Radical Right-Wing Groups Plan Counter-Protest
Source: www.shockedandawful.com



Two extreme radical right-wing groups, "Move America Forward" and "A Gathering of Eagles" will be holding a morning rally on the National Mall, in Washington, D.C., either at 4th Street or 7th Street. They plan to arrive early and stay all day on Saturday, Sept. 15. The rally will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end by 11:30 a.m. so that they can all get to International ANSWER’s march route on time.

They have a permit application to line the sidewalk along ANSWER’s march route. The precise locations are also being negotiated with the DC Park Service.

They plan to be able to announce precise locations for the rally and march route after Wednesday, Sept. 5.

I'm just doing my part in keeping an eye on these bums.

17. But will the have enough portapotties for all 30 people - and will enough people show up to keep
the unwashed huddled masses from using their portapotties?

His rotgut is in a WHITE paper bag.

;-)

Well, after all, they can't be TOO choosy about those they pay to stand with them to make their "crowds" appear bigger.

4. Really, two different groups?
Why don't the two of them stand together -- then they could go occupy a two-person table for lunch. ;-)

7. Someone should have a sign:
"I you think you can kick my ass, why isn't yours in Iraq?"

8. Better yet, someone should bring some enlistment forms to toss at them.
Let's see them put their money (and their cocks) where their mouths are.

:grr:

14. standard response: "I'm too old" (wait a few months, I'm sure they'll raise
the max age again)

"It's a volunteer army" (when they are confronted with the fact that they raised a bunch of chickenshit weenies who think they're doing more for this country by lining their pockets ...)

28. Your standard respose should be ...
Are you 42 or younger?
Yes? Then you can sign up.
Here an enlistment form!

16. Hear, Hear! If they're able to stand there and hold signs and walk and
protest and act like assholes in public and harrass people, they CERTAINLY are capable of serving their country and THEIR "president" in his beloved war over there. If they're patriots, they really ought to. TOO MANY of our troops have been there too long and are hoping and praying to be able to come home.

9. "Line the sidewalk"
Difficult to "line" a sidewalk when it's six guys leap-frogging one another to keep up with the thousands of marchers they're supposedly countering.

13. They'll...
They'll do what they did in NYC, back in '04: They'll take up residence at the street corners along the rally route.

12. Not Enough Flags
There aren't enough flags to hide behind, when these villains try to conceal the many crimes of the Bush administration.

But they'll still try.

15. ooo. scary. fat old guys and their plump gals.
I do predict that these sad clowns will be outnumbered 10,000-1. Of course as others have noted, the media will give them at least 50% of the coverage.

24. And do you consider her scary?
Think before answering. She might be reading this.
Super-model's are generally non-scary too.
I rest my case.

All kidding aside, if those idjit's intent is to scare us they are failing miserably. Not scary.

I've run into those 'legends in their own minds' protest warriors at demonstrations. I like to get right up in their faces. Other folks just as ornery and stubborn as me do the same thing. Pretty soon the vaunted protest warriors get all nervous and itchy and move along to get away from the strange folks who are way too close to them. Seems like they really don't like eating their own dog food.

I've had my run-ins with these slime-balls.

During the '04 protest at the GOP convention in NYC, the Port Authority police forbid me to carry my flag, and flag pole, onto the city's subway - the fellow said something about security concerns.

I had won the flag that had flown over my Marine Corps battalion headquarters during Desert Storm in a raffle, when my Reserve unit was de-activated from active duty, at the end of that conflict.

It was this flag that I carried with me to New York City.

He told me I had to dump them, the flag and the pole, before getting on the train.

I asked the guy if he seriously thought I was going to put my flag into a city trash dumpster, and after a moments consideration, the guy told me I could take the flag, but had to leave the wooden pole.

So I boarded the train, and began my personal protest against the Bush administration with my flag draped around my shoulders.

During the march, one of these protest warriors, a rather attractive - though quite delusional - petite, blonde, Manhattanite, made the comment that I was being disrespectful to the flag by draping it around my shoulders.

"It's just wrong to carry the flag that way," the gal said to me.

I told the girl, "Look, here, toots... George Bush has been wrapping himself up in the flag ever since September 11th... don't fault me if I choose to do so, for just this one day."

These clowns are in desperate need a good thrashing, and if they want to go looking for a fight on the 15th - they'll find one.

22. Who's the guy flipping his finger?
Must be the organization's liaison officer for media relations. Either that or he's showing off his I.Q.

27. The best way to counter these groups? ...
Everyone should show up with a military enlistment form,
and start handing them out to the counter-protestors.

If they want to support this war, they should be on the frontline
and really support this war.

You can download applications from the ARMY website at:
