Today at the Republican National Convention, as the Ron Paul Delegates were taking a picture in front of the model White House inside the Convention Center, they were surrounded by Secret Service which proceeded to search the bags of all the delegates. They took any and everything related to Ron Paul including signs, buttons, videos, slim jims, cards, even books.
Alternate Delegate Dennis Rothacker from Florida said “We were done taking the picture when Secret Service started walking into the room and surrounded us. There were about 30 of them. When they searched my bags they took my Ron Paul sign and turned a deaf ear to my complains, they just walked away.”
Delegate Ron Warner from Fairbanks Alaska added that as he was walking into the convention center today with about 15 Revolution Manifesto books, 20 DVD’s for Delegates, 20 Ron Paul buttons and a handful of other things, we was stopped by security which called on an obviously important higher up, who directed all the materials to be confiscated. She told him, and I quote “You can’t bring that in here, this is Mc Cain territory”
Dennis, Ron and the other delegates report being openly followed by secret service. He says that they had been monitored from the beginning of the convention, but that now they are being shadowed constantly.
There are also reports of delegates being approached by security and told that they will be summarily thrown out if they leave their assigned chair.
Updated: @ 7:37 PM - EST
The alarm was sounded at 6:07 PM - EST when a text message was hurriedly sent from the convention floor by Republican delegate Dennis Rothacker to ‘Boris in Miami’.
“We just had a group shot of all the RP delegates and alternates, the secret service came and started searching everyone and took anything RP related. We got it on video though…”

Ron Paul delegates report that they have been shadowed by Secret Service since the beginning of the Republican National Convention at the Xcel Center, following the confiscation of their political materials they are now being surveilled openly with an agent assigned to each delegate. When one of the delegates asked if they could retrieve their property after the convention they were told, “No.” not satisfied with that answer the delegate tried to follow the agent to make additional inquiries, he was told this action was causing a disturbance and a security agent was told to stay with him for the rest of the evening. For their safety the Ron Paul delegation have decided to stick together as a group while approaching the media with their story.
Updated @ 9:32 PM - EST
McCain delegates at large have approached Ron Paul delegates throughout the day in attempts to seperate them from their all important delegate credentials. Adam Weigold, delegate from Minnesota, reported he has been approached at least five times by other Republican delegates supporting McCain-Palin who asked him to borrow his pass to go the bathroom. Nathan Hanson (MN) delegate and attorney suspects this is an organized effort by the GOP establishment.
The Ron Paul delegation will be staying at the Xcel Center until the end of the nights events around 11:00 PM - EST.
Updated: @ 1:08 AM - EST
Several Republicans attending the convention have reported to Daily Newscaster mass confiscation of bumper stickers, literature and paper signs such as, “Calling the GOP back to its Roots.” The GOP has put together an organized machine of federal security forces, McCain operatives, delegates, floor monitors and other staff creating an effective political ministry.

The GOP’s left leaning wing known as the neo-conservatives are using extreme measures to put, “Country First.”
Neocon loyalist for McCain are hounding any Republican delegate known to support the conservative priniciples of Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX). Delegates for Ron Paul are being kept silent, if they dare approach one of the microphones it is turned off and any attempt to discuss Ron Paul results in a threat of removal from the convention floor.

