I saw on the news last night a Republican get taken out in a Kerry convention for heckling, and I just see this pic of a Democrat getting what for because she was heckling some sort of republican convention.

He looks like he is enjoying himself way too much...

EDIT -- I think this is a pic of the republican

Still, he'd probably have been arrested at a Bush rally if he'd had a Kerry/Edwards banner. For his own good of course.

What a smart move... intentionally cause a problem but use your child as a sheild and a photo-op.

This is why the GOP will win - they are simple ruthless... this picture is worth more than 1000 articles of arrested Kerry supporters.

Face it kids, the general public won't read an entire article (myself included at times...) - but they will look at the picture and remember it for a long time!

EDIT* syadasti, do you have a link to the original article?

since you don't know what you're talking about, i'll tell you what actually happened on tuesday in denver:

2 separate pro-kerry protesters interrupted the president & were escorted from the venue. my vantage point was right by the exit with clear shot (bad choice of words, i know) of the event from beginning to end.

now, if they were black, that would be a different story. Then they'd tear up their voter registration cards. That's what kerry would have you believe of course:

one black guy's opinion

So you've forgotten about the couple who were arrested 'for their own safety' for wearing anti-bush t-shirts at a republican rally then?

Still, good to see you're still using anecdotal evidence and insults.

No, I like to browse yahoo's most popular photo section - that happened to be there.

good to see you still fail to recognize anecdotal evidence as evidence nonetheless. Say...are you not attempting to cite a past event anecdotally?

and, no, haven't seen their mugs on thesmokinggun.com. Is there some place you'd care to direct me to provide evidence - even if anecdotal - as to their arrest? And if i can predict how you'd define arrest, i've been "arrested" dozens of times, yet still have a sky-hi clearance. Go figure...


oh, & i read your article by mr palast of "journalism & film" and found this interesting:

At the heart of the ethnic purge of voting rights was the creation of a central voter file for Florida placed in the hands of an elected, and therefore partisan, official.

yet, he failed to identify as to which party this official was affiliated. Call me mad, but would it not benefit mr palast to identify the party to which this official was affiliated?

Do you understand the concept of anecdotal evidence?

It's not anecdotal evidence when it's reported in the papers with confirmed sources and Police statements etc and is traceable, there was even a thread about it here. Anecdotal evidence would be if I were to say (as you did) 'when I was at the Republican rally..'. See the difference? Why I pointed it out was because you were using one experience to attempt to deny a confirmed news report.

And the official (Katherine Harris) was... wait for it... Republican! I guess Mr Palast credits his readers with some intelligence. Have you read any of his work before?

Here's a bit more:

-----------------------------------------------

King is not so naïve as to believe vote-count errors are race-neutral. In the presidential election of 2000, 1.9 million ballots cast were never counted by tally machines—“spoiled,” in the language of elections officials. But the spoilage rate has a distinctly “color”: The massive Harvard University Civil Rights Project study released last year found that it was 50% more likely fr a black vote to be “spoiled” than a white vote. In Florida, the U.S. Civil Rights Commission found that a black vote was nearly 10 times as likely as a white vote to be rejected.



Machinery, computerized or otherwise, has made the racial bend of lost votes worse. In our investigations in Florida for the BBC, we found that in 2000 paper ballots read by optical scanners in the county with the highest black population were 25 times as likely to be rejected as those cast in the neighboring majority white county, using the same paper ballots—but a different automated counting system.

Well he does have part of the sign in his hands... so it's probably not him because the republicans keep telling me he would never launch a pro-active attack.

Actually the more I look at this picture the greater it is (for the GOP).

All the "Kerry/Edwards" people are dressed in baseball caps and t-shirts while the "Bush/Cheney" guy is in a dress shirt and tie. The guy in the background has his "K/E" sign upside down. And it appears that the black women is berating a white man who is there with his child.

Could you possibly have a better picture if you were part of the GOP...

you want it on paper? CTRL-P. If i understand you, you're speaking from the point of view "who are you going to believe - me or your own 2 eyes (groucho)".

i can't deny that which i don't know. Easter bunny included.

the Florida election system is quite decentralized and the functionaries in charge of elections in each county had far more control over voting procedures within the county than Ms. Harris possessed. Thus, in the democratic counties that were in dispute, the functionaries were all Democrats. Thus, the finger pointing at Ms. Harris was woefully misdirected. If there was any intentional disenfranchisement of Black voters it was due to partisans for Gore.

Have you read any of his work before?

not on purpose.

Is there some type of pill you have to take to not question this? Seriously, read what you just wrote, and ask yourself if this could actually be possible.

Additionally, um, much of the dispute is regarding Harris's actions before the election when she purposefully and illegally blacklisted a tidy sum of eligible black voters. Even if you disputed the numbers down to a single legal voter, how on Earth can you possibly justify that? For chrissakes, it's reasonable to be happy she was on your team, but have some self-respect and kick her off when it becomes public.

the red pill - no kool-aid, which is what you may have been drinking if you deny the charter/role of the governance of each of the 67 FL counties. If i'm wrong (don't worry, i'm not), you could easily demonstrate that her authority could & was used to override that of the counties in question.

kindly provide the law/ordinance/statute she violated & the results of the impeachment procedings.

if you go to fairvote.org, you'll find they don't help your baseless assertions, and they're rather liberal, calling for (among other crazy ideas), to abolish the electoral college.

You're joking, right? It's called the XV Amendment:
1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

And not being impeached does not mean that the crime wasn't committed. I really hope you're not going to try and argue otherwise, unless you want to contradict pages of Repub bitching about Clinton.

Little girl gets apology from union
Drudge

The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades believes in the fundamental right for civil discourse, freedom of speech and activism to support our candidates and issues.

What happened in Huntington, West Virginia yesterday is an affront to everything we, as a union, pride ourselves to represent. We extend our apologies to the Parlock family, especially Sophia, for the distress one of our overzealous members caused them.

I have personally taken steps to address this issue internally, and will take immediate disciplinary action to the fullest extent allowed under U.S. Department of Labor regulations and the constitution of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades.

It is my hope that this incident reminds all of our members that every last citizen in this country has the right to express his or herself freely. Not one single one of us has the right to tell them otherwise.

Please provide...scratch that...you can't provide that which does not exist.
katherine harris was never convicted, nor indicted, nor charged with any crime. In fact, she was elected to congress almost 2 years ago. And the "scrubbing" as you would probably like to say, was legal. You can try & say it wasn't, but you've yet to demonstrate such.

And not being impeached does not mean that the crime wasn't committed. I really hope you're not going to try and argue otherwise, unless you want to contradict pages of Repub bitching about Clinton.

you knew clinton was impeached for lying to congress, right?

Interesting. Why is his daughter crying, anyways? Maybe she realizes that Daddy's a first class asshole? It's not like she's getting her hair ripped out of her head...

In a related story, there was an anti-war demonstration and a pro-war demonstration at the same time here at Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis on Sept. 11th. Each group was given a designated area on the North and South side respectively. A "rucus" ensued in a scene I'm sure worthy of an SNL skit.
