Russian Police Beat Democracy Activists/ The Denver 3--- Yes it happens here.

Let's see if the White House feigns moral outrage at Putins Russia--- uh yeah, like they got a leg to stand on.


ST. PETERSBURG, March 3 -- Police clubbed protesters and dragged them into waiting buses Saturday in response to a defiant demonstration against the Kremlin in the heart of President Vladimir Putin's home town.

The former White House official who ordered three activists expelled from a 2005 Denver public forum with President Bush says it was White House policy to exclude potentially disruptive guests from Bush's appearances nationwide.

The former official, Steve Atkiss, revealed the policy Friday in an interview after two volunteer bouncers identified him and a current White House staffer, Jamie O'Keefe, as the officials who ordered the so-called Denver Three activists to be sent away from the event.
