- You probably would have been filled full of holes long before you hit
- the ground. The RNC hired commerical roadies to do the lighting,
- special effects, etc... for them. My brother in law was in charge of
- a part of the show (I'm being vague, because I don't trust this government
- not to violate my or his civil liberties). He is fairly moderate,
- which means he is a flaming liberal in the eyes of the RNC.
-
- We jokingly suggested he should arrange a Clinton banner to drop down behind
- Bush during his speech. This would have been impossible. Every peice
- of equipment, every possible sign, banner, or anything that could do harm
- or show up on TV was examned by the secret service, the RNC, and a seperate
- hired squad. They had agents posted everywhere, ready to turn off lights,
- pull plugs, or whatever to make sure that no inappropriate messages were
- seen on TV. For example, one woman deligate was found trying to sneak in a
- Pro Choice flag, and she was jailed on trumped up charges until after
- the convention was over.
-
- For example, did you know that all of those hand painted signs (such as the
- cute sign "Woody Allen is Clintons Family Advisor") were made by the RNC
- staff, and handed out to deligates with an eye to camaera coverage. Deligates
- were not allowed to make or modify thier own signs. One member of the Arizona
- deegation was very upset because he had a sign that said "Az 'heart' AuH2O",
- but this wasn't allowed because Goldwater is considerted to be too
- liberal (OH YEAH?). The guy has been on at least 2 call in talk shows
- to complain about this. This life long republican is probably going to
- vote for Clinton because the republicans convention was too far right for
- an Arizonan who likes Goldwater ...

- Of course, Pat Robertson did say that feminists wanted women to "leave their
- husbands, kill thier children, practice withcraft, and vote communist".
