Berkeley City Council’s wire hanger stunt
Don’t the public officials in the People’s Republic of Berkeley have anything better to do?
No, no they don’t:
The city of Berkeley mailed coat hangers to 20 members of Congress on Wednesday in protest of the anti-abortion amendment in the House version of the federal health care bill.
The City Council approved the action 7-1 on Tuesday night. Councilman Gordon Wozniak dissented; Mayor Tom Bates was absent.
Metal coat hangers were mailed with a protest letter to members of the House of Representatives who voted in favor of the amendment but have a history of supporting abortion rights.
Jan Schakowsky approves.
President Obama, please direct your protests against inflammatory fear-mongering to the wire hanger-wielders. Now.

Question: What should we send the Berkeley City Council?
Nuts. Just nuts. Lots and lots of nuts. I’m sick of nuts and a few more nuts in Berkeley surely won’t be noticed.
How about some one way tickets to Kabul?
oh for pete’s sake. What is wrong with these people??
Errah they don’t deserve the cost of a stamp
Fruitcakes
I agree with fruitcakes with plenty of nuts.
What? Surprised? Come on..
How about we just send them back. I want a refund!
How about we send baby clothes to those same 20 members of congress to put on those hangers so they can donate them to local charities?
Can an entire town be stoned at the same time? Who drives the bus??
BTW, which 20 members are we talking about?
They only sent coathangers to abortion supporters?
Seems reasonable. If you accept the fundamental POV that makes no questions asked abortions acceptable and national health care desirable, refusing to include abortion really is sacrificing the poor innocents who will be deprived of their abortion rights due to lack of money on the altar of political expediency.
Seriously. Since only scum congressvermin are getting the coathangers, what’s the big deal???
Nothing would offend those people more than a brand-new, nicely wrapped American flag, in my opinion.
Everyone in Berkley can take those coathangers, shove them up their a$$ and abort their pea sized brains.
How about we all send the clowns in Beserkly a Fork and a Vacuum Cleaner right back at em??
I bet their constituents would have rather had their tax dollars spent on something more productive…or not.
Lets send them condoms & birth control pills to hand out to their immediate family. That’s the best way to keep this from happening years down the road..
We’ll throw in a “fisting kit” for incentive, since we already know they love those..
I would suggest a montage of babies dressed in various American Patriotic costumes . . .George Washington, Betsy Ross, Sacajawea, Susan B Anthony, one of each Branch of the armed forces from each war (both sides of the civil war), Davey Crocket, Abe Lincoln, Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph, Teddy Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Dwight Eisenhour, Ronald Reagan, and Barack Husseain Obama.
All because their mothers chose life over abortion.
I don’t know mattymatt.. I think a cake topper that depicts a Female Bride & a Male Groom would set them off too..
I worry about the people who voted these knuckleheads into office.
How about sending each council member a draft notice?
I’d say we send our regrets that the mothers of the people behind the coat-hangar idea didn’t think of the same thing when they were pregnant, or that they lacked the courage of their convictions if they did.
Razors and bars of soap.
I totally favor this one!! If they would just use common sense and good birth control habits, abortions would be obsolete. It’s called personal responsibility. They should try it once.
Send them a loaded gun. Comedy gold when they pick it and look down the barrel.
Send ‘em the Gitmo detainees.
I’ve seen RedState send things like fake dog poop and rock salt(melt Snowe) to elected officials. Drop shipped from Amazon to the local offices of officals. Kicker was they set themselves up as an Amazon merchant and were able to earn a modest referral fee.
That gesture is an indication of the depth of their argument.
It must be painful to live your life as an a$$.
Send the council to their paradise – North Korea.
Since it is the Christmas season, why not a nice big FUIRT CAKE. For a bunch of fuirts.
??? What’d I miss? Would the amendment put abortion clinics out of business? Or do they just revert to their natural instincts of flinging coathangers like apes throwing feces when they perceive anything less than a straight path to the procedure table? I believe I just answered my own question.
Fruit Cake sorry about that
As we all know too is that Fruit Cakes Suck!
Granola bars. They’re in the land of fruits, nuts and flakes.
Quoting Michelle Malkin: From the opening thread comment
Michelle,
We should collect all the butchered new human beings from the abortion clinics, put them in zip lock bags, and send them FedEx to each of those members directly with a live action video of DVD of an abortion from beginning to end, clearly and explicitly showing the violent, cruel dismemberment, ripping apart of, slicing and dicing of, chemical burning of, and even the delivery of and then puncturing the skull of the defenseless victims of induced abortions.
We should be sure to make a full color photo collection of step by step abortion procedures with an emphasis on the graphic, gory images of those innocent victims, those tiny boys and girls who are so cruelly, wantonly, without and care, slaughtered en masse!
What should we send the Berkeley City Council?
How about this?
Good strong coat metal coat hangars have other uses. They can be made into a shank, a garrote, a whip antenna, and, with the shortage of commodities, into an item for sale. Some of these could certainly be usefully employed on the Left Coast.
Yes.
Send them an ungrounded Hot Tub.
Photos of aborted fetuses would be the appropriate thing to send back. They are gruesome of course, condoms would be kinder yet still make a strong statement.
After seeing those photos in graduate school, I changed from a pro-choice advocate to a right-to-lifer on the spot.
How about a one-way ticket to North Korea? They’ll like it there. No lights to warm the planet, no meat, no cars to pollute the air, no McDonald’s, no Christians, government “heath care”, no talk radio…and all they have to do is sing “Kim jong Ill…Dear Leader! MMMM MMM MMMM” and everthing will be taken care of.
