Batshit Parties (COUNTERPROTEST)
I posted about this earlier elsewhere, and it gave me enough points to post my own!

An idea I had for counter-protests.

Batshit Parties.

yes, you heard right. Batshit Parties.

We should all buy Guano and send it to Republican Representatives, Fox News Pundits, et cetera.

I'm not sure on the details of buying and mailing Guano, but I imagine small sample sizes can be had on the cheap.

We should send these packages with a small note:

"Didn't want you to run out."

in reference (duh) to Jon Stewart saying that Glen Beck might run out of batshit for his crazy.

as for the Actual Tea Parties, I say we take bags of the stuff and sling it at them, seeing as they are dumping tea into our rivers and costing taxpayer money by sending teabags to the government that need to be inspected and dealt with.

What say you, DU?

1. If It's a Concern,
"batshit parties" would seem easier to mock than "tea parties."

2. the entire point is to get these people to see how silly it all is...
like Stephen Colbert's coverage of Glenn Beck's 912project special, where he has the gasmask and diaper and shotgun and so on.

That's what got me thinking of counterprotest, if only to make their events unbearable, and to annoy them, and to fight serious stupidity with serious mockery.

I even thought up the sign I'd bring: 'We're not laughing WITH you..'

at first, the gasmask of colbert's inspired me to seek out Anonymous of 4chan fame, but the chans are all infested with spoiled brats, pedophiles, and lazy stoners (don't be mad, I just don't like the LAZY ones ;D) the idea was to wear gasmasks to the events, like Anonymous wears Guy Fawkes masks to scientology protests, but I figure they wouldn't understand it, and we'd all be arrested or something.

I am so into this idea because where I am, in the dead center of the continental USA, these people are legion and they are confused, racist, and ALL of them have at least 3 guns per head.

just yesterday, I stopped at a stop sign, and some grown men shouted 'nigger lover' at me, as soon as they could read my Obama bumper stickers.

I've even had an employee at McDonald's tell me it was 'Obama's Recession' driving up the price of my Big Mac.

We have Concealed Carry here, and I work with people who pack heat to work. At walmart. yeah, they can't carry while working, but they strap on as soon as they punch the clock. this is in a peaceful town of 5,000.