Unbelievable.
Oh, I believe it. Sadly.
that songbird mccain needs to be in a cage….
his ilk make hitler look humane….
no need to defend the statement…
their actions have confirmed what they are….
case closed…
We Need to get the video out immediately! Who has it? No time to waste.
Welcome to the future of America.
Those left in the GOP are not freedom loving peoples but fascists. All true conservatives should abandon the GOP and rally around a 3rd party. The Constitional and Libertarian parties should unite as one and provide the other major party ( Republicats) another choice. I vote for the Constitutional Party. Ron Paul should show us the way and we will follow.
The US obtained a great deal more from Nazi Germany after WWII than just Von Braun and ME262s. The US studied how a few well placed fantic “police” with unrestrained power (yes, the gestapo) can cower a nation.
The two party system is just a charade, you have no choice, you have no voice. There are only two viable courses of action, other than capitulation. Either non-violent politics of confrontation (see the film Ghandi, the non-violence was pretty much one sided and only succeeded due to the outrage of civilized people in England and elsewhere) or …
They are most likely not secret service. They are private security hired by the Republican party. There are 4 different security forces at the RNC. The Local police off the floor and on the floor there is private RNC force, the house and senate sergeant at arms, and the secret service. The Private force are mercenaries and have the job of keeping order on the floor the others are there to protect the candidates and politicians.
“Adam Weigold, Delegate from Minnesota, reported he has been approached at least five times by other Republican delegates supporting McCain-Palin who asked him to borrow his pass to go the bathroom.”
somewhat valid, considering how full of excrement most of the people at the RNC are.
Last night looked like a third reich fertility ritual.
Palin is cast as the pagan fertility goddess Dionysis, or Diana the goddess of the hunt.
They will have the young girls of this country birthing little soldiers for the country which comes first in no time!
Will someone PLEASE put those people, be they police, secret service or whatever, out of our misery.
I just love it when people pay criminals to break the law and then complain about it. Here’s a little clue: if you don’t like the murder, rape, torture and theft of your personal belongings committed by the Fed and its puppets, stop financing it.
HOW DARE THEY? WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE? IT’S THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION NOT THE MCCAIN CONVENTION…AND MCCAIN’S NOT EVEN A REPUBLICAN. RON PAUL IS THE ONLY LEGITIMATE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE IN DECADES. THESE PEOPLE BELONG IN PRISON. STINKING REPUBLICRATS.
@cyberian:
I have four kids and one on the way next year. I wasn’t there last night as I came home from the Rally yesterday, but I can tell you that in 20 years, I’ll have 5 more voters seeking to restore our God-given freedoms. I’m a Republican and what they are doing right now makes me sick. Yet another reason to homeschool and teach these children the Right way to live.
News Flash: We don’t live in a free country. Electronic voting machines can engineer any number of false votes. The Federal Reserve is a scam, and we have criminals in office. The media blackout against Ron Paul isn’t surprising, but the fact that so many people know about it and don’t do anything about it is. Both of the supposedly leading candidates have ties to the Council on Foreign relations which openly desires global government. Be prepared.
This is a total outrage.
Since when is showing support for another presidential candidate, one who competed fairly in the primaries and placed in the top five, out of line at a nominating convention? Why are our taxpayer dollars going to help fund this, when it’s just a McCain campaign commercial?
Contrast this with the Libertarian Party convention, where several candidates got to make their case to the delegates, and voting for the nominee on the convention floor (remember that idea?) took six ballots.
all those traitors from the military industrial complex will get their share of justice one day.
If that’s how those people are going to act, it’ll be no surprise at all if we end up with http://www.pinhead.gov a-gain….I’ll still take the job, 8 bucks an hour, I’ll fire a whole bunch of people, and we WILL have a balanced federal budget, and lots of people will hate me, but that’s ok, someone’s gotta bring the reforms, and that’s kind of what Ron Paul is about, reform, which probably explains why the campaign apparatchiks did what they did, there. Again, narrowminded pinheads. Hey, last offer, $8/hr, I work evenings and weekends and stuff…no priors, no DUI’s, no felonies or drug convictions, I’ll even send em a hair sample or whatever, no prior experience in politics, so no ‘friends’ to be concerned about in that regard, and I’ll bring the troops home from the middle east in a hot second, that’ll be my ‘platform’, troops home, balanced budget, 4 words, it’s a bumper sticker. You can print those for cheap, still, I think. Bert08
That’s crazyness. FederalJack.com for additional information!
I was at the convention on Day 3 and was not allowed to bring in a sign that said ” Calling the GOP back to its Roots”. Someone with me had to remove a bumper sticker that was on her jeans that said “Ron Paul - Hope For America” This convention was a joke as they would not allow anything in that was not pro McCain.
These treasonous, murdering despots need to be hunted and hung like Saddam!
Welcome to the United Soviet State of America. How did I get to where I am politically? Experiencing this same EXACT treatment at the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA literally profiled me because I have health problems from the anthrax vaccine and actually dared to say that my health problems are from the….anthrax vaccine. From then on, I got profiled and then a security detail for checking in for an appointment. Wasn’t even getting real healthcare, but derogatory remarks written about me because of my heresy of believing the anthrax vaccine is dangerous.
It made me realize that the government regards anybody who speaks any truth about its crimes as the enemy. If you are a patriotic Constitutionalist with a soul and a conscience, then YOU are the enemy in this “war on terror.”
If true, these agents should be smacked down hard. They are not following their charter. In fact, they are sworn against political interests. If they are confiscating property according to political interest, or bothering people for the same reason, then they are violating their ethical codes.
First things first: identify the person who is giving the order. Then, we can deal with the criminality and other offenses involved.
REVOLUTION is the Solution!!!
“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion…. And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms…. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” - Thomas Jefferson, in letter to William S. Smith, 1787
When peaceful Revolution is impossible,
Violent Revolution is inevitable!!! - John F. Kennedy
so this what it has come to. Ron Paul right again. if they got video then the youtube should be up soon.
260 delegates for Ron Paul. “Surrounded” by 30 rent-a-cops posing as Secret Service agents. Is that the correct description of what happened, with those numbers? Were the 30 goons armed? If not, might they perhaps like to try that “surrounding” maneuver again? 260 delegates now purposely staying together as a group might be ready this time.
When peaceful Revolution is impossible,
Violent Revolution is inevitable!!! - John F. Kennedy
Are you telling me your ready to take some of these bastards out! Sweet. Sign me up!!
I read the RNC had a squad of “blackhats” around looking for “troublemakers” too. People who black baseball hats in the convention. These black hats were baseball hats with white stars on them. May as well have put swaztikas around thier arms.
The GOP is a lost cause. Abandon the sinking fascist ship.
hi, i am from germany. from my point of view your usa is a police state with massive martial law tendencies and not a democracy any longer (btw what is that thing you are “exporting” to iraq and afghanistan?)
in 1919 we had had the “weimarer verfassung” (the german constitution after wwi) and it enabled this hitler-asshole to get to power. this was possible because that constitution was not bulletproof against facism. imagine the american constitution is as faulty - and no one has yet noticed it?
over the last 4 years i’ve thought about solutions for the american people and now i am convinced that you, the people will have to rethink and to rewrite your constitution to - once for all time - get rid of this whole bush-cheney-etal-nazi-bullshit-wankers.
the us is a wonderful country, but the world is fed up with its “save”-the-world-with-war-policy. everbody knows the us is raiding countries for oil like a thief with a gun and not to fight against non-existent terrorists. you, the people will have to change this picture in the world to regain solidarity and respect.
think about what could have been done constructively to the world and mankind with all that billions of dollars that were thrown out of the window for your illegal war in iraq.
alas, so much economic power and so little constructive responsible sustainable ideas.

cato
ps: sorry for my english
pps: ron paul is my favorite candidate, because he is a man who thinks - throw out both other idiots! you neither need an elvis nor a mummy, this time you need a thinker for president.
Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, the Green Party, Libertarian Party & Constitution Party are all ignored or marginalized by the Corporate War Party’s mass media. Although the aforementioned people & groups do not agree on many issues, I feel it will take a broad coalition to weaken the phony Republicrats. We really need to form an “American Citizens Alliance” in order to take the first step- - democratize the electoral process.
looks like all the patriots sleep late….lol…
Spread the word! These mutherfr’s belong in jail. Obviously organized by someone, all those security-type groups. There has to be evidence, especially with a video, that coercion occured, interfering with delegates’ rights.
We in the freedom movement need to keep the pressure on as many fronts as possible. We all know what needs be done. Just do it!
Actually cato, the Constitution prohibits about 90% of what the US Government does.
Get out while you still can!!! Good luck!
Unfortunately, those of us who knew the GOP had been subverted by the neo-con/McCain/whimp crowd were abandoned by Ron Paul in our hour of need, though we worked tirelessly for him.
All he left us was a rah-rah rally, which is just a party for the faithful, as if that is what we wanted instead of a candidate.
Sad, really…
give ron a chance
I hear that in 2012, the “party” is going to call out the dissenters on the convention floor and have them executed in the lobby. Saddam style baby!
Where’s the video???
Everyone needs to see it and FAST!!!
The ghost of Joseph Stalin is laughing hysterically.

Don’t tell me yall haven’t read the “Patriot Act” either! Peaceful demonstration and assymbly is now “un-lawful”
Now you know what is mean “free country?”
This searching is nothing…it’s just beginning…

Why did they not fight? Ron Paul Delegates didn’t resist? Why? This is unfair. The GOP will pay for this. Grrrrrrr I am going to break my keyboard like this……..
@jimmy: and so did the weimarer verfassung but …
Friendly opposition and dialog are no threat to McCain. His own heavy-handed crushing of it will do him serious damage though. The mainstream media can and possibly will get a hold of this, being as left-wing as they are, and do real damage to the Republicans. Bad move, John. Keep your apes under control.
Better his apes than a “civilian army” of nation of islam militants like obama wants to impose though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt2yGzHfy7s
Exactly what I would expect from FASCISTS. WRITE IN Ron Paul in November. Passive resistance is the only way Folks.
I agree with Bizfixer, where’s the video???
Let’s see the video
God Almighty.
Violation of our FIRST AMENDMENT right to FREE SPEECH is a violation of the US Constitution.
If this is how GOP operates, the leadership, and all those security personel who conspired to deprive the delegates of their political speech should be arrested.
They have violated, among other things, the RICO act, as they are conspiring to install a candidate that is not democratically elected, and have fixed this election.
How much more proof do we need?
It is time for the entire country to end this charade.
How much do people tolerate?
NAZI Germany is an example of how much was tolerated.
This nation has been gutted.
Our laws are meaningless.
International law is meaningless.
A nation without law, will not stand.
This action invalidates this 2008 election.
THERE IS NO MORE DEMOCRACY.
We have been taken over, and we are allowing this to happen.
It’s the end of the beginning. This stunt was the final insult to the Ron Paul 2008 campaign, but adds fuel to the fire for the broader-based Campaign for Liberty. Sign up today at http://www.campaignforliberty.com.
If “they” want to keep pushing the envelope, we’ll just push back harder until the Establishment realizes how badly they’re outnumbered.
What is the other side of this story? I’m sure the Ron Paul delegates did nothing, well maybe they were putting stickers on the White house, being loud and\or disruptive If it was a group they could have been blocking an exit and I’m sure they did not put up an argument when they were searched just calm and peaceful while so-called harassment was going on.
All of you just want something to complain about and can not wait for something to cry about.
Bunch of whiners, where is the video? It should be on the internet by now.
I don’t believe any politician is in it for me so I don’t take sides but all these comments on here come from a bunch of one-sided fools lets get both sides before we rush to judgement
LONG LIVE FREEDOM OF SPEACH (AS LONG AS IT WON’T OFFEND ANYONE)
The Secret Service must have changed their name to Al Qaeda. By taking freedom of speech items that do not affect the safety of other delegates the secret service just became more dangerous then any terrorist on earth.
Of course this is what happens when Secret Service agents have less respect and knowledge of the Constitution then your average immigrant. I say send them all to Guantanamo Bay for re-education and to make sure they actually have a brain.
The Corporations and fascists took over in 1980 with the casting of the movie actor reagan in the role of national Daddy. It has been downhill since. The theft in 2000 by the bush gang put the last nail in the coffin of what America once was. The republicans have always hated working people and done their best to keep them down. The democrats throw a few crumbs now and then.
I don’t get the big deal. There was probably a free speech zone set up about a mile from the convention. Why couldn’t the Ron Paul delegates just use that? I mean, the first ammendment has no place at the Republican convention. It doesn’t matter that they worked their asses off and spent a lot of money to get there all the while enduring the scorn of a party who wanted nothing to do with them. The only thing that matters is that the facists keep order at their convention.
You Ron Paul idiots need to get a life. Ron Paul is nuts and unelectable. We do not need you fruit loops in the Republican Party. Go home and smoke some more pot. subguns com
This is really scary. Be afraid people.
Rep - you get nazi
Dem - you get Islam
Both of the above are no win situations. God help us
please Lord.
I urge every decent person who is a member of the Republican Party to leave it now. There is no hope for it. As long as good people such as yourselves stay in it, you lend that totally fascist enterprise credibility which it does not deserve.
The only exception to this rule, and I admit that I am being selfish, is Ron Paul, a beacon of constitutional liberty in Congress.
I hope that all of you will join the Libertarian Party and support Bob Barr for president and other libertarian candidates. If all the decent people leave the Republican Party it will no longer be possible to conceal that it is a fascist organization which is determined to create a police state.
Our hardearned taxpaying dollars at work to serve the S.S. gestapo regime. Did you hear all of those people cheering Heil Hitler to Bush and McSame? I did…all in the name of “Patriotism”. That is just exactly what comrade Hitler did also. We will see how “patriotic” these people are when the soon depression comes and they won’t be able to get their own worthless money out of their Patriotic banks…LOL!!! What a bunch of loser idiots!
Let this be a motivator for all to join Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty. Republican convention may have been “McCain’s territory”, but from coast to coast, this was, is, and will forever be The Ron Paul’s Country.
As a Canadian and watching the news about the
Democratic & Republcan conventions, plus the police
goon tactics; i kind of think our parliamentary system
we inherited from Britain isn’t so bad after all.
I was a Republican consultant who now is working to put as many of the people I worked for in jail. Remember Duke Cunningham? He is the tip of the iceberg.
In 1995, McCain sent birthday regards, and regrets for not attending, to Joseph “Joe Bananas” Bonano, the head of the New York Bonano crime family, who had retired to Arizona. Another politician to send regrets was Governor Fife Symington, who has since been kicked out of office and convicted of 7 felonies relating to fraud and extortion.
The Bronfmans are the “godfathers” behind the political career of John McCain.
In 1976 a crusading Phoenix reporter, Don Bolles, was murdered by a car bomb after writing a series of stories exposing the organized crime connections of a wide-ranging number of well-known figures in Arizona, including one Jim Hensley. Five years later “Honest John” McCain arrived in Arizona as the new husband of Hensley’s daughter, Cindy. “From the moment McCain landed in Phoenix,” according to Charles Lewis of the Center for Public Integrity, “the Hensleys were key sponsors of his political career.” But the people behind the Hensley fortune are even more controversial.
McCain’s late father-in-law was the owner of the biggest Anheuser-Busch beer distributorship in Arizona—one of the largest beer distributors in the nation. But the mainstream media has had nothing to say about the origins of the Hensley fortune that financed McCain’s rise to power. The Hensley fortune is a regional offshoot of the big-time bootlegging and rackets empire of the Bronfman dynasty.
According to histories most decorated Marine General, General Smedley Butler, the United States was Fascist at the beginning of WWI and became a full “military-industrial complex” by the end of WWII. Most born after about 1920 in the United States are not able to think like free men think. That anyone would be shocked at this Republican behaviour only indicates that their knowledge of U.S. history and political development needs to become better informed. This petty action at Republican Convention is minor.

