Today at the Republican Nationa Convention, as the Ron Paul Delegates were taking a picture in front of the model White House inside the Convention Center, they were surrounded by Secret Service which proceeded to search the bags of all the delegates. They took any and everything related to Ron Paul including signs, buttons, videos, slim jims, cards, even books. “this is an obvious and outrageous violation of our first amendment rights” said Nathan Hanson, attorney and Delegate from MN.
Alternate Delegate Dennis Rothacker from Florida said “We were done taking the picture when Secret Service started walking into the room and surrounded us. There were about 30 of them. When they searched my bags they took my Ron Paul sign and turned a deaf ear to my complains, they just walked away.”
Delegate Ron Warner from Fairbanks Alaska added that as he was walking into the convention center today with about 15 Revolution Manifesto books, 20 DVD’s for Delegates, 20 Ron Paul buttons and a handful of other things, we was stopped by security which called on an obviously important higher up, who directed all the materials to be confiscated. She told him, and I quote “You can’t bring that in here, this is Mc Cain territory”
Not that I am particularly a fan of Ron Paul. Still, Ron Paul supporters being treated as terrorists?!
And "...this is McCain territory"? Holy horse shit! Can you imagine our entire nation and our world being treated with this attitude? Why aren't the creeps perpetrating these acts of terrorism against American Citizens being brought to justice? Hell, they're treating us here in America with the same inhumane treatment that they have been using against the Iraqi's for over 5 years!
Oh HELL! Now I get the whole "Iraq" thing! It was PRACTICE! Practice for when they brought their fascist show back home! Sorry, I'm a little slow.
