Hanna Montana ‘08.
Oh now come on Harp. You know there are only 12 Hillary supporters still not in line, and that dozen are all unedjumacated racist republican dead-enders.
So why can’t ob close the deal?
They’ve all been saying there will be unity after the convention. And all I can say to that is PUMA.
Hey, didn’t you get the memo? Today’s Obama word is “bitter-enders”. I guess they didn’t want their supporters to use the “dead-enders” identifier they’ve been hitting everyone with for the last several months.
Now, I’ve heard the “bitter-enders” nomenclature on all 3 cable news nets today so I’m pretty sure it has come straight down in talking points from Axelrove. *rolls eyes*
look on the bright side; that kind of talk creates more “bitter-enders” every day.
“bitter-enders?” Yep, that’s right. I won’t vote for Obambi even to the “bitter-end.”
Obama dismisses worries about Clinton fallout
DAVENPORT, Iowa – Senator Barack Obama on Monday dismissed concern that any quarreling or hard feelings directed toward him by supporters of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton would damage the Democratic ticket in the fall campaign.
“The Clintons love this country and they love the Democratic Party,” Mr. Obama said. “They are going to be active parts of our campaign for the remaining 70 days.”
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/25/obama-dismisses-worries-about-clinton-fallout/?hp
FANTASTIC! Thank you Harp for the link and the poll numbers.
Uppity did you see all those small children in that video? Their parents didn’t even attempt to get them back from any danger. What kind of parents are they? Hey kids let’s go commit a crime let Daddy and Mommy show you how to beat up on people using a mob. Always make sure you outnumber your opponent or be quit. Unbelievable!
I hope they keep acting this way to show the world the kinds of thugs that support Senator Obama.
Well, at least Tom Brokow is finally being honest about the shabby treatment Senator Clinton received during the Democratic primary.
Brokaw: Hillary’s ‘Unfair’ Treatment
The very sage-like Tom Brokaw, drawn out of retirement at NBC by Tim Russert’s tragic death, thinks press treatment of Hillary Clinton was unfair.
Speaking Sunday at the annual Joan Shorenstein Center lunch for journalists, Brokaw was joined on a panel by Bob Schieffer and George Stephanopolous, while Judy Woodruff moderated.
When the subject turned to how Clinton was treated by the media, Brokaw was forthright.
“The coverage was loaded against her,” he said. “There was too much discussion of her need to drop out of the race. Voters who were passionate about her and waiting to vote for her in primaries [might have been discouraged],” Brokaw said. “I thought it was unfair and inappropriate.”
The famed NBC newsman added: “The fact that she stayed in the race probably made Senator Obama a better candidate.” Brokaw concluded: “I understand why there was unhappiness.”
The Shorenstein Center lunch also addressed issues of sexism, ageism and racism in the current campaign, although with the exception of Gwen Ifill there didn’t seem to be any other African-American journalists in the room.
media coverage was not clinton’s downfall. a dysfunctional campaign was the heart of her problem.
http://www.politico.com/relentless/relentless.pdf
a dysfunctional campaign was not the heart of Hillary’s problem, outright voter fraud on behalf of Obama was the problem:
http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/video/index.htm
Sure Bot. Every election Obama was in, he not only kicked the person off the ballot and ruined their career, but he used this same line each time. “they ran a bad campaign”.
How does it feel to be backing a crook and a man with not integrity or ethics who’s cheif aim is to get to the top at the expense of everyone? Empty promises is what you are going to get. How’s That FISA vote doing?
No candidate is prepared for having their votes thrown in the trashed and the system gamed like Obama camp did. What do you have to say now?
Thinker-
I agree.
You can add these links which further support your staetment. The fraud went on at all levels…
View the video’s released on August 9th 2008 by the Sam J Ervin Jr, former chairman of Watergate commission, library and museum in Morgantown NC. According to producers, the DNC (with the support of the MSM) has perpetuated a crime and fraud against the American voters by claiming Obama as the presumptive nominee.

http://www.lynettelong.com/caucusfraud/
This election fraud burns my arse. Payback is a beetch.
For the sake of argument, even if we grant your claims about HRC’s “bad campaign”, she still managed to win the popular vote, almost all of the primary states, and the Dem blue states! She’s more respected and loved than ever—and Bambi . . . well . . . he’s losing his manufactured mojo by the minute!
