What “redneck” looking person is going to want anything to do with ACORN?? Trust me, the rednecks I know wouldn’t do anything to help ACORN.

absolutely hilarious… The Tea-bag jokes? NO! The fact that Liberals/Lefties are supposedly “tolerant” is so laughable!

Great crowd, very polite. Much support from traffic passing by. A very nice and productive way to spend a beautiful afternoon!

Yeah, it’s in the middle of GOPland, PA, but it’s also a pretty small town. And it was raining pretty heavily.

HuffPo showed up to take pictures and names (and ended up giving our local Conservative newsletter “Everyone’s Opinion” some free publicity.

The kids at Kent State didn’t Plan to get killed. They didn’t even plan to get arrested. They didn’t think the big, bad soldiers were really going to do anything. Just a show of force.

…The somebody got stupid and showed those extremely nervous, armed, young men a gun…

They are more timid than their opponents. The students at Kent State were killed protesting the draft; getting arrested was the least of their concerns. It depends on how far you are prepared to go, I suppose.

It is good you pointed out the potential complications. I am certainly not encouraging anyone to do this, just raising the possibility.

The irony here is that the people protesting this abusive taxation are those who have jobs, families, futures and play by the rules. Against an opponent like the left, there is only so much they can do. They are vulnerable because of what makes them decent people.

no seriously, do not do it; you are an upstanding citizen of the U.S. that is why you are attending today. You care, not just for your children and the future, but even for the misguided that show up to our parties today.

If an ACORN plant was going to happen, it would have happened here in San Francisco. We have plenty of nutcake lefties willing to stage a mock assault like that. The hardest part would be finding a handful of normal-looking people to pose as “rightwinger fundies”, as we’re known locally. Most ACORN types would be given away by the blue hair and gutterpunk tattoos.

No one hassled us. The crowd was generally having fun. We marched from City Hall to the Federal Building, where Nan Pelosi has her office. There were probably 1,000 people when I left around 12:00. Not a bad turnout for such a lefty city. There were lots of older people and older vets.

I left at noon because I have work to do. That’s the problem with right-wing protests: we’re responsible and we have jobs to do. Not so much with the lefties who either live off mom’s trust fund or can’t keep a job as a barista, so they protest full time.

And there were some real characters in the mix, .

I’ll have pictures later when I’ve had some lunch/supper and all that kind of thing.

… if any such event is about to be staged, immediately deliver a righteous beat-down of the posers … with a camera of course.

As far as the everyone and the law would be concerned, you were defending women from louts.

I know the irony would be completely missed by the writer of that blog, if he was being serious, but…

… if the right wing was as racist as they really believe, why would they need to bring plants to pose as rednecks?

someone suggested this last week on a thread. Have signs made that say things like “These NUTS are from ACORN!” and “These RUDE PEOPLE are from HuffPo!”. When someone starts acting up (for the cameras, of course!), stand next to or behind them holding up these signs to make sure the camera picks that message up as well. They’ll show on the video, and maybe even an honest local newsperson (is there such a thing?) will interview you about why your sign says that.

All you really would need is a couple of real red neck looking guys holding f__k Obama! signs (or some such) and a few meek (female) black pro-Obama folks… and have the red neck ‘plants’ go after the pro-Obama folks AND get it on video… heck the pro-Obama folks don’t even have to know what’s coming… just the RN plants…

The 2 biggest challanges is getting a couple of guys willing to club cute little meek Balck people over the head… AND make sure they get away… can’t have them talking to the cops or anyone else for that matter.

Then again… the ‘news’ would be out and the MSM would run with it for days on end… even if on day 4 the cops got it out of them that hey they all worked for ACORN it was a hoax… it wouldn’t matter by then.

You know how the winning team always dumps a cooler of Gatorade on their coach at the Super Bowl? It’s a nice, lighthearted way to send a message to the ACORN plants that they need to move along.

Nothing annoys people more than messing up their hair. Just humidity in the summer ruins some people’s day. I would imagine having sticky iced tea dumped over their head in a crowd of giggling hillbillies would get them out pretty quickly.

It can’t be interpreted as racist, either, just a harmless prank and taking the whole tea party theme literally.

The organizers are working with local law enforcement and so stay with the organizers! I guarantee you the local police will NOT BE HAPPY with the idiots who create a disturbance. I as well agree with holding down the person who attacks anyone…you basically be effecting a citizens arrest!
