Awwwww.....Signs are Banned from Today's Tea Bagger Rally....

[Junkdrawer]

...

The rally has a lot of rules, including one banning signs -- which is aimed at clamping down on offensive messages that gather media attention. "We really don't want anything to deter from the peaceful message we're trying to bring to Washington, okay?" says the young woman in the video.

My question for all of this is: "How big a 'movement' can you buy with unlimited funding and unlimited, friendly Media coverage? And how tightly can you control such a 'movement'?"

1. They have no signs because they have nothing to say

[4dsc]

2. They couldn't find anyone to spell correctly..

[Vickers]

3. No misspelled, racist, unwittingly-anti-American signs to make fun of???

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

[Warpy]

4. It's a "Let's Make a Deal" crowd

and you can bet there will still be signs unless there are platoons of goons on the perimeter to confiscate them, in which case the faithful will be pissed off.

The only question is whether Beck will show up or whether the crowd will have to watch him on a big screen because, as we all know, the evil left is threatening the man's life.

(I don't think I need a sarcasm smilie for that, do you?)

6. Platoons of goons - LOL

Those platoons of goons will be in attendance.

11. Fights between security guards and rabid protesters....

Wouldn't that be fun?

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Is there a dress code too?

[MrScorpio]

7. Comments have to be "approved" on this YouTube vid

Hmmm, I wonder why?

[wookie72]

16. and yet "Natasha you are such a hottie" got through

Not that she isn't, although apparently batsh*t crazy and being pretty are not mutually exclusive.

8. boring.....nothing to put on the tv news but badly dressed white people

[ladjf]

9. Tea Bigots. nt

[formercia]

10. A 'Movement'

and Glenn Beck is the Douche Bag.

...all the soap disappears from the hotel rooms.......

12. There will be signs

Signs are not on the Park Service prohibited list, they are merely 'discouraged' by request of the event organizers. In other words, there will be signs and they will be professionally made and handed out upon entry for sale at the entrance - I'll bet money on it.

13. Only "I'm With Stupid" will be allowed.

New rules.

[Snotcicles]

14. Banning signs. GOP's free speech, do as we say, not as we do. nt

[Bitwit1234]

15. That's cause they have to prove that stupid poll

you know the one that said tea bags were intelligent. Well if they allowed them to have signs the polling company would be fined or lying. The country would see how really stupid they are. IF THEY ONLY HAD A BRAIN. wonder if there will be a lot of straw. Cause if they get in a SHOVING match some of that might fall out of what they use for brains.

17. At least some likely won't know that they are being discouraged from bringing in any signs

Many will have spent several hours, if not more, carefully hand-crafting their misspelled messages of hate or misinformation, and then some that are spotted with more obviously racist or bigoted words and graphics may be asked to get rid of them...awww!!!

Have to think that if this "Restoring Racism" rally has well over fifty thousand (99.9% caucasian) sheeple or so, at least some home/handmade poster bearers with offensive messages will slip through the cracks, and they will be able to hold them up, at least for a while.

They may be discouraged from holding up "offensive messages that gather media attention" but that obviously won't also remove their offensive thoughts and beliefs that were planted there from faithfully watching Dreckkk on Faux Spews.

18. Anybody remember Rumsfeld's Wargasm?

Excuse me...I mean, the "America Supports Your Freedom Sheep Drive Walk"?

How regimented and UN-free it was...the amount of security on every corner...and the poor attendance...they had to drag civil service workers out their offices and draft their families in order to get an even partially-decent attendance.

The embarrassed coverage it got when it spectacularly failed to meet expectations...and how quickly it was over...

Here's hoping Beck's self-aggrandizing little LOOK AT ME!! party has the same success!
:evilgrin:

19. But confederate flag T-shirts are OK, right? nt
