Dissent in Denver



Uploaded by: videonation
Video Description:
On the eve of the Democratic National Convention demonstrators gathered in Denver. Some were calling for an end to the war in Iraq; others demanding more open debates. Their promise was to "Recreate '68," but a relatively small turnout and an intensive effort by the Democratic Party to keep protesters out of the media eye raised the question of the efficacy and meaning of protest at the 2008 DNC. The Nation hit the streets to speak with demonstrators, exploring their goals for the convention and their thoughts on protest and dissent around the 2008 election. The Nation's Brett Story spoke with Cindy Milstein, an activist and writer from Vermont and Nic Veroli, a professor of Political Philosophy in New York along with other protesters from groups like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the Alliance for Real Democracy, the Recreate '68 Alliance and the immigrant coalition the We Are America DNC Alliance. Produced by Brett Story

If by "freedom" you ... ( 3 months ago by austin0031)
If by "freedom" you mean voting rights, civil rights, women's rights, worker's rights, freedom of speech, etc, these are not freedoms that were given to us through war and they weren't gifts from our beneficent leaders. They were obtained through the many civilizing movements of the past few decades by dedicated people who agitated, protested, and fought hard to realize these freedoms for all of us

We sure do live in a Democracy, lol. People if you want to protest, just don't do anything. Don't go shopping for worthless plastic crap made in China, or any other 3rd world nation. Stop buying from corporations that screw you, like the companies that sell you toxic overpriced medication, coke, pepsi, GM, GE, etc. Take your money out of the banks that are supporting all of this corruption. This would get their attention if you hit them in their pocket books.

That's what's sad. ... ( 5 days ago by Caeridwyn)
That's what's sad. What needs to happen is exactly what will never happen. We have a brainwashed, apathetic populace that continues to hover around their TV's for answers. We blindly follow leaders over a proverbial cliff. You think Obama will bring change? He might; but not the kind we're looking for. Our nation is well on it's way to complete economic collapse and we as a people are powerless to stop it. Why? Because we can't unite. Better start growing those gardens; you'll need them.
Obama is part of ... ( 5 days ago by He101A)
Obama is part of the system. He is one side of the same coin. If he doesn't it will be in the form of social welfare, heavy taxation, more entitlement programs which is destroying this country. More industries will leave America. Maybe, the ignorant people who voted for Obama will be really happy when their income tax goes up to 50%.Vote for a 3rd party people, and you can bring forth real change. Stop supporting corporate capitalism, it is crony capitalism. America is too polarized for unity.
