Well said!

Goodman was coming to the aid of two of her producers, where they were assaulted and arrested at a parking lot. So the officers were defending a parking lot from pedestrians? Spurious.

Most frightening and auspicious is the pre-emptive strkes on some assembling pre-convention. This is thought police, nothing more.

Imagining anti-authoritarian action is now a crime in the U.S.

Get used to more "militarized scenes" in Amerika.

Daily events in the U.S. are profoundly disturbing, lately. Perhaps I should go back to getting news from MSM.....

Are you citing this as evidence that Goodman and Greenwald are Republican moles or unwitting dupes of the RNC?

... trepidatious of proclaiming it out loud.

Adnoto is a Martian.

A Tampa man has discovered a new form of WMD. Homeland Security needs to remove this widespread menace from our society:

A 22-year-old suspected truck burglar made a dirty mistake after he tried to hide inside a portable toilet on Saturday. Tampa police said the man broke into two pickup trucks at a parking lot and the owner of the second truck fought the suspect and chased him to a nearby construction site.

The suspect tried to hide in the Port-O-Let, but the victim found him and turned it over, covering him in huge amounts of human waste.

Think of the damage that could be done with the human waste in all those unsecured port-a-pots everywhere.

Story link on my name.

Second was the large anti-war march led by Iraq Veterans Against the War. Again, zero coverage of that by Glenn Greenwald & friends.

I already explained this. I'm being paid to suppress news reports of their involvement in the march, as - I suspect is Amy Goodman. Besides that, I have a hidden agenda that is advanced by making sure that that part of the march is blacked out, so of course I'm not going to report it. That's pretty obvious - nothing mysterious about it.

I accept, arguendo, that you hate policemen the way that I hate Democarcy Now! That's okay.

I never said any such thing, nor do I hold such a belief (unlike your freely admitted dislike of Democracy Now! which clearly has bearing on your credibility to judge whether its producers are honest). If you have to argue your case in this intellectually dishonest manner, it's clearly not much of a case.

There's video of Nicole Salazar's arrest. Why don't you watch it? It's actual evidence of what happened. Then maybe you can make an argument about real facts, not presumptions that serve your agenda.

I am citing it as evidence of highly biased coverage, which I think anyone can see if they look at the record leading up to the DNC and the RNC.

I would say that the two most significant and newsworthy protests were the Iraq veterans march and the anti-poverty encampment protest on Harriet Island. The latter was broken up by police, with very little coverage or discussion anywhere - except in the local Star-Tribune:

http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/conventions/27640039.html

About 20 members of a group planning to march on Tuesday outside the Xcel Energy Center during the Republican National Convention set up an encampment on St. Paul's Harriet Island on Thursday. Hundreds could be staying there next week, according to the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign.

No interviews with anyone from that? No interest?

Billy Bragg at Harriet Island Monday.

Last update: September 1, 2008

Organizers of Monday's Take Back Labor Day festival -- on Harriet Island within earshot of the Xcel Energy Center -- carefully avoided billing the event as a protest concert. None of the 10,000 or so attendees, though, were surprised to find out that's exactly what it was.

Minneapolis indie-rap star Slug, of Atmosphere, wore the same Obama T-shirt he bared on David Letterman's show. Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello brought out Iraq Veterans Against the War and called for George Bush to face a war-crimes tribunal. And country-rocker Steve Earle led a sing-along to end the war, which at first wasn't loud enough.

No coverage of that either? That's biased news coverage, and it sure doesn't seem to serve anyone's agenda but the Republicans - or maybe the ideologically driven leftists just hate the Democratic Party so much that they want to see them lose the election, regardless of the consequences - a pyyrhic victory?

I thought it was Soros paying Goodman, who was paying you but out of her Ford Foundation swiss account. The subcontracting must be a headache for the accountants.

I saw the videotape (better if they hadn't taped it) and if I were her attorney that's exactly what I'd be telling Amy her story was and to stick to it.

For the record, it was me who said it looked like "she" was following orders, but I wasn't talking about Amy Goodman. I was talking about Nicole Salazar, the producer who was arrested before Amy.

I appreciate your sense of humor and the person below who posted links to Democracy Now's reporting on the Vets at the RNC and hope you will forgive those of us (if not just me?) that are suspicious of everything! Everything. Hasn't always been that way but this administration has spooked me good.

Keep up the good work everyone, appreciate it, no offense.

I haven't seen the video of Nicole Salazar's arrest.

Link please?

I want to see it. I have no idea what that was about.