What should we send the Berkeley City council? Any thing that would put them out of out misery.
I don’t see how buying these vampires lunch is going to upset them..
Ultrasound footage an abortion being performed.
Let them see the baby try to escape the probe!
Planned Parenthood = $$$ GREED $$$
How about a Christmas Tree, a nativity scene, and a certificate letting them know that a donation has been made on their behalf to send care packages to the troops this Christmas.
the city council of berkely needs to take a long look at the abortion issue. the percentage of minority abortions is far higher than the percentage of same in the population. we know the founder of planned parenthood was a flaming racist who espoused neutering minority women to keep the ignorant from procreating. we know the first progressive president w. wilson espoused the same thing. could it be the democrats/progressives still feel they must limit our minority population through abortion and neutering? we know they love their slaves tending their gardens and cleaning their houses, but not blacks.
boxes and boxes of condoms and other various forms of easy to get contraceptives.
I’ll agree with Dan Lee, a fisting kit would be the appropriate gift for them.
What to send to the Berkely City Council?
Diapers.
And, why am I supposed to fund an procedure that is totally preventable, for a procedure that was caused by the inability to read, follow directions on either birth control pills or condoms? Pregnancy is not an illness nor something that was beyond your control, if it was consentual. You know that if this healthcare monstrosity is passed they are going to limit treatment for those with lung cancer due to smoking….but how about marijuana use? Thought so. It will get covered. So will genocide of babies.
Coupla’ cases of RU486?
How about a penny with the instructions, if the woman holds this between her knees and makes sure not to drop it, she will not get pregnant. Again, why is it my tax money’s responsibility or a doctor’s responsibility to get rid of an unborn child because 2 people had a tingly sensation between their legs and had to scratch their itch without protection or the thought of what the consequences of irresponsible sex may be? All liberalism is is a desire to not be responsible for anything that happens in your life and put the blame on someone else. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Question: What should we send the Berkeley City Council?
Based on the theme suggested by the coat hangar it is obvious that the City Council should be sent the results of successful pregnancies that have come to full term.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen someone play the coat hanger card.
The Colonel Mustard card from Clue.
Give them a clue and salute the military at the same time.
Maybe those congressmen could pass those hangars to the RINO’s so they could use them to pull their head out of their a$$.
murdered children — 1,000,000 per year
There are more than 1 million abortions in America each year. Is that NOT ENOUGH for the city council? How many is enough to suit their ends?
A litle help here please: Is it really an “anti-abortion” ammendment? Would it outlaw abortion? Or just end a taxpayer funded subsidy of abortion?
Send them 40+ million Nuk Nuks, for the wee ones, who will never have known their comfort.
Celebrating the culture of infanticide, without appology or shame, or even a blush.
RubberReal Dog CrapWhat can be sent?
They are heartless, cruel people who would support the slaughter of new human beings via induced abortion, so-called “Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research,” pharmaceutical abortions, such as those resulting from such pharmaceuticals as RU-486, and other post coitus pharmaceuticals, etc.
I would LOVE to send them, against their will, to be aborted in an abortuary.
When they scream and plead for their lives I must ask them, “Why are you screaming and pleading for your life? It’s only an abortion. It means nothing. It kills nothing. What’s the big deal?”
They just don’t care about others being butchered! They have no shame, and they have no compassion. Their hearts are cold as ice, they have no care for these innocents, or the fact that induced abortion actually takes away a person’s right to life, live, love, experience life, and contribute to humanity, to their loved ones, etc.
What can you do to open their cold, cruel hearts?
What can you say when the likes of Planned Parenthood abortionists and staff, as well as phony, but yet so-called “Scientists,” the media, etc., push false “Science” regarding human beings and their development, while ignoring basic Human Embryology?
we could send them envelopes with Fistful of Metal and Among the Living in them just for the sense of irony.
Hemlock cocktail
How about we send them a 20 nooses and a rickety chair?
Tape condoms on them and send them back.
Send them collections of the stings carried out on Planned Parenthood offices – you know, the ones where they encourage underage girls to have abortions and accept money to abort black babies.
***
Send them 20 HIV infected needles and 20 heroin hits from the trashcans at Frisco’s Folsom Street Fair parade.
***
Or an errant Russky ICBM with a 20 megaton warhead on board.
***
Hope and Change you can believe in.

The child-sacrifice crowd gets really goofy, don’t they?
Jumped right out at me.
A Joan Crawford impersonator sent to each councilman’s house to beat them with the hanger.
How about a bottle of water. I hear Hell is mighty warm.
Calling that an “anti-abortion” amendment” is a bit of a stretch. It’s really just a “pay for it yourself” amendment. But really, why does any health insurance plan cover the voluntary termination of a pregnancy? Because it’s cheaper than the cost the insurance company would incur if the baby is carried to term????
You should get those hangers from the senators and turn them into Christmas wreaths with a baby in the manger on top and in the center on white satin the words in gold, ‘All innocent life is precious.’ And mail them back to the fascist progressives with a thank you note for the hangers.
What should we send to Bezerkly City Council. I have a suggestion: I can get it free in the pasture across the road from me. Kind of messy but appropriate.
How about a penny with the instructions, if the woman holds this between her knees and makes sure not to drop it, she will not get pregnant.
—————————————
X2! Any hint of personal responsibility makes their heads explode.
Since when was abortion a “choice”, but taking the risk on an unwanted pregnancy (yes, even with birth control) was not?