i thought the gop con. uses tax payer money….a lot…lol…
I’m very skeptical of confiscations by the Secret Service, as that’s not part of their job description. I would very much suspect other security types hired by the GOP. Either way, were looking at infringement of the Constitution’s 4th Amendment right “to be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects…” I say, find out who did this and sue the hell out of them!! Start a Chipin if necessary, but don’t let this go unchallenged!!

You are people just don’t get it! The country you are living in, look like exactly the way you created. You voted for these crooks, you finance them, you gave them the power, you don’t do shit about it! Why? Because the NFL, Oprah, and the other junks are more important for you than the future of your country! You the 85% of the population in this country are fully deserve all those things what will coming on you! Why? Because most of you are ignorant fools!
For those who advocate abandoning the Republican Party rather than joining with those of us who will be campaigning for liberty using the Republican party as a vehicle to do so, I’ll quote McCain (of all people, lol) in his acceptance speech:
“In America, we change things that need to be changed. Each generation makes its contribution to our greatness. The work that is ours to do is plainly before us. We don’t need to search for it…
If you find faults with our country, make it a better one. If you’re disappointed with the mistakes of government, join its ranks and work to correct them. …
Our country will be the better, and you will be the happier. Because nothing brings greater happiness in life than to serve a cause greater than yourself. ”
If we want our country to stop serving up candidates like McBama and McSame, we need to get actively involved. I suggest starting here for the training and support that will help you help us Restore the Republic.

Our delegates acted like adults, allowing the neocon babies to take the things that make them cry. They are worried that Ron Paul followers will embarrass them. That’s fine. Just wait…we’ll embarrass them at every turn the next 2-4 years, every single time they step out of line.
I, too, want to see the video.
Also, how did the delegates know they were Secret Service? Did the agents identify themselves as such? Or did the delegates make an assumption based on earpieces with coiled cords going down their collars into their shirts? This is a vital piece of information that needs to be cleared up.
I was struck by this,
“…The GOP’s left leaning wing known as the neo-conservatives…”
and would like to know how one could say that the ‘neo-conservatives’ had anything to do with the left. This would seem to depend on one’s understanding of left and right. Mine would not put ‘neo-conservatives’ to the left of anyone.
I take it this is just to try to explain the ‘neo-conservative’ phenomenon.
You won’t make friends on the left by doing so. If you are wanting to change anything as a conservative, a group which now seems to be one minority among others, won’t you need friends?
When the prison camps come, I got dibbs on the top bunk!
Steven Andresen - Your quandary about the origins and true nature of neo - conservatism is legitimate.

