Recreate '68-protest DNC in Denver

Recreate '68: Democrats to Face Protests in Denver at Democratic National Convention
It remains to be seen whether the Democrats will ultimately take their fight for a presidential candidate all the way to the Democratic National Convention this August in Denver, but for many activists tired of the two-party system and the ongoing war, they will be demonstrating at the convention regardless of who the final nominee is. We speak with Mark Cohen, an organizer with Recreate '68, and Mark Silverstein, the legal director of the ACLU in Colorado. [includes rush transcript]

Come on, Heel, it is not difficult to pick people out of your group who do not belong there. From what I have seen they are usually the most rancorous, wear bandannas and in the case of the RNC, they had items and flammables to throw.

My comment about the interruption at the RNC regards the code pinker and the guy in the upper deck who disrupted Sen McCain's speech. To the best of my knowledge, that was not done at Obama's DNC speech. Protesting crowds at RNC committed more vandalism as well.

Coyeti, your points are mostly valid, but how can these groups of protesters know who thinks what?

And as for the whole thing in general, there were in fact protesters at the DNC, and crazy stuff went down there too, but it wasn't as extensively covered. The group that organized both protests is protesting the whole state of affairs in our country and is made up of Democrats, Republicans, and others who disagree with the recent actions of our government.
