Nice try, but I am not stuck here I can leave anytime I want as could the socialists who want the government to take care of them from cradle to grave and have me pay for them. Most of the protesters will be there to cause trouble, the real protesters I see on street corners around town seem sincere to voice their opinions without destroying property or impeding my right to go about my business. As for looters SOS!!

Spot the logic holes in the agenda for the DNC protesting-anarchists.
Quote: End the Occupations March and Rally — West Steps of the Colorado State Capitol Building, August 24, 9am
END THE OCCUPATIONS No more free pass for the Democrats. Join R68 and others as we march to end all illegal imperialist occupations in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Hawaii, North America, and others. The Dems have the power to put an end to the United States’ illegal colonizations and wars, but they will not without pressure from the people. Join us as we create that pressure and say:
NO MORE! NOT IN OUR NAME! BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!
The March will begin at the WEST STEPS OF THE CAPITOL and end on Speer Blvd in front of the Pepsi Center.
Speakers (Alphabetical):
Ida Audeh - Palestinian Refugee
Kathleen Cleaver - Black Panthers
Ward Churchill - Long-time Author, Activist, and Scholar
Mark Cohen - Re-create 68 Alliance
Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. - Prisoners of Conscience Committee
Larry Hales - World Worker’s Party and Re-create 68 Alliance
Larry Holmes - Troops Out Now Coalition
Ron Kovic - anti-war activist, veteran and author of Born On The Fourth of July
Cynthia Mckinney - Green Party United States Presidential Candidate
Glenn Spagnuolo - Re-create 68 Alliance

Anarchy is best understood as "opposition to hierarchy". It can be quite organized indeed, whereas chaos simply means disorder.

Similar thing - funny how even anarchists have to have somebodyin charge to get things going.

Looks like Westboro Baptist Church is planning their own protests for each of the conventions.
I'd like to see footage of WBC and the anarchists protesting next to each other, considering their conflicting viewpoints. That could get messy.

North America? What? Are they talking about the drug troops in Mexico?

Lets see. The Black panthers and Ward Churchill. I think I have seen enough to make up my mind.
The re-create 68 people don't seem so bad. They want to non-violently throw out the current parties. I can agree with that. They even have a statement of non-violence against humans. I can support that too. They do get a little bit sideways in there when they start talking about the evil corporations. Now lets see how they do with their statement of non-violence.

Are these people serious??? Quote: ...The day kicked off with a hearty breakfast provided by the local Food Not Bombs and then jumped right into what was to be an 8 hour meeting. Introductions, including preference for gender pronouns, were given, followed by an update from the local organizers... What does that even mean?!

Final Call to Action: GenderF#*k the RNC!
Quote: One a separate note, our crew will also be assembling dozens of pink and blue masks to compliment the wickedly sexy costumes we hope out-of-towners are preparing. The Revolting Queers are planning to reclaim Gay Space and the Twin Cities Avengers are gathering as many safer sex supplies they can get their hands on! I am not sure what it means to be GenderF#*ked... but I am sure that I don't like it. I hate gross naked people in public. I hate even more gross naked people fornicating in the streets.

Hey, we get puppets! You can make them at the convergence center!
Quote: The Coalition has planned a large permitted march for the first day of the convention (September 1) while the RNC Welcoming Committee (an explicitly anarchist and anti-authoritarian group) has bottom-lined a variety of logistical issues including housing, food, and a convergence center (a space for trainings, meetings, puppet making, etc) for the protests.
