If I understand correctly, it's pokes fun at the notion that Democrats are "dangerous", but I must be missing something...

3. Was there a way I was supposed to pick up on the "anarchist" thing?
Yeah, they were wearing black, but black hoodies were the popular item for Dems last cycle (per Eminem's "Mosh").

We've all seen it before...and Eminem didn't do dick to back up his "tough guy" video...but it's still stirring:

7. This organization is called The RNC Welcoming Committee
CRASH THE CONVENTION 2008 Call to Action

On September 1-4 of 2008, the Republican Party is coming to Minnesota to celebrate their latest conquests in global domination and exploitation. We of the RNC Welcoming Committee want to make sure that this time the fear-mongers will be met with their own biggest fear: people mobilized, organized, and taking the future back into their own hands.

skip...

What we want (the goals):

1. Build Our Capacity – A new reality will not emerge by simply stopping the 4 day spectacle of the RNC. We need folks with an alternative vision to come to the Twin Cities and turn their dreams into reality. Start something new, be creative, and come ready to build sustainable alternatives worth fighting for and defending. The new skills that we teach, learn, and put into practice here will allow us to return to our communities stronger, smarter, and more empowered.

2. Crash the Convention – We didn’t get an invitation, but we’re showing up anyway. This party will be what we make of it. We don’t want to confine our potential by imposing a single vision of what success will look like. We recognize that there will be a lot of people coming with their own agendas and carefully laid plans and want to be open to the diverse tactics that will be necessary to accomplish our many goals. Together, we can derail the purely ceremonial show of this repressive system and remake it with our own hands and according to our own visions.

How we get there (the strategy): http://www.nornc.org/
