If GOP thugs attack Dem. Conv., they can get a total clampdown for RNC
...which would 'kill two birds' with one stone, from the Rove terror-team perspective. One, the Kerry-Edwards message would be buried in the Reichwing 'coverage' in Boston and two, Bush would have an 'excuse' to disallow any protests in N.Y. at the end of August.

Not gonna fly....

1. I agree
If there are disruptive Republican demonstrations in Boston, any public demonstrations by Republicans should be banned in N.Y. as well.

:evilgrin:

2. Exactly what I expect to happen. GOP operatives WANT chaos in Boston
so they can shut down NYC around their convention center. They'll justify expanding their "security" zone.

4. BTW, here is a list of 'triggers' that the Bush dictatorship may use...
to try to thwart/shut-down the elections:

CLG's strategy in case of stolen elections: Part 2, The Revolution Will Be Webcast! --by Michael Rectenwald, CLG Founder and Chair "What are the TRIGGERS, what 'election' events will trigger the Grand Refusal? The following list is by no means exhaustive. The Bush regime may very well alter their approach to stealing the election this time. But, this is a list that will guide us... The Real Revolution was against the people and the Constitution and took place in 2000 and continues to this day." http://www.legitgov.org/mike_essay_rev_will_be_Webcast_072104.html

Part I is here:

3. Unfortunately, that's true but ...
if the Dem. Convention gets attacked, Shrub's going to have a lot of explaining to do! His campaign is based upon the idea that he is the only person who can fight terrorism and keep us safe.

He's had three years to make us safer. The security level at the convention is going to be extremely high. The Department of Homeland Security has declared the convention a National Security Special Event, which means many federal, state and local agencies will work together. (Source: MSNBC)

Millions of dollars, countless resources and months of preparation have gone into the security plan. If it fails, how can he possibly maintain credibility as our protector? If his Homeland Security team can't even secure a building that contains members of the United States Congress, then what good is it? How competent is Bush* as a leader if he can't even mobilize our best resources to secure our country?

I know ... the sheeple probably won't give it that much thought. They'll simply cower in fear and ignore the fact that the man who claims he is their only hope for security has failed yet again. :eyes:

In any case, I still think Bush has painted himself into a corner on this issue. And he won't be able to blame Clinton for it. The question is ... will anyone hold him accountable this time?
