The Kingdom Takes Over Denver

webgitmo_edited-3.jpg

What would a gaudy extravaganza for “The Coronation” be without a dungeon? Sure enough, as Uppity Woman has already reported here wire cages topped off with barbed wire and stun-gun carrying guards await anyone who …. does what?

Despite detailed descriptions of the facility, the arrest, bond posting, and court processing, why one would be arrested remains fuzzy. I finally found the one sheet flier everyone will be handed that sheds new light on the term “vague.” Couched in the cloak of one’s rights, your guess as to why you can be hauled off to the Denver Gitmo is as good as mine. Every “right” has a “but.” You can speak out, unless….You can march on public streets, unless… Or, I quote, “Even if you are not engaged in unlawful activity, you are subject to citation and/or arrest if you do not leave the area defined by the police in their lawful (?) order to disperse.” I get the feeling that the police can make it up as they go.

This reminds me of the bigger picture. Obama’s comment last June 14th in Philadelphia, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun” suggests that his critics will be treated harshly. The Democratic Party has lost its moorings and appears to be about to push through an inexperienced candidate who we know little about (most records either conveniently missing or under embargo), and what we do know involves some pretty ruthless and dangerous associates. How would the freedom of expression and right of association be played out under an Obama administration? Like Denver, it simply is not clear–but it feels ominous.

    When Obama is president, you’ll have one of those on every street.

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    Well, they could be for all the pissed off Obamabits who try and riot after Hillary get the nomination….a girl can dream can’t she?

  • BoboBolinski

    Obama brings a natural high to all Americans. With Barack we do not need beer and drugs. Denver is the perfect place for hearing the intoxicating words of Barack Obama.

  • notodisenfranchisement

    yes, true – and the cages will be labeled “herein are the racists.”

  • mystic4hillpuma

    In an Obama presidency, I suppose I’ll have to wear a yellow star on my clothing, too…

    And the Obamabots will each be fitted with their very own Brown Shirt…

    It gets scarier and scarier.

  • Peniel

    Remember when nuns were arrested in CO because of protesting the war in IraQ?

    We can either fight this now or wait till Nazi Germany is upon us. Its clear that with the consolidation of power under Bush, we’re living in a more and more rights-restricted America.

  • James

    I like that one Strawberry :)

    There’s still a part of me that truly believes Hillary will walk away from the convention as our nominee, and these “cages” are for the angry Obamabots; who are naturally violent, abusive and irrational as it is.

    Imagine, we all know the Superdelegates are going to decide this, and they’ve all been privy to the same info we have these past couple months. There just might be a Clinton Coup at the convention with the Supers going her way. Then we can all get some much needed rest knowing our country will be safe and these Obamafreaks are put away where they belong.

    “This reminds me of the bigger picture. Obama’s comment last June 14th in Philadelphia, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun” suggests that his critics will be treated harshly.”

    Is Obama suggesting his supporters bring guns to the convention in Denver???

    If they do, will Obama be held accountable for incite to violence and possibly murder?

  • Perry Logan

    I feel like such a fool.

  • Hope is the last to die

    Of course not. He’s not held accountable of anything. That’s his definition of leadership.

  • PewL

    The Democratic Party will never unify without Clinton as the nominee,and Obama if need be the VP…

    Nothing else will do,nothing else will fix this mess.

    Clinton—Nominee

    Obama —VP..

    Nothing else will do..

  • The Real Hope

    Don’t be surprised if someone or some people die at the hands of taser-happy PO PO!

  • Hope is the last to die

    16 years of Obama. 8 for Barry, 8 for Michelle. That’s a lot of time to spend in a dungeon.

  • Ferdberfle

  • mesofreee

    I’m not sure if Obama is smart enough to realize this but if people DO die at this thing, it’s an automatic landslide for McCain..

    That is IF the election isn’t cancelled by Bush

  • Jim

    You all are cognizant of basic facts (like, this is Denver PD putting these arrangements together – not Obama) aren’t you? That Obama would have little or no control over how a municipal government would deal logistically with a major convention? Or is that too boring for you and really doesn’t let you get your blood up?

    From NBC/NJ’s Mike Memoli
    As Delaware Sen. Joe Biden left his home a few minutes ago, golf clubs in tow, he was asked where he was going to be on Saturday.

    Biden replied, “Here” and pointed down to his driveway.

    As he pulled out of the driveway in the driver’s seat of his car he then said to the press gathered near his gate, “You guys have better things to do. I’m not the guy.”

