2. Ok, this is a must see.

I had a similar thing happen to me at the Pima County INTERFAITH COUNCIL ("leftie christians") "debate" where my candidate was excluded.

Fucking rent-a-cops think they own the world -- Fuck 'em...

I didn't leave and I'm glad these folks didn't...

Now why has this thread only got One Rec and 2 posts???

This is fascism -- these are the Gestapo!!!

12. Miller's Secret Police. MIller has delusions of grandeur and an

inflated ego.

3. excellent video!! good work.

the security guys appear to be robots, are they human?

13. Two of them are evidently off-duty military

so the answer would be "no."

Goon squad Fascists.

6. Who's paying for this goon outfit?

I'm betting it's the GOP. Miller must have requested protection.

Is there anyone in Alaska who would vote for this fascist wannabe after seeing this?

8. Without doubt someone needs to find out who's funding this

goon squad.

9. I just read an article on the Alaskan Dispatch website about this.

Miller was telling national media that the school "required" him to hire security; however, when the media checked with the school's spokeswoman, she said that was not true. She also presented the media with a copy of the school's policy, which stated that whenever the school is booked by an outside party (no pun intended), the "security" required by the school consists of watching the doors to make sure no food or drinks enter into the school.

Why did he make that up & what is he hiding?

7. This is freakin' gold!

Miller could've saved his party a lot of money by just quitting.
As it is, he just wasted tons of GOP funds and pretty much threw the election with this mess.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever!

10. My first thought when I watched this was Blackwater

and that seems to be on target.

It is bizarre enough to have a reporter “arrested” by private security, but those of us who drive past The Drop Zone, the business behind Miller’s security, every day aren’t surprised by their over-reach or connection to Joe Miller.
The only thing more extreme than the weather and wildlife in Alaska is the politics. The Drop Zone was a sponsor of Palin apologist and former radio host, Eddie Burke. The DZ bragged to patrons about their security squad being littered with former Blackwater operatives. Not disclosing full names and a preference for cash transactions were commonplace. A poster of President Obama as the Joker hangs in their front window.

11. "America: Land of the Free, Home of the Brave"

I guess we'll be rewriting that slogan if this kind of thing persists...

14. Was that security guard on the left doing the safety dance?

:rofl:
