Reveling in a turnout that began as hundreds and swelled into at least a thousand protesters, Recreate ‘68 members naysayed those who said that the event would go bust with small turnouts and a lack of speakers.
“People seemed to think of us like they think of cockroaches,” Mark Cohen, Recreate ‘68 member, said to the crowd. “They weren’t happy for us to be here. But we’re still here.”
Prior to the march through Denver to the Pepsi Center, Recreate ‘68 hosted a carousel of speakers on the west steps of the Capitol this morning. The list of speakers included the likes of highly respected veteran and American activist Ron Kovic, author of “Born on the Fourth of July,” to infamous and highly controversial figures like Ward Churchill.

Generally, the voices booming out from the Capitol spoke at length against corporations and that electing a Democrat as opposed to a Republican wasn’t going to better represent the American people or end foreign occupation.
“The Convention is being sponsored by AT&T,” said Cindy Sheehan, famed anti-war activist. “Who do you think they represent?”
The rhetorical question, implying that Democrats and Republicans alike operate in the interest of big corporations, was repeated many times throughout the speaking engagements to cheers from the crowd.
The speaking engagements reached their highest and most interesting fervor when African-American Green Party candidates Cynthia McKinney, for president, and Rosa Clemente, for vice president, took the stage.

Pepsi is CIA. Pepsi bootled heroin in SE Asia during the Viet Nam War for shipment out by CIA planes. Richard Nixon was attending a Pepsi meeting in Dallas on the day JFK was shot.
The reason Fox reporters look like CIA and US Military is because THEY ARE CIA and US Military.

Fox News reporters look like CIA and US Military because THEY ARE CIA and US Military.
These Fox News reporters are lucky that they escaped with their cameras and their lives. Hopefully, a time is coming when they will escape with neither.

Christianity IS fascism…it is anti freedom, thus anti-American values. But, the poor boobs who believe it are to be pittied…they’ve lost their minds and are unable to find the thread back to sanity. The bible is full of stories of their mass murdering serial killer god that the followers of this fable just don’t get it…what does it mean if my god is a mass murdering serial killer? (It means he’s the devil). Oh, and you kkkristian fools don’t write and ask me about “where does it say god is a murderer and a serial killer” if you can’t read and understand what you are reading then how can I do anything for you through more ‘reading’. You all are lost and to dim to get it. I wish it wasn’t true, but it is. If I could use a magic wand and make you all well and see what you are doing to yourselves and others I’d do it, but nothing like that exists.

Think of it this way, god does exist but he lets man do what the heck he wants. Ever hear of free will, the founding fathers of America were believers of Jesus , or they were deists. Either way, you can believe whatever you want, or not at all in this nation. That is one of the rights we have as Americans, until idiots from the NWO try t take over. Think about it.
Now lets see, Rome started the catholic faith and changed the day of the sabbath to Sunday For messianic jews, who do believe in Jesus, the time is Saturday. Now, lets look at it another way, we are currently in an time that every culture really believes the end is near. the Myanan callendar ends on dec 21, 2012, guess what it’s celestial in nature.

The weathermen bombers were agent provocetuers infiltrated to discredit peaceful anti-nam protests.
Pres. Clinton pardoned them. Obama has meetings with these folks.
Recreate 68, great place to start for a delta op or CIA or FBI operative that would like to discredit any peaceful anti-war movement.
Turds in punch bowl as AJ says.
Fly in ointment.
Bad apple in the bunch.
