"Lawsuit planned after protesters put on terror list," a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review headline tells us.
What on earth could that be about?
[Pennsylvania] paid a Philadelphia-based nonprofit $125,000 to compile the list as part of the state Homeland Security's federally mandated mission to protect public infrastructure.
And Gene Stilp of Harrisburg's name was apparently on it.
Why? What terror threat does he pose?
Stilp said he believes he was among those monitored, based on [Governor] Rendell's comment that a 25-foot inflatable "pink pig" Stilp takes to rallies was included in the monitoring...Stilp owns the pig and frequently displays it at the Capitol at protests over what he sees as government excesses.
And then what happened?
Homeland Security officials distributed the list in a security bulletin to government and law enforcement officials — including Pittsburgh City Council members — as well as universities and gas drilling companies.
I'm surprised they didn't also give it to newspapers demanding to publish lists of concealed carry permit holders--after all, the argument for that is they're public records. Besides, don't you want to know who the extremists/terrorists/hatriots in your neighborhood are?
At first, Gov. Rendell agreed a government list of protesters was "'tantamount to trampling' on their Constitutional rights." He's since had a John Kerry instant polar shift moment, and is now merely "deeply embarrassed."

Of course it should be banned. Muslims will object to it.
Did he name it “Obama”?
Hey, it worked for Pink Floyd....hehe
One of the best things about inflatable pink pigs is that it will offend Islamofacists and the porky ruling class at the same time. I’m thinking we should substitute one for the snake on that yellow Gasden flag. That ought to really make their heads explode!
Gene Stilp, director of Taxpayers and Ratepayers United, Inc., brought his pink pig to a press conference at the Capitol in Harrisburg in July 2009 to mark the fourth anniversary of the legislative pay-raise.
It depends on what you do with it. If you use it like they used Ned Beatty in Deliverance then you need help. Squeal like a pig
OMG, look at those nefarious snails!
Pardon me, but is that Meghan McCain? I didn’t know she made the terrorist list. LOL
...for later reading....
HUMMMM, were the radicals that were demonstrating against Haliburton in downtown Houston get put on the list?
They had a GIANT pink pig, screaming at everyone that went buy.
Step one: Get people to support the stopping of sales of firearms (and later the confiscation thereof) of anyone on secret “Watch lists”.
Step two: Begin secretly adding more and more people to said lists for any old reason (such as owning an inflatable pig)or believing in the 2nd amendment, limited government, etc.
Rinse and repeat until all of the “wrong” people are disarmed.
Any questions?
What about Rendell’s union buddies who bring a giant inflatable rat to job sites they are picketing? Are they on the list?
Thanks. I was just going to say that this thread is worthless without pictures.
There must be a company that sells pink blow up pigs or would make them in quantity. We need to start bringing them to tea parties. Maybe we can all get on the list!
