“Peace” Protesters At RNC
The Connecticut delegation to the Republican National Convention was attacked today as they attempted to enter the Xcel Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The delegation - including official delegates, alternates, and guests - numbering approximately 120 people - got off the buses and began to walk through the security perimeter into the Convention Hall when they encountered a large group of RNC protesters who formed a human chain to block the delegation from continuing and shouting epithets at the Nutmeggers.
Police officers in riot gear quickly converged on the protestors as the delegation attempted to walk through the blockade. Delegates were shoved and spat upon by the protestors.
When Chairman Healy’s mother Lila was spat upon by a protester, former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons stepped between the elder Healy and the crowd. He was doused with a liquid substance that was later determined to be a mix of clorox and water. At least 10 other delegates also were hit with liquid.
With police assistance, the delegation managed to break through the crowd and slip inside the security perimeter. The police quickly responded to the altercation and were able to prevent it from escalating further.
The St Paul police and the Secret Service are investigating how the protesters were able to get into the area unopposed.
Yep, really classy bunch, those “peace protesters”.

Nothing like “purveyors of peace” resorting to violence to make their points huh? More proof that liberalism is indeed a mental disorder.
Can you explain to me how these people got in there, past the secret service, past the police…when they didn’t manage to do the same in Denver?
Too bad they didn’t have the same *security team* working this convention that they had blocking all access to san fran nan’s nasty little party for lobbyists and big money donors. You know, the one where an ABC cameraman was choked down to the ground just for taking pictures of the people that own Barack Obama.
Although…I am sure that the ABC guy was yelling “Do you know who I am?” the whole time……
DUH…should read san FRAN nan…….
Yup….they’re real prizes, aren’t they. Their mommies and daddies taught them well. sigh….
Psst…cg, fixed.
What is that saying? “violence for peace is like humping for virginity”?? something along those lines anyway
@Brat:
sigh…. And I let you live?
