“The Republican Party in the 6th District wouldn’t let Ken Avidor and I videotape speeches..”

Eva, that may also be because you could not give proof you had been faithfully taking your meds.

“The Republican Party in the 6th District wouldn’t let Ken Avidor and I videotape speeches..”

Sweetie pie, evidently you missed the “No Hampsters Allowed” sign clearly posted at the enterance…you have to leave your pets at home!

That being said, I guess it is true that you would have been asked to leave for the reasons RC states even if you had left Weiner at home.

May I suggest a clever disguise? Perhaps something along the lines of a sane, but enthusiastically zaftig, woman?

That’s a big leap… could be they don’t care to have the DFL brown-shirts and hate squad disrupt the meetings.

Also, how is it there are pictures at the Republican Convention if they don’t let you worthless Demoncrats in? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Another case of you not being truthful!

And Flash – you are exactly correct with your arguments.

The DFL does allow the public to attend their conventions (MDE was treated well at the Rochester convention). They keep their elists private. The Republican Party of Minnesota wants their conventions private. That suggests they want to hide something.

Chestnut says: “You make a compelling argument.”

You take pride at outing people (see Filesticker case) and being a general no-good pain in the ass.

If the union has an event that is open to their members at large then it is public. If it is people at work then it is a call judging on weather it is just a job description or someone claiming a hardship. If someone really needs to know how something like a 911 workstation works and a specifiic employee is “camera shy, look for someone else or a supervisor. If you have, for example, a 9-11 operator who claimes on camera “my house is being forclosed because President Bush leid about weapons of mass destructions and wouldn’t take the advice of “Peace mom Cindy Sheehan” then this claim will be open to scrutiny.

I’ve noticed that a lot of these “progressives” have no problem getting “in your face” and intrusive, picketing in front of republican’s houses and in the case of the “Progressive” “Stillwater Infidel” giving details on opponents residences and the schedules and potential kidnap vulnerabilties of their children. (I help with precident law here when Symbionese Liberation Army arrested fugutive Kathleen Ann Soliah/Sara Jane Olson posted personal information on potential prosectuion information on the official defense website, including information the personal information on cops/witnesses they failed to kill with pipebombs.

Anyway, the Franken campaign is extremely vulnerable here, especially in light of “Angry Al’s” very “assertive befhavior’. (Mike you have to repost that link!}

Oh I forgot! The “Progressives” are “special!”.

MB said “Republican Party of Minnesota and they confirmed their tracker has been denied access to numerous public events”

STRIB cites Drake saying: “The GOP’s Drake, asked about the posting on MDE, cited three instances when the GOP tracker was turned away”

So now we know ‘numerous” = 3 (most people would call that few, but lets go with numerous, cause that will come in real handy later. And since I have 4 kids, is that a bunch, a whole lot, numerous?!?)

Ya with me still.

MB defines Public events as: “I’ve seen people from Team Franken (J.D.) and the DFL attend press conferences held by the Republican Party of Minnesota about Al Franken.”

and “the opposition’s press events.”

Now, what were these ‘numerous press events’

1) A labor-union event in which Franken worked alongside a health care worker for a day;
2) a luncheon; and
3) an appearance before the Macalester College Democrats.

So The MNGOP/MDE wants to define press events as anything the candidate attends that happens to appear on their website and imply it will happen in the public, or at least were ‘Press’ is allowed.

So I counter, the MNGOP convention is clearly advertised on their website, and by MNGOP/MDE standards, considered a press event.

I agree that the convention may not be a ‘public’ event open to anyone, no more or less then a luncheon, a labor union event, and/or a College Club.

So lets quit picking nits and someone, preferable MB, tell me where the line is and when, or if, an event organizer has the right to determine the attendees of said event.

Flash

Beyond that, what “public events” have Democrats been turned away from?

… or are you just leveling baseless claims?
