They Hate Our Freedom

[via Pacifica]

Heroic independent journalist Amy Goodman was detained today while covering the RNC and RNC protests. She's used to this sort of crap, of course, having covered tyrants many times before. The repressive measures in place during the DNC last week were already problematic in some circumstances (although the threat from indigenous racist hate groups to Obama is all too horrifyingly real), but the brutal police state in evidence this week for the Republican Convention is completely outrageous.



In a post yesterday entitled "Tase R Nation," Digby (another heroic independent voice), provided a valuable list of resources for those who want to explore these issues in the depth they demand.
