The 9/12 Million Moran March - Page 2

Dear non-existent space god,

Please let someone from the Daily Show interview the driver/owner of the TruthTruck.

Thanks.

Gallery of the signs on display.

And then take close-ups. Check out the specimen in the blue golf shirt on the right. There's one for flick'r.

Someone else already corrected you, but I'll do so to just to let you know I know what I am talking about when it comes to american history.

Yes I've seen GNAGL, it is a fantastic film. McCarthy was anti communist obviously, yes. However, he went on to claim that communists had inflitrated and taken over the armed forces, and that the army was essentially serving as a front for communist interests.

That is mostly why people finially abandoned him, along with his increasingly unhinged behavior.

I was making light of the fact the 'Morans' at these 9/12 Klan meets only remember "Joe Hate Commies! Joe is white! Me Like Joe!" when in fact good ol' Joe actually was pretty much an enemy of anyone who could say Support the Troops and mean it.

I can't get much amusement out of this. We've been told these are the death throes of neo-conservatives for years. When will it just fucking die?

When we finally decide to kick off another Civil War.

All this attention these yokels are getting is so very very depressing. I wish I could have more to say, but I'd be hard pressed to make sense out of how excruciatingly stupid those people are.

Yeah, these guys are just harmless protesters.

Wow ...

Remember the 2004 Republican Convention in New York, when all those peaceful protestors were rounded up and interred on a glorified garbage scow on the Hudson?

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

Is he the Joker too in that? I think that one's my favorite.

<crossing fingers>

PLEASE please please let these people secede and form South America.

The age thing that someone mentioned is right on the money. Most of these people appear to in the mid-40s and up (unless they bring their brainwashed kids), its clear that this is a generational, white, mostly Southern, ultra-religious, deeply misinformed, and incredibly ignorant group of people. Sadly they continue to get press coverage, the good news the more they show them, the more fringe they appear, and the smaller their numbers actually are.

I would hope so. However, even as they demonstrate the extreme elements that comprise their so called movement by having these people with the ugly hate signs show up, they have an entire element in the media backing them up.

Fox News in general and Glen Beck specifically --and other racists of that sort -- are continuing to promote these events and story lines even after the people involved show up with frightening, ugly behavior and props. Dragging an Obama sign through horse shit? What the eff is that about? Do none of these networks even pretend to have any respect for the office of the President anymore? I thought bush was a war criminal, but I felt he should be tried in a court of law and removed from office by the congress. Why has fox suddenly abandoned any pretense of respect for President Obama, I cannot help but see race in this. I think certain people feel entitled to disrespect him because of his race.

These 9 12 people and their financial backers are openly advocating/threatening civil war... and they've being backed by incredibly main stream people. Eric Cantor is the minority whip in the house, and he talked at this 9 12 thing. It is organized in part by people who predict and welcome civil war in the united states.

Um, the civil war was the bloodiest and most unnecessary (yes, more than Iraq. How about you just not enslave anyone in the first place?) war in our history. I have relatives who fought to keep the values of the constitution as the binding force on this continent. This cheerful talk of civil war quite frankly disgusts me, as I would imagine it does many other Americans. The south needs to realize no one else thinks civil war is 'cute'


Where and how is the line drawn on this kind of "protest"? Many of the photos on the Huffington Post home page show people holding signs that are basically threats.

This has not been self correcting so far. Will some outside power perhaps privately force republicans to publically repudiate this kind of vile hate mongering? Or at the least.... stop speaking as guests of honor at their rallies?

They need to form their own country: Dumbfuckinstan.

No doubt. They are back Monday though.

"Obama Lies, Grandma Dies, Remember 9-11."

This reminds me of lyrics Bjork writes; the words roll off the tongue nicely, but what do they mean?

I find some of my views to be pretty conservative, and then when I read this quote from http://www.salon.com/politics/war_ro...09/12/protest/


"I studied Nazi Germany, I read the story of how they took over," she told me. "From the very beginning I heard it with Obama ... I've studied the camps. That's why people are here, because they're afraid of the death camps that are coming." The woman also said she believed liberals had "voted for a hijacker ... voted for al-Qaida," but said she understood, because they hadn't known, and she was ready to forgive them if they woke up to the situation.

I mean really? WTF..... I'm an independent from now on, fuck this shit.

The day we start throwing old people into fucking concentration camps is the day I'll move to Alaska and live among the bears.

With such a large amount of uninformed ignorants maybe you should do something about education before healthcare.

