Anarchists Making DNC Riot Plans

As the Rocky Mountain News (nervously) reports, courtesy of Colorado Confidential:

It’s been less than two weeks since Denver won the 2008 Democratic National Convention and already a group of local activists has scored a coup for its plan to shock the Democrats with a massive protest rally.

The plan: People who log on to Web sites with such names as DenverDNC.org or 2008DenverDNC.org will find themselves directed to the site of Recreate68.org, a Web site “created for all the grassroots people who are tired of being sold out by the Democratic Party.”

The site goes on to promise demonstrations that will rival those at the notorious 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago, which was accompanied by street battles between police and anti-war demonstrators. There’s even a form that allows out-of-town anarchists to reserve a room…

It’s all part of the show, folks, though Niketown at the Denver Pavilions might want to invest in tougher windows.
