The Democratic National Convention has descended in to chaos today both inside and outside the Time Warner arena in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Following the debacle earlier today of the ramming through over the loud objections of delegates of pro-God, pro-Israel language to the platform, fire marshalls have locked down the arena leaving a reported thousands of credentialed delegates and reporters stranded outside.

Reporters on Twitter are sending out on scene reports and photographs with commentary such as "mayhem", "fail" and "farce".

"Democratic convention descending into farce. After "booing God" debacle, delegates, and media locked out of the convention by fire marshals" , Nico Hines, Times of London.

"Complete nightmare for the DNC. Thousands of delegates and media stuck outside. Fire marshals have closed the building. #DNCFAIL", Matt Spence, Times of London.

If he farted, it’d be like a circus clown car. 2 midgets and 7 special interest lobbyists would fall out.

It’s a joy and a privilege to be collapsing the viewership of the cable/networks coverage of the communists-at-large convention talent show. The Cowboy/Giants game is a godsend.

AOL/Huff post news reporting that Obama and DNC head tried to add ‘God’ back to the platform today and so they took a voice vote and lost three of them (votes) before ignoring the audience and declaring it passed anyway.

Democrats’ Efforts To Reinsert ‘God’ And ‘Jerusalem’ Into Platform Met With Loud Opposition (VIDEO)

Big night tonight : Sandra Fluke, BJ Clinton and Elizabeth Warren. What more could you ask for?

Too many people for the building.

Well, I guess that is one way to counter the poor attendence reports. Have the fire marshalls come in and close the arena... then say "Oops, the fire marshall says there are too many people!"

It just so happens that the gazillions of excess people prefer not to sit down...