I think Obama is correct when he says that left and right can find some common ground. I, too, am against death camps. If Obama starts placing grandmothers there, he will most certainly lose my vote.

When I read Richard K. Morgan's 'Thirteen' ('Black Man' outside the US. Americans won't buy a book called Black Man, I guess.) a few years ago, it's depiction of the US split into three parts - The Pacific Rim, The Northeast, and Jesusland - seemed really far-fetched. I'm not so sure anymore.

Go through all that trouble to make your little two sided racist sign with pictures and everything and you get the punchline wrong? That's just sad. I feel bad for little racist grandma.

After seeing more of these photos, I'm not entirely convinced that we shouldn't have told the National Black Family Reunion folks to pack up and get the fuck out of there and then just napalmed most of the area.

Yes. Well that's that dumb Joker* one that's been around, and this guy grabbed a marker and painted in the Hiltler 'stache and haircut.

* I don't get the point of the Joker image. Are they trying to say he's a homicidal maniac? Anyways, when I was sketching super heroes as candidates and saw the image of Obama as Batman, I thought with his big grin he could be depicted as the Joker. But of course, this is not what these people are trying to do, I just don't get what the point of the image is.

Actually Aspergers Kate, this is what you said:

You're ripping on conservatives, saying they have NO idea who Joe McCarthy was. Yes - he went after government groups. But his name is fucking synonymous with communism to mostly everyone in the general public. So you acting all high and mighty in your post is ridiculous.

I'll give you that the kid is likely an idiot (just for the fact that he actually participated in this protest), but you're being a b-yatch and a 'moran' yourself by calling him out on something that is widely known and accepted by both conservatives and liberals.

And to start it off the President should give a speech to schools about hard work and diligence. Who would oppose that?

Yeah, seriously...


Although I would have said the White House is where the winners live.

I heart Drudge. He has a picture of the protesters and the headline is "MARCH TO PROTEST SPENDING." Um, what? There was no single reason for "marching." He's just going to choose a reason randomly? He could have said "MARCH TO PROTEST APPLESAUCE."

None of these people care about "spending." They care about taxes. And that he's black. The hilarious thing is he hasn't even been in office long enough to affect them, but they're complaining in advance about things that aren't even going to happen.

Aah to own a .50 cal Barret and a penthouse near that march...

There's already a South America, and we're already full of dumb and crazy as its is...take your garbage elsewhere, gringo.
Give em Alaska, i say.

This one just confuses me. Is Rahm the crisis? Is he thinking about starting a crisis? Does he have frostbite on his lips?

When I first saw it I thought it was one sign that said "Puppet Crisis."

God, there are so many GREAT band names/album covers just waiting to happen here...

I read the LA Times' story on the protest and they too faithfully trumpeted the party line, even going so far as quoting Dick Armey without mentioning that he runs a highly profitable astroturfing outfit with all the corporate clients that stand to lose a sliver of their multibillions if any health insurance reforms pass. The whole thing is so phony.

Conservative operatives have long known that if they yell loudly enough about something, no matter how dubious their claims may be, that corporate media will faithfully report on the sudden "controversy", and will air the views of any cracpot malcontent as if they deserved legitimate coverage.

"Dick Armey" is perfectly named for what he does, for the record.

Not passing judgement on the merits, but I can explain the sign. It refers to this: "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste," Rahm Emanuel, Mr. Obama's new chief of staff, told a Wall Street Journal conference of top corporate chief executives this week.

The argument is that Obama is using the economic "crisis" as an excuse to ram through policies that would usually have no hope of passing.

The irony is making my fillings ache.

If the mainstream media is as liberal as people say, how come the "9/11 Truthers" didn't get a tenth of the amount of coverage that these idiots do? Hell, the most you heard about the Truthers would be a ten-second clip in a story about something else. And yet the networks are devoting whole segments to these moro(a)ns and portraying them as a legitimate political movement.

Well they all have to seem 'fair and balanced' considering who's paying their cheques.

Oh, and check out this gem from that "Conservapedia" thing:

http://www.conservapedia.com/Mystery...tives_Exist%3F

HA!

I can't tell what's better, the terrifying idea that anyone would want Sarah Palin in any office, or the fact that the squinty woman in the background has a poop sticker on her shirt. Stay classy republicans.

He actually said that about six months ago. It's one of Snaieke's favorite things to bring up.

that's about the best thing that I have ever seen.
