NEW YORK - Out on the street with protesters, there are environmentalists, pacifists, even some capitalists - selling anti-Bush T-shirts, of course.
But to Republicans here, the great unwashed sweating in and blocking the streets, are defined in one word: Democrats.
``Frankly it reminds me of why I left the Democratic Party,'' said former Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer. ``I used to be a Democrat and I turned instead to Ronald Reagan's upbeat optimism instead of the negativity and the liberalism and the protest movement of the Democratic Party. It wasn't my cup of tea.''
Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie has continuously referred to the protesters as Democrats, saying if they are anti-Bush they must be Democrats.
Of course, Democrats deny they're behind the protests or rallies.
``Republicans for political reasons, for political tactics, were going to try and foist that storyline to the press and to the public, but that dog just won't hunt,'' said Democratic National Committee spokesman Jano Cabrera.
``We don't have any problem with anyone exercising their constitutional right. But we do not want these protesters to serve as a disruption to the Republican National Convention,'' Cabrera said.
The suggestion doesn't exactly sit well with protesters either, many of whom protested John Kerry's convention in Boston, back independent Ralph Nader or just hate all of the above.
I work in midtown Manhattan & I have seen just about every group (didn't ANYONE watch their parade on television?):
Anti-war protesters - wearing Kerry buttons
Abortionists/Feminists - wearing Kerry buttons
Tree-huggers - wearing Kerry buttons
Animal-rights liberators - wearing Kerry buttons
Gay-Bi-Trans-whatever (who want to get "married") - wearing Kerry buttons
Global-Debt activists - wearing Kerry buttons
Free Abu-Jamal (the cop killer) - wearing Kerry buttons
Global-Warming activists - wearing Kerry buttons
ACT-UP/AIDS protesters - wearing Kerry buttons
Labor Unions - wearing Kerry buttons
Homeless Organizations - wearing Kerry buttons
Reparation groups - wearing Kerry buttons
Communists/Socialist - wearing Kerry buttons
Anarchists - the only "organized" (isn't that an oxymoron for them?) group with no (for the most part) political buttons. They are just looking for trouble whether walking, on their bikes, in the subways, etc. - making it clear that they are for ANYBODY but Bush.
"Democrats deny they're behind the protests or rallies"
Hahaha! Then these protestors must be part of the DNC's 527 organizations, huh Terry McAuliffe?
nearing 1,000 hippy arrests this afternoon according to the radio..
LOL!
Places like Moveon.Orc and DU have suggested the garbage that the 'protestors' (criminals) are doing, all with complicit knowledge of the DNC.
Why else would Moveon.Orc and Kerry's campaign have switched managing heads?
Yikes!
I apologise for the Susan Estrich image and the wav file linked with it!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
It's a little disingenuous for this reporter to claim that these protestors simply hate all of the above, when their protests are so much louder and bigger than the ones in Boston.
Did you hear about John Kerry's surprise visit to the Athens Olympics? He only stayed for 40 minutes but left with 6 medals.
Nope. Not contrite enough. Maybe a vanity of Anna photos with Coulter wav files. Maybe.
*gulp*
I don't have stuff like that..
But I do have an Invader Zim 20$ bill image, and some demented stuff.
Or just if it smells like a Dimocrat!
LOL!
Why didn;t the Kerry Kamp and Komrade Kerry condemn the Kerrorists on the streets of NYC before there was any violence.
Komrade Kerry has a vile organizer working for him who probably set up the funding and instructions for the Kerrorist Street Mob for months.
As you know, Theressa has the Tides Foundation fund "The Ruckus Society," which is prominent in organizing these dastardly demonstrations all the time!!! (there's been several threads on this)
... or vice versa...

Glock, what a great job.
The new face of the DNC, the Pro Islamonazi and Anti American, Michael Moore.
Yep, we have to keep remembering George $orea$$ during this entire election mess.
