I told you nothing of the sort. Ask all the folks who have their webpages taken down by big bro how they fell about it all though. Or the folks corralled miles away from the political conventions how they feel about it. You are blinded to the reality that goes on around you like many. When your own government has shown that it will trample those "freedoms" you should begin to ask questions. Not enough do. Then we have folks like you who think it's a some sort of joke. I don't know who is more the enemy the government or those who allow them to pursue these things and then laugh about it all.

Or do you not understand the concept of "freedom of speech"?
Private site or not, there is no one from the government taking me from my home from what I say on here.

Which sites were those? Or is this another one of your vague statements?

^^And what are you talking about with the political conventions, KU? My daughter lived in Denver in 2008, just a couple of blocks from the site of some of the convention activities. None of what you described happened.

Now go watch the vid's and stop making yourself look so ignorant with your next post if you decide to come back.
I wasn't quoting you, I was quoting the reporter, reiterating your point. Perhaps you should read my response again before speaking of ignorance.

I WAS AGREEING WITH YOU. Of course I watched the video. Rescuing someone at gunpoint is nonsense speak for "violating constitutional rights".

Then it must be another conspiracy reported by the media all over during the conventions for the republicans and democrats. Just ignore it and pretend it never happened. You folks seem really good at that.

Probably. Hell, KU, my daughter went through this, and I was but 25 miles away myself. She was in grad school and had classes as usual. She lived her life as usual. In fact, she and some friends went out to the local bars and met some people attending the convention. Sorry if that doesn't fit with your narrative.
