How close to MSG will the protestors be allowed? 1 mile? 2 miles? Queens?

is about as close as they plan on letting us get!

4. nyc is the last place i'd want to be during the convention

i'd say that's more risky than during the millenium

5. How come no protests during the bush bus campaign?

Lots of stupid signs saying "thanks for protecting us" Ugh!!!

What the hell has he protected us from??

Blood is on the hands of our Lady MacBush.

Out damn bush! Out, I say!!

9. Those signs are planted, dear boy

by the fat nerd himself.

6. Isn't the "free speech zone" New Jersey?

;-) That's what they did here in Portland, the "designated free speech zone" was behind a fence miles away from where they would even have to soil their eyes with the free speech banners.

New Yorkers aren't going to stand for that. I hope they shut the city down.

7. Gore buys a Network???? woohoo! n/t

saw it on the same page, and although he claims it won't be a "political network" how can it not be? One can only hope!

8. It was going to happen regardless.

"Who's streets?..."

10. I don't think they can close off more than a block

around MSG. You can't just close NYC. I dream of a million protesters surrounding MSG for several days. Think of the overhead pictures from the helicopter! It'll carry a very powerful message as long as it remains peaceful.

11. "Remains Peaceful" the operative phrase

Why do I have a feeling the stormtrooper gear and rubber bullets will be dusted off for this?
