Fox News personnel ... safe in Denver?

When I saw the Fox News anchors reporting live at the Denver Democrat Convention last night, I wondered if there were any safety issues since they are so reviled by liberals on the left. Reviled ... not just "not liked" ... in an atmosphere where protesters are threatening to "Recreate '68," a duplication of the disastrous Democrat Convention of 1968 in Chicago.

Where was John McCain in 1968? He was a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Apparently there are safety issues in Denver, as pointed out by Yankee Phil. First Amendment rights? Freedom of speech? Kum-ba-ya? Not for these anti-war protesters.

Fox News reported on the anti-war march that began at the Capitol in Denver:

About 1,000 anti-war protesters marched to the site of the Democratic National Convention Sunday in Denver, in the first of at least five such rallies planned this week by the group Recreate 68.

The rally began with just a couple hundred demonstrators Sunday morning outside the Colorado State Capitol building, but swiftly grew as they began their trek toward the Pepsi Center, which is under heavy security with the convention set to begin Monday.

Activists like Cindy Sheehan kicked off the event with more than two hours of speeches.

“We’re out here to speak out about the. . .destruction of society and the impact on our own society as we have fewer and fewer resources,” Denver local Jane Cahn told FOXNews.com.

Yee-ow. Glad I'm not in Denver this week.

Do you think Denver is regretting DNC Convention yet?

The Rocky Mountain News is reporting (by way of the Drudge Report) that upwards of 50,000 protesters are looking to "camp out" in the parks around the convention center. The mayor has said no.

First thing I think of with that many people: sanitation. Ugh. Denver would be a sewer.

Second thing: security.

Not only did the mayor say "no" to camping but added that if crowds were not out of the parks by the 11:00 p.m. curfew, the city may turn on the sprinklers.

With all the radical protesters threatening to make this a remake of the summer of 1968 when riots broke out during the Democrat Convention in Chicago, it makes me wonder if Denver is questioning their decision as the site of the DNC Convention....
