How to dress like an “authentic” grass-roots activist
My fellow members of The Mob: Barbara Boxer and Robert Gibbs have panned your fashion sense. Accordingly, I have compiled style tips from “authentic” grass-roots activists to assist you with proper wardrobe choices for your next congressional town hall outings (language warning!).
Dreadlocks, black power fists, and militant berets are de rigeur:

Nothing spells genuine grass-roots like blood-red paint:

Feathers keep it real:

When in doubt, go bullhorns and keffiyeh:

Prove your bona fides through flag desecration:

Profanity = sincerity:

More profanity, with Pelosi-approved swastikas:
Less is more:
If you’ve got the body, rock a Che bikini:
The ultimate grass-roots accessory…Impeach Bush socks!
And straight from Our Lady of Real America’s closet, argyle and $540 Lanvin sneakers to give you the street cred you’ve been missing:

I’ll bet the chick with the bumper sticker on her boobs realized that wasn’t a real good idea after the protest.
That depends on what kind of skinhead you’re talking about. They are most commonly associated with white power radicals here in the states.
Guess which side white power radicals are on? …the opposite side of the blacks and the Jews….
So is this guy guilty of both desecrating the flag AND awful spelling/grammar?
I eagerly look forward to the condemnations from both our hostess and the peanut gallery.
Hey, tool, what do skinheads have to do with the average Joe and Jane Sixpack expressing concern over the potential
Obamacare rip-off. With logic like yours, I pity the fools that take a math class from you.
Your girlfriend, Rodham, screamed a few years back that it was everyone’s right to disagree with the administration in power.
We’re just following her advice and now you crapweasels don’t like it.
FIFY.
As one who has spent some time in the area and been caught downwind a few times, you can’t get there in mere days.
As I mentioned on another thread:
Come on now. Be honest. Those bathhouses in Castro you frequented can hardly be considered representative of the city as a whole.
Yeah, but I was only as a casual observer. From the grimace on your face when I saw you there, it looked like you could have used more petroleum jelly in your downstairs.
Well you certainly had the best view, didn’t you, “big” boy?
Wow, I always wondered what happened to Milli Vanilli!
Way OT, but IMHO there is a great need for an on-line summary/compilation of the more egregious/oppressive proposals in the house bill(s?)and the page and section numbers. This will enable those who confront their “representatives” to pin them and press for answers.
I have nothing new to add, but just need a chance to vent. On a non-political message board that I frequent, I am seeing so much of “Look @ those mean bully Repblicans. They are shutting down all debate…blah, blah, blah.” I used to think that these people just had a different POV but still wanted what was best for America and her people. But I am convinced now that there really is no reasoning with unreasonable people and that they really and truly do not have anyone’s best interests in mind except their own.
“Debate” for these leftwing clowns means everybody sitting around and nodding their heads while grinning like idiots, and agreeing with everything they say.
If you don’t do that, then they initiate the “persuasive argument”, which is a punch in the mouth.
Finally A Dream Comes True
Obama and his supporters:
I have been to two tea parties…and have seen all matter of dress. and that is the point, there are people of all “classes” dressed as they please all together to protest being ruled by those who are suppose to be representing them. The town halls, will be moved to secret locations, where only those of pure thoughts will be allowed, acorn is working on doing the same with elections…..how to disallow “certain” votes and how to log in votes that are from those of pure of thought…… and the republican party is still taking advice from Coln Powell, who gets his from James Carvil, who is only trying to help……Intesting times indeed
I wonder what Nancy Pelosi would make of the new black and red uniforms issued by the Cult of Scientology.
Socky-
I think L.Ron Hubbard might like them since they look really simuliar to some of the covers on the sci-fi books I used to read as a kid.
Now Princess Leia in the slave girl outfit, thats my kind of uniform!

lgm: How many pies have been thrown in a speaker’s face at these Townhalls?
Believe me, I wish I had some good soggy tomatoes and some rather brownish lettuce to heave at them, but then I remember that they already make themselves look plenty trashy by appearing to be so ‘coutrly.’
babbledabble: The CIA briefed her on it.
SFN: No they didn’t!
CIA: Yes, we did, we have transcripts of the meeting that include your questions as well as an attendance list.
SFN: That is a lie to the Congress and the people of this country! I was never briefed on this matter!!!!!
CIA: Madam Speaker, we have photos of you at the meetings and your colleagues confirm our account.
SFN: I need some of my wine.
CIA: Madam Speaker, you whine enough as it is!
– 2 (spelling)
these people look and dress exactly the same as the mob being portrayed at the town hall meetings. i thought i was looking at a replay of the group standing at clair mccaskill’s office that her staff called the police on.
ALL skinheads are white power radicals.
The fact that they hate the blacks and the Jews doesn’t make them opposites. The Communists and the Fascists hated each other but they were ideological kin. Communism, Socialism and Fascism are just different versions of the same collectivist evil.
Perhaps they’d like it better if we wear assault rifles to the meetings like they would in Afghanistan?
