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:

How about swastikas as Botox Pelosi claims?
Um, does Brooks Brothers give refunds?
Damn, my shorts, tee shirt and flip flops are out…………..
That guy with the flag over his face would look really good in a Brook’s Brothers, don’t you think?
and they call us ignorant!
Look.In.The.Mirror.
That was one of the things I’d be curious about – how many pro-Hamas or other left-wing protests have people who blatantly cover their faces?
Meanwhile, how many Obamacare protesters are afraid to publicize their beliefs? None that I’m aware of.
Yet you praise the former and snitch on the latter.
BRING IT ON. We’ll win, you’ll lose.
Don’t forget your SanFransisco Folsom Street Fair attire..
*CONTENT WARNING*
nativeaz08 – ask and ye shall receive. added pelosi-approved swastika attire.
Our ‘mob’ of ‘Nazi’s’ needs a uniform. How about those cute little suits Nancy P. wears? Bet they’re affordable.
Peolsi – LIAR!
self correction
PELOSI – LIAR
Nice imPeaches.
Sorry, had to do it.
So Dockers and a polo shirt are out? How about if I leave the white loafers and matching belt at home?
But fatigue jacket with Screaming Eagles logo is OK? Can I wear said jacket over my polo shirt?
I wish Nancy would publish a booklet with examples of what is and isn’t acceptable attire for a protest.
We should all wear armbands with American flags on them so we can be easily identified (though I am not sure if that might be considered disrespectful to the Jewish community, I think that we are far gone enough that it won’t be long before Obama demands such things anyway)
I don’t think they come in my size. The chick with the “IMPEACH” sticker has got something going, though.
or these…

Well, I got the dreadlocks already.
Anyone know where I can get a militant beret?
And I thought that I could just untuck my shirt and skip a day’s shave and shower. Dang! Seems that I’m going to try harder to be “real.”
Dexter–I don’t get it; does she want us to impeach her ‘peaches’? I’m sure she doesn’t know.
My patriotism doesn’t include my chesticulars.
I like te Che bikini!!
Here’s the teabagger look:

