Protest group splits with Re-create '68

Tent State University today notified Re-create '68, the chief local protest group organizing for the 2008 Democratic National Convention, that it is severing ties because of R-68's image and its oftentimes heated rhetoric, reports Chuck Plunkett.

"We don't feel that Re-create 68 is working well with the anti-war left," said Adam Jung of Tent State University.

Below is a video of Glenn Spagnuolo of Re-create '68, interviewed by PoliticsWest editor Stephen Keating on May 2, after the announcement of a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and protest groups against the city of Denver and the U.S. Secret Service regarding the convention. In it, Spagnuolo says that Re-create '68 is not a front group, is "non-violent," and wants access to conduct protests near the Pepsi Center, where the convention will be held in August.
