"Welcome to American plutocracy."

And just how did the State Police get involved? They must have been on the scene already, which indicates to me that this whole thing was pre-planned. Very disturbing that a political party can use the police in that way. Missouri has taken a giant leap backwards to the 1930's when cops were used to break up Socialist meetings. I don't care if the people there were supporters of Ron Paul or Felix the Cat.

This was just plain wrong.

Really? If you pick up the phone and call the police, they will come. They have little radios in their cars and can get to the scene of a problem quickly. Your supposition is quite silly.

Also caucuses are not like primaries. When a state runs a caucus, it is because the State party "powers that be" have already chosen a candidate that they want rubber stamped. Paul had no chance of winning in that system.

I actually watched the vids at the link, which evidently you didn't have time for. The police have radios? Wow. Who knew? I sure wish I had your superior knowledge about these things.

They were at a political meeting, all of them had the right to be there, but because they weren't voting the way the leadership wanted to vote, they got threatened with arrest.

voter ID laws to thwart off voter fraud! The only ones who commit fraud and voter theft are the GOP.

it's sort of like celebrity death match without the intelligence. lol

Much appreciate your posting here. I hadn't gotten the chance to do so.
