I don't agree with their politics. I don't agree with their methods. And I certainly don't agree with a poster featuring Barack Obama next to a bloody, aborted fetus and the claim that "A Vote for Obama is a Vote for Dead Children," as the poster boldly asserted.

But I also don't agree that elderly priests need to be arrested for staging an anti-abortion protest outside the Pepsi Center at the DNC in Denver, as this man was earlier this afternoon.

He and a few other protesters were taken away -- gently -- for sitting down before the gate leading into the ultra-secure Convention central headquarters. Yes, they were obstructing foot traffic, but not much else.

More than anything, the arrests provided a great photo-op for the dozens of photographers and videographers that were crowding in around them. In fact, it looked as if those of us with cameras outnumbered the protesters -- even a cop was filming the action.
