Gov. Pawlenty defends handling of RNC protesters- Sept 3 '08

[cjm608]

he is a dirty, filthy man. my opinion.

If they had warrants, they refused to show them.

[RonbeauxWayne]

Yes, those reporters and photographers were really dangerous...to the cops. They might show what was going on and we can't have that.

Welcome to Amerikka. Don't forget your swastikas.

Tim's the man. How dare Amy goodman call herself press. Youtube press. Doesn't count.

"found weapons" Tim Pawlenty lies blatantly here, but of course the media is not going to check it out, because its good enough for them that Pawlenty says it.

Also it apparently is not enough to arrest the "violent protestors,"(sometimes known as agent provacateurs ie undercover police) but also anybody in their vicinity, and anybody who refuses a "lawful order" (ie. shut up and stay in the free-speech zone)

Pawlenty is a sore loser. McCain took him up to the mountain top and then threw him off it and picked Sarah Palin instead.

[Mmmmmmmbacon]

I saw journalists arrested. What property had they destroyed?

And from another video I saw they found lamp oil, gasoline, hatchets and other things people keep in their garage. What probable cause?

This overkill is OK, but the crazy, weapon storing, minor F*&%king Branch Davidians were just practicing their religion and the FBI were over the top?

How about some consistency here?

This thug was also on McCain's short list to become VP. The Republican Party has turned the greatest nation on earth into a police state. I hope to God we can right the wrongs they've done and get this country back on the right track again. Pawlenty is one of many who needs to be voted out of office at the next opportunity.

[ANGLEBOOT]

As so do I. Good job do guys, but next time crack them in the head with your stick then tell them to move back.

[alarmhtx]

Boo! Pawlenty is a big thug.
