Republicans Plan To Protest Obama By Firing Bullets ‘Into A Beat-Up Car Bearing Anti-Freedom Policy Ideas’

From tea bags to death panels, from thick thousand-page binders to “don’t tread on me” signs, Republicans have developed some creative ways to visually represent their opposition to health care reform. Now, a conservative group has conceived a new novel way for angry Republicans to express their opposition to ObamaCare.

The Commonwealth Foundation is inviting Pennsylvania candidates for Senate and the governorship “to a shooting range to fire bullets into a junker that represents policy ideas it opposes.” The conservative foundation is billing its FreePA event as a “celebration of the freedoms we enjoy but are under attack by Harrisburg and Washington.” They argued the event embodies both “a healthy love for the right to keep and bear arms and CF’s habit of welcoming debate on the issues”:

The truth is that the opponents of our principles are the ones who refuse to engage in civil discourse about our pressing public policy problems. They know that their anti-freedom agenda is being rejected by the general public, so they won’t show up to public events like LiveFreePA and explain why they want to take away your rights and monitor your behavior, and then tell you and your family how to live your lives. Not only that, now they’re talking to the newspapers proclaiming how you should spend your Saturday on May 8th.

You know what? If I were a nanny-stater, I wouldn’t show up either. And I sure wouldn’t want you to come, have a good time, and show these politicians what gun safety and a sense of humor look like, and be encouraged to keep fighting for freedom. That’s why I hope you’ll join us May 8th to pump a few rounds (or fire a cannon…) into a beat-up car bearing anti-freedom policy ideas like “ObamaCare,” “Card Check,” “Cap and Trade,” and other failed, wealth-redistributionist ideas.

The group has invited “10 Republican and Democratic candidates to the May 8 event at a Lancaster County shooting range,” and so far all four Republicans and one Democrat, Jack Wagner, have confirmed that they’re attending. Admission is $65 for shooters and includes breakfast, lunch, beer, shooting activities and cigars!

1. I don't even think Family Guy could make up shit like this. They are caricatures of themselves.

11. Is there any chance the could stand in a circle?

15. Put the car in the middle.

2. Jack Wagner? That is a surprise to me. nt

3. This is how the right acts: if you don't like something, shoot it.

Oh, I see, It's a "sense of humor" they have. Funny how they call "wealth redistribution" a "failed" idea. What do they call tinkle down? A smashing success?

13. Unfortunately, we've watched too often as the left, when it doesn't

like something, metaphorically kneecaps itself. Six of one and half a dozen of the other. I'm really kind of getting fed up with all sides of this. I fully support the President and will continue to do so. It's time to stop complaining and push forward or slide back down that slippery slope of the past decade and right into the 19th century.

4. What's up with Jack Wagner? nt

[AlinPA]

5. I haven't heard any anti-Obama talk from him, but I haven't followed him closely. nt

6. Call it the 'adolescent boy response'.....

although that may be unfair to adolescent boys.

I really don't think the Dems have a problem in the fall. These GOP morans are shooting themselves in the foot (so to speak) with their juvenile approach to governing.

7. Beer, firearms and cigars

And only 65 clams! America, fuck yeah!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. Yeah, what could go wrong?

:sarcasm:

9. Just Like in Afghanistan

or Iraq, or Pakistan.

12. "Live Free" . . .

. . . and yet, you people support status quo "health insurance" that you pay through the nose for that will deny you the care you need if you get really sick. :eyes: :eyes:

. . . and yet, you support the "debt for diploma" method of getting ahead in life, because there are too many furriners to blow out of the stratosphere for this country to get sufficiently educated for far less money. :eyes: :eyes:

. . . and yet, you people supported a president that wasn't legally elected by American voters, but selected by a massively partisan and spiteful Supreme Court. :eyes: :eyes:

. . . and yet, you people support the party that champions unbridled corporatism; a method of business and economics so one-sided, predatory and regressive, it's a wonder anyone can afford a roof over their heads, clothing or food. :eyes: :eyes:

. . . and yet, many of you are on Medicare and Social Security. But that's OK. Because "You earned it", and everyone ELSE who isn't you . . . is freeloading. :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

14. You know how people are infiltrating these things?

One of them needs to infiltrate this, and during his turn, after firing off some shots, he needs to go mental and rush the car and "tackle it," screaming all the way. Then climb up on the top and start jumping up and down before collapsing on his knees beating on the roof with his fists before finally crumpling into a fetal position, sobbing loudly.

And there needs to be media there.
