I see another party here on Resistnet has posted a detail lacking discussion regarding the young woman attempting to approach Rand Paul with a mock award she was going to "present" him at his Louisville appearance. Video's are provided, you get to honestly be the judge of what happened after she's down and being detained. Any rude crude or wishing of ill-harm/death comments directed towards her or anyone working in conjunction to detain her and this discussion will hopefully result in you being warned or banned. This is a friendly warning. Don't be stuck on stupid, watch what your fingers...

On Saturday, September 18th, Glenn Beck and Andrew Breitbart headlined an event entitled “Right Nation 2010,” held just outside of Chicago, Illinois. As you will see in our video report from the scene, when Andrew Breitbart arrived at the Sears Centre, he was met with an angry mob of protesters who were calling for an ‘end to hate’ while also hurling expletives and homophobic slurs toward the targets of their enmity. In the following dramatic video, Breitbart brings the protest to a complete halt by cleverly asking sign holders to do the impossible: explain the placards they were carrying. In...

Dem Congresswoman’s Supporters Participate in ‘Palin-As-Hitler’ Rally Posted By Larry O'Connor On September 17, 2010 @ 1:23 pm In Congress, Midterm Elections, Politics, Tea Party | 108 Comments A video showing protesters outside an Americans For Prosperity event has surfaced on the internet. It shows the protestors with signs depicting Sarah Palin and Glenn beck with Hitler mustaches and the label “Naz-Tea Party” over their pictures. Also depicted as Hitler is GOP candidate Adam Kinzinger running against Rep. Debbie Halvorson (IL-D) in the 11th District in Illinois. As protests go, it’s a bit limp and poorly attended, but the offensive...

"An activist who believes he was improperly included on a state terror threat list said this morning he is preparing a federal lawsuit. ...." Governor "Rendell said he is "deeply embarrassed" by the disclosure that state Homeland Security officials included information about protesters on what was supposed to be a list of possible terrorist threats."

Protesters outside Major League Baseball headquarters in Manhattan against AZ SB-1070. Must be affraid of Sheriff Joe rounding them up.

When activists (who are not necessarily students) were able to delay construction of a UC Berkeley sports center by living in trees for 21 months, there was no review of what went wrong. When protesters with torches vandalized UC Chancellor Robert Birgeneau's home, there was no review. But when UC police arrested 46 people demonstrating against higher-education cuts by occupying Wheeler Hall on Nov. 20, there were complaints that police over-reacted. And so - with authorities, not anarchists in the sights - a review was born. Last week, UC Berkeley released the 128-page report. In academic fashion, it notes two...

The Bloomington police department created a "pseudo-activist group" to spy on would-be protesters of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, according to a court document filed by protesters' defense attorneys. "Our intel unit made up a (protest) group, gave it an appropriately provocative name and got to work," one of the Bloomington police officers wrote in "CopBook," a 2009 memoir. "We ... wrote our anti-capitalist manifesto which was then published on the (protesters') website and other local and national radical websites," wrote Richard Greelis, a now-retired 27-year Bloomington police veteran. Lawyers for Garrett Fitzgerald wrote in a recent motion...

www.LibertyJuice.com While I’ll never be at peace with how the media demonizes the Tea Party movement as “Radical Right Wing Extremists”, I do understand clearly that they feel it to be a major threat to their message and agenda and thus feels the need to publicly brush it off as a handful of crazy racists who are completely irrelevant to the conversation. What baffles me more than the media’s lame portrayal is that I actually know people who freely identify themselves as Conservatives yet have bought into this lie, and therefore refuse to be apart of this movement in anyway....

CHICAGO – Angered by a controversial Arizona immigration law, tens of thousands of protesters — including 50,000 alone in Los Angeles — rallied in cities nationwide demanding President Barack Obama tackle immigration reform immediately. "I want to thank the governor of Arizona because she's awakened a sleeping giant," said labor organizer John Delgado who attended a rally in New York where authorities estimated 6,500 gathered. From Los Angeles to Washington D.C., activists, families, students and even politicians marched, practiced civil disobedience and "came out" about their citizenship status in the name of rights for immigrants, including the estimated 12 million...

Nadia Valentine spent her 15th birthday Sunday at the intersection of S.W. 12th and Gage waving American flags in protest of Pastor Fred Phelps Sr.'s Westboro Baptist Church. Valentine, of LaSalle, Ill., was part of a group of Illinois residents organized by veteran Jerry Bacidore who came to Topeka on Sunday to attend a noon service at Westboro Baptist Church. "It's always been a matter of what is right and wrong," the teen said. "It is important to do something you believe in. I think it's definitely the best birthday ever." Laura Cordell, of Peoria, Ill., said the group notified...

