how many times does it point to the hotel?
ABC News Reporter arrested while investigating the money trail at the DNC
Read the story; look at the pictures - Pelosi's party, etc...
I'm not naive to think that this same crap won't be going down at the RNC NEXT week, either.
I feel like Dan, but I can't help but the believe MANY of the same corporate execs, donor's, lobyists, etc.. are gonna get in there jets and fly to Milwaukee as soon as this is over. No matter what they say or do, all of this is orchestrated to play the population however they want us played.
...and WTF is up with the reporter getting manhandled, ing arrested? Why isn't more being made of that....
The only thing I know for certain, regardless of the outcome of this election, the cats in those planes, the lobbyists, the corporate donors and the pols are all gonna do just fine.
how many times does it point to the hotel?

Those bas s!
Exactly.
RIP
Those bas s!
As long as it doesn't require a fork; it's O.K.
"...but fancy finger food is ok, as long as no one is sitting down"
How much more often does this have to happen before we can about the police state trend we're on, without being labeled kooks?A police official later told lawyers for ABC News that Eslocker is being charged with trespass, interference, and failure to follow a lawful order. He also said the arrest followed a signed complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel.
Why is it ok for photographers to be arrested for taking pictures of the outside of buildings?
It's not the best WE can produce. The BEST are in business where they don't rely on tricking people to pad their pockets.
Politics is a joke. Pelosi, Reed, Dean...that's the best of the dems? Poor America
We'll be called "kooks" right up until the moment the label changes to "criminal", "subversive" or "traitor".
or terrorist suspect.
But perhaps we're both "morally confused" people who are guilty of pre-9/11 thinking.
Fair enough - this cuts across party lines.
Have some shrimp, you terrorist kooks.
I wonder if they could get away with serving food using sporks, since they are technically neither fork or spoon.
Oh, snap! I forgot about chopsticks too!
Damned loopholes!! If they could just close those, everything would be O.K.!

"Politics is (should be 'are' btw) a joke."
Then you list Democrats who just won a majority in the HoR less than 2 years ago with no mention of the Republican majority in both Houses and the White House, not including the 2 (or 3?) Supreme Court Justices appointed by said Republican majority of the previous 6 years.
Oh, and our economy is in the tank, we're at war with a country who had nothing to do with terrorism and your next Soldier President is talking about Russia.
Are you employed by the military? Because otherwise, youre just another ignorant wad with nothing more to add then "Im a Republican, we rule!".
"Politics is a joke." I guess the joke is on the Republicans, because they keep on winning.
Speaking of a Police State - National Review
Barack Obama, Aspiring Commissar
By the Editors
While the Obama coronation proceeds apace in Denver, it is in Chicago that Americans are getting a disturbing demonstration of his thuggish methods of stifling criticism. Stanley Kurtz, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, is a Harvard-educated social anthropologist and frequent contributor to National Review, among other publications. He is widely respected for his meticulous research and measured commentary. For months, he has been doing the job the mainstream media refuses to do: examining the background and public record of Barack Obama, the first-term senator Democrats are about to make their nominee for president despite the shallowness of his experience and achievement. Kurtz has written extensively, and with characteristic attention to factual detail, about Obama’s early career as a “community organizer,” his cultivation of benefactors in the most radical cauldrons of Chicago politics, his long-time pastor’s immersion in Black Liberation Theology, his ties to anti-American zealots, and the years in the Illinois state legislature this self-styled agent of change spent practicing the by-the-numbers left-wing politics of redistribution and race-consciousness, remaining soft on crime and extreme on abortion.This has led Kurtz, naturally, to scrutinize the relationship between Obama and one of his early political sponsors, William Ayers. Ayers, as we have previously detailed, is a confessed terrorist who, having escaped prosecution due to surveillance violations that came to light during his decade on the lam after a bombing spree, landed an influential professorship in education at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). As he has made clear several times before and after helping to launch Obama’s political career, Ayers remains defiantly proud of bombing the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol, and other targets. He expresses regret only that he didn’t do more. Far from abandoning his radical politics, he has simply changed methods: the classroom, rather than the detonator, is now his instrument for campaigning against an America he portrays as racist and imperialist.Obama supporters risibly complain that shining a light on the Obama/Ayers relationship is a “smear” and smacks of “guilt by association.” A presidential candidate’s choice to associate himself with an unrepentant terrorist would be highly relevant in any event — does anyone think the Obamedia would keep mum if John McCain had a long-standing relationship with David Duke or an abortion-clinic bomber? But we are talking about more than a mere “association.” Bluntly, Obama has lied about his relationship with Ayers, whom he now dismisses as “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.” Ayers and Obama have made joint appearances together; they have argued together for “reforms” of the criminal justice system to make it more criminal-friendly; Obama gushed with praise for Ayers’ 1997 polemical book on the Chicago courts; and they sat together for three years on the board of the Woods Fund, a left-wing enterprise that distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to their ideological allies. Most significant, they worked closely together on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC).The CAC was a major education reform project, proposed by Ayers, which was underwritten by a $49.2 million grant from the Annenberg Foundation, complemented by another $100 million in private and public funding. The project ran for about five years, beginning in 1995. As the liberal researcher Steve Diamond has recounted, Ayers ran its operational arm, the “Chicago School Reform Collaborative.” Obama, then a 33-year-old, third-year associate at a small law firm, having no executive experience, was brought in to chair the board of directors, which oversaw all “fiscal matters.”