  • mesofreee

    Everyone knows the ‘municipal governments’ are just the tools the big guys use to keep people in line.

    What ever you wish to believe, the Governor AND Mayor are both Obama democrats in Colorado and they call the shots.

    Ultimately, Obama’s thugs will decide what happens here, peace or violence.

    I guess we’ll see.

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    Well James, I can’t imagine cages being built for the average Hillary supporter. If we Clintonites haven’t rioted yet at the way we’ve been treated, I don’t know what else could make us resort to violence. Perhaps Barky stabbing puppies? Michelle eating the heads off of fluffy bunnies?

  • Ferdberfle

    Better yet, don’t get caught.

  • snosandy

    My local radio host made a comment yesterday that said so much in so few words.

    “Our forefathers left England to escape a king…..”

  • Ferdberfle

    You are naive.

  • mesofreee

    Yes, you are right. I think it’s confirmed that Obama has Narcissistic (sp) personality disorder bordering on being a Sociopath.

    If he keeps telling his supporters to arm themselves, we can add psychopath to the list.

  • snosandy

    I should have added that it was a liberal radio host (in the latte liberal Seattle market).

  • StrawberrybitesBarky

    Nah, Bush is so sick and tired of being king, he’s already got the movering truck baced up at the door of the White House. He can’t wait to sleep late(er) and snort coke off of Gannon’s tushy.

  • mesofreee

    I’m just kidding of course.

    What do I have to avoid getting caught doing?

    My true feeling is:

    I think it will be completely peaceful, very few arrests.

    A razor sharp cartoon. Good job.

  • mesofreee

    Really the first time???

    It’s a tongue in cheek referrence to the conspiracy theories going around about 4-5 years ago about Bush making it his decision to declare marshall law and have eveyone hauled off to concentration camps being built in secret locations.

    I really thought everyone had heard those conspiracy theories.

  • mesofreee

    You misunderstand -

    As I said in my comment, I think there will be very few arrests.

    I won’t get arrested, or pressed to death, because I won’t be doing anything to get arrested, or pressed to death for.

    Thanks for your concern tho.

    Military Intelligence and National Guard present at Denver DNC
    by E. Rosa- Colorado Independent
    Wednesday Jul 30th, 2008 5:57 PM
    The Colorado Army National Guard is expected to transform a private Denver university campus into a restricted military lodging area during the Democratic National Convention in August.

    More than 400 soldiers could be stationed in official capacity on the campus according to the National Guard, but the Guard is not disclosing what the troops will be doing during the convention.

  • http://dontcallmesweetie.blogspot.com/ Blu

    Pot smokers who light up during the Democratic National Convention can expect to get busted under state laws, even though a voter-approved city ordinance makes possession of small amounts of marijuana the “lowest law enforcement priority,” Denver police said Monday.
    “We’ve always enforced the state statute,” police spokesman Sonny Jackson said. “That was the law before the initiative and it’s nothing new. I don’t know why we’d relax any law.”
    Mason Tvert, leader of the group that sponsored the ordinance that discourages marijuana busts, said city officials are ignoring the will of the voters. Last year, the city prosecuted 1,600 marijuana cases, he said, and is on track to bump that to 1,900 this year.
    “We’re concerned, during the Democratic National Convention, that they are going to use the law to cite people or detain them,” Tvert said.

    I think many of us are apprehensive about the convention and the potential for disruptive behavior and consequences for protesters. Before we get too carried away about the potential for catastrophic events, it might be good to check out the detailed plans for the convention and security issues at the link below including the questions and answers section. This may be helpful especially to those who plan to attend the convention or be in the immediate vicinity:

    All I can say is that I do not have a good feeling about this at all. It is either posturing or they plan on arresting people. The questions then become why the posturing or, conversely, how strictly they are going to enforce the restrictions?

    You know what, there has been a serious overreaction to this whole Denver Convention. I do not think anything will be so crazy out of order that the media needs to constantly try to warn protestors that the National Guard will be there, and Gitmo, and on and on, tanks, etc.

    Gimme a break. It’s like the media is trying to force people to not protest when it is a right and many people have permits anyway.

    Sure, there are some loud and scary looking people, (like those anarchist guys! lol) and I bet there will be SOME who just want to cause havoc, but c’mon already with the threats: DENVER, Media, Obama-Media, Obama-DNC.

    Try to sell Denver as something NICE, not something out of 1984.