This is the result of President George W. Bush signing his Presidential right to abolish Habeus Corpus! Habeus Corpus was a law in our country for 100+ years, which required police or security, etc., to tell you what your CRIME IS first before arresting or searching! Now, in his last 4 years in office, Bush’s reversal of habeus corpus gave these security men the so-called right to “arrest” and “search” without any cause given verbally to the so-called “offenders” first!. How very sad. Oh, how we need to get on our faces and really PRAY that the living God Creator the LORD Jesus Christ would show mercy toward our sinful government, for I fear the U.S.A is on the verge of total and corrupt Martial Rule. These innocent Ron Paul supporters were wrongly arrrested (arrested literally means to “stop”. Then their private bags were searched, just like in WWII era Nazi Germany….”show me your papers! Hitler’s army said! I hope the videos will bring justice and prosecution to those thugs!!! II Chronicles 7: 14…best verse in all the KJV Bible to tell us Americans what we really need to do!!!
Welcome to the Socialist Soviet Republic Of Amerika,comrades.I would suggest you get off the internet,and start storing foods,medicines,ammo,and a few weapons(along with spare parts like barrels,recoil springs,firing pins,ect.)and start networking w/ like- minded rebels.Think Red Dawn,only now WE are the “Wolverines”,and “THEY” are the enemy.You better get started before the enemy starts taking the things you need to survive.The FEMA Concentration Camps are already built,and the plastic FEMA coffins have been delivered.This is not a test,repeat:THIS IS NOT A TEST!In order to survive,get off the net,and get your shit together NOW!
Well presented story and comments. A few of the broken-English folks are quite bright. I agree, Sally Shophappy and Sam Sportsection need to turn off the tube and turn on the self-awareness, that our country has been hijacked by the Neocon War Party.
A fellow named Lance Brown set up an expose PNAC site, google PNAC exposed and scroll way down for Ron Paul’s speech to Congress that exposes the neocon agenda quite eloquently.
Nice work people.
PEACE WILL SAVE THE WHIRLED!
However, I believe the coming revolution must not be fought with guns or violence. To print these ideas is unrealistic and can get you visited by some guys in suits, right quickly.
I will take no part in any violent activity except to protect myself, and I refuse to own any weapons.
Taking on the US police and military is just friggen’ CRAZY!

Lisa Mallory - the CFL is probably more packed with saboteurs than the offical Ron Paul campaign was. They have Ron Paul surrounded by sell-outs whispering contradictory things in his ears. CFL sounds more like the Trust Operation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust_Operation
Organize locally with those you know. CFL is just a sponge to soak up resources by well-meaning people who STILL think that throwing money at a problem will solve it.
That’s insane, people you see this it’s time for to kick some ass SS or no. If some insanity like this had happened when this country was founded these bastards would have found themselves hanging by their necks where they were caught. Damnit this IS NOT GOOD. WAKE UP AND RAISE HELL! SQUEEKY WHEELS GET GREASE
If the apparent Secret Service agents were really not police, but were identifying themselves as SS (ironic, isn’t it?), then that is a crime in and of itself. I suspect they were only dressing like SS and acting like SS, but stopping short of actually identifying themselves as such. The Republican Convention is a private party and they can toss people out if they want, but not under the guise of being cops.
They are communists ! To do that have to be anti America at least.
Hope you dont get Mccain as President he will rule you with an iron fist.
Gotta love those RepublioCons….Amerika, fuc ya! Freedom is the only way indeed.

