Occupy Toledo!

by T.L. James | 3:32 pm, October 17, 2011

So I’m walking down the street in Toledo (the one in Spain) on Saturday, and I suddenly find myself in the middle of a protest. Near as I can tell from cognates, it was something related to the Occupy Wall Street crap but translated into Spanish. Naturally, I had to play reporter and get some [...]

Occupy Denver at the Colorado State Capitol

by Kelly Maher | 9:47 am, October 14, 2011

I went to the raucous Occupy Denver rally on Thursday night and tried, but wasn’t allowed, to attend the Colorado State Patrol press conference around 10 p.m. The video gives a sense of the scene.

Charles Johnson Supports Violent Rhetoric, Hitler References at Protest Rallies

by T.L. James | 10:47 pm, February 18, 2011

Well, at least that’s what one could be forgiven for thinking after reading this post at Little Green Footballs: I’d just like to say that I stand in solidarity with the workers and students of Wisconsin tonight, and against the right wing’s war on employee unions. What about the abundant Hitler references? What about the [...]

Whatever Happened to War Protest Rallies?

by T.L. James | 3:00 pm, January 22, 2011

Michael and I have been discussing lately the sudden evaporation of an active anti-war rally movement in Colorado following the 2008 elections. The last major event that I remember seeing from that quarter was the Ayers-Churchill event at CU [live-streamed PPC video at the link] back in March 2009…and that was really a praise Churchill/hate [...]

Immigration Nonsense in Denver

by Al Maurer | 11:57 am, May 6, 2010

My, my were they indignant in Denver over the Arizona illegal immigration bill: Notice the astroturf SEIU signs. “We work for SEIU, America” is a good reading of the sign on the right. The “It Stops in Arizona” sign on the left is somewhat humorous: obviously the Arizona state law does stop there but lawyers [...]

May Day/Che Day/Amnesty Rally in Denver

by T.L. James | 9:27 pm, May 3, 2010

In case you missed it (easy enough), there was a pro-amnesty rally at the Capitol last Saturday: And unlike at those violent, racist, hate-filled, anti-government Tea Party rallies we’ve been warned about, this one was as peaceful and cuddly as a puppy: [photos via hyperspoon]

Update 4: Hatred, Violent Rhetoric, and Racism at the Denver Tax Day Tea Party…

by T.L. James | 10:37 pm, April 16, 2010

…counterprotest. A few examples of the ugliness from the left/”Progressive” demo across the street from the Denver Tax Day Tea Party.

Healthcare Vote Day, U.S. Capitol Lawn

by Eileen McGuire-Mahony | 6:20 pm, March 21, 2010

Whether we are moments away from shredding the Constitution or bitch-slapping the Botox out of Madame Speaker, it was a lovely day for politicking.  And, come what may, it has been heartening to see people getting worked up over politics. Democracy is the belief that the common man knows what he wants and deserves to [...]

PPC On the Scene in DC at the Kill the Bill Protests

by T.L. James | 1:40 pm, March 21, 2010

PPC’s Washington Bureau Chief Eileen Mahony sends these shots (and hopefully more later) from today’s protests at the Capitol against the federal nationalization of the healthcare industry. Three GOP representatives make an appearance on the balcony of the House wing, carrying “KILL THE BILL” placards A small (as in 30-odd people) crowd gathers near the [...]

War Protest in DC – No, Really…

by T.L. James | 8:40 am, March 20, 2010

Hey, remember when political protests used to be about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? You know…back before President Obama was elected, and fulfilled all his campaign promises to end the wars, withdraw the troops, and undo the foreign policy tangle which – like every other problem he has faced in the past year – he inherited [...]
