An alliance of more than 60 labor, peace, student, immigrant rights, gay and lesbian and other groups says it's ready for a 5,000-person march on the first day of the Republican National Convention.
"There will be nothing that will stop us from marching in the streets to demand good jobs, health care, affordable education, equality and peace and to oppose the party of legitimate rape," said Corey Uhl of the local chapter of Students for a Democratic Society.
...........Protesters are expected to come on buses from as far away as New York, Minnesota, Illinois and the state of Washington, organizers say. The crowd could include more than 700 college students. A member of Occupy Wall Street is expected to arrive with three busloads of demonstrators.
Organizers say the march will be peaceful and contend that any trouble is likely to be started by police.
Asked whether the march will try to prevent anyone from, for example, breaking windows or throwing rocks, march leader Jared Hamil said, "If they break the law, well, it's the law. Whatever the law says."
But Hamil declined to criticize groups that might not follow organizers' plans for a peaceful march with a permit from the city.
"I'm not here to say that anything is a problem," he said. That's because the coalition has adopted a brief set of guidelines, "The Tampa Bay Principles," that emphasize respect "for the diversity of tactics" and a commitment to keeping criticisms of other activists internal to the movement.
"If people choose to do a different type of tactic, we ask that they separate (themselves) by time and space," Hamil said. "What we're doing on Aug. 27 is a permitted peaceful march, and whatever other people decide to do will be done in a different place at a different time."....

Democrats Unveil the Weapon of the Future............."What all this amounts to is the baptism of fire of what I have taken to calling the "liberal superstructure." This superstructure is the vast constellation of advocacy groups, think tanks, single-issue outfits, unions, and various other flotsam constructed by the left over the past half-century or so. There are literally thousands of these groups, ranging from the ACLU and the Sierra Club with their hundreds of thousands of members to the local "Friends of the People's Venezuela" outfit which amounts to a retired feminism professor and her six cats. These organizations are ubiquitous, universal, and networked to a fare-thee- well. They are also liberalism's last great hope of controlling politics in the United States.
It's scarcely arguable that, in the political sense, liberalism is on the ropes. Obama spent their last nickel. They have lost the House and will lose the Senate, with little chance of regaining them in the near future. The same is true of the White House once the messiah gets the bum's rush come 2012. Liberalism is on the skids, its programs uniform failures, its ideology barren, its slogans worn out, its long hold on the independents being relentlessly pared down by the Tea Parties.
So what is a political movement to do, particularly one as fanatic and apocalyptic as this one? Well, if you have an alternate system made up of outside organizations not subject to governmental oversight, a system populated with self-selected fanatics and true believers, a system poised and ready to march, you can do what was done in Wisconsin. You can turn the superstructure loose to threaten the public peace, smash things up, abuse the electoral process, create a media spectacle, and pressure the state to do things your way. You can use nonpolitical organizations (in the electoral sense) to get a political result.
All the groups involved in the Wisconsin campaign were superstructure groups. The unions, the very core organizations of the superstructure, without which it's no more than a pack of vegetarians and aging hippies. The media, which serves as its propaganda arm. And the judiciary, which is broadly infiltrated by leftist partisans whose allegiance has been awarded to something other than the law."...........
At least the Hurricane will arrive in time to wash them.

It would seem to me that they are preaching to the choir. Better to take their march to hussen who is ruling the plantation.
Marxist socialists. I’m glad to have enemies like these.
More like being attacked by Hitlers minions
Most likely the convention is going to either be cancelled or very small so these people won’t show up.
Good/ It’s going to be wet and windy. They’ll get a bath and a good scrubbing. They need it.

with a statement like that they are coming to Tampa to riot.

The march in Charlotte is where it will fall apart from organized protest to building burning, looting, chaos. The cost to Charlotte is going to be immense

I see a heavenly intervention here, the Lord is sending a message hint.
I think the RNC needs to relocate, kept simple short and brief.
Hire a cruise ship for a day or so, would provide good security to a large extent.
They just want a free bath in the rain.
Forecast is for a hurricane... or a himmacane.

A cruise ship would be an excellent idea to preclude the OWS crowd.
SDS = Students for a “Democratic” Society...
A communist recruiting group.
That's exactly what I was thinking. So, they're marching in support of Mitt & Paul, right? Look at which party has kept the unemployment rate above 8% (actually much, much higher) for a record 42 straight months! Want jobs people, want to get America back to work? Oust the Marxist {expletive} currently occupying the White House.
Want health care? You've got it. Want affordable health care insurance? Well, job #1 then is to repeal obamacare. Every study that has come out since it "passed" (ie. was rammed through on questionable legal basis) has shown that it will cost more and healthcare will be worse under obamacare. You want to improve healthcare, reduce costs, help us get the government out of it - because lets face it people, when has adding government bureaucracy ever improved something and reduced costs? Ever?
Want equality and peace? Look around at who is really stirring up trouble. Who is out there, firing up tensions between groups based on race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Who is intentionally blowing any and every little issue out of proportion and using it as leverage to divide us? Here's a hint, they call themselves "liberals" and "progressives" - it's just what they do as a tactic to gain power and control, over you!
"legitimate rape" - really people, you want to run with that meme? Why not run with Whoopie's "rape-rape" comment? Or "the private sector is doing fine" or "you didn't build that" or "never let a crisis go to waste" or any one of dozens of idiotic things hussein and his cohorts in crime have said. Everyone, everyone reading this has at some time said something they really wish they could take back. There was an apology for the "legitimate rape" comment - poor choice of words that didn't reflect the actual intent. The other gaffes by so-called "liberals" ??? Those were gaffes because they accidentally let slip through their real intent and it came out. There hasn't been a single apology for any of that {expletive}.
Come on Isaac. You can do it. ;-)
Same sort of clowns who got their butts kicked by a chicken sandwich.