Thanks, Michelle!!
We should all show up wearing the exact same suit the President is wearing.
Here’s another question:
Did the Bush administration ever so actively attempt to demonize and shut down his critics?
I don’t think so…
Libs make the rules up as they go, so this isn’t a valid question unfortunately.
I guess I’ll go to the next TEA party with a tennis sweater draped over my shoulders. What kind of wine goes with protest?
I guess it’s time to break out my marryin’ underpants.
High quality, 100% cotton.
Sweet.
Speakup–I think, as I noted yesterday, that we should wear NOI 60s style suits with little bowties.
Jack Daniels with a Bud chaser.
ILMC , your kneejerk reaction is pathetic. While I can understand how you would be upset with those posted above, they actually do relate to something political. Yours is simply childish.
Dexter, I don’t know.
I wondered if Gucci made a yaqui slide for my .45
who could afford it.
spaceycakes since the President portrays the community organizer ideal how can union goons abuse us if we idolize the chief?
Allow me to refresh your memory.
And “teabagger” is so yesterday.
On the contrary. Here’s what the fashionable Tea Partyer is wearing.
Or this.
Or this.
The face of the matter… we Tea Partyers know how to dress, have fun, and be serious about our message.
Speakup, well yeah, but no one bothers F@rr@kh@n’s followers.
So if I wear nothing but assless chaps and a feather boa do you think I will be legitimate enough???
(For gods sake DO NOT find photos of anything like that)
Hey, spacey! You could be onto something there. There’s no reason high fashion should exclude firearms!
Bling for your sling! I like it!
Maybe that’s why Pelosi doesn’t recognize us as legitimate grASSroots.
My apologies in advance.
This is fabulous, Michelle! Thanks so much for posting this inspirational look at chic protest attire.
Whoa. My fashion sense is all wrong for counter-insurgency. If I leave my button-down collar unbuttoned, will that be radical enough?
This is a little OT — anyone who lives in or near Memphis might want to consider coming to this. I was notified on my Facebook page.
Lets not hide our faces with bandanas or wraps.All of our coward enemies(Jihads) and wimps on the left always cover theirs.We have nothing to hide.
color me surprised you would like the che bikini of a racist, communist, xenophobic, homophobic mass murderer!!!!!!
docflash;
that’s because the males are hiding their acne, and the females are hiding their facial hair.
I recommend the “Pelosi 1984″ very good WHINE!
I believe in the Houston offices of the Obama campaign.
HHHMMMM sorry I don’t see where the GW admin critizied the american public as this admin is doing. This isn’t about party ridicule this is about AMERICAN CITIZENS being riduculed by the Democrats and demonized.
PLEASE TRY TO KEEP UP!
Why don’t you go to a skinhead rally and post a few snaps of the right wing fringe, just for balance?
None of your photos show liberals shutting down a townhall.
Actually folks, here’s how to really show your colors. You should be wearing these to townhalls and tea parties!
How about Tancrado?
I’m going to wear my Obama Joker t-shirt
Should I not shower and shave for a few days to make myself smell more like the SF residetns Pelosi is used to.
spaceycakes #31
You find the Gucci yaqui slide and I’ll take one too. Would be the perfect match for Gucci perfume. Actually, one of the best selling items are purses for concealed carry. You can make do with a Dooney & Burke zippered bottom pouch – but hard to get to in a hurry.
I say we all go out and get a wig like Pelosi and wear suits just like hers, with big gaudy pearls. Hey, guys too. I’d make her feel at home.
Sorry but, you forgot dirty underwear, drool soaked torn ‘T’ shirts and extremely ugly faces.
What, no pictures of Mother Sheehan? Now there’s a fashion
nightmareicon. /sarc.For easy in and out handbags, you can’t beat the Louis Vuitton Ellipse bag–not too big, not too small; can’t miss your revolver in it. $1200.00
lgm said: Thats the DNC base.
No, no, Dex, according to Queen Nan, it’s whine.
I just sent this to Baba Boxer
http://boxer.senate.gov/contact/email/policy.cfm
And those pics prove it – thanks for sharing.
nope english, his motto was “ignore the angey left”
But, Odopey is such a classless wuss he can’t take it and all this healthcare BS is just a big deflection on his failed stimulus that everyone is silent on.
I just ordered my MOB car magnet…
None of them show the townhall audiences rushing the representatives and assaulting them, either — standard “liberal” fare whenever they’re faced with a speaker they don’t like.
Hey LGM. Are gimp suits fashionable after Labor Day? Given your proclivities, I thought you would know.
Let’s see the relevant topics: dress, speech, gender,the lunatic fringe, etc. etc. etc. Anything to NOT discuss the merits of the healthcare bill.
Again, lgm, ILC, Nancy, Barbara, Harry, Barack, et. all. If the provisions of the bill were SO WONDERFUL you could point out where in the bill all the wonderful things you promise are at; quote the chapter and verse.
This is the usual Liberal dodge of let’s talk about anything BUT substance.
You do not have a thing!
If the only media covering the “astroturf” protests are the “right-wing shock jocks”, & we all know San Fran nan would never lower herself to watch them, how does she know that anyone was wearing or displaying a swastika, or shutting down a town hall etc?
Now if I ever in my life looked half as good as the gal in the bikini I might wear that (but without the Che logo), but I have never in my life worn one. That probably WOULD shut down a town hall, I am sorry to admit, despite the fact that I am no fatter than she is.
I’d rather be a part of The Mob than a Chicago Mobster …
I guess wearing a wetsuit and chaining myself to a gay whale is a no go.
you know that Condi could have knocked that woman into next week if she wanted to.
Do they think we are so dumb that we can’t see their hypocrisy? It’s sickening!
Um…perhaps this is because that wasn’t what the post was about.
One of the more asinine accusations tossed at health care protesters is that we’re “too well dressed” to be independent.
Yah, whatever. Maybe we’re just people who believe in self-respect through appropriate attire.
But, please, show where a health care protester threw pies or other foodstuffs at speakers, rushed the stage, or engaged in other acts of violence.
IF your beloved Democrats are too cowardly to address the issues, that’s not our fault. You voted for these losers. But keep it up. 2010 looks to be a banner year if your liberals keep pulling this crap…
I still think you would like nice anyway in whatever swimsuit you wear.
Try your local military surplus store (no sarc), and for some real street cred go to the local gay booteek for a rainbow peace pin. (gay/sarc)
GSP
I can forgive the supermodel in the bikini, but who’s the tranny impersonating MO?
I’ll bring tar if somebody will bring feathers!
I think I’ll print out the SEIU logo from MM’s other article and wear that. I’ll probably get picked to answer a question that way.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!
Ya killin’ me!!
Isn’t that nice. ILMC found a picture of his mommy on the internet. Go outside and play now. The adults are communicating.
ECS
I was gonna rush right out and get my “Impeach Pelosi” T-shirt, but then I realized that I would have to add Boxer and then I realized I’d need to add Feinstein too. Next I realized I’d want to add Oblamalama but I thought maybe I’d better just get one that says “Impeach the whole damn Democratic Party!”
Typical ‘bama mama pose of indignation.
Ever wonder how many times a day those hands wind up on those hips with the scowl on the face throwing knives at ya through the eyebrows and the one-legged stance ready to let fly a left-footed butt kick?
Bet the mister has seen that picture more than once, the dog high tails it out of the room and the cat makes a quick exit for cover under the bed.
Are any of you guys at this Tampa town hall meeting?
http://www.wtsp.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=111086&catid=8
I wrote what I have below tongue-in-cheek, but then realized it might be a good idea. How about creating a website and an email address and post the following. You might just get enough insider information to totally expose this administration.
“There is a lot of disinformation about concerned American citizens out there, spanning their opposition to the Obama Administration’s Chicago-style corruption to his distruction of the economy and damage of national security. This disinformation travels via the main stream media, through left-wing radical blogs, and staged Obama town hall meetings. Since we can’t keep track of all of it, we are asking for help from anyone who works with or for the Obama administration or Democrats in Congress. If you hear or see anything fishy that may be corruption or not be in the best interest of the American people, send it to [website/email address]. Your name will not be used; we only want the information to counter all the left-wing disinformation with the truth. As a fellow citizen, you have an obligation to do your part.”
Michelle:
Don’t forget that nothing says ‘grass roots’ like matching uniforms; shirts & hats (see code pink, acorn, etc.) as well as professionally printed protest signs, identical to the guy standing next to you!
We wear clean underwear too.
The guy on the right in the black power photo looks like Samuel L. Jackson without the beard.
Was Che on that bikini? I didn’t notice…gulp…
Ok back to reality…
FIFY!
Hmmm…a covert op for all Americans to attend a Town Hall Meeting for their own Representative…well, we gotta do what we gotta do…if they’re not going to let us in by PROFILING us, then let’s beat them at their own game and play the part of “protestor”: don’t smell good, don’t shave for a couple of days, ladies: forget about tweezing your eyebrows for at LEAST a week, wear dirty, drab colored clothes, and just have signs with large PEACE symbols on them, or if anyone asks, say you’re with Greenpeace or PETA…you’ll get in…
I don’t know about Gucci but Fobus makes an excellent one. An added plus is they’re made in Israel by the Jooooos.
Skinheads are fascists, ie, leftists, dipstick.
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.
