RNC PROTESTERS REJECT VIOLENT PORTRAYAL

In yet another event of synchronicity, Democracy Now hits the same subject I hit in my last post. That is, the concerted effort on the part of the Republican Party to smear anti-GOP protesters as violent:

The reason we had the news conference was to address the really ridiculous and irresponsible behavior of the New York City media with regards to the protesters, and our feeling of their setting up an atmosphere of criminalization of dissent in the city. I was organizer with the Life after Capitalism Conference, and it really kind of started last week when The New York Post labeled our conference a “war council,” and has continued on throughout. So, the purpose of the press conference really was to address what is anarchism and really what is—what we really want to accomplish in the coming weeks during the protest.

Just so you know, the conservative New York Post is owned by billionaire tyrant Rupert Murdoch, a strong GOP supporter; it's kind of a Fox News print version.
