[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 394577, member: 2189"] Yesterday the Washington Times had a story on what were called "Black Hats" at the republican convention whose job it was to police the convention floor for troublemakers. A couple of examples were "Code Pink" protestors who gained access to the convention floor via false press passes and I concur with their removal. However, the main job as it turns out was to actually police the 200 plus Ron Paul delegates who by electoral process were voted by their states to be at the convention. What I found interesting about the story was that it seems to have now been pulled. Here's the deal. I had the link which showed website not available and displayed a 404 code which among it's several reasons means the webpage has been pulled. It may be absolutely nothing at all (maybe a maintenance issue)but I just find it rather curious after all the crap the Paul delegates had to go through at the convention. And if the webpage was pulled, why was it pulled or who authorized it's pulling and for what reason? Should we even be concerned at all that our free press is not as free as we think it is? I have no problem with the removal of the Code Pink people or others who are there to disrupt the convention itself. However, if a Paul delegate is there and acting according to decorum and is no more advancing their candidate than any McCain supporter, I've got a real problem with this process. No argument McCain was the winner going away but the simple fact is an electoral process was held state to state and in some states there was another voice choosen to be sent to the convention to act upon their beliefs and ideals. There is mounting evidence of a concerted effort to suppress at the convention within the delgates themselves and I have a real problem with that. Some comments in regards to this whole process.
