DES MOINES, Iowa -- Peace protestors mixed with Ron Paul supporters prevented Huckabee from entering his Des Moines headquarters through the front door. Three people were arrested and then reporters were allowed back in to shoot footage of Huckabee glad-handing volunteers in his headquarters. This was immediately following his 2:00 p.m. ET new s conference.


Following a hilarious news conference:

Publicity.

Don't bother replying saying it's bad. I wish the blog post had bit more information. I hate those lazy bastards at MSNBC.

I think Top 3 in Iowa is better publicity than acting like children.

Huckabee was forced to abruptly end his press conference as the questioning of his motives by an amused press corps only seemed to build. He left the room in the Des Moines Marriott to do a drop-by visit of his campaign headquarters across the street. He was met there by a gaggle of Ron Paul supporters who surrounded the office and heckled the candidate for his support for the war in Iraq.

o boy

You guys must be joking. Why try and pull this shit right before the election? What does it accomplish?

Sigh.....

I don't see how they were preventing him from getting in. Hopefully it were the peace protesters that had issues.

More fuel for the fire:" Paul supporters are a bunch of nuts"

It's sometimes difficult to tell where thr protesters end, and RP supporters begin in these crowds. There are some that belong to both groups, which is why you see them together many places. I'm not trying to say anything bad about any of them, but the tactics for the two groups are different and they need to maintain separation at these type of things.

I doubt any Ron Paul supporter was involved/arrested. Anyone who is actually a Ron Paul supporter would know better.

Until I see a picture of a person in a Ron Paul shirt with handcuffs, this can just be considered being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It's not that big of a deal, happens in every election.

Trying explaining "this story is vague" to posters like these.


Funny how they take the words of MSM. "If this all true of course....." So if MSNBC came out saying RP supporters were the problem, these people would jump the barrel and cause huge chaos in these forums calling names to all RP supporters when in reality they might be only 5-10 people involved in the incident.

This is how these kind of issues blow up right in our face and cause chaos in forums.

Hopefully that's not the case. We need to keep it cool in these forums.

For all we know they were peacefully protesting on the sidewalk out front, on public property, and the Huckabee goons called the cops to have them removed rather than walk around or through them.

Even though it's public property, it's his storefront, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is some law that allows them to be removed.

Or maybe they just refused to move to a designated "Free Speech Zone". We've heard that one before.

The fact of the matter is that we just don't know, so let's not jump to conclusions bashing our own people.
