The Best Chronicle of a Protest EVER
Hot Air (linked to Looking at the Left) ^ | El Marco

Posted on 08/08/2009 12:31:52 PM PDT by jessduntno

Denver photojournalist El Marco was at the event and has an amazing pictorial essay detailing how Pelo-cchio’s Astroturf brigade had to be coached by professional organizers — including several day laborers who didn’t speak English and couldn’t tell what the signs they were holding read. And they accuse Tea Party folks of being puppets?!

Wow! I thought that looked like you, but I'd only met you that one time and didn't know where you were from. You are awesome, lady!!! I'm not worthy!

If they continue ripping down our signs, I suggest we start shoving the sticks up their asses.

You can take one look at the signs and it is immediately apparent that the signs of the right are all home made and the signs of the left are printed up and distributed by the DNC or one of their puppet organizations. Conclusion: the lefties are all paid. Just like back when we were protesting the income tax in Tennessee, the “pro-income tax” people would all arrive at 9 a.m. and leave at 4 p.m. when their shift was over.

Please join the “You’re Fired” Campaign putting politicians in office on notice. The American people have been betrayed. Arrogant Elitist Politicians care about nothing but personal power. Please read the details of this campaign and forward this to your email address book. Print it out and hand it to your neighbors and friends. Our country and our freedom are at stake as well as your children and grandchildren’s futures. If you do nothing else, forward this to everyone and forward it to your elected Elitist. Time to clean out the Congress and start over with patriotic Americans with integrity that love this country more than their own personal power.

That was great! I also sent a “fishy” email signing up flag@whitehouse.gov to receive info from www.healthcareforamericanow.com (the website on the lefties signs), and encourage everyone else to do likewise.

The day laborers were just part of a group of illegals who came to the meeting to thank her for free health care.

I'm thinking of going down to the corner and pick some up to go the next dem town hall, so they can thank the congress member in person.

Excellent chronology of Soviet-style protest tactics, organized by the Democratic Party and paid for by all of us. Bookmarked and pinged.

I went to the link and read the post (took two tries to get through). It was a great article!

The “rubber chicken” lady trying to muffle the bullhorn gave me an idea- Someone should take along a bullhorn to these protests (I looked, and they are available for a very reasonable price on Ebay), along with a box of foam earplugs (which are available everywhere). Simply hand out earplugs to everyone, and then, when an “organizer” shows up with a bullhorn, stand directly in front of him and debate him at top volume!

I live deep in the heart of Texas, so I’m not likely to have the chance to use this idea (we had *one* counter protester at our tea party in April), but if somone would like to try it, I will be glad to buy a bullhorn and have it shipped to you (limit of one- I’m poor :)

Clip his mic cord and tell him he can have an appointment in 6 months, at which time I’ll provide some electrical tape.

So, these people are at this location because of a direct call from the President of United States!< /i>

Was only half listening last night, but someone on Hannity said if anyone gets hurt he could be held legally liable.

to your list

Rep Chris Murphy got 200 people to oppose him at Simsbury on Wednesday in Connecticut

Rep Joe Courtney held a small townhall meeting filled with out of state Union workers and supporters who did not live in his district at the Woodstock Town Hall on Thursday.

The cat is saying, "I'm not worthy!" to Dinah Lord, who sparred with an aggressive leftist and a lying reporter at a recent Tea Party.

Yes. ..thanks for sharing this!

What spirit; and some of the best signage! Speaking of those that are 'original' of course; as opposed to the authentic 'community organizing elements'. Never heard of these groups! Just want to chant to these 'inauthentics'; the 'old' chant. . .I know you are - but what am I!/lol/sigh. . .

That said; can only say: 'to the Good Guys!

You are the 'light' of America!'.

[“My organizer called me.” I said “You’re kidding.” She said, “No, look: he’s right there (-pointing to the guy with the bullhorn–) he’s from Organizing for America.”]

The MSM media; only have to take the 'word' out of their own collective mouths. . .and put our name on it. Yep; Joe and Mary; with their 'Organizer'. . .

Would ask how these people and the MSM that support them; sleep at night. We already know the answer, of course. Those who 'suck blood' - do not. . .
