>>Did anyone else see the video of Obama supporters attempting to block the path of Palin's motorcade in Grand Junction? It was CNN, but a similar one is also here:

No, it's just idiots. :o)

I don't think the party itself is really behind it or even knew of it either. My sister lives in GJ and she is a hardcore Obama supporter. I mean really hardcore. She campaigns for him almost 16 hours a day 7 days a week. She didn't know anyone was going to do anything so stupid. She knew some were going to line up along the route, but no one knew anyone was going to walk out into traffic to block the motorcade (which is not allowed to stop no matter what hence the cop throwing inself into the crowd to move them out of the way). The cops along the route are given the briefings by the secret service. Because people actually might throw IEDs or shoot or anything, the secret service does not allow them to stop no matter what. Those people would've gotten hit by the vehicles and one of the cops almost did in his effort to move the folks out of the way. That cop deserves a medal.
