So the FBI says the media may be threatened at Democratic Convention?

[kentuck]

How scared should the media be? Should they watch what they say? What impact will this have on the coverage coming out of Boston? Is this a shot over the bow of the media by the Bush regime? Supposedly, the threat is of domestic origin? Are we looking at yet another anthrax attack on the Democrats?

1. That was my thought, too

Domestic terrorists targeting coverage of the Dem convention?

Now just who would be interested in doing that, HMMMM?

[SalParadise]

2. the biggest threat during the conventions will be

the freepers & the talibornagains - the TRUE clear & present dangers to America.

9. Heh...Talibornagains...

:snicker:

3. Hey, pressmen, here's a nice secure mesh cage

built just for you. Oh, and by the way, we get to check your feeds, recorders and notes for signs of any terrorist activity before you go to press. Don't worry. Trust us. This is for your own safety.

really. we mean it.

[kentuck]

4. Yes, it's for your own safety.....

Just huddle together there...We'll get some water to you sometime today. There's a porta-potty over there in the corner if you need it. Otherwise, just be quiet and everything will work out just fine. It's for your own protection. We actually are thinking of changing the name of the zones to "press protection" units. Remember, you are safer here.

5. Trying to scare them into staying in their secure hotels?

Sort of an Iraqi-nization of the press in Boston.

6. The same questions have gone through my mind

Is this real? That is the dilemma in our country where people in charge known not to be truthful continually issue threat warnings. I sure wish I had my country back.

7. You mean we don't have to listen to those Fox demons....

thank God. CSPAN will be there 24 hrs and will televise the whole convention. Fox, Fok You.

8. no no no

Everyone BUT Faux will be targeted.
That is all.

[lottie244]

10. Is anyone here really worried about the media being targeted?

Of what use have they been in the run-up to the Iraq invasion? And who would want to target the media most now that they seem to be getting some balls? More of the McVeigh types and the KKK types who want to attack anyone and anything not supportive of their idiot king, Bush.

11. jon stewart will be there

12. good grief. Read between the lines

Somebody threatened to blow up the Fox News truck, so now they're making warnings about "domestic terrorists".
