Other than playing the skin color card, violence is what libs do best.

Is there video of the event available? I watched the Clint chair conversation and found it very humorous.

Not yet. I hope there is.

Saunders yelled, knocking the empty chair off of the stage.

would this be considered assault on the president? should the secret service investigate?

[doc1019]

Many on the left have laughed and made fun of Eastwood’s speech, yet it has gone viral and has evidently bothered everybody from the WH on down. Go Clint ... still got it.

I placed an empty chair in my front lawn today in recognition of his speech.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Typical violent union-RAT. He probably went out afterwards, and murdered somebody’s wife.

[profit_guy]

Was he allowed to move that chair by himself?? Why weren’t two union employees there to do the job?! I think I may file a grievance.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

“Suddenly, the tone changed: Saunders, finishing his speech, began to kick the chair, threw it, and yelled “Dirty Harry, make my day! We’re gonna kick ass in November!” “

That seems to lack, I don’t know, subtlety? Understatement? (Perhaps that’s more of an English thing.) Civility? Humour? Logic? Perhaps all of those things. Don’t quit your day job Mr. Saunders.

[ThunderSleeps]

Ah, when you don't have anything meaningful to say, no logical arguments to stand on... Go for petty personal attacks.

The entire democratic party (aka big government socialists) are an empty chair. They've got nothing left. We tried things their way and it has failed. Wow, socialism fails, again. Who would've thought... (hint for you lib lurkers - who would've thought? Everyone who has ever tried it knows it does not work, cannot work)

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Wow! I just learned something about myself.

I saw Terd Kennedy, back from the grave, yelling on C-SPAN...I flipped him off.

You Talkin at ME ?

Sanity?

[wjcsux]

The Looney Left goes crazy when the truth is brought to them in a such a manner they cannot deny.

[bray]

Looks like the communist convention is in meltdown mode? They have found out they have nowhere left to hide.

Pray for America

Clint Eastwood “skit” was brilliant in so many ways. A silly chair has caused the Dems to go nuts.

[upchuck]

Is that snow on the ground? When was that picture taken?

[windsorknot]

Hey, Mr. Union Thug! Go pick on a chair your own size!

[devolve]

Thursday's event is certain to draw comparisons to 2008, when Obama accepted the Democratic nomination before a capacity crowd at an 84,000-seat stadium in Denver. There was little concern back then over whether Obama would fill the stadium, in part because he was easily attracting tens of thousands of people to his campaign rallies across the country.

This time around, Obama's crowds are far smaller. He drew his biggest audience at his campaign kick-off rally in May, a 14,000-person crowd at Ohio State University. About 13,000 people attended Obama's rally at the University of Colorado in Boulder Sunday. 

The campaign says the size of Obama's events this summer have purposely been kept low. Large rallies are more expensive and security requirements are more intense for a golfing precedent than a candidate. 

Convention organizers in Charlotte may have more control over the crowds than their other big concern: the weather. Heavy evening rains doused Charlotte over the weekend, and thunderstorms are in the forecast for Thursday. 

Officials say the outdoor event will go on rain or shine, except if there is maybe a little blow.
