What a sorry bunch of protesters! Given the stage on a silver platter, they cannot communicate why it is they are there…

kevin   August 25th, 2008 - 1:46 am

Obviously they are peace lovers! The Obama/Pelosi controlled Democratic party is veering rapidly to the far left.

Interesting to see if MSNBC covers the violence or plays it down.

So what if a few Socialists don’t like the way America slaughters innocent people? Let them protest. It sustains the illusion that America is a free country, which is valuable for Brand America, even while our dollars depreciate.

A lot of these so-called socialists
are often just government provocateurs anyway. Even if they are real protesters, it’s not going to make a difference. Most Americans don’t really care if corporations rule their lives or anything else.

At some point as an American, if you are going to live here and not make waves, you just have to accept the fact that America likes stealing other countries’ resources and killing their people. We’re good at it, a lot of the time.

What i see is people saying they are about peace then bashing heads of those that do not agree show me the rightfulness of this 2 wrongs make no right!
It just allows then to spit their Vengeance that they say they don’t have Yeah!
Right you bloody a cameraman’s nose but your not violent excuse me your worse then the worse you proclaim you are for peace but use violence to acheave your ends your no beter than those you SQUEEL against!
And that is my opinion and i stick to it like glue.
Yuor all full of it as you allways have been and allways will be you lie like the rest i fell for your cra* once and we hurt to many people no more not now not ever again preach to the 1st and 2nd year collage wennies ok they soak your cra* up because they are ready to be milked common sense is gonE.
And they are ready to be used!

why bother giving these losers air time?

dswilli   August 25th, 2008 - 9:14 am

Fox should hire the Hell’s angels for security. You wouldn’t hear a peep out of these little twits.

Texan   August 25th, 2008 - 9:18 am

From the party that totes itself as one of “tolerance” . The only thing this rabble lacked were shirts colored brown.

dr jay   August 25th, 2008 - 9:41 am

those guys are working their little selves into gitmo on the platte. true radical believers of any flavor are comical…these guys are just the best though. the DNC wouldn’t touch sonny barger for a stones repeat….they’ll have some more official jackbooted thugs though….here it comes.

dswilli   August 25th, 2008 - 9:43 am

Take heart people this is good. Let America see the Democrats on parade. From these “peace” demonstrators to dykes on bikes. Let them show themselves in all their idiotic glory. A replay of 1968 Chicago would be outstanding. Let’s not condemn them, praise them! We want more more more!

Woody   August 25th, 2008 - 10:18 am

Dswilli makes a good point. America is–and has always been–a center-conservative nation. When the masses realize what the Left has become, they will thumb their noses at the Democratic Party (i.e. the blame America first party).

Chris   August 25th, 2008 - 10:42 am

LOL at the bunch of losers. Why does it seem that most protesters look borderline homeless and act like the typical potheads from teenage comedies? “Yeah, man, like it is totally like, you know, messed up, like that, you know (pause for toke o’ the smoke), it’s like totally… facism and racist, you know…what? oh yeah, Stop Fox News!, Stop Fox News!” Pathetic and quite laughable.

Rob H.   August 25th, 2008 - 11:06 am

When is the last time Republicans attacked a news crew? Never?

The left in this country is a group of radical, anti-free speech thugs.

all in one place,wheres the peace in them lol

Matt   August 25th, 2008 - 12:11 pm

So…..they’re liberals AND conspiracy nuts? Government provacatuers posing as protesters? Send them to Cuba. They’ll have the health care they clamour for and they’ll find out what real provacatuers and media manipulation is!

Use your brain for reality, not some pot-induced paranoid delusion.

Scott   August 25th, 2008 - 1:46 pm

Same old story. The biggest bigots are always on the left. Ignorant fools.

Elmo   August 25th, 2008 - 2:21 pm

Impressive.

Sad, pathetic, amamzing …. and yet I usta’b like some of them turgid kuh-lowns (proudly so). One day the mighty stink got to be too much (I feel dirty just watching the vid). I could no longer stand among them. I now feel priveleged to vote Republican. Disagreeing with parts of the conservative social agenda. But respecting those different views (and those who have them). In this great country of ours A M E R I C A.

Fruit loop libs in Denver, encore please!! [I ain't in Denver, but if you're deranged and stupid enough ... to lay hands on me? I'll oblige ya (and return the favor [in spades])].

The camera crews mistake? Sheepishly walking away from a large crowd of cowards, joykoffs, commies, nihilists, anarchists, dhimmi’s, and other assorted verbal incontinents.

Signed, soft walker ….

Obama Biden Laden   August 25th, 2008 - 2:51 pm

wow.

well said, guys.

what’s even sadder is that there will be a portion of the population that finds this “awesome”.

oh, and kudos to the mongrel holding the little kid.