It’s official: the Secret Service is a bunch of America haters and communist sympathizers. They’re acting way too much like Stalin’s secret police and not enough like patriotic Americans.
Grow up, actilng like spoiled children only defeats your
program. Keep people informed in a sensible way, not like a group of cry babies, your supporters of. Barack Obama in sheeps clothings. Educate the people in a
a dignified way, and don’t stay home and not vote as
when you do the real Marxist will win.
Question of time, question of choice, the day you loose your innocence.
Eh yes, the human being measures themselves well and only by its actions…, are you thus at this point naive, to have believed that all was only asset or to conquer, and the life, a long quiet river…???
Which great swindles:
it would thus be enough to be confessed, to make some “Aves Maria”, for being discharged of its sins…???
not to eat a pig, to pray during hours with knees and while beseeching, and to make I still do not know which sacrifices, to be promised with I do not know which paradise…???
Useless that I continue, I know very well that I will not be able to convince you, but if a doubt or a reflection, I had made emerge, it would be already a good great step, the first towards something different, and who is called: compassion.
And to finish, and by inviting you to well looking at this video http://www.dailymotion.com/commented/search/palestine/video/x21f2n_ce-que-font-les-sionnistes-en-pales_events , I will say to you that me, I plead guilty, for an infinite quantity of reasons for misfortunes of all these people, and that never I will accept in some form, being comforted or being forgiven…
PS: this is shurely a last chance you have, to make the right choices now, like informing others and voting all for Ron Paul (would be normal, as he his the only one against the wars…), and maybe…my last support for american people… hope you understand…
Name calling of the Republican Party is inappropriate. Ron Paul is not a Republican, but a Libertarian using the Republican Party to promote himself. He was not there as a Republican, but a Libertarian looking to disrupt the Convention. That is not fair. If he was an honorable, trustworth, truthful person, he would run as a Libertarian and go to that Convention.
From Texas
This is outrageous! Add to this all of the protestors and the press who were physically abused by the police, arrested, and had their belongings confiscated.
To everyone who didn’t vote for Ron Paul: Thanks a lot! This is your fault!
If they didn’t think Ron Paul had a chance, then why did they go after his delegates like attack dogs? That in itself says a lot.
If the SS did it it might be illegal. They don’t have any control over that stuff. A lawsuit should be considered.
Did they get their stuff back?
I think that the GOP fears that we are going to bring the GOP back to the roots.
Goodbye facist neocons!
Would stuff like this take place at a *Libertarian* Convention??? No way, Jose.
Above a comment asked if they got their stolen stuff back. And would there be a lawsuit. I hope so!
Mc Cain should have been sued for copyright violations when he used offensive language to the tune of “Barbara Ann.”
Click my name, see my blog.
This is outrageous, but not surprising. The neocons will resort to anything to suppress Ron Paul’s message and hide the truth from the American people.
And they get 16.8 million tax dollars for their convention to do this. I have much more respect for the Ron Paul delegates now, and much less respect for McLame.
Welcome to the People’s Republicans of China.
Canada is looking pretty good right now. Japan might be an option too.
Why didn’t anyone ask those secret service guys why they aren’t following their oath of office. This is a convention and you did have a right to vote, so they were inhibiting free speech, right to vote, and right to assemble.
Further, WE HAVE NOT LOST AMERICA, BECAUSE WE HAVEN’T EVEN BEGUN TO FIGHT TO GET IT BACK YET. That day is apprently just around the corner and I don’t think they want that when these neocons are planning for two more wars AND MCCAIN ANNOUNCED LAST WEEK WE ARE GOING TO NEED A DRAFT TO FIGHT THOSE WARS.
Refuse to go, WHAT IF THEY HAD A WAR AND NO ONE SHOWED UP TO FIGHT IT????? hahahaha That would be the end of that. We all have to take a stand somewhere and they simply want to use our bodies as fodder to walk on when we are killed to get to the enemies natural resources so they can steal them like they did in Iraq.
No thanks. the republicans have killed themselves. I used to be a republican but am now reregistering as an independant.
OH, forgot to mention, Canada is refusing asylum to AWOL and deserters…. they are also now fascists as well.
I’m a vietnam era veteran and not allowed to vote. Called to obtain the appropriate form. Was told to go on line which I did and printed out the form. When I was on the form with the County person she asked what party I was with. I told her it was none of her business buy I was voting Constitution Party. Rather than receiving a Voter Registration card I received a visit from the IRS. They claim I didn’t file for years 2000, 2001, & 2002. They are right on one count. I didn’t since there is NO LAW requiring me to file. Look up Tom Cryer who is an attorney from Louisiana. Just shows how fascist/communistic we’ve become in spite of the Consitituition.
Does anyone not understand….RON PAUL?
Vote all of them out.
Nov 4 is almost here.
Get rid off all encumbents.
Send a message.
One of the most sickening parts about the convention was actually John McCain’s speech. How did they get people to applaud lines like “Fight with me.” Was there some kind of instruction to the delegates telling them when to applaud?
Most sickening was John McCain’s call for people who want “change” to JOIN the military and WORK for the federal government. He was basically recruiting Republican brownshirts to seek federal employment, since everybody who is fighting for true change is more likely to be on a terror watch list than they are to obtain federal employment (which shouldn’t be the goal, anyways).
McCain’s acceptance speech was interrupted by a CodePink anti-war person, and as McCain was having his facist, storm-booted nazi thugs drag her out of the convention, he said into the microphone to “…pay no attention to the static…”
Isn’t it DISGUSTING to know that one of the two fascist stooges selected as our next pResident, thinks that the American anti-war sentiment — which is the MAJORITY of Americans — that that sentiment is just “static”!
As our current VP has said, I would say to McCain “F^CK YOU!”.
To “Carole”–
Ron Paul is the only real Republican who ran in the primaries. If you really believe in personal freedom, economic and social, Ron Paul is the only rational choice at this point. Vis-a-vis your comments regarding the disruption of the Beer Hall Putsch in St. Paul, there are precious few opportunities for exposure to the media; there was very little choice but for RP to run as a republican. Do me a huge favor- read “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” and tell me if you see any similarities. I’m not kidding. Read it.
They the “elite feeling” are afraid of the Truth that Ron Paul stands for, the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The person who ordered that attack on freedom needs to be trialed and bannish to a country of there belief. We have an enemy within our Country in a level of power they should not have.
Police State in the works! Mccain is insane! Election will be stolen! Soon we will have another Dictator! No one is looking at the lies they are tellling? We will be a third class country soon! We must get rid of this people, the Federal Reserve and the Neocons! Can we do it??????
FBI, CIA and Fema are against us. Ron Paul is a good American a hero, so was Kennedy, other US President kill trying to make change and go against the Secret Society.
It doesn’t surprise me a bit after my experience as a Ron Paul delegate at our district caucus in the 11th Legislative District in Washington State. After the caucus, several others and I were slandered in Sound Politics public blog by the 11th District Chair Ruth Gibbs.
Doug Paris who heads our local Reagan Wing reported on how the district leaders manipulated the caucus here: http://tinyurl.com/6yan4z
And here is 11th District Chair at her best:

One can only imagine the tricks being pulled at the RNC.
Sadly , these same people doing the dirty work claim to be Christians yet they use every dirty trick in the world to attack Peaceful and Constitution loving citizens… many of us Veterans who served our country honorably.
By their behavior it is no wonder that many people have turned from Christianity since they see so many others who claim to be Christians behaving in a hypocritical and contrary manner to how Christians should really act towards others, whether it be locally, nationally or globally. These people get drunk on power and the next thing you know the first and second Great Commandments get tossed right out the window along with our Constitution and Bill Of Rights.
Their behavior doesn’t surprise me though considering that the same leaders who they support (both Democrats and Republicans) have been caught on hidden camera worshiping the Canaanite demon Moloch in Bohemian Grove and sacrificing effigies of children to him for over the last one hundred years.