  • Ferdberfle

  • Katmoon

    HI KAt,

    Seriously, Since there has been no information released as to the weapons that may or may not be used in a situation of large groups protesting, anyone with a heart condition, (pacemaker) or has epilepsy, needs to be very careful, tasers will cause further harm to anyone with these medical conditions.

  • sfhillary

    Yeah, that’s exactly right — we get the details in our secret daily bot emails — once Obama is president, martial law will be imposed, all those who did not vote for him will be arrested, all puppies and kittens will be outlawed, rainbows will vanish, and all will be darkness forevermore.

    Do you people have any what fucking idiots you sound like? Grow the hell up.

  • wodiej

    I think the “cages” are just another symbolic gesture by Obama and his cohorts to try to scare protestors. Unless people are acting violently I don’t think people are going to be drug away for no reason. If you’re not breaking the law and protesting peacefully then there is nothing to worry about. It’s just a mind game by Obama…he and his campaign play them well. By all means, all those able, go and show your support for Democracy. Do you realize how much Obama and the DNC don’t want to see on the news that their “chosen” candidate is being protested and Democrats aren’t unifying?? LOL…I can hardly wait to see it!

    To be honest I maybe we should let Obama get the nomination.

So whether he wins the nom or not I’m going to enjoy the post convention coverage. The only problem is that obama’s nomination could successfully kill our party. There’s’ no way in heck anyone will vote democratic again when they find out how much party leaders are letting this man get away with. Every single thing negative I have heard about them has turned out to be at least 95% true and they are still letting him run. It’s gonna be ugly.

    If Biden is Obama’s VP choice, just imagine a VP with more experience than the chosen one. How many delegates did Biden get when he was running? NADA… Good Choice…

  • rw

    I think their preference is an Odinga style one…keep it in the family type of thing.

  • mesofreee

    I hear there’s an opening in Pakistan

  • Steve1

    Soetoro has created another Zimbabwe, he and his thug followers. Who try to intimidate and name call. Mass rallies of paid, blind supporters screaming for their phony leader.

  • No Obamislamists

    Ummmmmm…

    I believe it’s called SNARK.

    Sheesh, have a sense of humor…oh wait, I forgot. Obama and his minions have none.

  • Sam Copeland

    Absolutely correct!

    And it is not just FISA but backtracking on off-shore drilling, pro-choice, gun control, and taking about 7 different positions on the war in Iraq.

  • Ferdberfle

    Face it, you’re an intellectual joke.

    I’d say you don’t have a lot of room to boast,considering your support for a buffoon wannabe for President.

  • Steve1

    What the F..K was Soetoro doing in Pakistan??? Yeah you go to Pakistan during your Sprin Break? Who did he meet while he was over there? Did he visit any other country while he was there?

  • No Obamislamists

    Pass the Obamaijuana

  • DanL

    Bambi NEEDS Biden…..He’s scared shitless of Russia….He has NO clue what to do!

  • Sam Copeland

    Well, what do you expect?

    Soetoro Obama supports telecom immunity under FISA, continued use of paramilitary such as Blackwater, permanent troops in Iraq (after he was against it), and first-strike capability into sovereign nations like Pakistan. Plus, he refused to stand up for Move-on’s right to free speech in the General Petraeus matter.

    Why not set up a mini-Gitmo at the coronation convention? It is a good way to test out new techniques of social control.

    Really, what do you expect?

  • CC Cane

    Looks like Obama’s taking lessons from his ethnic cleansing cousin, Kenyan Prime Minister Railia Odinga. Come to think of it, Odinga ran on hope and change too….

    Good Luck America!

  • Ferdberfle

    Actually, he’s scared shitless of Putin.

  • http://IthinkIfeel... Tricia Spiegel

    Folks are having fun, that’s all. Never too old for that.

    BUT sfhillary, you must be too young to remeber 1968. That was something else again, and the people are about as upset now as they were then.

    One saving grace, of course, will be that Hillary supporters are not a violent lot. I would be much more afraid if Hillary was the one to be nominated.

  • btintaos

    You know, it has never once crossed my mind to go a pro-Obama site and irritate people. Now who needs to grow the hell up?

    You come here where you are able to post freely (unlike pro-oblahblah websites) and call us idiots. Look, you half-baked, half-witted troll, if you don’t like what we post here, go the hell away-you be a grown up for a change.