By the time the CAC’s operations were wound down in 2001 it had doled out more than $100 million in grants but had failed to achieve any improvement in the Chicago schools. What little is known about the grants Obama oversaw is troubling. As Diamond relates, one of the first CAC awards in 1995 was $175,000 for the “Small Schools Workshop,” which had been founded by Ayers and was then headed by Mike Klonsky. It was only the beginning of the CAC’s generous funding of Klonsky — a committed Maoist who had been an Ayers comrade in the radical Students for a Democratic Society (the forerunner of Ayers’ Weatherman terrorist organization), and who hosted a “social justice” blog on the Obama campaign website until his writings were hastily purged in June after Diamond called attention to them. The CAC records, said to comprise 70 linear feet of files, have long been maintained at the library of the UIC, the public university where Ayers teaches. This summer, Kurtz made an appointment to review them and, after being assured access, was blocked from seeing them by library administrators, who stammered about needing permission from the “donor” — whom they declined to identify. Kurtz energetically raised public awareness to the stonewalling, and the library finally relented this week. That is, as Barack Obama prepares to accept the Democrats’ nomination tonight, the records of his only significant executive experience just became available for review on Tuesday.Kurtz began his review, and on Wednesday was invited on Milt Rosenberg’s radio program to discuss it. Rosenberg is a Chicago ins ution. His program, “Extension 720,” has aired for more than 30 years — a civil forum where knowledgeable guests from across the political spectrum discuss important issues in revealing two-hour interviews. What happened Wednesday night was stunning, as even the normally unflappable Rosenberg observed.The Obama campaign — which has emissaries appearing everywhere — declined Rosenberg’s invitation to have a representative appear on the program and respond to Kurtz’s factual assertions. The campaign did, however, issue an “Obama Action Wire” that encouraged supporters to contact the program (telephone information was provided) and use scripted “talking points” to disrupt Kurtz’s appearance, which it deemed “unacceptable.” As the Politico’s Ben Smith reported, the campaign also urged supporters to demand that Rosenberg scrap the appearance of Kurtz, whom the campaign libeled as a “smear-merchant” and a “slimy character assassin.” The rant was reminiscent of the work of the left-wing media “watch-dog” Media Matters for America.Other than denigrating Kurtz for being conservative, Obama’s operatives have provided no response to the substance of his claims. In their only pretense of engaging him, they accuse him of telling “a flat out lie” that Ayers recruited Obama for the CAC. Though it is a reasonable inference that Ayers recruited Obama, the careful Kurtz has stopped short of making it — observing only that Obama offers no explanation of how he was recruited if not through Ayers, his friend and the CAC’s driving force.The station, WGN, has made a stream of the broadcast available online, here, and it has to be heard to be believed. Obama’s robotic legions dutifully jammed the station’s phone lines and inundated the program with emails, attacking Kurtz personally. Pressed by Rosenberg to specify what inaccuracies Kurtz was guilty of, caller after caller demurred, mulishly railing that “we just want it to stop,” and that criticism of Obama was “just not what we want to hear as Americans.” Remarkably, as Obama sympathizers raced through their script, they echoed the campaign’s insistence that it was Rosenberg who was “lowering the standards of political discourse” by having Kurtz on, rather than the campaign by shouting him down.Kurtz has obviously hit a nerve. It is the same nerve hit by the American Issues Project, whose television ad calling for examination of the Obama/Ayers relationship has prompted the Obama campaign to demand that the Justice Department begin a criminal investigation. Obama fancies himself as “post-partisan.” He is that only in the sense that he apparently brooks no criticism. This episode could be an alarming preview of what life will be like for the media should the party of the Fairness Doctrine gain unified control of the federal government next year.
i loved kurtz in apocalypse now.
"For months, he has been doing the job the mainstream media refuses to do: examining the background and public record of Barack Obama,"
will he be doing the same hit job on McChildish?
who's paying Kurtz to do this research?
and why does MSM not trash Mc off for all the gaffs and mistakes he has made, so embarrassing that this staff had to muzzle him, and make him robotically parrot talking points?
Kurtz can go after whoever he wants...why does it matter who's funding him? Facts is facts.
I've actually wondered why more has not been made of the McCain Shia/Sunni/Iran gaffe(s). Should raise more questions, IMO, than being confused about the number of houses he owns. Maybe the media doesn't understand (or care about) Shia/Sunni/Iran etc...so they leave it alone?
Our economy is in the tank ahahahhahahahahaha
Keep spewing that bull as others continue to win.
I'm an ignorant ward? hahaha. The entire liberal belief system atm is a complete farce with no common sense as its base. If only reps had anyone worth a they could ravage dems in less than an hour.
Anyone with an understanding of this can easily hear how they talk down to you guys as if you are all children.
