www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8583.html Douglas Wilder, the Mayor of Richmond and a former Governor of Virginia predicts riots in the streets if the Clinton campaign were to overturn an Obama lead through the use of superdelegates. “There will be chaos at the convention,” Wilder told Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation.” “If you think 1968 was bad, you watch: In 2008, it will be worse.” said Wilder. |
this go around?

Could this spark an uproar of black on white violence? Could the race war to end all race wars begin when Hillary puts down the black voice? Naw... Very few people (even nutjobs) truly have the courage of their convictions ... Oh, I suppose crazy riotors and looters might spring up and take advantage, but on the whole... no. I'll be watching with baited breath hoping for a day or two of death and destruction... but it won't happen in Colorado. If anything, blacks in West coast urban centers will burn their own fucking neighborhoods and get beaten or shot on television... Let the race beatings begin! Actually, I think B. Obama will get the nod. and possibly the Whitehouse... wOE IS ME. |
| You know this would probably get the usual band of faux suburban teen/twenty year old "anarchists" (are you an anarchist if you're working at Hot Topic at the mall and living with your folks still?) to show up and turn on their Democrat masters. Good excuse to break the glass in the Denver Starbucks and so on. |

And to think I enjoyed the end of the last DNC convention... "Jesus, we need more balloons. I want all balloons to go, goddamn. No confetti. No confetti. No confetti. I want more balloons. What's happening to the balloons? All balloons - where the hell - there's nothing falling. . . What the fuck are you guys doing up there?" I saw that train wreck coming from a mile away when they left that feed open, and I wasn't disappointed. I can only hope that this will eclipse that fond memory.

I'm not even sure people remember how to hold a proper riot. I figure it will go like this. Step 1)HillDog '08 & Barrack 'Change' Obama supports decide to riot Step 2)Both groups assemble (think fight scene in Thriller) Step 3)All at once the entire group realizes they have nothing with which to riot Step 4)HillDog '08 writes a $5mil check to her mob with a memo line of 'Riot Equipment' Step 5)Obama supporters, determined to precipitate change, decide that 'yes we can' riot without any supplies Step 6)HillDog '08 rioters lay an epic beating on the Obamites Step 7)Profit ? Just a theory. x156 |

There are racial problems "simmering" in America. If Hilly "steals" the nomination from Osama, there might be problems inthe big cities given the August weather. But what is Osama gets the nomination, but loses in November? The weather won't be very conducive to riot problems, but our simmering problems may reach a boil and who knows how that might play out. Basically, I don't see anything good coming from Osama's candidacy no matter how it plays out at this point. America stands to lose big in some manner. dvo |

I've really been thinking that one way or another we'll see some major rioting in November especially if Obama is elected. Here are my thoughts on the senarios. 1 - We'll see rioting/EXTREME celebration if Obama wins. 2 - We'll come pretty close to SHTF if Obama loses in the fashion that Kerry lost. I may be wrong though. |
What makes for a good riot? Riot Weather. Have you never stopped to think what an important factor weather plays in rioting? It has immense impact. No one wants to riot in freezing rain, for example. August provides long hot days of maximum heat to build up discomfort and a bad temper. November -- not so much. If August provides us a "Coronation of the Crown Prince" ceremony, it will precipitate celebrations among the entitlement class who suddenly see their way clear en masse to go start "sticking it to the man" by removing his earthly goods in an expedient manner. OR if The Beast campaign does a Vincent or two, pulls out all the ancient dossiers on delegates, and prevails in August -- expect sheer street theater rage and frustration involving much fire.

The absolute best thing that could happen, is that Obama wins the "popular" race, and Hitlery steals it at the convention. There aer a LOT of people who love Obama, and HATE Hitlery. They will either not vote, or they will vote for Mcain, who is a moderate ( to say the least) republican. We would have a MUCH better chance of keeping a Dem out of the White house, should it happen that way. My biggest fear: They go to convention in a dead tie, and leave the convention with one of the two as president, and the other as vice president. We would be shit out of luck then. |
That is nothing. This year the RNC convention is in St. Paul, Minnesota. So far the opposition (DNC, Communists, Greens, etc) have a friend in the Minnesota Legislature and in the St. Paul & Minneapolis Mayor's offices. The protests these nuts have planned are looking like an all out riot. They (the opposition) already have permits on all major routes right up to the front door of the convention center. The local Police ARE NOT prepared for this and all of their efforts to prepare are stalled at the Mayoral levels. I expect one hell of a riot. Since I work in St. Paul, I may have to stay home just to avoid the rukus during the RNC convention... |
Yeah, Dude, Memphis is just as bad as Atlanta.  I need to work up a BOB since I work downtown, live in the 'burbs. |
Technically, that would be a GHB (Get Home Bag). A TACTICAL GHB.

I am generally not one who wishes for riots, but I will make an exception this time. If Obama has the popular vote, but Hillary becomes the nominee due to the super delegates, I see the Black voting block finally coming to their senses, and realizing that the Democrats really aren't for minorities, but instead are just interested in their votes. I can see this tearing apart the democratic party, and I see that as a good thing. |

Oh yeah, burn baby burn. If clinton steals the nomination (and I believe she will) there will be chaos to put all other riots to shame. I am in Eagle River Alaska  For those in the big city, game on. We will get to relive the drama as liberals find out how waiting periods suck.Don't be a white bitch with a clinton bumper sticker is the last word for this post.. |
