'Hardball' - PUMAs are there - LOUD - Is this whole thing a GOP disruption operation?

[democrat2thecore]

Seriously, I am wondering how many of those people shouting and chanting and causing multiple disruptions around Denver are really Democrats at all.

Are we witnessing an 'Operation: Denver' Republican dirty tricks operation?

[AzDar]

1. It is fucking annoying....what are they hoping to accomplish?

:mad:

[billyoc]

2. Occam's Razor

I never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.

But I'm sure the Dittoheads are well represented too.

[democrat2thecore]

5. That's a great link as your sig from AFL-CIO - great stuff there -nt

[AzDar]

8. I just noticed that when they cut to a crowd shot, the 'Hillary supporters' hid their faces.

[flpoljunkie]

30. Now, that's very interesting.

[VolcanoJen]

35. But of course. That's what Agent Provocateurs do.

Seriously.

[azmouse]

3. Fair number of McBush signs there too.

What losers...

[GrizzlyMan]

4. They are not Dems

They are GOP operatives bussed in to cause trouble.

[democrat2thecore]

9. I agree, Grizzly - this is a '72 -like dirty tricks operation

Is Donald Segretti there?

[hisownpetard]

17. Is this your guess, or do you know this for a fact?

[GrizzlyMan]

18. Call it an educated guess

I put NOTHING beyond the GOP. And I can't justify anyone calling themselves a Dem who is hell bent on causing disruption and feeding the media their talking points.

[hisownpetard]

19. You're probably right.

[AlCzervik]

6. i wonder who bussed them in.

[Fleshdancer]

7. That's exactly what I think it is

it wouldn't surprise me to see a photo a few months from now of the "PUMAs" with arrows pointing to them showing the various republican aides like we see from the 2000 fiasco.

[AlCzervik]

13. yup, the Brooks brother's mafia and the den mother Pat Peale.

[classiclib4life]

10. Someone should go throw paint on them....

How dare you wear Puma :D

[Neecy]

11. This is seriously pissing me off

This is making ALL women look like whiny little jackasses. Like we need to have some big emotional catharsis tomorrow night, to purge our delicate little souls, to weep and stomp and gnash our teeth until we feel better.

Bullshit!

This media stroking of the poor puma mentality is what is REALLY sexist, that we're some kind of delicate fucking petals whose emotional needs trump common sense and even a sense of courtesy.

This is a tiny fucking fringe of freaks - yes, FREAKS - who need to grow up and stop projecting their own failures on HRC. They're making us, as women, look like complete assholes.

God, I'm steamed.

[roguevalley]

26. neecy, I hear ya.

[LSK]

12. I dont hear any

http://www.c-span.org/Watch/C-SPAN_rm.aspx

:shrug:

[Undercurrent]

14. Yup. GOP psy-op.

[caledesi]

15. Yep. NT

[Barack_America]

16. Hillary's supporters excel at making a scene...

During the primaries, if there was a camera, they were there by the busload (literally). But when it came to walking the streets and going door-to-door...nada.

They are ALL about perception.

[BeyondGeography]

21. They're not very good at that whole contribution thing, either

[Captain Hilts]

22. Can you use a broader brush to insult a whole lot of folks with an ignorant generalization?

I don't think so.

ER: You'd think with the Internet people would be better informed.
FDR: People go to the Internet for affirmation, not information, my dear. Let's go to Denver!

[Barack_America]

23. Sorry, that was my experience. In my many days of canvassing the neighborhoods...

Not a single Hillary volunteer to be found.

But as soon as the primary neared and the cameras started showing up...Hillary supporters started arriving by busload. Not to actually work, but to give the appearance that they were.

[Jakes Progress]

44. Not my experience.

Here, when the hard, pavement pounding started, the old Hillary hands were the pack dogs. The fresh, young meat ate the donuts and never showed for the door-to-door. One wanted to know if he could do it from home on his computer.

I don't hold it against all Obama people. You use that broad brush too eagerly. At my headquarters, it's Bizarro DU. Clinton and Obama people getting along just fine. We've got a president to elect. Don't let MSM turn you around.