It is time for those American’s who remain loyal to the Constitution, Republic, and Rule of Law to come together as one unit. It is time for civil disobedience.
Ten of thousands of young men and women sacrificed their young lives so that we, the American people, could enjoy a freedom and a way of life that no other company enjoyed. Under the Constituion and the Republic, America rose to be the greatest nation known to the civilized world and the thought that there are those that would simply allow that freedom to disapate without so much as a struggle is absolutely neausating.
As sad and repulsive as it may sound, it may well be time for another civil war.
May God bless and protect those who will stand and fight for freedom, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and condemn to hell those who would destroy it.
Michael N. Kashouty / Patriot to the Constitution & Republic
This is just one of many reasons why many-many Americans have committed themselves to campaigning and voting for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party!
I can’t wait until they get their come uppins! viva la libertad viva america!
it’s not me who’s gonna hand them out, but they are handing them out to themselves!
Ron Paul, consider joining the democratic party. They won’t silence you, and you would be surprised how many of your supporters are democrats.
You’re wasting your time, all of you. You are in the Republican party and thats all the GOP wants from you. They want that affiliation, they want to keep you pigenholed into voting for THEIR folks. Ron Paul is the equivalent of Alex Jones in their minds.
Stop wasting your time, join the democratic party.
“Country First” which country? If it’s the United States then why not say so; “USA First” or “America First”. My gut tells me that they are referring to another country.
A crony of mine thinks it is a bullshit claim. Does anyone have photos, audio or video of the searching?
After seeing what they did to their own delegates can you imagine what they would do to any normal American? How could anyone vote these neocons into power for another 4 years?
It’s time, to put in U.S. Army terminology, to cut out the bull****, and restore an America built upon those who gave their lives to ensure a nation that was intended for all, be they immigrants, native Americans, et al. The neocons (psychopaths, i.e braindead), had better wake up. Their time is coming to a close. It’s time for a consciousness revolution.
Are you ready, or do you wish to wait for a messiah? You are the messiah en masse.
What is the difference between a Capitalistic government or Communism/Ditatorship??
Communism/Dictatorship is ruled by the militants.
Capitalistic is ruled by corporations.
Who’s ready to begin the “NEW REVOLUTION”!!!
Sitting around and complaining gets nothing done.
It’s time to take action!
You could prosecute and lock up bush, cheney and all the neocons, you’ll only be nailing the puppets to the wall. Who’s pulling the strings, eh?
good point, Cale T. the ones pulling the strings: rothschilds, rockefellers, morgans. can anyone add to the list of undesirables?
How do I go about getting permission to re-post this on my website?
Love, Hope, Peace, & Christ Is With Us All,
Cal-el
Permission granted, Cal Jennings. Thank you for your interest in the story.
No one should be surprised at the Gestapo tactics instituted by the Secret Service. remember their initials ARE SS.
bush has completely endorsed Fascism and turned the U.S. into a Dictatorial Police State. McCain promises to not only keep it that way but to add to the continued suppression of Us, The People.
If we do not demand the restoration of our Civil/Constitutional Rights lost under the bush Regime, specifically the I, IV, V, VI and XII Amendments, we are in grave danger of permanently becoming the Fascist Dictatorship bush has always wanted America to be.
Democracy is dead.
All I can hope for is Cause and Effect to kick in pretty strong here soon…our country can not get away with this kinda stuff forever.
Nazi Germany has risen from the ashes and is alive and well in AMERICA the good old US of A.
Sickening behavior for a country boasting democracy!!!!!
They are forcing us into a corner that only blood can free us from. It’s their fault but they will say it is ours.
The GOP behavior sends a clear and engaging message that resonates with all Americans who are fed up with a criminal administration’s trampling of the Constitution and it’s intention to further diminish our civil liberties.
The USA is in real trouble; it faces collapse at virtually all corners of its foundation and unless this country can unite against its common enemy which is using the media as its main weapon, the vision will be lost, the nation will fragment and waiting wolves will rush in to devour the strays.
Unfortunately Americans still don’t get it. Their country has apparently been overrun by an enemy already inside the gate, an enemy in firm control of the political framework. One has only to remember that 3,000 people were mass murdered live on TV on September 11, 2001. Once you understand that 911 was orchestrated by elements within and without the US military complex, you come to realize that America’s control hierarchy has been seized.
All key positions in government, military, law enforcement and the media are filled by enemy operatives, interlopers who masquarade as Americans. A war by stealth via the media is now waged against America. Look around; toxic poisons in everything, draconian laws, epidemic corruption, the currency debauched. This isn’t coincidence; this is intentional assault by the enemy.
Americans are TV hypnotized, drugged up, dumbed down and so utterly dependent that in general they are incapable of critical thought and are disinterested in discovering how the media is adversely affecting their lives. The mainstream media is the enemy’s leading weapon; it’s being used to subjugate the truth and turn Americans against themselves.
The USA is under siege by an International gang of communist banksters who will stop at nothing to destroy America’s infrastructure; they will steal everything they can, poison the populace, imprison those who object and legislate laws to legitimize their crimes.
Most all able-bodied troops, the National Guard, the Border Guard and even retired ex-military men nearly 50 years old with grand-children have been sent overseas to a no-win conflict that removes their ability to protect Americans here at home. The stage is set for attacks on an unprotected America the same as we see happening to the Iraqis.
The US Government and its control hierarchy has been compromised — it’s the only thing that makes sense, especially considering all the atrocities and injustices perpetrated against Americans from a system that is supposed to protect them.
From poisons in our air, water, food, medicines, clothing, building products and even children’s toys - to blatantly obvious crimes by politicians who legalize torture, condone illegal search and imprisonment, dismantle the Constitution and bleed the country dry financially, the intent and the results all clearly point to what is happening - the USA is being subdued by enemy infiltrators who have managed a coup d’état and taken over the controlling offices of federal, state and local governments.
The saddest part is that few people seem to notice or even care.
SOLUTION:
Come to know that the media was a complicit partner in the mass murder of 3000+ people on 911 and that the talking heads on TV are but intelligence operatives working against America and given to its destruction.
Regardless of what some may say, aspire to embrace those who are tasked with protecting our communities at the root level. We need more allies and fast. What we don’t need is to alienate ourselves from the military and law enforcement. Those who would tell you different are attempting to further fragment our society, which is part of the divide and conquer strategy.
Be patient and befriend police officers, young people and the military. Look for ways to approach them with the truth and help inform them about what is happening. Albeit they are somewhat brainwashed by the media, by their superiors and by pressure from ill-informed peers, they are still Americans; they still have families and children to protect.
If you want your country back, you’re gonna have to fight for it.
There is one thing the enemy fears most about America; and that’s 300+ million people with their eyes wide open, alert to the scam and looking for the perps who have disrupted their way of life.
For the murderers of 911, for the worthless dogs who ordered genocidal attacks against Iraq, for the enemy operatives who wage war against America all while wrapping themselves in the flag - a simple task is at hand: arrest, convict, collect names of accomplices, execute. Repeat as necessary till symptoms subside.