    Denver may forever be wearing a big red letter G after this convention. It’s not their fault – someone poured kool-aid in the water supply. I think its gonna be a frickin’ disaster so I hope the PUMA’s and others going to stand against the DNC stay safe. Wear goggles and take plenty of bandanas cause I fear its going to be ugly.

  • tavyprof

    Actually, it was more like six months ago when they were moving battleships into the Gulf and talking up what a baddie Iran is. An October surprise — more war! — shock and awe, goodby America.

  • mimi

    Excuse me but, what was 0bama’s vote on FISA again?

    0bama and his Chicago thug tactics are no better than anything the Rethugs have done. Caucus cheating. Hacking sites. Threatening people. Not allowing opposing viewpoints on pro0bama sites, unlike here at No Quarter, these don’t exactly put me in the mood for seeing it your way.

    But then again, I don’t do kool-aid.

    Talk about not living in the real world.

  • bye bye

    some of us are true pacifists, we don’t believe in even speaking of violence. obama needs to rid his speech of “hip” pop culture and rap references. he loses more of us EVERY day.

  • Ferdberfle

    I think your posted summed it up much better than mine, above. There really is something to be said for putting the term dumbass at the end of a sentence. ROFL.

  • No Obamislamists

    Like they would ever let that happen. Dailykooks allows ZERO criticism and critiques of Obama, no matter how pro-Obama or meaningfull it is.

  • btintaos

    You’re so right. I was telling a friend of mine that, if all of Bobo’s chickens come home to roost if and after he becomes president, people won’t elect another democrat for a thousand years. I guess the DNC is gearing up for a long, dry spell.

  • bye bye

    remember on saturday night? in between gaffes and umms, he said he needs to be protected from his selfishness?! HELLO!

    and then remember the Holy Wall in Jersusalem whem his “secret” letter to God was”leaked” — he wanted God to save him from his own pride…

    yeah, he gets himself, one saving grace!

  • catherine

    He will NOT be president- plain and simple. America is waking up.

  • tek

  • tek

    Right, like Obamabots are grown up. Donna Brazile: If Obama isn’t the nominee, I’m leaving the Party. Then the bots criticize Hillary people if we don’t like him.

  • Rich

    This is why I am very concerned about the Democratic Party and their attitude toward women. In California because a women Democrat did not vote with her party for the budget, she was cast out and had to move her office to an island away from the mainland, or the main activity. She was trying to look out for the people who elected her, which is what she was elected to do. If we can not get along with our own party members how are we going to reach across the aisle to get anything done? We need Hillary to create some kind of sanity.

  • LIsabona

    I hope and pray,you are right.Barry will never be the president of our country.Sometime I loose every hope that the truth will ever pevail

  • mesofreee

    Oh you mean Al Capone the infamous CHICAGO CRIME BOSS???

    When you invoke the words of a mass murdering crime lord (whether from a movie or not), you are aligning yourself with that style of tactics.

    If he meant what you say he meant, then he should have said just that. Instead of making an Obama/Capone comparison.

    It’s a lose lose for Obama regarding this statement-

    Either he meant it as it is, and considers Capone tactics ok

    or

    He didn’t mean it that way but is too stupid to know that he confirmed the fears a lot of us have about his wanna be Capone attitude

    So which is it? Is he a wanna be Capone, or a stupid foot in mouth dolt?

  • Ferdberfle

    The Chickenshit Sniper Troll is on the loose again.

    If he didn’t mean it, then he surely is guilty of poor judgment, dumbass. Oops…I thought judgment was his strong suit.

  • Karma

    You grow up!

    The left was all upset over Bush and his cages….so now they create cages themselves!?

    What happened to the Constitutional law lecturer’s respect for the Constitution?

    Scared they might reveal someone who hasn’t drank the kool-aid on tv? The MSM certainly won’t report it so what is the worry with Obama? That the First Amendment might actually occur on the streets of Denver?

    oOOOoo scary! People speaking their minds.

    It is such utter nonsense that they accept this from Obama when the left whined about Bush subverting democracy with these same cages. They have no honor.

    However, the proof of Obama’s intent will be in the accounts of the people who were caught. It certainly was with the Bush cages.

  • politicsIsdirty

    I am ashamed of what my party, the Democratic party has been doing lately. I don’t remember the Republican party doing something like this…. erecting a barbed wire fence to scare and house dissenters.

  • LIsabona

    Can Obama remember somebody else comment than Al Capone’s.All Chicago politics are based on Al-Capone, teaching and style. So, the apple won’t fall fare from the tree.Sad,he didn’t know a more intelligent comment,they are so many

    Sad, Obama could not remember some other remarcable an intelligent comment,just Al-Capone’s.But you can’t expect a better one if your whole political experience are based on Al-Capone’s teaching and metods.

