Rambunctious Clinton loyalists make anti-war protestors look sober, savvy

The are two kinds of demonstrators rallying outside the Pepsi arena and throughout the Mile High City - but only one can really wreck the Democrats' love-fest.
First, we have the street activists who operate outside mainstream politics and tend to argue for radical positions. Unlike in 1968, the dedicated anti-war liberals come off as sober, savvy, and fixated on long-term goals.
The second group is the collection of rambunctious pro-Hillary Clinton loyalists who are doing their best to create chaos within the convention - and real trouble for party nominee Barack Obama.
The Clinton die-hards seem like political brats determined to throw a tantrum and risk throwing away the White House because their candidate didn't make the national ticket.
A scheduled pro-Clinton march through downtown Denver Tuesday is co-sponsored by a group called PUMA, whose initials stand for "Party Unity My Ass."
This demonstration has no conceivable purpose other than to embarrass and weaken Obama at a critical moment in the campaign. There is no bargain to be struck, no goal that anyone can bestow on the Hillary tantrum-throwers.

" This demonstration has no conceivable purpose other than to embarrass and weaken Obama at a critical moment in the campaign. "
In spite of this, the MSM will lie to us and tell us that Osama Obama got a " Convention Bumb " and a lead over McCain even before the convention starts.

This demonstration has no conceivable purpose other than to embarrass and weaken Obama at a critical moment in the campaign. As to long term goals, clealry they hope to see Obama lose, and lose badly enough that on the next go-round their girl, Hillary, can climb the ladder all the way to the nomination.
They are not as stupid, mindless, or purely emotional as the author of this article tries to make them out to be.
As it is, I am glad to see, at the convention and hopefully on the floor thereof, the culmination of the bitter chaos...Operation Chaos.

True. Although the term "liberal and stupid" is doubly redundant.

This demonstration has no conceivable purpose other than to embarrass and weaken Obama at a critical moment in the campaign.Of course, the old media would have to report it, show pictures every night, and spend a bunch of time speculating about how it would hurt Obama. That's what they would do if Romney supporters were demonstrating outside the R convention.

Do popcorn and beer go together?
What we're witnessing are Hillary supporters actually out-thinking the Obama supporters by rubbing two more brain cells together than the typical Obama supporter- who favors 'emotion' over 'logic'.
Chillary was moving toward the center too soon to capture the radicals in the primary. Like a jockey, she dug her spurs in a little too soon and ran out of steam at the end.
If do-overs were possible, she'd tout National Health Care, An Absolute Gun Ban, 40mph Highway Speed Limit, $50 fine for using an incandescant lightbulb, Ending The Electoral College once and for all, $2500 tax credit to anyone who gets an abortion, $40,000 and a mule to anyone related to a former slave, a used Prius to anyone who trades-in an SUV, clean needles for anyone suffering from head-lice, an autographed picture of Nancy Pelosi and $50 to anyone currently using Natural Gas in their automobile (plus a $5.00 T.Boone Pickins stock gift certificate).
I gotta stop. I'm winded.......