Well, that really tears it for me. I was thinking of voting for the McCain ticket due to Sarah Palin. Not now. I will be writing in Ron Paul on my ballot in November!
How dare the Secret Service “STEAL” a persons property. But, sad to say it is no surprise because the very thing Ron Paul has been standing for, “individual rights and liberty” are being gutted by our so-called representatives on both sides of the aisle for decades.
I have to vote my conscience because otherwise I do not want to be placed in the position of voting for the “lesser of two evils.” McCain is showing that he is evil — as well as the Republican Party when they tread on individual liberty!!!! My conscience tells me to vote for restoring our constitutional protections and that means voting for Congressman Ron Paul for President of the United States.
The Secret Service (do they take the oath?) have shown themselves that they will act as jack-booted thugs and puppets to whomever they are working for at the moment.
Ron Paul is right as rain and his book “Revolution” is also. I’ve read his book and I place it up there with Frederic Bastiat’s, ‘The Law.’
We need to take back our country, our liberties and restore our U.S. Constitutions protections!!!
Write in Ron Paul’s name on your November ballot!!!!
LOL, listen to yourselves. Neocons, you guys sound as violent and off the edge as the people you accuse.
I wonder if this will be posted.
cool it was.
Vote for Obama!
I’m going to vote for someone MUCH closer to my conscience and that will be Bob Barr. I hate to see Obama win, with his brand of higher taxes, socialism, and blended Muslim/Christian religious beliefs, but the Republican party is no longer fit to exist, nor is the Democratic party for that matter. Until Americans, en masse, realize what the Democrats and Republicans REALLY are, we are doomed! So be it then.
Not surprising. Palin will fit right in-she made all of her staff and people in gov’t positions sign a loyalty oath or they were fired.
Time to start packing I am sad to say we have lost our country to Mc Cain and his new puppy.
PS you might want to remember that during democratic presidencies the country did well financially, we broke out of recessions, the deficit was reduced and we actually could live on hour earning - I am sad to hear that some people still think there is some big muslim conspiracy out there re: Obama He isn’t my perfect cup of tea but we certainly can’t endure more of Bush and the repubs.
When you have a chance go to the Wasilla home town newspaper and read what is posted there and in their comments about Palin - Mc Cain is lame and scarey but this woman is just evil incarnate.
Stop complaining. Place the Secret Service agents under arrest for theft and for violating your first amendment rights when they confiscate your property.
If they resist arrest when you advise them of their arrest and their Miranda rights, you may escalate up the force continuum until they submit to your arrest.
WHAT THE… This has happened before, … - To get up to speed, checkout criticalunity.org !
Vote for YOURSELF! - Obamma is on the same team as all the other globalists!
“PS you might want to remember that during democratic presidencies the country did well financially, we broke out of recessions, the deficit was reduced and we actually could live on hour earning -” - by Sharon Johnson
I respect what you believe, but do not agree. Based on my personal experience, the last time the economy was doing good was thanks to Ronald Reagan. And it took him a couple of years to turn it around. The couple of presidents that came right after him, benefited from what he started, nothing more.
We actually had a balanced budget and a prosperous economy in our lifetime, but the Democrats and especially the Republicans blew it! They most definitely need to WAKE UP before it is too late for all of us financially.
Remember it takes years to turn around a nation in as much debt as we are now.
I would suggest to you that the Republicans “know” they cannot win in 2008 ‘fairly’. By running the country into debt, it pretty much guarantees that anyone who follows, anyone, will not be able to recover in 2 years, 4 years or even 6 years. The citizens of this great country can no longer afford the political party politics of either party. Financially they are both ruining us!
While we cannot recover quickly, we MUST begin NOW or our children (everyone’s children even the Republicans and Democrats) are in financial jeopardy. If we start now, persist in 2012, perhaps by 2016 we can fix this mess, at least I have hope and you should too!
When a married couple cannot afford the American Dream of home ownership because their two adult salaries do not generate enough money to make the monthly mortgage payment, even the most zealot religious conservative on the right should stand up and take notice. Because you share the blame for this your political party has been in power for more then 8 years now… Your party is also playing politics.
Perhaps the conservative right is going out of their way to promote alternative lifestyles where multiple adult partners of both sexes live together so that they can afford the American Dream, however somehow I doubt this. (Notice I did not mention marriage to avoid that legal pit fall.
How many salaries does it take to afford the monthly payment for an average house in your area, well that is how many adults better start living together to do it!
You don’t like that, well stop complaining and do something about it! Because financially what other choice are you leaving for me thanks to your partisan party politics (this applies to both Democrats and Republicans, but especially the Republicans…finan
The last sentence was meant to read:
“Because financially what other choice are you leaving for me thanks to your partisan party politics (this applies to both Democrats and Republicans, but especially the Republicans…financial conservatives my behind! Your words say it, but your actions show your words to be lies…you are no longer the party of Reagan!)”
I do not want anyone to think this site ‘censors’, that would be wrong as I do not believe that they do.