  • C.S.

    I have a challenge for your candidate; why doesn’t he challenge McCain to a test on the Constitution and see who wins. Because from what I hear Obama isn’t too up on Constitutional law. After this weekend’s performance, I think McCain would win.

    And I don’t know about Obama’s “real world” but in the real world we live in no one is providing us with 6 million dollar mansions and inflation just jumped to 5.6% in July. That’s very real to Voters!

  • Bigtime

    Went to the county fair tonight and guess what they were passing out at the tractor display before the exhibits. Pretty “Nobama” stickers with a blank or white flag on it. My boyfriend grabbed me the last one in the basket. The guy said the stickers were going like hotcakes. Made my night, that and watching my boyfriends 4.9 year old at his first fair was a joy too. When he saw the rides and and stuff he just stood, looked and shook with excitement.

    Obama: It’s dog shit.
    Pedro: What?
    Obama: Yeah, my dog ate my stash, man.
    Pedro: Yeah?

    Are you aware that groups such as “re-create-68″ have worked closly with the city on what the rules are to be and went so far as to dicate the terms?

    Get a clue. Or have you not been reading the reporting out of Denver in the last year?

    This is a level one security event so the full “force” of the Patriot Act along Presidential directives and FISA are being brought to bear. The Denver PD Home Land Security will be wall to wall?

  • Merman1983

    Wow. This sorry exchange of “ideas” reminds me that we’re a nation of lame-brains incapable of dealing with reality, & we usually get the president we deserve. After 8 years of lies, corruption, secret prisons, extreme renditions, etc, god forbid you bunch of morons should talk about the profound reforms required to turn this mess around, or engage in a constructive dialog about the candidates’ proposals, or which candidate is better equipped to get the job done. No, it’s so much more enlightening to gossip and repeat lies and insults from the echo chamber of online Obama-bashers. Critical thinking is such an overrated concept, who needs it?

  • brodie

    Oh, yeah. And I bet there were a bunch of sycophants like you in Germany when the shit started hitting the fan there, too. When Nobama & the DNC start ACTING like democrats, we’ll start believing they really are. Until then, better to be prepared and hope we were just being paranoid. Some of us remember all too well how people can get carried away by their political fervor and end up doing really bad things. What concerns some of us is that if y’all will brook no dissent now, what the hell would you be like if your candidate actually won? Like we used to say in the sixties- “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean no one’s following you.”

  • Rich

    I thought Obama says he likes to listen to many voices to help him make good decisions, so why are so many voices being silenced?

  • http://IthinkIfeel... Tricia Spiegel

    To Merman.

    We just don’t want problems to continue. Democracy remains a fragile experiment. Most people do not realize that. Discussing the signs that free speech or freedom of association are being limited is perhaps one of the most important issues. Without either, democracy is doomed.

    Some of us see WAY too much gradiosity in Obama, and that is a very bad signal. That is how things could unwind further into what happens too often in other countries.

  • FranSC

    Actually, I don’t think this is the democratic party in regard to the “gastapo” tactics now being used by the Obamas.

    In one of the videos about the astonishing tactics used in the caucuses, this democratic party leader said, “The democratic party has been taken over by ‘young white males’” – the MoveOn.Org types.

    This, of course, with the blessing of Dean, Brazile, Pelosi, and Clyburn. And the reason we MUST take our party back. We cannot allow this hi-tec demographic group who knows nothing about history or life to take over the reins of this country.

  • FranSC

    Whatever happened to the constitutional law – on the Right to Assemble. As of right now this is a free country in which people have the right to protest. Just asking.

  • FranSC

    Thanks, btintaos, for the best laugh of the week!
    “…People won’t elect another democrat for a thousand years.”

  • FranSC

    All the scarey types are the Obama thugs who will be making sure they get to remain “happy”. I have thought from the start that the cages are to lock out (and away) the Hillary supporters from where the action is. Unless we have protestors inside the convention hall (delegates), demanding rights for all there including an open convention that is not just symbolic, nothing will happen except what Bo and the DNC want. It will then look like the happy, party unity they are trying to achieve, but nothing could be further from the truth.

  • FranSC

    Well, yeah, we know this isn’t Obama’s idea since nothing about his campaign has been his idea so far. Why would he decide to micro-manage the conv?
