Inside The DNC Protests

More at http://www.theuptake.org. Recreate 68 is one of the controversially-named progressive groups organizing demonstrations and other activities at the 2008 DNC in Denver. The UpTake's Chuck Olsen interviews one of the group's founders, Mark Cohen, and documents the first big protest of the DNC. The theme was, "End the Occupation."

Cohen points out that the group is not named "Recreate Chicago 68" or "Recreate DNC 68" a reference to the police riots that errupted during the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. The group is dedicated to peace, and unlike those protests in 1968, these ended peacefully with no immediate reports of arrests.

The bandanas were a bad idea in this day in age, did it ever occur to them that they looked like terrorists? Or were they trying to get a rise out of the police?

The key is to call anyone whom you disagree with a racist

That will shout them down.