[VolcanoJen]

20. It's an orchestrated, epic GOP ratfuck.

Barnicle and Chuck Todd see right through it. So do I. So should everyone.

[redqueen]

29. This should be the OP.

I want to rec this post. :)

[VolcanoJen]

32. It's just important that we all recognize it for what it is... RATFUCKING.

Republicans aren't interested in governing this nation. They're not interested in ideas, or policy. They are playing a Shirts-vs-Skins pick-up game; their only interest is winning, and they will disrupt and cause chaos to achieve their only goal.

It's not like this is the first time.

Edit: Everyone should read all about "ratfucking" since that's what this is. It even has its own Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratfucking

Be sure to read further by clicking on the names of the classic Watergate players... Segretti, Chapin, Buchanan, et al... and (with all apologies to any DUers who went to USC!) the University of Southern California was the ratfucking epicenter. It's a good history lesson, especially at a moment where you can actually turn on your television and watch history repeat itself, right here, right now.

[redqueen]

33. Damn right it is... seriously... this is OP material!

*begs you*

Please start a new thread? All this bitching about PUMAs has me ready to throw something. :P

[VolcanoJen]

34. Hmmmm.

OK, but it'll sink like a stone. :-) I worry more people here want to blame/defend Hillary than call this for what it is. And it doesn't have a rip to do with the Clintons.

[redqueen]

36. Yeah it might... but I'll do my best to keep it kicked.

Cause DAMN.

:patriot:

[VolcanoJen]

40. Dedicated to you.

:hug: redqueen :hug:

[redqueen]

41. Thank you!

I'm sure more than a few people will learn a thing or two from that thread... thank you so much.

:loveya:

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

24. It's increasingly apparent that this is a classic false-flag

operation staged by Repukes. Since 1972, the Repuke party = dirty tricks.

[FrenchieCat]

25. Fake ass! Watch C-Span and you won't be bothered!

and call and complain once you have turned your tv to C-Span

27. Let's check photos for freepers, GOP staffers and saides

[azmouse]

28. I've switched to C-SPAN.

I'm sick of the fake Democrats being given air time on MSNBC.

[goclark]

48. CSPAN is my new friend

[The empressof all]

31. Whatever their intentions are...they are making Hillary look Bad

I too question their Democratic chops but she really needs to get out and in front of this stupidity. The longer she waits...the more respect she loses from party loyalists like me.

[CitizenPatriot]

37. please start thread re this

I've been saying this for months now...these are Rovian/GOP tactics.

This is not a representation of HC supporters.

The moronic way it paints these women should be the final clue.

We have nothing to fear but our own ignorance of their tactics.

We are strong and that is why they are doing this.

Flame me, I don't care, I've been getting it for days now. And frankly, I am slightly disgusted by the amount of smart people who are buying into this bs.

I called the Obama campaign about this today and talked to people at my local HQs. HC put out a statement, went on camera and Obama did too. This is a drama manufactured by people who want us to lose. We are the losers when we buy into it.

[democrat2thecore]

42. That's what this thread is about - it's started! -nt

[DevonRex]

38. Just bunch of fucking racists, whether they be ex-dems or pukes. nt

[NorthCarolina]

39. I don't suspect any of them are real Dems

this is more than likely a GOP "Operation" to facilitate the perception of major "disunity" at the Democratic Convention, and will more than likely become a post convention GOP talking point for the Hannitys, O'Riellys and Scarboroughs out there in cablevision land.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

46. Hillary should disown them

[bushisanidiot]

43. Just another republican "rent-a-mob" bussed in to do their dirty work.

it's the same damn tactic they've been using since they bussed people in to stop the voting in Florida in 2000.

[HughMoran]

45. I can't even hear them

Perhaps I choose not to.

[Jakes Progress]

47. This is why republican tricks work.

Always someone gullible enough to fall for it.

[bridgit]

49. Of course, they're there blogging their little fingers off trying to frame this a failure...

Though be aware. We here are all loving it...but there is still much work to do, and spurious BS to refute & turn around; republicans aren't going down easy. America isn't near as addicted to oil as they are to the abuse of office & power. And they are prepared to claw their way to the bottom.
