Democrats remove Aljazeera banner

So what they're saying is: They voted for aljazeera before they voted against it.

I sure hope the RNC censors them, too.

Wow....

I didn't think anything could top the Rolls Royce logo story!!!

Well of COURSE they took it down. Regardless of whether the decision was right or wrong, leaving it up would have cost them votes in an election that's too close to call. After all, what's more important: honoring agreements you've made and ensuring equality in an advertising gimmick, or votes? A politician will of course choose votes. At least they had the political sense not to tell Al-Jazeera the REAL reason it was removed. That, too, would have cost votes.

They are also limiting their access to conventioneers.

I say whoever the scumterrorist+French gov+German+Russian Gov want in office.....I vote against

pretty simple..

Al Jezzerra..what a great partner...WAY TO GO!!!! Did Ted " The Swimmer" Kennedy get Smirnoff to annie up?

Or wait ..Is that Robert "Sheets" Byrd i see waving the flag of Equal Rights?

Greencloud you are suffering from a big illusion if you think terrorists care who is in power in the USA. They can't tell the difference. One American president is much like another to them.

Gunslinger · « **Reply #9 on:** July 26, 2004, 07:34:57 PM »

wow if this was a GOP conv. The equal rights protesters would be all over this like white on rice on a paper plate in a snow storm

I actually applaud the DNC. Looks like the still do act like Americans.

They are doing alot more than that, have you seen the area that protesters must be in? It looks like a max security prison, complete with razor wire all around it. They were not even going to let people picket in front of the place. The DNC was brought into court on the matter and the judge gave the picket line in front the ok, but he said the razor wire mosh pit would stay. He said that such a thing steps all over the constitution and free speech and that it has no place in America, but he allowed it because of security. This is the party that supports free speech? It is an embarrassment to the party and to the city. And you say we are not losing any rights, eh?
