perhaps not, but does the convention need another softmoney fundraiser by foreign special interests using the memory of Mr. Cash either?LIPH wrote:As if NYC won't be hard enough to get around next week, another demonstration by a fringe group nobody ever heard of, making it even harder for people to get to work. Just what we DON'T need.

I would say that the folks holding the fundraiser are equally to blame for this...LIPH wrote:You can choose not to go to a fundraiser. You can't choose not to be inconvenienced by a demonstration if it's in the neighborhood where you live or work.

Yeah, I found that a little odd, too.....land_shark3 wrote:I just find it funny that there is an event hosted by Sothebys (an auction house for the affluent) to celebrate a country star who broke all the rules and sang about the hard times on the farm.![]()
I guess they are trying to get a portion of the estate.

the limits on demonstration areas don't have anything to do with politics. it's a security measure. same kind of limits were put in place for the Democratic Convention in Boston.RinglingRingling wrote:and I am amazed that they are going to be allowed to demonstrate at all; the crackdown on authorized "free-speech areas" toward the extreme margins so Shrub doesn't have to lose his Potemkin effect is getting ridiculous.
Right... "security measure" is a euphemism for it.SchoolGirlHeart wrote:the limits on demonstration areas don't have anything to do with politics. it's a security measure. same kind of limits were put in place for the Democratic Convention in Boston.RinglingRingling wrote:and I am amazed that they are going to be allowed to demonstrate at all; the crackdown on authorized "free-speech areas" toward the extreme margins so Shrub doesn't have to lose his Potemkin effect is getting ridiculous.
people who go to these demonstrations generally dont have jobs so they dont really know about getting to work and stuff like that.LIPH wrote:As if NYC won't be hard enough to get around next week, another demonstration by a fringe group nobody ever heard of, making it even harder for people to get to work.

And just how did you arrive at that bit of misinformation? I know plenty of people that protest (including myself) that are gainfully employed individuals. Protesting is not unique to just Democrats either unless you don't refer to abortion clinic bombings as a form of protest.tommcat327 wrote:people who go to these demonstrations generally dont have jobs so they dont really know about getting to work and stuff like that.LIPH wrote:As if NYC won't be hard enough to get around next week, another demonstration by a fringe group nobody ever heard of, making it even harder for people to get to work.

NYC is expecting more than 250,000 people to be here participating in demonstrations during the Republican convention. Should they be allowed to demonstrate whenever, wherever and in whatever way they choose without regard to public safety? Before you answer think how you'd feel if 250,000 people were headed to your hometown intent on doing their best to disrupt as many peoples' lives as they could for 4 days. Would you still think "security measure" is a euphemism?RinglingRingling wrote:Right...