Oh, I love that! Manufactured mojo! I’ll remember that one!
McCain ‘08 - Hillary ‘12!!!
Know you know what some Hillary supporters felt like at caucuses…
…and let’s not forget what Patty Solis Doyle did for her campaign. She’s now the political operative and senior adviser to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama. hmmm… how convenient for her… after she help to sink HRC’s campaign before Hillary fired her.
Yeah right, bot. And whaddya gonna say November 5 when barky’s DOWNFALL is plastered on the front page of every newspaper in the world? When all the world is LAUGHING AT HIM.
Okay - I’ll give you a hint: BARKY IS HIS OWN DOWNFALL - due to lack of character, lack of principles, lack of knowledge, lack of wisdom, lack of soul, lack of experience, lack of qualifications, lack of candor, lack of honesty, lack of decency, lack of compassion, lack of resume, lack of humility, lack of humanity - and, when he needed it most, lack of teleprompter…
if he loses — IF — it’ll probably be because the republican slime machine once again outperforms the dems’.
If you can’t read, bot, have your mommy read it to you - the reasons he will lose have already been listed above. And the only SLIME here is you.
Read “He ran a poor campaign,” right? Oh that’s right, his highhorseness never misperforms. We were not worthy, right? We did not save him, right? PLEASE. I am so over him that I want to scream. I am even willing to rethink my anti Kay Bailey Hutchinson position not to have to hear him or see him after November 5th EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!
You need to go to a dictionary and look up the words “personal” and “responsibility.” This is actually a way of dealing with the world, not always whining that it was someone else’s fault. BS had every chance to work, do good, hang out with nice people, he didn’t. He made his own slime, he slimed himself, it will be the fault of the Obama slime machine, not the Repubs who point out that the emperor is covered with slime.
If the dems are “outperformed”, does that mean a “dysfunctional campaign was the heart of their problem”?
Dumbass
I beg to differ. NO ONE could possibly out SLIME Obama. When it comes to slime, he is THE ONE.
and what is the problem with Barry’s?
with his campaign? overall, not much. a few blips along the way but nothing insurmountable.
smh
I guess if voter fraud is what you call a blip.
http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/video/index.htm
I’ll tell you what the problem is…Barry projecting all his slimyness onto his rival as fact. Like on the phone banking calls the voters told me all the lies that Barry told them about Hillary. Most of the lies are too harsh to repeat. But I tell you. These lies he put off onto Hillary is what he himself is guilty of.
May the hand of God be swift in taking down Barry Hussein Obama.
“The coverage was loaded against her,” he [Brokaw] said.”
Yes it was, and the media handily ran with BO’s smear campaign and attacks on Clinton’s character. Those were good times for The Hopey-Changey Fraud.
Ah but the chickens…they’re fast coming home to roost.
Wrong, wrong, wrong…in my opinion. She was damned by the media not matter what she did. And I watched the debates too.
Yeah - Hillary lost because she didn’t round up students in universities in red states and bus them to attend caucuses and vote for her without even knowing her positions on the issues.
The FIX was in for Obama from Dean, Brazile, and the rest of the DNC. The rules called for Michiganistan and Florida to lose half their votes, Dean took it all instead, they knew Hillary would win big in both states, The DNC was astounded by how many DEMS showed up to vote in a Primary that didn’t count. READ THIS: “WHY AMERICANS HATE DEMOCRATS” How To Tap Into The Obama Factor, by DONNA BRAZILE, Nov. 5, 2004 http://www.slate.com/id/2109328
Agree. More of a dysfunctional Democratic party bias actually caused her to not get the nomination.
Your first election? The media trashed Hillary day in and day out. She pulled her campaign together and won the biggest states and won the popular vote and was winning til the end when the DNC and RBC stole her delegates and gave them to Obambi, but that is all too complicated for the “youth” to comprehend. So just keep telling yourself it was the campaign.
Funny how it sometimes takes a humorist to get at the truth:
And after all that, she loses the nomination to a guy who has roughly the same amount of executive governmental experience as Hannah Montana.
But he knows how to use a blackberry- guess that makes him a change agent.
Bleck- the kids of today are wussies compared to us old hippies. There won’t be any big demonstrations in Denver- the kids comfort levels won’t allow it.
Too many spineless protesters.
and too damn few of those. a thousand? that’s their idea of ‘recreate68′? pathetic…
Hah…from “bwana’s” tone in earlier comments, methinks he/she has no idea what the Recreate68 is all about.
