But how do we show the part where he fervently and laboriously digs for hours and hours on the Internet to find the. THE!!!! Lamest, most meaningless, moronic, talking-point-driven, tired, old, idiotic toons that anyone could possibly imagine... AND THEN THROWING THEM ALL AWAY AND FINDING ONES EVEN LAMER?

Yeah, even i gotta say this isn't one of the wisest posts. This was just a rush job I did at 4:00am, on no sleep, before I went to work and it wasn't even what I originally intended. I just got tired of his spamming and whenever someone really took him to task, he'd skip that person and go for the low hanging fruit, or just ignore them and continue his campaign. What I did wasn't witty though, wasn't really a political cartoon and was kind of a lame potshot on my part.

Right-Wing Harassment Strategy Against Dems Detailed In Memo:

[funnygurusdca.livejournal.com]

‘Yell,’ ‘Stand Up And Shout Out,’ ‘Rattle Him'

This morning, Politico reported that Democratic members of Congress are increasingly being harassed by “angry, sign-carrying mobs and disruptive behavior” at local town halls. For example, in one incident, right-wing protesters surrounded Rep. Tim Bishop (D-NY) and forced police officers to have to escort him to his car for safety.

This growing phenomenon is often marked by violence and absurdity. Recently, right-wing demonstrators hung Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD) in effigy outside of his office. Missing from the reporting of these stories is the fact that much of these protests are coordinated by public relations firms and lobbyists who have a stake in opposing President Obama’s reforms.

The lobbyist-run groups Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks, which orchestrated the anti-Obama tea parties earlier this year, are now pursuing an aggressive strategy to create an image of mass public opposition to health care and clean energy reform. A leaked memo from Bob MacGuffie, a volunteer with the FreedomWorks website Tea Party Patriots, details how members should be infiltrating town halls and harassing Democratic members of Congress:

(http://s36.photobucket.com/albums/e44/sdcafunnyguru/?action=view&current=Town_Halls.jpg)

– Artificially Inflate Your Numbers: “Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The Rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington.”

– Be Disruptive Early And Often: “You need to rock-the-boat early in the Rep’s presentation, Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep’s statements early.”

– Try To “Rattle Him,” Not Have An Intelligent Debate: “The goal is to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda. If he says something outrageous, stand up and shout out and sit right back down. Look for these opportunities before he even takes questions.”

The memo above also resembles the talking points being distributed by FreedomWorks for pushing an anti-health reform assault all summer. Patients United, a front group maintained by Americans for Prosperity, is currently busing people all over the country for more protests against Democratic members. Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), chairman of the NRCC, has endorsed the strategy, telling the Politico the days of civil town halls are now “over.”

Meanwhile, AHIP, the trade group and lobbying juggernaut representing the health insurance industry is sending staffers to monitor town halls and other right-wing front groups are stepping up their ad campaign to smear reform efforts. The strategy for defeating reform — recently outlined by an influential lobbyist to the Hill newspaper as “delay” then “kill” — is becoming apparent. By delaying a vote until after the August recess, lobbyists are now seizing upon recess town halls as opportunities to ambush lawmakers and fool them into believing there is wide opposition to reform.

OMG!They are becoming Community Organizers!

Well, it worked for the liberals. We may as well use the same tricks and traps.

It worked for the liberals? How? What part of the liberal agenda has now passed due to these actions?

I FOR ONE AM OUTRAGED AT THE LACK OF POLITICS IN THIS IMAGE.

PLEASE ADD AN EAGLE CRYING INFRONT OF THE GHOSTLY VISAGE OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER.

Clearly you don't recognize lather2002 as the modern incarnation of a US patriot. You'll be happy to know that he's on the short list (not to be confused (too much) with short bus) of candidates for the front of the new $3 bill.

I'm okay with the Statue of Liberty in place of the Eagle, although there's some controversy there because she's French. But hey, big tent and all!
