Question

Answer 1

To highlight what a bunch of mornons the left really are.

Answer 2

Republicans canceled most of the scheduled events today, and news people covering the convention need something to talk about.

Answer 3

I dont know for sure. But I think a lot of people are fed up with Bush and the republicans, to where people have frustrations severely about how bad they have all run this country in the toilet. People have no sympathy for the republicans. But yet when Clinton was in he took a deficit and turned it into one our largest surplus's ever. People had jobs and the economy was alot better. Bush gets in and and all of that went straight down the toilet very quickly. Bush is a total dumbass and people are so ready for change. Did you know McCain voted with Bush on 90% of Bush's ideas. I wouldnt bet change on that . You know McCain is against Abortion too and good for him, But if gas is $5 a gallon and people cant get jobs, believe me on those peoples mind, whether Abortion is legalized or not, that is the last issue they are concerned about. Criminalizing Abortion does not help our economy one bit. Thats just to ease peoples minds. It doesnt phase the economy. Go Democrats!

Answer 4

The liberal loonies needed something to do while waiting for that welfare check - - pure entertainment to them I suppose.  If they really gave a c**p they would be headed down in New Orleans to help with the aftermath.  Liberals seem to stand for nothing - pure emptiness.

Answer 5

That's a simple enough question - and certainly not one that the democrats and their "unbiased mass media" perception will be able to answer with any real validity.

Answer 6

Perhaps there are more protesters.  

Answer 7

It was the level of violence at the Republican convention, not the protests themselves.

Did you see fox news coverage, it was great, people kept chanting fox news sucks, and they aired it.

Answer 8

Because everyone knows that the protesters at the Dem Convention was staged by the Dems because very very few people disagree with them. The numbers are large protesting at the Rep Convention because again it's the large numbers of Dems.

Answer 9

I missed the whole thing apparently :(.  What went on?  And the media apparently don't want any sort of negativity in the news regarding the democrats--as usual.  Maybe that's why?

Answer 10

The protesting at the DNC was much milder, and the police in Denver didn't allow the protesters to get as close.

MN is a liberal state, as is the city of St. Paul, so they allowed them to get closer.

Answer 11

The "media" cheered and rooted for Obama openly. Of course they would cover liberal protests. It's a carryover from the Dem convention. What, are you watching CNN/MSNBC? Try Fox News.

Answer 12

Probably because the protests at the DNC were relatively quiet. Police were pepper-spraying and arresting people at the protests today. And by that time the hurricane story wasn't as "hot"-- New Orleans escaped major damage.

The protests at the DNC may be not what you'd like people to know about, if want them to believe that anti-Democrat protestors didn't get their air time. They were not right-wing protests! The LA Times did cover them.

Answer 13

Some of the protesters turned to violence...ironic, don't you think?

Answer 14

because the media supportss the socialist democrat party  

Answer 15

Because very little is going on at the convention.  Also, most of the planned demonstrations in Denver fizzled.

Answer 16

I think these protestors became extremely angry because before the convention started, their homes were being raided by the local police and some were arrested in their homes because they had organized protests for the convention.  Some violence occurred.

Answer 17

Because of the overdone coverage of this by the left wing lame stream media

Answer 18

Because Gustav is no longer news and there is nothing else to report

Answer 19

Probably because nothing is going on inside.

Answer 20

Because there are a lot more protesters, for the obvious reason there are a lot more flaws in the republican party
