An air of discontent is spreading through the rank and file of the Democratic Party. Protestors are streaming into the Queen City with their hand painted signs. What’s notable about these malcontents is their association with environmental groups. The very constituency that Obama and the DNC have pandered to for years.The sidewalk demonstration was orchestrated by the environmental group Greenpeace and the Coalition to March on Wall Street, an umbrella organization of about 70 groups planning to protest at the Sept. 4-6 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
Greenpeace field organizer Monica Embrey said Duke is aligned with the DNC, the chief fundraising organization for the party.
Duke, which recently merged with Progress Energy to form the largest U.S. utility, has used its size and influence to impact the Democratic Party, Embrey said.
For instance, she noted that Duke had given an in-kind donation of $1 million worth of donated office space for the DNC in advance of the convention.
Charlotte is in for a rude awakening. All of those Obamabots with their 2012 bumper stickers will be running for cover when the shit hits the fan. Welcome to the big leagues “uptown” crowd.
