Boston IMC | No Freedom of Speech at DNC
"Inside the convention, the DNC has banned anything but officially printed
banners and signs from the convention floor, and several anti-war delegates
from the Kucinich campaign have been told to take off scarves that say
delegate for peace. Outside the convention, those who oppose the
Democratic Party position on Iraq are relegated to a protest pen, which is
actually a cage surrounded by fencing and barbed wire. On Saturday, CODEPINK
objected to the protest pen by having some of its activists dress as pink
statues of liberty with tape over their mouths.
“We are supposed to have free speech all over the United States, not just
inside a pen that looks like a Guantanamo Bay detention camp,” Benjamin
said."
Strong Stuff that you don't see on CNN. Thanks to cursor.
