They teach Austrian economics, far from what the GOP is teaching. Also, last I checked, they were against the war and imperialism, but I don't know them too well so I could be wrong. I didn't think there could be imperialist libertarians or socialist libertarians but I guess I was wrong. Dondero,

Dondero, maybe there's not a particular party to blame. Maybe it's the police state, or the military industrial complex, or the simple fact that people with egos have power. Maybe I can bump it back to you, and bring up the neo-cons. Remember them? Been in power for the last 8 years? Look pretty conservative to me. Pick a side, Dondero. Republican or Libertarian. You sound like a friggin' Republican shock-jock sometimes. Is anyone even surprised anymore? Dondero, maybe there’s not a particular party to blame.

No, Eric, blame the Bush administration, the Patriot Act, military commissions act and other laws and big government and the loss of civil liberties as the cause for such police behavior. To those that think Obama would be the solution: he voted for the funding of the war, for the Patriot and other acts and he is especially for big government socialist type and you will see the same sort of action under him.

If I wasn't stone assed broke right now, I'd contribute to that defense fund. Unlike some others here, I hope the charges don't get dropped, but rather get beaten in court. If we were to focus on getting good lawyers for the "Jefferson 1," we could turn this into a publicity stunt for Liberty. Dropping the charges would probably result in less attention being paid to this outrage. A way for the D.C. police to dodge the issue of whether they overstepped their bounds or not. Which they did, by the way. This is rather disturbing. If I wasn’t stone assed broke right now, I’d contribute to that defense fund.

They were not setting out to make some point about freedom; they just wanted to enjoy it. Because they did so in a slightly unorthodox way, they were seen as a threat.

I'm not seeing that noted anywheres in the coverage including on the Blogs. The world has turned upside down. Now the conservatives are the biggest defenders of free speech, and some of the biggest supporters of human rights (freedom for Iraqis from the oppression of Saddam Hussein, against Chavez, Castro and other assorted dictators), and in favor of the initiative process (while Dem blockers seek to stop signature gatherers). And the liberal Democrats have become the Fascists. It’s ironic, these protestors are from the conservative group BureauCrash.

I hate these sorts of incidents; they get to me more than stories of larger rights violations because it just shows how entrenched the "I have a badge" mentality is. Arguably there was a rule violation, but this could have been handled so much better if the police chose to converse rather than confront. If the officer had just tried to engage the dancers reasonably, maybe it would have been a learning experience. I also love the part on the post-arrest video where an officer uses an obscenity, and then when one of the dancers quotes it back to him, the officer tells him not to swear.
