DNC protests will be behind fence
The fence around the public demonstration zone outside the Democratic National Convention will be chicken wire or chain link, authorities revealed in U.S. District Court today.

That may allow protestors to be seen and heard by delegates going in and out of the Pepsi Center during the convention.

But the American Civil Liberties Union and several advocacy groups have filed an amended complaint to their lawsuit against the U.S. Secret Service and the city and county of Denver that says protestors and demonstrators may have their First Amendment rights violated by security restrictions.

The ACLU has said it wants to avoid the conditions that existed during the 2004 convention in Boston, where protesters were caged, infuriating First Amendment advocates.

The first phase of the lawsuit asked the court to compel the city and the Secret Service to disclose the information on protest restrictions.

Somehow fencing out offensive libs is an oxymoron. Put em all in the fence everyone is already offensive. While they are fencing the dregs of their ensemble of anti American dopes, they are reminding us all they are for freedom of speech.

But i get the fence concept. Where else would you put swine like "Lard ass Murtha"? Besides it shows the libs are "agri friendly". Make it a combination DNC Convention and State Fair, and odds are Lard ass will run away with the "Blue ribbon" for best Hog. Second place going to "The Cape Cod Orca". I think Hilliary Rotten Her thighness will get some honors for runner up.

My opinion only but I think Lard ass Murtha wins it all. King of pork.
