Amy goodman on with Thom Hartman now

[MiniMe]

[Moochy]

1. Essential listening...

Looking for threads on the pre-emptive raids...

[Ichingcarpenter]

2. Pretty nasty story on real jack booting fascist cops attacking the press

I'm listening now.

[WA98296]

4. Can you recap, just tuned in and they've gone to break

[Moochy]

11. Most chilling anectdote came in the first 5 minutes

Amy explained how a protester who was not offering any resistance was manhandled and forced to the ground by several riot cops.
The protester had his head slammed repeatedly into the curb while his hands were cuffed.
This all happened on a street between two cafes with open seating.
The restaurant crowds full of republicans stood and applauded the riot cops actions, cheering loudly.

This is your republican party America.

[Cassandra]

18. We need some of these protesters to dress up as...

Ben Franklin, Paul Revere and Thomas Jefferson. Maybe then the repukes could stretch their little lizard brains to get the point.

[Moochy]

6. They raided a videographer group that films riot cops at demonstrations

( This segment is kind of like Keith Olbermann on The Soup. )

Glenn Greenwald on the preemptive raids:

One of the most interesting (and encouraging) stories at either of these conventions is how hordes of mostly young independent journalists, videographers and bloggers have been using new technologies to report intrepidly and insightfully on what has been taking place here in Minnesota. Jane Hamsher has some trenchant observations about those developments and their implications -- here.

3. Thanks!

[demmiblue]

5. This is absolutely chilling.

[Bozita]

7. This is MUST LISTEN stuff!

Beyond scary.

My impression of cops has changed. But they don't give a shit, do they?

8. Police using pepper spray and firing rubber bullets at point blank range

Some of the protestors were badly beaten. One girl's shirt was ripped off, leaving her completely naked from the waist up. These police are nothing but dirty common criminals and deserve to be arrested by the people.

13. K & R: *THE* important story of this convention.

The sides are drawn.

Which one are you on?

[MiniMe]

14. They were showing their press credentials and saying they were with the press

and they still took them out. It's a great interview.

[MiniMe]

15. Damn, the board is moving quickly today!

[Moochy]

16. Way more important than the Palin Drone

19. What are the names of the Judges who signed the 'search' warrants?

They are enemies of liberty.