Unless this is something contrived by Fox, a stunt that would give them far too much credit, (and an accusation from the bloserphere that’s probably only a day or two away)are there any relatively like minded folks out there that are embarrassed by this?

Lisa M   August 25th, 2008 - 4:37 pm

Please continue to show every single bit of this on national TV-
Over, and over, and over again…
“What are you so angry about?
“Uh, corporations..uh Rupert Murdoch…”

HAHAHAHaaa most people don’t know who Rupert is…

Fox News, I am serious. Show this sort of stuff ALL through convention week….not the same footage, different footage…interview these types of loons….over and over and over again….
You can’t make this stuff up…, you just can’t…and the world will be a safer place for you doing it….

Bobo   August 25th, 2008 - 4:53 pm

Nick, you’re a clueless POS.

Junkyard   August 25th, 2008 - 4:56 pm

I love seeing Fox News get punked. The reporter was hardly assaulted, he walked right into a protest as it was marching down the street. As far as”f— Fox News is concerned,” I wholeheartedly agree. Fox has become nothing but a sniveling, smarmy mouthpiece of the far-right war machine.

The most ridiculous comment made in those two videos is the reporter’s insistence that these people didn’t “believe in freedom of speech,” because they wouldn’t talk to him. How ridiculous is that?

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean that you must speak every time the press asks you to. Freedom of speech means that you say only what you’re compelled to say. This Fox reporter is about as American as a Hitler Youth.

A real patriot   August 25th, 2008 - 4:58 pm

“When is the last time Republicans attacked a news crew? Never?”

That’s crap and you know it. They attacked news crews in Florida during to disrupt the recount effort in West Palm Beach.

Jim   August 25th, 2008 - 5:09 pm

Peaceful protest eh????? not hardly….. Actually it was nothing more than typical angry liberals who do nothing but but whine and snivel and are without any morals or a message…. its one thing to disagree, and even saying so, but to assualt and curse at someone is wrong…. is this the ‘change’ that Barack Obama is proposing to be bringing us…. hate? assualt? lawlessness? violence?

Yo   August 25th, 2008 - 5:59 pm

Hey, “Real Patriot”. got a link to that news report or are you just making stuff up? OOPS! I forgot. liberals don’t let the facts get in the way of their version of the truth.

devo   August 25th, 2008 - 6:19 pm

What the hell was this? The Jerry Springer Show???

Anthony   August 25th, 2008 - 6:32 pm

To all of you freedom haters out there who are downplaying the protestors you are only helping the war machine and those that feed it to destroy more and more of what’s left of our republic. Dissent is patriotic. Applaud those who protest and stand up against those in power who are FACIST enemies of liberty.

This isn’t nothing. Wait until you see the chimp-out that occurs when Hillary usurps the Obammy nomination!

chris   August 25th, 2008 - 7:06 pm

This is the perfect example of what liberals of made of, when they do not have the brain power to discuss, debate with reason or facts, or just behave like human beings….They are the germinating seeds of socialism, and they need to be put in their place…the garbage if I had my way….

Logic Lee   August 25th, 2008 - 7:56 pm

The democrats–one degree of separation from anarchy and the violent mob.

If this isn’t a microcosm of war what is?

Steve   August 25th, 2008 - 7:58 pm

For all the spouting of right wing propaganda, the lies and distortions, FOX News gets what it deserves. I would have doen the same with Joseph Goebbels.

ruby ray   August 25th, 2008 - 8:28 pm

The people think FOX is a bulls–t network and they don’t have to pretend that it isn’t. Fox is not going to give a fair and balanced report and this video is an example. Oh, poor fox cameraman trying to get at the truth! NOT

NW NEOCON   August 25th, 2008 - 8:40 pm

Freedom of speech from the left wing? Hardly. Unless you have been brainwashed by the rhetoric of these nut jobs then you best not say a word. Just ask every conservative who ever tried to speak at a college or give a speech in public that has been shouted down, pies thrown at them, assaulted, chased, etc. Trying to discuss any topic in a civilized manner with a whack nut lefty is not possible. Can you imagine the coverage if a conservative group took on the CBS, ABC, NBC or MSNBC, CNN crews? Keith O-blabber-man’s head would explode! What a bunch of fine upstanding American’s gathered there in Denver. (Note the sarcasm here!)

Jim B   August 25th, 2008 - 8:41 pm

I’ve voted Democrat my entire life, but this year I will be voting Republican. Sadly, our party has fallen into the hands of the too far left for me.

Their ideas and agenda is more than I can handle. I don’t want my children to be raised in the world they want.

