8 Members of RNC activist group charged with terrorism

I wonder if they'll be locked up for years without a trial like the "terrorists" at Gitmo?

We. as a people and a nation, have got to put a stop to the terrorism from our own government.

This is just the beginning of the Patriot Act Atrocities...

Good luck fellow citizens!

Ride on!

It's outrageous. I also posted this on my blog today along with the videos.

This is an interesting case. These are US citizens, and they clearly have nothing to do with 9-11, or any actual terrorism case.

But the time where political dissidents are charged with terrorism is here now.

I hope Obama wins and revisits and the erases the Patroit Act. I hope these rediculous charges bring some light on to how much of an abuse of the American Constitution the Patriot act is. Democracy is a participation sport and demonstrating and free speech are part of a Democratic society. No wonder no other country wants Bush and Co's version of Democracy. In fact no country wants Bush and Co. period.

EVERYONE is a suspect. We've got to get everyone on the terrorist watch list

*leers suspiciously at everyone in the world.

First they grabbed the protesters, then they grabbed the baby killers, then they grabbed the homosexuals, then they grabbed me and know one was left too save me. It was too late, The Fascist had complete control...

Just by showing up in riot gear-job security. Without provoking potentially tense situations to a level of anxiety that results in violence or property damage, they might have to resort to being mall cops. Busting the heads of unarmed marchers or protestors exercising their 1st Amendment rights is good Fox News fodder & justifies the existence of both cops & Fox. In fact, isn’t that one of their most popular shows?

Funny how people protesting their support for the war are patriotic while those protesting against the war are left wing liberal rebels in need of a good beating, lockup, & charges that often result in a criminal record for trespassing or resisting arrest, which will haunt you later in life. People in power will do anything to stay there & create an atmosphere of anarchy around any group that doesn't support them. Fuckers.

are these the ones that had the bodily wastes in their garage? or the ones that were burning dumpsters?

there goes are constitional right to organize.

how can somone be considered a terriorist if they act out non violently against a political party? is that even viable?

if this is considered terrorsim, then stop palin from speaking her voice terrifies me.

cant we arrest bush already :D

This is what happens in a police state. I miss the Constitution.

the founding fathers were terrorists too. if it weren't for all the hard monkeybars training I would probably be an actual terrorist and make these people look like ordinary citizens who feel its their right to peaceful protest. i mean seriously, if im gunna be charged with "terrorism" i might as well be violently protesting right?

Since when did excercising your right to protest fall under the category of terrorism??? Seriously I feel like i've been living under a rock for the past 8 years.

let the republicans offense stack up more and more. the higher they go the harder they fall.

I’m amazed that a willful act of disobedience, a form of protest related to and directly responsible for the birth of this country, is somehow typecast as a foreign or unnatural evil.

I agree there is to much goin on that we don't know about. We need to try and find some truth to what is really goin on.

it seems they are trying to enrage the public so there will be internal violent reactions. then they can put us all in jail-camps-and get us there in trains. we can all starve and die. then there will be stories 40 years from now about the survivors. weve already seen the cold war revisited. now i guess hitlers back in power folks. and oh by the way, i am not exagerating. homeland security and these type of tactics are exactly how hitler got started.

That's ironic. Our Republican president invaded another country on false pretenses and when the citizens of the country of his presidency protest his illegal practices his government charges them with terrorism.

I believe that everyone in the midwest needs to go to the RNC and charge in with demands that the Republican party stop their dictatorship role of not only that city, but our country. Fuck the police there. They have thrown our rights out the window with their decency while those who are inside enjoy the lap of luxury. I only wish there were more protesters than police there. Then something would actually get done.

When did we become China?

I don't know if this is under the Patriot Act, but it is for sure under the Homeland Security Act. Something like this shouldn't even warrant an arrest. People have the right to protest, even if they don't like it. KKK members are allowed to hold protests and marches, but anti-war activists are not. It doesn't make sense at all.

Abramoff gets 4 years for being corrupt.
These people get 7 and a half years for protesting corruption.

we should have let guliani get the nomination THEN come out with the drag photos.
