1. If that's true, someone at the DNC needs their face slapped

But I need confirmation because a similar story from yesterday, also from Democracy Now!, turned out not to be true.

2. I agree, it must be proven true.

:hi:

Since the media twists so badly, we need to be careful.

4. See the video at the link.

Not sure who did it, but the police did drag her out. If she were disrupting, she should have been asked to leave, but the video shows the dragging.

3. Well, so much for the First Amendment

If true, no wonder so many of the grass-roots guys don't trust the DNC.

5. So much for Kerry wanting to win the Presidency

If he wins, it will be in spite of the DNC.

6. She makes it her business to be a pain in the ass to the establishment

I love her.

7. Good on Medea.

Would she have been thrown out if she had a banner that said "Support the war in Iraq"?