These morons could have went on Fox News and represented the party with class. Showing that they want change. Instead they makes asses of themselves and get violent. This is the perfect example of the people I do not have the same ideas as. They want the country to form to their idiotic views even though they are the minority in believing them.

Gop here I come. Maybe someday we can get a moderate dem that works to make the country better, instead of bowing to the radicals who fund them.

usPatriot   August 25th, 2008 - 8:49 pm

ah, the far left! Thanks again for proving you are all against freedom of speech. Unless it is YOUR brand/opinion, you try to silence it. Heil Hitler you fascist bast**ds!

demdicks   August 25th, 2008 - 9:01 pm

Steve, Nick, Junkyard, A Real Patriot, Anthony, ruby ray;

This is YOUR party on display, dolts, enjoy.

Stop on your way to hell and say hello to some of your past heroes, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Chavez, Che, Castro, Manson, Kruschev, Weather Underground, Mugabe, “rev” Wright, Jackson, Sharpton et all.

Jack Kennedy   August 25th, 2008 - 9:11 pm

Fox news needs to keep interviewing the loons and putting them out for the Real Americans to see what the liberals are about.

luv the nick, steve, real hatetriot of the world. Real Americans have see these loons to be reminded of the hate America crowd in our communities.

obamaahahahahahaha – lolololololololololol!!!!

rotflmao!!!!

The Real Patriot   August 25th, 2008 - 10:33 pm

A real “patriot”, you are a real idiot!

You said “They attacked news crews in Florida during to disrupt the recount effort in West Palm Beach.”

First of all, that never happened. Secondly, how would attacking news crews stop election employees from counting ballots? Once again, you stupid liberals have nothing but illogical claims.

AMR   August 25th, 2008 - 11:00 pm

Democrat delegates that protested Fox’s presence AND those Democrats that turn a blind-eye, to these wackos, are a bunch of cowardly craven left-wing ‘Nazis’

Free Speach For All   August 26th, 2008 - 12:27 am

Free speach applies to everyone like it or not.
When you say you can have free speach but someone else can’t because you don’t like their message your trampling on the very right your trying to say your upholding!

Fox News instigated this confrontation its clear.

And freedom of speach does not require you to answer.
Its not freedom to demand an answer, its freedom to ask the question.

Double talk in its finest form. Imply something that is clearly not evident in the video.

I wonder what these losers are going to do when Hillary usurps the nomination from Obongo?

Choctaw2   August 26th, 2008 - 4:33 am

If these protestors had any self pride, they wouldn’t be standidng aroung making a___s out of themselves and have a real job to be at, instead of living off the welfare they probably receive for there broken middle fingers they’ve overused at these demonstrations. Nothing but a waste of space on this planet. I would never support such childish action. They probably still wear huggies, with a 1-hitter in their shirt pocket.

Tyler Durden   August 26th, 2008 - 5:17 am

Are all you people for real?
You know the media makes protestors out to be either “violent” when they act up, or when they’re peaceful they either aren’t given airtime, or they are given 30 seconds to answer a stupid question, or it’s edited to make them sound stupid.
So this is the only response we can give the corporate media = “F— You”
And obviously, the media will make themselves look like the victim.
Just keep buying what they’re selling ya folks.
*I miss George Carlin*

What happened   August 28th, 2008 - 2:27 am

This is what happened in Florida in 200:

While the siege of the canvassing board office was underway, county Democratic chairman Joe Geller stopped at another office seeking a sample ballot. He wanted to demonstrate his theory that some voters had intended to vote for Gore but instead marked an adjoining number that represented no candidate.

As Geller took the ballot marked “sample,” one of the Republican activists began shouting, “This guy’s got a ballot!”

In Down and Dirty, Tapper writes: “The masses swarm around him, yelling, getting in his face, pushing him, grabbing him. ‘Arrest him!’ they cry. ‘Arrest him!’ With the help of a diminutive DNC aide, Luis Rosero, and the political director of the Miami Gore campaign, Joe Fraga, Geller manages to wrench himself into the elevator.

“Rosero, who stays back to talk to the press, gets kicked, punched. A woman pushes him into a much larger guy, seemingly trying to instigate a fight. In the lobby of the building, a group of 50 or so Republicans are crushed around Geller, surrounding him. …

“The cops escort Geller back to the 19th floor, so the elections officials can see what’s going on, investigate the charges. Of course, it turns out that all Geller had was a sample ballot. The crowd is pulling at the cops, pulling at Geller. It’s insanity! Some even get in the face of 73-year-old Rep. Carrie Meek. Democratic operatives decide to pull out of the area altogether.”

Conservatives are worst than liberals because they’ll even attack the voting process and the people chosen to run it to grab at power.
