We Have A Simple Plan to Counter Protest Sarah Palin

[johnnyplankton]

Using a model effectively deployed by a San Francisco group when combating the hate-filled Westboro Baptist Church (the God Hates Fags people),

We have decided to employ a simple response to Ms. Palin & her Tea Party minions by creating our own Party - the Nut-Tea Party headed by their spokes critter, Nutty the Squirrel.


The short description of what we intend to do is this:

1) WEAR Something Blue (So People Know Why You're There)

2) MAKE A Sign or Banner (Suggestions Below Or Make Up Your Own FUNNY or SILLY sign - nothing heavy, man! If You Can't Make a Dopey Sign, Wear Blue and Show Up Anyway. Maybe Someone Nice Will Make Extra Signs (Hint, Hint Artsy Craftsy Types!)

3) CALL-EMAIL-TWEET Your Friends/Organizations to Do The Same. Let's Start A Good Virus For Once!

4) SHOW UP! At the Common April 14th at 9:30AM (Car pool, MBTA, Gossamer Wings)

5) HAVE FUN! (And Play Nice, Walk Away Laughing)

1. 6) Spellcheck. Double-check your buddie's signs. Tell someone if their sign is upside down. n/t

2. Signs should probably be tasteful though, yes?

I probably shouldn't use, "I can see a bitch from my house!"

And probably not this:

3. This is a profoundly stupid idea...

that will make us look as asinine as the Palin groupies. The best counterprotest to the Westboro Baptist Church to date was the college kid who turned a Phelps Family appearance into a fund drive for causes that the WBC would despise. It's the lemons-into lemonade priciple. Shame the greedy, self-absorbed teabaggers by visibly collecting for charities that help the truly disadvantaged in our society during their whiny, it's-all-about-me event.

Sinking to their level will backfire in a big way. Don't do it.
