VIDEO:  A Voter Block: "Denver and the DNC"
 
 
Like Virgil leading Dante through the "Inferno" I took a walk around downtown Denver with the lead organizer for Recreate 68, Glenn Spagnuolo. We talked about the differences in this year's protest and protests of yore. Fortunately, Rennie Davis of the original Chicago 7, was able to provide some insight as to where today's protest movements are missing something that was present in the late 1960s.

I could give a **** about all these left wing liberal celebrity supporters rooting for Obama. Personally, it solidifies my position in voting for a Republican when I watch the VMAs and hear all these cracks on our President. If I see celebs like Kanye and Fall Out Boy, voting, I'll vote the opposite - Democrat or Republican.

You probably aren't much of a Daddy Yankee fan either...at least you watched the VMAs.
