The office of the Vice President has surely undergone a transformation in recent years: from Dan Quayle to Dick Cheney is a long way to travel. The role of the VP, with Cheney acting as the eminence grise of the Bush regime – and, some would say, the real President – has been amplified to the nth degree, and it looks like the administration of Barack Obama is going to continue this ominous tradition.

It is interesting to witness the response to Alex Jones’ confrontation with Michelle Malkin at the DNC in Denver on August 25. If the comments posted on Infowars are any indication, a large number of people disagree with Alex’s method of confrontation, even find it repulsive. “That was a bit harsh and immature, to say the least. Alex makes himself and the movement against the New World Order look bad by behaving in such a radical manner,” writes one. “Did Kurt Nimmo actually write that she should be arrested? For having an opinion?” adds another.

After marching from civic center park to the Pepsi Center where the convention will convene Monday the protesters started to disperse after being told to turn around by riot police.
