What did we expect from these leeches on society. Expect these punks to be civil? Just hoping they attack the wrong car or property and someone kicks their f—ing whimpy lil butts.

Obama, we are ready to follow you! We will disrupt the RNC to help with your poll numbers. Let us know what else we must do to win!

Obama, make us all equal and remove greed, envy and violence from our society.

We will give you our all! Obama, we await for you, The One!

These morons should be thankful for the Republicans not protest them.

If I was a cop, I would teach them a lesson about democracy. Punks. As the cop said, we won this one.

Troopergate EXPOSED:

>>>>>>> The accuser is blogger and rental car executive Andrew Halcro, a Republican-turned-Independent who lost to Palin in the 2006 governor’s race.<<<<<<<<<<<<<< he lost to Palin, now he wants to sh_t on her name!!! ***************

The accused is Palin, the rising Republican star with a clean-hands reputation who has the most to lose.

The man in the middle is Monegan, who says Palin never told him to fire the trooper.

Then there’s trooper Mike Wooten, who used a Taser on his stepson, Palin’s nephew Payton. Wooten has been reprimanded for violating nearly a dozen laws and departmental policies since December 2001.

Trooper Wooten used a Taser on his stepson.
Wooten illegally shot a moose.
Wooten drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion.
Wooten told others his father-in-law would “eat a f’ing lead bullet” if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.

Wooten is 35, a state trooper since March 2001 and an Air Force veteran. He’s a father of young children who has been married and

****divorced four times.****

Trooper Wooten recently gave his union permission to release the entire investigative file, all 482 pages and hours of recorded interviews.

“The record clearly indicates a serious and concentrated pattern of unacceptable and at times, illegal activity occurring over a lengthy period, which establishes a course of conduct totally at odds with the ethics of our profession,” Col. Julia Grimes, then head of Alaska State Troopers, wrote in March 1, 2006, ****** letter suspending Trooper Wooten for 10 days.****** After the union protested it, the suspension was reduced to five days.

***** Col. Julia Grimes warned that if Wooten messed up again, he’d be fired. *****

“This discipline is meant to be a last chance to take corrective action,” Grimes wrote. “You are hereby given notice that any further occurrences of these types of behaviors or incidents will not be tolerated and will result in your termination.”

*********************************

Wolf Blitzer CNN owes Palin an apology, CNN is reporting the troopergate story as if Palin broke a law.

FIRE WOLF BLITZER!!!!!!
and
CNN should donate $10 million to a charity of Palin’s choice.

I wish I was a cop there. I’d smash one or two of these mental midgets and feel great doing it. They are nothing but bums, ugly women, dirty clothes. Typical John Kerry clones “in the fashion of Gengiss Kahn”. Loved the jack boots.

“outbreak of violence at an anti-war march”. That says it all. What a bunch of punks.

dr jay   September 2nd, 2008 - 8:16 am

Tune in to the Alex Jones Show to hear all the details of the microwave weapons and electo-shock devices being used on these protesters.

The Repub convention should have been held in Wyoming or Montana. They know how to deal with anarchist street trash. Minnesota and Wisconsin are just liberal wastelands. Most of the street trash come over from Madison Wisc.

dswilli   September 2nd, 2008 - 9:38 am

Great idea test EVERYTHING new on them. Especially the lethal stuff.

Gregory Scott   September 2nd, 2008 - 10:39 am

Bring back the draft.

ronski   September 2nd, 2008 - 11:17 am

Geez, you don’t REALLY want these scum wads in our military do you? I think the Taliban would be better than this trash.

What a great place to hose down those violent protestors with paintballs. It would certainly have helped the police officers out and make those criminal anarchists (not protestors), run for their lives. Nice work by the St. Paul Police Dept. Keep it up!

buster   September 2nd, 2008 - 3:16 pm

hmm…protesting for ‘peace’
in a rather violent way
just shows what kind of loonies there are on the left
and these are the wack jobs that support the dems?

While I feel the Democrats, due to their allegiance to Satan (How else can you explain the Kennedys,) are to blame for everything bad that happened since the Hindenburg, in good conscious I have to absolve the Democrats for these nutjobs.
Most of the are Anarchists, or at least they like to call themselves that. Mostly they are a mixture of street urchins and rich college kids just looking to touch the nostalgic era of the late 1960’s. If you talk to a few of them, you’ll find they are against everything, and in favor of nothing. They just want to destroy something and get beat up by the cops, so they can tell their grandkids how “The Man” came down on them.

If getting clubbed senseless by a cop is their ultimate goal, I would suggest the just keep speeding down Chicago side streets until they pulled over, roll down the window and ask the cop “What? All the donut shops closed?”.

Lou   September 2nd, 2008 - 6:33 pm

Scumbags. Please don’t think the twin cities is full of anarchists and communists. Usually this place is great. Thanks to some angry people they’ve tarnished my city’s name. Protesting is fine but angry people with no purpose other than to destroy property should not be tolerated. I say arrest all of those idiots.

Enzo   September 3rd, 2008 - 2:52 am

Someone needs to hand out free Dasani water bottles to these idiots…filled with rubbing alcohol…so they can ‘flush’ away the pepper spray, and get some real justice.

It is a real pity that great Americans have died to secure freedom for these anal pores of society.
