We need to be counter protesting against the right wingers who are protesting against Stimulus Bill

[proud2BlibKansan]

Found this on a local blog:

http://michellemalkin.com/2009/02/19/calling-anti-porkulus-activists-next-stopkansas/

Apparently the freepers are planning protests outside of Democrats' offices all across the country.

And seriously, it won't be hard at all to make these idiots look like the dumbshits they are:





More of their protest pictures here: http://stickerpatch.blogspot.com/2009/02/obama-at-dobson-high.html

So let's watch for alerts to their protests and show up and support our Democrats!!

1. How can you come up with a witty reposte to something like that

It's like we're just not even trying to have the same discussion they are.

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. Don't need to be witty

Just smart.

[Mz Pip]

2. Give me

the money Tom DeLay is spending on defense attorneys!

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Good one.

[RB TexLa]

3. Why? They aren't relevent anymore.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. That's exactly what they said to us when we were in the streets

protesting against the war and demanding Bush's impeachment. Exactly the same thing.

[cherokeeprogressive]

4. Let them prance around with their silly signs until they wear holes in their shoes.

Then ignore the living fuck out of them. President Obama SIGNED THE BILL on Tuesday.

They can go fuck themselves.

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. It's personal for me

For 6 years I have been in the streets protesting against Bush and his war. I went to Crawford, Texas and stood with Cindy Sheehan. And I watched these idiots call her a bitch and a traitor because she was challenging the president. I have been to marches in DC where these war mongers assaulted veterans who were marching with us. A friend of mine who lost his son in Iraq was beat up by these people.

Spending money on killing people never bothered them. But spending money on jobs and education and health care is offensive to them.

With every fiber of my being, I detest these people.

So there is NO WAY I am going to ignore them.

But yes I would like to see them go fuck themselves. Hell, I would even pay for the privilege of seeing that :)

[cherokeeprogressive]

14. While I'm sure there is a market for it somewhere, I'd NEVER pay for the privelige of

seeing the ugliest people in the world fucking themselves. Ick!

I was there in Crawford in spirit. Responsibilities at home prevented my being there in person.

I hate the rethugs too. So much so that I wouldn't piss on one's mouth even if his or her teeth were on fire.

This might be a bad comparison, but I think there is something to be gained by ignoring them. I say this because my Ms. HATED me until I started pretending she wasn't even in the room. Now she's my soulmate. Strange how things work.

30. There might be people walking those streets that could believe what they say

there should be some good points to stop them from spreading lies

[Double T]

9. Not everyone opposed to or against the stimulus bill is a right winger.

Burying ourselves further in national debt and rewarding the corrupt american corporations with their asian suppliers is certainly not my idea of meaningful, sustained stimulus.

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. But the right wingers are targeting Democrats

and blaming them for the financial collapse.

The Stimulus Bill will provide needed relief. I am a teacher in a public school and I can't tell you how much we really need the funds we will get from this bill. I went to DC to lobby for it, I believe that strongly in this bill.

[Double T]

13. What are 'you' going to do next year and the year after that?

Our current economic condition can not be resolved by stimulus; until outsourced middle class jobs are returned to America, little or nothing will change. The stimulus at best will provide a dead economy bounce and delay the inevitable by a few months.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Doing nothing was not an option

Thankfully our Democratic Congress agreed.

[Double T]

18. Doing something that quickly yields nothing certainly is not a solution.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. School districts are facing layoffs NOW

Hospitals are within weeks of closing. This is called an emergency. So yes, it was very important to get this bill passed and quickly.

[gratuitous]

22. So what's the solution?

It seems that infrastructure projects, funded by government money, is a pretty good way to create middle class jobs that can't be outsourced to Mexico, India or Malaysia. (It would be a hell of a commute, at the very least.)

And unlike the reckless Republican spending of the last administration, we might actually have something to show for the expenditures beyond a few enriched war profiteers and a lot more filled cemetery plots. Things like improved roads, better rail service, modernized schools, up to date government buildings and offices.

[YvonneCa]

24. I disagree with your premise. It will help stop the bleeding...

...of jobs. It is not enough. The real solution is education of the public...a public who so easily falls for the divisive tactics of Fox News and the Republican operatives. This is the same problem that gave us Bush in 2000 and 2004.

[AlphaCentauri]

31. right winger are trying to use the issue to divide progressives, that's all about

they were not opposed to Bush 700 billions bailout, did they?

[bluestateguy]

10. Oh please

Stupid, overweight white conservatives wouldn't know how to do a street protest if it came up and bit them in the ass.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. All the more reason to show up and outnumber and outsmart them

:)

[Bandit]

16. I & Me are the things that jump out at me from their protest signs.

Do they ever say we?

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. We is not in their vocabulary

[zagging]

17. The stimulus is signed, sealed, and all but delivered

Protests against, and rallyies for, are dead end propositions.

The point is moot.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Tell that to the over 100 people who showed up at my Democratic congressman's office today

[zagging]

23. What exactly did they accomplish?

It really doesn't matter if he signs the bill again. It won't have any more impact. You may as well protest against moon landings.

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Media coverage

[zagging]

26. OK, what did the media coverage accomplish?

Really. The stimulus bill is done and over. What exactly did the media coverage accomplish for the stimulus bill? I'm sure your congress critter loved the ink. Maybe that was the accomplishment?

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. Better media coverage than our war protests get

[zagging]

28. Right, I get it.

But the wars are not over, the stimulus bill is. I can see protesting the war because with enough pressure it can be stopped. The stimulus bill, not so much.

[Seeking Serenity]

32. Not any more moot than the protests against the war or the Bush regime in general.

If felt sufficiently pressured, Congress could go back and revisit, amend, repeal, etc., any statute on the books.

Just because the Congress passes a bill and the president signs it doesn't mean it's there forever, fixed and unchangeable.

Most likely, though, the protesters are just trying to gin up as much opposition to the stimulus act, and thus opposition to the people who passed it, for the 2010 election cycle, not so much as protesting for the act's repeal.

[Telly Savalas]

33. Rep. Moore is smart enough to know that the pressure from a handful of d-bags

is insignificant compared to the possibility of the pressure from the tens of thousands of his constituents who stand to lose their jobs if a solution to our economic problems isn't implemented.

29. despite laryngitis, I called each of the local "news" stations to complain most vociferously

about their coverage of the repuke protestors in Denver on tuesday--pointed out that any competent reporter would have asked them "and just where IS the pork to which you are referring?" and telling the idiot from peyton that ACORN is NOT getting money under the bill. the response of one news director, "well, since the head of the CO gop heads the protest, I would say that gives them credibility", to which I responded, "he's an idiot, so, no, it doesn't".

thank goodness I will have cable access again next week, and won't have to look at the local crap (for which my blood pressure will be infinitely grateful)
