In 2008, after the DNC had left Denver, Shout Bits reported on the many deceptions and whitewashes designed to make Denver shine. Denver is without a doubt a far left city; Republicans don’t even bother to field candidates for Mayor. Any troubles Denver might face cannot be blamed on anyone other than its own far left politicians. Mayor Hickenlooper temporarily cleaned up the graffiti, relocated the dozens of homeless that sleep on the streets, and temporarily patched the broken sidewalks. Things immediately returned to normal after the MSNBC crew left. Every block of LoDo (the neighborhood that hosted the convention) now is covered with graffiti, and has at least one bum sleeping in building vestibules or on city benches.

What was not reported by any old time news outlet is the violence narrowly averted during the DNC. Shout Bits has learned from credible sources within the Denver Police that groups like Recreate ’68 and Tent City planned violence in the streets. Shout Bits was at the time surprised by the anemic turnout by these radical socialist groups; their numbers were dwarfed by the police, reporters, and lawyers that followed their protests. Compared to a typical G8 conference, these radicals were weaklings

It turns out the relative peace at the DNC was not thanks to the restraint of the radical socialists. Shout Bits has learned from a presentation by a high ranking Denver Police officer that the Denver Police had infiltrated these violent socialist groups. Before any violent plans could materialize, the undercover officers tipped off uniformed riot police. Further, this intelligence lead to the recovery of stashes of rocks, bricks, and even a handgun left under alleyway dumpsters. When the Maddows and Garofalos of the world accuse Tea Party activists of violence and hate, they should remember that Tea Partiers do not need undercover investigations to save entire neighborhoods from chaos.

Shout Bits accused Denver of whitewashing its social failures during the DNC, but it turns out the deception ran much deeper. Radical youth socialist groups were poised and equipped to destabilize the streets of Denver. The old time media surely knows of this story, but where is the reporting? They should be certain they are not supporting a radical socialist agenda by refusing to report on the ugly underbelly of the Denver DNC. The next time Glen Beck rails against the resurgence of 1960′s radicals among today’s leftists, the sad truth is the threat is real.
