Disrupting the Republican Convention
by Kevin McCullough

Kevin McCullough As first reported by the New York Daily News, The Fox News Channel, and the New York Police Dedpartment, Democratic activists have openly solicited disruption of the GOP convention. They have posted detailed instructions on the internet how to purposefully mislead security forces around the location of the convention, in order to create chaos and confusion, to purposefully thwart the anti-terrorism measures that are being put into place to keep the American people safe. And these activists are doing so knowing that the convention season has already been targeted as a prime opportunity for terrorist actions.

The most direct threat as reported by the Daily News included having activists spend a minimum of an hour at a gun shop, skeet range, or target facility then boarding a public train and head directly to the heart of the convention - Penn Station. The activists were then instructed to loiter near the police dogs, even pet the dogs to try to allow the dogs to pick up the scent of the gun powder saturated in their clothes. The instructions said it would work best if there were multiple activists standing in the separate doorways so as to pick up multiple "positives" by the dogs. Activists were also instructed to play dumb as long as possible and to try to see how much confusion and resources would be brought in before finally confessing that the gunpowder had gotten on the clothing at a shooting range.

"With any luck," the posting said, "Madison Square Garden will be evacuated."

Other ideas by the group included throwing bags of marbles under horses' hooves as the patrol officers guard the convention site. The marbles would cause the horses to lose their balance and create great pain. One other suggestion included shooting the horses with the marbles out of sling shots.

Those encouraging these efforts want our nation to be weak and vulnerable just thirty blocks from the footprint of Ground Zero, while terrorists are already telling us they hope to attack during the convention season.

We can differ about politics in the U.S. but this type of leftist anarchy goes beyond the pale. This is just another reason we need a tough-on-terrorism President like the one who will be nominated at the convention in New York.
