Republican Front claims to have broken Democratic Security
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 11:40 AM by ukfordems
I have already phoned the Denver branch of the Security Services, although I am not too clear about how seriously they took this threat but according to NoQuarter 8 PUMA types managed to break in to the Convention. Supposedly they "borrowed" passes from accredited delegates right in front of the Secret Service.

http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/08/28/a-night-at-the-pepsi-center/#more-4446

The PUMA types without credentials are exactly the types the Security Services need to concern themselves with.

Story added so no need to go to that disgusting blog:

Tuesday night a group of about 7 people and I got a look at the Pepsi Center from the inside. (I was in awe as I stepped through the security gate!) I know you are all wondering, how did she do that? It was so easy even the unity jacka$$ could do it.

We decided to make it a “black ops” mission. We invaded the Pepsi Center. We borrowed credentials from delegates, DNC members and others. It was a gas. The funny thing is that the Secret Service stood right near us while we “borrowed” the credentials. Some had arena credentials and others had floor credentials. Two group members spent time in a beer company’s sky box.

I had the opportunity to meet Alan Colmes (Sean Hannity) would have been more fun to meet. Alan Colmes and I e-mailed for sometime about veterans issues and the VA. I introduced myself. I reminded him of our e-mails. He said “I think I remember”. I am sure he didn’t but….I would have found him more credible if he didn’t feel the need to lie!

It was a momentous evening as Hillary was about to speak. Her speech was wonderful but heartbreaking at times. I alternately laughed and cried. The tears were the heaviest when she talked about the “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits”. I was a member of that sisterhood. I traveled through four states for her, the last was Montana. That was the most incredible experience for me since I ran the Veterans for Hillary Tour.

As I had a chance to really observe the Pepsi Center one thing struck besides the fact the venue was much too small (I think the fire marshall should have just kicked everyone out!) and that was its inaccessibility to disabled folks. At the entrances to the arena seats I counted a very few wheelchairs. Got me wondering….. Does the DNC really encourage participation by disabled folks? I guess they really care about the Affirmative Action written into their own delegation selection process! (NOT!)

I was discussing the sad state of affairs about disabled access when I was accosted and shoved away from a camera crew by a super delegate in a bright lime green suit! (And these people are picked to represent the Democratic Party!!) that was trying to interview me. What a nasty lady? The Democratic Party needs to invest in a Miss Manners book or two, make it mandatory reading for the next convention!

When Hillary’s speech ended it was like a herd of unity jackasses running for the nearest exits. It was almost as if someone had fired the gun at the start of a jacka$$ race! If you weren’t moving fast enough, the people literally body checked evryone in their way. Hey when did RUDE become a central part of the Democratic Party?

I know it all seems a little over the top! It gets even better….. I am waiting outside while the group reformed, when I suddenly turned around and ended up looking Dick Morris right in the eyes. I stuck my hand out….introduced myself, shook his (and bit my tongue….I knew something irrelevant and not nice was going to come out of my mouth)….. well I smiled, stumbling over my words and said I watch you all the time…. And the whole time all I was thinking why couldn’t I meet Terry McAuliffe or even the Big Dawg?

My night at the Pepsi Center was wonderful! I enjoyed Hillary’s speech but why oh why did I have to meet Dick Morris of all people?

1. Can't help myself
"why oh why did I have to meet Dick Morris of all people?" Because you attract toe suckers?

2. Not "PUMA types without credentials"... they are Republican operatives
The term PUMA needs to be phased out fast.

They are republican operatives. The whole thing is a political dirty-trick.

Using the term PUMA implies they are Democrats of some sort.

6. I gotta say, based on the reading it seems pretty harmless
They didn't start anything. They snuck in, met people, and made snarky comments. The kind of thing HS kids do.

5. The "PUMA" myth died yesterday.
Please refrain from using it any longer. They are republickers.

There are a lot of republickers there, anyway. Clouds of the foulest, most insidious, most dangerous right wing tools of fascism that are broadcasting their radio shows and appearing on the corporate media telecasts. Anyways, good on you for trying to get security to pay attention to the uncredentialed gatecrashers.

7. Whithout evidence this is bullshit
There's nothing here to substantiate the story, and the link uses a long away, public, shot of the Pepsi Center.

Like all Republicans, this operator is lying

8. I agree
it probably is a lie - however these KKK heads (I think that is a better description than PUMA) should be questioned.
