What would we do if CSPAN covered protest at a Dem convention?

[59millionmorons]

We would be pissed. That is what makes the broadcasting of this so great. Republicans have got to be pissed. Hell even CNN and MSNBC are giving it some coverage. This is not what the GOP wanted.

1. Why would C-Span cover five drunks in a "Free Speech" cage?

They split for home after the first day

2. You know what I mean

If this kind of protest happened at a Democrat convention and they were showing it on CSPAN we would be mad.

[MrScorpio]

6. I we supported an administration that had millions of people

protesting against it, I think that it might be a sign that we were in the wrong place.

I'd rather be with the people

10. the GOP does not protest, as a rule

they only want to tell women what they can do with their bodies, degrade gays and stuff like that.

If the GOPs had a protest like this in Boston, I would wanna know what their issues were. I would not be pissed at CSpan.

8. I think demdem is doing what Democrats do..being empathetic?

What he/she is saying is he/she believes the repukes are pissed, cause he/she would feel that way if the repukes could ever garner between 250,000 to 500,000 people to demonstrate against the Democrats. :shrug: :hi:

However, demdem, empathy is wasted on them, as they have different brain patterns!!! :hi:

11. empathetic

I am not sure how empathetic I am, but as I sit here watching this laughing my butt off of how this must be pissing them off. I am thinking I would be pissed if they did this to Kerry and so would everyone else on this board. I am rejoicing in there pain.

12. LOL

3. It would be tremendously entertaining

to watch a couple dozen skinhead freepers parade around with their "MORANS" signs.

4. CSPAN is at least there-nothing on Fox that I can see

What is the number of the crowd?

[KharmaTrain]

5. There Weren't 250,000 On The Streets Of Boston

I'm certain tonight we'll see the worst signs and how this was some kinda horde of barbarians storming the gates.

My son and I are watchin' and lovin' it...the diversity...and so many young people out there. This HAS to be very, very bad news to the GOOP. The "unregistereds" that we've been registering are going to make a big, big difference.

I'm almost tempted to join the poster here who thinks this election could be a Kerry landslide.

7. I beg to disagree

The SCLM (so-called liberal media) is giving this lots of airtime because they know it will get the Repugs riled up and out to vote. Keep in mind they won't show anything that will rile up us Democrats to get out and vote.

[spooked]

9. I'd say Democrats are looking just a tad more riled up right now

This is WONDERFUL!! It just confirms what every REAL AMERICAN has been feeling in their heart of hearts for the last 3 years.

[Eric J in MN]

16. Whatever the media's intentions, it also energizes Democrats

to see so many protestors against Bush.

[AnnInLa]

13. Someone go see what they are saying on the freeper board

or if they are ignoring it completely? or all off watching Faux? I just can't check out that board, they are too looney for me.

14. Steve Scully said this morning on C-span that they were there to

cover the protests in Boston. He said they were ready for it but nothing really materialized. He said the streets were empty. And he cuts off liberal callers all the time. And lets the right-wing haters go on and on. Usually. Today he did put a couple of callers in their places. But he is still a right-wing shill like Brian Lamb. His boss.

15. They did cover the protests at the Dem convention. They weren't so much

protests as attention-grabbers aimed at the convention-goers, a way to get messages through to the delegates.
