"Restraint - RNC 2008 Protest Compilation"

The single most important site of the day, and hopefully for a long time to come. Great work!

I was glued to my PC for days. Revolutionary stuff. A live, real time, unedited stream is how I viewed most of the events that unfolded thanks to the young people 'out there' with cameras. MSM should be deeply ashamed.

"The deal required the Republican Party's host committee to buy insurance covering up to $10 million in damages and unlimited legal costs for law enforcement officials accused of brutality, violating civil rights and other misconduct."

'Normally it is the taxpayers, the citizens of a community, who bear the cost of liability for misconduct by their government officials. That way, the officials must answer to the public for their actions. By the RNC purchasing liability insurance on behalf of the city of St. Paul to cover claims of police misconduct, they have literally funded the abuse of police power in order to enhance their political agenda.'

@polarbear35353 these are southern democrats... im not saying they wernt rascist, but they did support democracy... lincoln was the first republican, he started the bloodyest war in american history... the southern democrat WHO NEVER LEFT THE UNION named andrew johnson did the reconstruction of the south and brough the country back togeather... lincoln was a bastard, im glad he was shot... americans came togeather to end slavery, lincoln blamed democrats and finnaly got dems out of office

[polarbear35353]

Respond to this video...Each side is guilty of racism to some degree, I will admit that. However, unlike you and a lot of people like you, I can look objectively at our leaders. To those snakes in Washington, to you, they can do no wrong. It's sad to be so mislead but to each his own I guess. 

[polarbear35353]

@polarbear35353 the KKK. All of them Democrats. This isn't the Golden Plains days moron. Farming means nothing anymore. I don't why you would even bring that up. Smoke and Mirrors is my guess. Learn your history before you get mad about someone calling you out on your bullshit. You figure if you spout enough nonsense loud enough that nobody will challenge you and you are wrong bro. One of the greatest hoodwinks in history was the Democratic party convincing blacks the Republicans are the racists

[polarbear35353]

@wildboy789789 Lincoln did not want the Southern states to cede from the Union and that is why we went to war in the first place. He mad freeing of slaves a condition afterwards but he still made it and the war continued because the Southern Dixiecrats would not free them. You're the idiot. Quick little history lesson for you too : George Wallace, the governor of Alabama who did not want blacks in white schools, was a Democrat. Al Gore Sr. voted AGAINST the civil rights act. Robert Byrd was in

[wildboy789789]

@polarbear35353 ...also did you know before lincoln we had about 2 or 3 democratic presidents that ruled the whole country, and i dont remember them being southern rednecks... learn some history, democrats split into northern and southern, and when the republicans won the north the democrats decided they wernt going to sit by and allow farmers to go out of buisness... confederates wernt the gun toteing redneck republican idiots we have today, there were repubs and dems all over the country

[wildboy789789]

@polarbear35353 your an idiot... poor farmers bought slaves with their LIFE SAVINGS!!! the republican ass hole abraham lincoln wanted to steal the slaves from the poor farmers, and democracy and the democratic party didnt want that to happen... in britan the government payed the farmers for the slaves and then freed them... in america the republican STOLE the earnings of the hard working farmer and thats why he got shot... most farmers today are democrats, they get subsidies... u idiot