The French Quarter Fracas: Jindal Speaks, Says Nothing (Updated, 10:55 p.m) Posted on April 19th, 2010 by macaoidh UPDATE, 10:55 p.m.: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Allee Bautsch’s boss, gave WWL-TV in New Orleans a no-comment comment this evening… Gov.

President Obama’s announcement regarding U.S. military strategy in Afghanistan – after three months of indecision – brought partisan hypocrisy into sharp focus. He owed his election to a cult of personality and the promise of change, but his aura lost much of its luster as the country found itself still mired in economic crisis and embroiled in two wars after his first year in office. Polls show that the independent voters who were essential to his victory are not likely to support him again because the reality did not reinforce the promise. The same introspection cannot be found among his...

Michele Bachmann and the Republicans’ “House Call” that drew thousands had the effect that I was expecting; Obama is planning on going to Walter Reed to avoid protesters on Friday, and then twist some arms and create some tingles on Saturday, Chicago style, before the House vote that will establish 118 new government agencies to take away what is left of our freedom. He is probably expecting the protesters to be gone by Saturday’s vote. Now why would the Tea Party Patriots do that? Good luck with that Mr. pResident. If you do get this POS bill passed, 2010 is...

After hearing from an angry parent, I reached out to "Queen Sister," a colorful activist who has been at the forefront of rallies to stop the violence near Fenger High School. It's not surprising that Queen Sister's mailbox is full. Last time I saw her, she was outside Fenger yelling through a bullhorn. Since the fatal beating of Derrion Albert -- a tragedy that was captured on video -- activists like Queen Sister have been in great demand. And since U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan (US Dept of Ed & Chicago Dept of Education) promised millions of dollars to quell...

Free People Need No Leader Throughout the summer’s town halls and protests, a passing question has been raised again and again by the media and their consorts: who is this movement’s “leader?” The assumption behind the question reveals something interesting about the questioners’ perspective. To ask this question, the questioner must believe that average people require a “leader” to tell them what they do and don’t want, what they must or mustn’t do and where they must or mustn’t do it. While it’s certainly true that we who resist federal intrusion into our every action must have representatives, free people...

In this blog post, the author, who says he/she is the child of a Behesht Zahra cemetery worker, writes about reports of the secret burials of many victims of Iran's postelection violence: I am a student and my mother is an employee at the cemetery. Our financial situation isn’t good and all of us are loyal supporters of [Iranian President Mahmud] Ahmadinejad. (You may judge this as you wish!) Even though I am aware that he has won the presidency through a fraudulent election, it is because of Ahmadinejad's government that cemetery employees can own a house after so many...

On Wednesday, August 12, a man holding a sign that said “Death to Obama” at a town hall meeting in Maryland was detained and turned over to the Secret Service for questioning, which is pursuing an investigation into charging him with threatening the president. As well they should. I fully and absolutely agree with this arrest, since anyone who threatens the president is breaking the law and should be prosecuted. It doesn’t matter that Obama was not at the meeting nor that the man was unarmed: the threat all on its own is a federal crime, according to the United...

Despite the repugnant abuses inflicted on guards by the terrorist detainees at GITMO, that facility must remain open. Irrespective of critics, who are angered over the Ritz-Carlton treatment accorded to some of the world's most loathsome terrorists who must be confined in that facility. Ritz-Carlton treatment? You bet! Scores of terrorist complicit detainees who were ordered released from GITMO have returned to their Islamist jihad against the West. Unlike detainees at GITMO confined in that facility for attacking U.S./Coalition forces in Afghanistan, or engaging in other terror activity, -- the detainees in seven secret Iranian political prisons are in real...

Report Doggett meetup Rundberg 8/8/09 Bill and I got there about 10:30 an hour before. There were about 20 people lined up on the sidewalk holding pro-public option signs. I had my personal poll and another one with Rush's questions about the bill. Picked the wrong guy to talk to, he kinda got huffy about the Dump Doggett card and when he saw the bill(HR 3200) said “oh you are one of those”……I guess “those” means someone who reads the bill and wants to discuss the bill. We moved on. Basil was lost so talked her to the place and...

I hope I can do this, and I hope our Mods will give me a little latitude with this request if it is too far out of line. I tried and tried to find the right, and some really good pictures I would like to have for an article. I hope some of you can help. It is amazing how all the "bad" pictures for liberal protestors and unruly Obama mobs/supporters are being removed from many of the search engines. I need some of them for my article. So I hope some of you have them and can forward me...
