Journalists from "Al Jazeera" have been turned away by the patriotic residents of Golden Colorado and their City Manager, Mike Bestor. The name "Al Jazeera" instantly caused an outcry of patriotic protest. Residents attended a City Council Meeting, pressured the City Manager whose name is Mike Bestor into withdrawing a private invitation to his backyard barbeque for the purpose of broadcasting coverage of the Democratic National Convention. Objections consisted of the mere idea of the invitation is hurtful to our troops in the Middle East and our veterans back home.

Why were these journalists disinvited?
I dare both our U.S. alternative media and our mainstream media to suck up to the powers -that - be at the Democratic National Convention who in turn should pressure Golden's City Council. The City Manager needs to keep his job and be appreciated for this diplomatic stroke of genius.
Jealousy jealousy. An unreasonable fear of white Anglo - Saxon names, perhaps? Does the Democratic National Convention have to coddle the relatives of our troops, the troops themselves and our veterans to this extent to get their vote?
Summer is a bummer.