Whiny barackbabies.
Apparently “68″ was the number, not the year.
Perhaps 68 is the number of states … up’ed from 57.
Maybe that’s after inflation? hahahahahahaha
Too soft and fat–and poorly conditioned, which is probably not a good mix in the mile high city.
All that time in the basement, hunched over a keyboard, getting no excercise, unless they are lucky and have a Wii with all the fixings!
They’ve never understood the concept of “Go outside and play.” They probably get anxiety attacks if they go too long without a ceiling over their heads.
Agreed, roseeriter. Besides, all the “old hippies” I know–and I’m one of ‘em–are now PUMAs.
And Uppity, you’re waaaay off the mark with all your screeds against Obama’s alleged Leftiness. If he’s a Socialist I’m a Hotentot.
The man’s a Republican/Coporatist Trojan horse, and more and more people are starting to see that (esp. with his choice of Joe Biden, D-MBNA, as vp).
As another poster said not too long ago, this election is now a “heads I win, tails you lose” for the Right.
LandOLincoln–you are soooo right! Obama is a hack for the Right–as a neo-liberal he’s the flip side of the neo-con fascist coin!
Obama is a fascist—a corporatist shill!
Biden is being linked to Rezko- I posted a link from abc.news down below.
It is all about the $$…
Thanks, Trixta. I’ve been sounding the alarm on Obama for months now, ever since I looked into his Chicago history and realized who he really was.
It’s v. gratifying to me that more and more people are coming to the same conclusion I did so long ago.
There’s only one party now, the corporatist/big money/Wall Street boys.
The rest of us are PUMAs, or will be. We’re the real Americans now, and I’m very proud of us.
Let me see if I get this straight: Recreate 68 had the opportunity to make comments about MSM, the war, or whatever else is on their minds, and they did nothing but spew inarticulate diatribe? What a waste. I, too, am angry at MSM…but I would not have wasted that opportunity. My mother, a part of the 60s generation, would be disappointed in her peers. The younger ones? They just sounded ill-prepared and wandered aimlessly.
Nothing to see here.
Does anyone know the real story of “recreate 68″? When I checked out their web site earlier in the year, all indications were that they were determined to derail any Clinton support in Denver and would create some rage if Obama were somehow not to get the nomination. Has that changed?
You’re right.
I remember ready about that too — I don’t think anything has changed really.
Other than them trying to find a new point to protest about since it seems that Hillary isn’t much of a threat at the moment.
Personally I wish Hillary was/is and will be a SERIOUS THREAT…
noticed that some brought their kids!!! WTF? Who brings their kids to these things? Sorry, officer, you can’t arrest me ’cause I have to take my daughter home.
And all they can come up with is “Fox is a corporate Whore?” go home already.
That struck me, too. If you want to make an ass out of yourself that is one thing, but leave that poor kid at home. I am so glad these are Obama supporters, it makes my decision to vote for McCain make so much sense.
Geesh–I noticed that also. A man with a very small child in his arms–what the hell was he thinking????
yep, in another thread I posted the following this morning. As I was waiting for Uppity to weigh in.
UPPITY could teach their little faux-protesting asses a few things about resistance! Go woman go.
here’s my earlier post:
The democratic party that I knew is still there. It is just temporarily hijacked by some left wing wankers that are going to burn themselves out on their own hopium hype. They will be shown to be the embarrassment they really are and the truth will come out - it always does.
For more proof just take a look at Denver protesters, if you can stomach it. They don’t even know what the hell they are protesting about and aren’t the least bit organized. Rocky Mountain News site is chuck full of the rubbish of this fiasco.
The videos of the Recreate ‘68 children and adults who should know better are very telling.
They might not have ENOUGH cages when all is said and done. What chaos like this does is counter-productive and the party will not survive and a new party (one of centrist sanity) will re-form.
(I was very involved in organized peaceful protest efforts in the past and all I could think watching this mess was “WE were NOT this stupid.” But I digress.)
They are not making their point, if they even know what their point is, and they aren’t articulating any real change or even issue as far as I can tell. They seem to me to be way too angry and when they do get rounded up, and that has already started, they will be calling their parents to foot their bail.
some quotes from the protesters:
“what are you protesting?” — “Everything.”
