Default Bring your barf bag !

I have been to these "sponsored" conferences. Everyone on this forum already knows what to expect.

I go to them to get a handle on the insurgents and to take names and places. Sometimes it really gets interesting - "Like the "tan" fellow that was selling Communist booklets before the festivities for 25 cents a copy. *( I bought one ). In fact I grabbed a copy of "everything" that was handed out or being sold and it was VERY abundant. That gave me a huge insight on who was who, who was doing what, how they operated and where they were located. Quite an education and quite a shocker.

When I go I keep quiet, don't shout, don't protest, don't demonstrate. I just smile, shake hands and ask questions. They spill their guts.

With MSNBC, Telemundo, a California University, and Voto Latino involved I got the idea of what would be taking place, and noted that the program will air on a Monday night between 10 and 12 pm - when most people who have a job are sleeping.

On the other hand, there was a brief pro illegal immigrant commentator on the old SOS years ago who stated that while he was in college he was a devoted communist. However, after he graduated and started his own business he became a confirmed capitalist...
