<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 418875, member: 11521&quot;]I hope this does not cross the line into political discussion and violate the board rules. If it does I apologize and will understand if the mods delete it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Democratic National Convention kicked off today in Denver. As is the case with every National Convention, protesters have flocked to the host city. Some of the protests and protesters can be downright strange.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Today a group of 75 anti-war protesters took their protest to the Branch Mint in Denver where they tried to &#039;levitate&#039; the Mint. Their aim was to shake the money out of the Mint so they could redistribute the wealth.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.9news.com/news/watercooler/article.aspx?storyid=98379&amp;catid=337" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.9news.com/news/watercooler/article.aspx?storyid=98379&amp;catid=337" rel="nofollow">Activists try to &#039;levitate&#039; Denver Mint</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The protesters were momentarily distracted when they started shouting at a conservative columnist who was taking photos of the protest. In the end their efforts to levitate the Mint building failed. No word on whether the conservative columnist has been blamed for their failure. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you would like to see a slideshow of the protest you can see it <a href="http://www.9news.com/9slideshows/Denver%20Mint%20Protest%20-%20Aug.%2025,%202008/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.9news.com/9slideshows/Denver%20Mint%20Protest%20-%20Aug.%2025,%202008/" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>. If you have never seen the Denver Mint you can get a few glimpses of it in some of the photos. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(By the way, isn&#039;t it illegal to wear a mask in public?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
