The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appears to be taking no chances when it comes to protecting the upcoming high-profile Democratic and Republican National Conventions from radical protest groups like resistRNC.
As Russia Today reports, the DHS has purchased nearly 150 sets of riot gear to properly equip the Federal Protective Service agents that are tasked with ensuring the safety and well-being of attendees at the convention, as well as the buildings and grounds themselves.
Ever since the rise of the violent Occupy Wall Street movement last fall, a number of protest groups have attempted to interrupt recent political gatherings, including the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
Obama Campaign’s New Ad Features Damage Control For Last Week’s Small Business Gaffe
In response to President Obama’s arrogant comments about American’s lacking the ability to build their own business without assistance, Mitt Romney released an ad that featured a small business owner condemning the President’s remarks. But in a tit-for-tat move, the Obama reelection team released an ad in response to Romney’s small business attack ad.
Unable to defend the outrageous comments made by their boss, the Obama campaign is resorting to their favored tactic of smearing an individual, in order to make that person’s ad appear less effective. Their new ad, cleverly titled “Tampered,” attempts to say that Mitt Romney’s new ad is misleading, and that his campaign has released misleading ads before.