“F#ck Fox news” and “Fox is slander” “F$ck corporate media” “Whose streets? Our streets”
“Impeach Bush” “this is a police state”
“up, up with anarchy, down, down with the DNC”
“End the occupation of Puerto Rico and Hawaii”
“riot for peace” “ we are pro-protesting”
What exactly are they saying? Who knows? The one thing coming through loud and clear, the left-wingers are just as foolish as the right-wingers. And this year the DNC is looking more and more in cahoots with some mighty rabid factions.
There will be change all right. Change to revolt against this revolting spectacle of confusion.
What ARE they saying? Is this the change they are hoping for? Seems they are as arrogant as ob.
Good God.
Well said and good use of the word “wankers”!!!
There were children in that crowd. People are going to notice.
I hope fox airs that consistently. They will do more damage to barky.
keep up the tactics, thugs. And you’d better not hurt anyone.
I became physically shaken when I saw this video today…I just wanted to jump in there and grab those kids out of that mess. It’s shameful people would behave with pushing, shoving and cursing with children in their hands. I believe in one’s right to protest, but there are better ways than this to get your message out.
A stolen election is what this is.
I can’t trust the government anymore.
Clinton said part of her job at the convention will be letting those delegates know “that however they decide to vote, we will all be united behind Senator Obama.”
“There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that this is Barack Obama’s convention,” she said, adding that it is only natural for there to be some lingering issues to resolve after a tough primary.
“It would have been the same way if I had won and Barack was here supporting the unity of the party,” she said. “This was a hard-fought campaign and there was a lot of intensity and passion associated with it, in part because of the historic nature of our two candidacies.”
Clinton gives a prime-time convention speech Tuesday night, and the following day will gather her delegates together and publicly release them and urge them to support Obama.
Yeah - seems like they only know how to curse - dumbing down of the educational system and too many stupid video games - this is the future of this country - makes me kinda glad I’m old and I won’t be around forever to see the mess……………..
F*CK FOX NEWS F*CK FOX NEWS! Now, where’s the closest Starbucks that exploits third world labor and where can I get WiFi??
Succinctly summed up!!
LOL…right on.
LOL, well said.
Even Democrats admit there is bias in the media, especially when it goes against the candidate they were supporting.
The Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell gave members of the main stream media a tongue lashing, especially those at MSNBC. Rendell’s comments came during what were supposed to be closing remarks at the Shorenstein Center-sponsored panel discussion with the three anchors of the Sunday news shows, NBC’s Tom Brokaw, ABC’s George Stephanopoulous and CBS’s Bob Schieffer.
Rendell called the coverage of Barack Obama “embarrassing,” and accused MSNBC of being “the official network of the Obama campaign.” Let us remind everyone that Ed Rendell is a Democrat. This was the last thing that the Democratic organizers wanted prior to the convention was the Obamamessiah media bias can of worms being opened.
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell was supposed to give “closing remarks” during this afternoon’s Shorenstein Center-sponsored panel discussion with all three Sunday show moderators — NBC’s Tom Brokaw, ABC’s George Stephanopoulous and CBS’s Bob Schieffer — but instead, he opened up a can of worms about bias in 2008 election coverage
“Ladies and gentleman, the coverage of Barack Obama was embarrassing,” said Rendell, in the ballroom at Denver’s Brown Palace Hotel. “It was embarrassing.”
All of this occurring the day before the Democratic National Convention begins where the Democratic Party is trying to display “unity”. Good luck to that notion. Rendell, a Hillary Clinton supporter, further went on to say:
“MSNBC was the official network of the Obama campaign,” Rendell said, who called their coverage “absolutely embarrassing.”
Chris Matthews, Rendell said, “loses his impartiality when he talks about the Clintons.”
I think Chris Matthews can’t be impartial to Hillary or Bill because he’s in love! Eveytime I see that hack going on and on about Barack I just want to call in and say “Get a grip on yourself” he acts like a thirteen year old girl with a crush on the lifeguard at the local pool. MSNBC will be soooo lonely in November. No viewers, No Barack…I can’t wait! Why the thought of it just puts a chill right up my leg, do you feel that way, too?
Thank you Ed Rendell.
His support for Hill was straight from his heart.
His comments to USA today disclosing ob’s remarks about only needing the checks and not the donors presence were great.
His HOUND project gave PUMA publicity and was such a faint attempt at countering us.
His recent statement that he will back Hillary at the convention was another indication of his loyalty.
