ABC News' Matt Jaffe reports: Just 48 hours before Election Day, Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe
Biden's rally Sunday at Florida State University was disrupted by a raucous group of Republican opponents
just outside the event's gates.

About 30 supporters of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin blared sirens and chanted
so loudly that they even got Biden's attention.

"Maybe those McCain folks can hear this, they'd be interested back there," Biden said over the din of the
protesters just a hundred yards away. "They can hear this, I'll say it loudly as I can. I thought it was a siren,
but it's just a whine, I guess. It's gonna be OK, folks.

7. I like the fat guy with the bullhorn.

Dude must be a eunuch, with a voice pitched like that.

[Ken Burch]

13. "Dude must be a eunoch" Great line.

I'm suddenly picturing Steve Tyler singing that.

[scytherius]

4. I gotta echo this. 30? On a weekend? That's it? Wow. n/t

5. Do only 'pubs get Free Speech Zones?

Pull that shit at a McCain rally and you'll be cuffed and stuffed.

[Hugin]

6. Same wall bangers as in 2000?

or is it a new crop.

[ixion]

8. Remember, these are the same folks who support "free speech zones"

except when it's a cause of theirs, of course.

9. That they got 30 in tallahassee is quite feat-that's half the republicans

in this very very blue county and NOT representative of the liberal students at FSU

[Bryn]

23. Tallahassee is my hometown - my birthplace

Yes, you're right. It's very BLUE!!!!

[laststeamtrain]

10. Was it the plunger squad? Very scary.

[MakesMoves]

11. That picture is worth being online

I am glad to be connected because that photo is the sh*t!!!

[Ken Burch]

14. Did they RINSE those plumbers before raising them like that?

[Wednesdays]

33. Could be those plumbers were never rinsed or bathed as children

...and I have no idea who raised those spoiled brats.

[Ken Burch]

34. Well, I meant to write "rise those PLUNGERS"...

But, point taken.

[louis-t]

15. Get a job morans.

Oh, wait....plumbers.

[last_texas_dem]

20. Dude in the background on the right looks like he's checking for b. o. haha

[laststeamtrain]

28. I think he may be wiping his nose on his sleeve, too.

Freeper multi-tasking.

[last_texas_dem]

37. Good point

I detect some definite nose-sleeve contact going on there... haha

[yellowcanine]

24. Heh. What does it say about a campaign when a toilet plunger is their symbol?

The campaign is in the crapper?

[babylonsister]

27. No kidding! Too funny. nt

[customerserviceguy]

38. They're "flushed with pride"?

Ok, it was a stretch.

[alfredo]

26. Proof that excessive masturbation kills brain cells.

[yellowcanine]

29. How about the hairy palms? Did those kids have hairy palms? Supposedly

monkey spanking has that effect also. Not to mention blindness.

[alfredo]

36. Glad I stopped when I needed glasses.

[glinda]

12. We need more money for education and send them to some classes

[Grinchie]

16. If they were educated, they wouldn't have Sheeple

High functioning Morons are what greases the wheel if big business. Just smart enough to run the machines, but too stupid to realize they're being screwed and demand better working conditions. Smart enough to prefer self preservation by going with the flow, and doing what they are told.

God forbid we get a majority of independant thinkers in America, the Republicans would be screwed.

[Shardik]

17. Some of the comments at the bottom are frightening in their overt racism

and ignorance.

(bottom of the linked story in the OP)

[husky92]

18. Plunger Patrol

Why is it that Democratic rallies are enthusiastic without all the racist hate-filled shit that appears at McCain/Palin rallies. These morons are just the type of people Palin appeals to. That's her speed. You rarely if ever see this going on at a Obama or Biden rally. They may hold placards outside and chant some things but you won't see them disrupting rallies or hollering hate and venom like those Republican rallies. Whoever said it was correct. If this was at a McCain or Palin rally they would have probably been pepper sprayed much to the glee of all the morons there.

[L0oniX]

19. The usual gang of repuke racist inbred morons!

[VP505]

21. Looks like a bunch that will be

crying their eyes out come late Tuesday evening. I still remember all the hateful things that were said to Dem's both in 2000 and 2004, I'll be very happy to return the favor.

[whistle]

22. The skinhead Joe the plumbers of Tallahassee FL

[cui bono]

25. Wonder how much they were paid. n/t

[MooseGoose]

30. Only six of them at the Daytona Beach event.

It was an indoor event, while they were outside. They weren't disruptive like the Tallahassee group.

But I'm really only posting to brag that wife, kid, and myself got to shake Joe Biden's hand. Yay!

[unkachuck]

31. keep calm Joe, don't be provoked....n/t

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

32. At least he didn't say something stupid this time.

[illuminaughty]

35. Extremely funny/humiliating protester story from 2004

I'd completely forgot about this until I saw this post. It was a Kerry/Edwards rally with 25,000 here in K.C. Same shit, a ragtag pitiful handful of Bush supporters wandered into the crowd and tried to disrupt.

But here's the kicker. OMG...LOL One of them was dressed in a waffle suit (I swear to God). Remember ...Kerry the waffler. Everyone starting booing the disruptor's and the idiots realized they were outnumbered by, oh, 24,980 and they took off and left the waffle.

Waffle can't see well out of his costume and gets caught up in the crowd so a few people started whacking him with blow up bat things. Don't worry he wasn't hurt, just severely humiliated. Like these idiots in Florida should be.
