Secret Service confiscates books & buttons from Ron Paul delegates

Today at the Republican National Convention, as the Ron Paul Delegates were taking a picture in front of the model White House inside the Convention Center, they were surrounded by Secret Service which proceeded to search the bags of all the delegates. They took any and everything related to Ron Paul including signs, buttons, videos, slim jims, cards, even books.

Alternate Delegate Dennis Rothacker from Florida said “We were done taking the picture when Secret Service started walking into the room and surrounded us. There were about 30 of them. When they searched my bags they took my Ron Paul sign and turned a deaf ear to my complains, they just walked away.”

Delegate Ron Warner from Fairbanks Alaska added that as he was walking into the convention center today with about 15 Revolution Manifesto books, 20 DVD’s for Delegates, 20 Ron Paul buttons and a handful of other things, we was stopped by security which called on an obviously important higher up, who directed all the materials to be confiscated. She told him, and I quote “You can’t bring that in here, this is Mc Cain territory”

The Washington Times reports the GOP using “Black Hats” to suppress
the 260 delegates identified as supporting Ron Paul.

It probably wasn't the Secret Service ... It was probably Black Water.

is this information (about seizures from Ron Paul people) being reported by anyone other than Washington Times?

Yeah, probably http://www.waynemadsenreport.com lol

Thats ok, after Nov 5 its American territory and heads are going to roll big time.

And now I see there was some...er... confusion about the links. The report that materials are being taken from Ron Paul supporters by the Secret Service comes from the "Daily Newscaster" blog, and the WT is reporting that the GOP is wearing black caps to identify themselves, and their job is to remove protesters. (The tickets note that they are revocable at any time.)

So, let me correct my question and ask if there is anyone other than the "Daily Newscaster" reporting that the secret service "confiscates books & buttons from, Ron Paul delegates (at the RNC)"

If this is true it really sucks.

If WHAT is true? That GOPers assigned to remove people from the floor wore black hats. (So what if that's true?) Or if it's true that members of the Secret Service were arbitrarily confiscating books and buttons from Ron Paul supporters? I have yet to find ANYONE else reporting that, except blogs repeating this single source. But if you see another, let us know and provide links.

Seems to me there were enough real wrongs being committed at the RNC to warrant LOTS of legitimate criticism that it seems quite a waste of time to invent more. But some folks do get so caught up in some kind of thrill in victimhood that they just can't resist, and so want to have their own personal story of horror.

Ron Paul supporters were considered armed and dangerous; they were armed with knowledge and dangerous because fear mongering was ineffective on them.