Yes, he will back ob, but we know that he knows that the best candidate is Hillary and he is reluctant to kiss the ring of pope obama.
We haven’t heard the last from Ed Rendell, I’m sure he is still working the crowd in a way that would make any PUMA proud. Go Big Ed.
I second that! Huge thanks to Ed Rendell!!!
A year ago I felt that Fox was biases only to the right wing, but to day , I get fair and balance reporting on FOX unlike MSNBC. the worm has turned, and it is, what is.
!) democrats maybe voting for a republican
2) democrats watching right wing news to get both side of the story
the times are a changing, Scary huh
Don’t be fooled. Faux News still loathes the Clintons. They just hate Obama more. But not for reasons you think. Also, it helps the republicans when you PUMAs make asses of yourselves on national television.
Hmmm, we’re not the ones that are caught on camera committing fraud at caucuses. We’re not the ones calling other Dems ‘bitches, whores and the c-word’, and we’re certainly not the ones who placed Barry Soetoro on a pedestal without vetting the guy. so what’s your point again?
PUMAS are not the ones fighting. PUMAS are participating in civilized ways. This is a convention not a war.
Of course Fox isn’t pro-Clinton, anymore that CNN and MSNBC are pro-Obama.
This is the same media that brought you Bush 2000, Bush 2004 and the Iraq war. Do you really believe they’ve seen the light and are now all about the uber-liberal Obama?
Already Dailykooks are starting to whine about the mainstream media again being unfair to the annointed one. The closer they get to November the worse coverage Obama will get. Everyone could see this coming, well, except the Dailykooks types that circle jerk to Keith Ubermuslim everynight.
Excuse me, sh*%head, those weren’t PUMAs attacking the poor working stiff camera men on TV today. Most of us PUMAs have jobs, and responsibilities and lives to lead.
Celsius:
You really must stop drinking when you post; it will be your undoing.
They hate Obama more? That’s not what I keep reading from the ‘bots and the DNC. They say they had to have Obie because the Republicans hate Hillary too much. You guys need to get your act together.
Yeah, go figure! Fox is actually living up to its motto: Fair & Balanced! Never thought I’d see the day! Politics certainly makes strange bedfellows, as they say.
All I have learned about FOX is that Obama has leveled the playing field when it comes to republicans and democrats: we are all down in the muck of things together, slopping garbage like pigs at a trough. Hopefully something will grow of the sludge once we all get past Obama. FOX has it’s problems but Obama has sure pointed out the problems of CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the MSM.
Oblahblah has taken the neocon low road to its nadir. I guess one cannot argue with success.
Sugar n spice covered this on her blog, and I’m spreading the word…
We have talked about how Obama tries to be everything to everyone, and now Obama is playing the Asian card:
http://www.asianweek.com/2008/08/21/desi-obamas-new-race-cards/
At a time when unity among Asian Americans should be key, Obama differentiated South Asians and Pacific Islanders from the broader group and then told a South Asian crowd, “I am a desi.”
Desi, of course, refers to South Asian immigrants, who were plentiful at the big Fairmont Hotel gathering.
What will he say before a group of Chinese who remain on the fence right up to the convention? Or to Filipino, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese,et al?
Desi? I thought he was an Indonesian.
Probably he is confused as ususl.
Wait, I thought he was black.
John Kerry said he was a black man.
He’d probably send Biden, who would make some crass comments about “oriental” accents, or worse, pull out the childhood taunt “Me Chinese, me make joke, me make peepee in your coke!!”
After all, he’s already stuck his tassled loafer in his mouth with the southwest Asian/Seven Eleven/Dunkin Donuts business!
maybe he’s trying to say he’s Desi Arnaz to appeal to the Cuban voters in Florida.
Who in their right minds would want to recreate ‘68? Damn, I remember 1968. It was the televised lunacy in Chicago that pretty much assured the election of a classic Right Wing Authoritarian president. Somebody apparently missed one of the main lessons of the ’60s.
Not that I’m a big fan of FOX views. I suppose in their deluded little wannabe brains they’ve at least got one thing halfway right…
Yes, I remember it, too, and after seeing two assassinations within an eight week period, and then seeing a convention marked by so much more violence, and remembering it to this day, I also ask who indeed would want to recreate ‘68? The recreate ‘68 web site earlier this year was pro-Obama and anti-Clinton. Ayers, anyone?
