we need some people dressed up as KKK members to try and get in at a Palin rally

[Divine Discontent]

I supposed they'd be arrested, but man, what a story it'd make - they could simply say - "we are confused - we heard her on the television saying things we strongly liked and wanted to come and support her, and if this country is so arrogant to ignore its roots, then we'll support her being the next Grand Wizard of our group!"

That'd make me laugh... The McSame/Plain campaign has turned into a rallying cry for hysterical bigotry. They have no shame apparently.

1. Wouldn't work; Palin's security knows their fellow members

And getting my ass kicked by some ignorant mouth-breathers isn't worth the trouble.

[Divine Discontent]

3. ha 'mouth-breather' always makes me laugh

well, there's some people willing to take that risk, but you make a valid point - the security and members of the audience would know whether or not their Brethren were there or not, because they'd know they weren't supposed to wear their robes!

It would still be a great news story.

[Lerkfish]

6. agreed: you'd get your ass kicked for impersonating one of their members.

they can always tell their own. They sniff each other's butts.

[EFerrari]

22. Maybe we could tape a picture of John McBomb's face to our posteriors?

It's been a long time since I planned a surprise like that. :P

[Taverner]

23. And you wouldn't know the secret handshake

[EFerrari]

28. If you looked butch enough, would it matter?

:shrug:



I bet it would be sort of disappointingly easy to do. lol

[Taverner]

31. You could get it from old Superman comics

True story!

[Divine Discontent]

34. hahaha... so wrong. but true. eom

[guitar man]

2. good idea

we should be able to find the costumes we need when we get there, all we have to do is break into a few car trunks in the parking lot at the rally! :D

[Divine Discontent]

4. oh my gosh! that's great

good one - just break into the trunks - surely we'll find enough for a few dozen of us! :rofl:

[guitar man]

27. :)

:hi:

[EFerrari]

5. I think we really do. She's moving too slowly, let's help her out. n/t

[Divine Discontent]

8. "she's moving too slowly"

:rofl:

so true, I mean, why don't they just GET down to business here and say a black man has no right to be the leader of the free world, and end this charade of equality they pretend to ascribe to. I mean, wow, can you imagine being an African-American or an Arab-American at one of their rallies and the snide looks you must get? Or better yet, Log Cabin Republicans! (like they'd show up, the self-haters wouldn't dare be seen in public together).

[EFerrari]

12. Alternately, we could just show up in costume and ask where the Palin rally is!

That way you don't need the actual Sarah to move forward. :evilgrin:

[Hassin Bin Sober]

7. "Palin 4 Grand Wizard!!!!"

I can see the sign now.

[McCCain4retirment]

9. the sad thing is

no one in the audience or crowd probably think anything of it.

[pokerfan]

10. wouldn't work

at least not for some...

[Divine Discontent]

11. GREAT movie reference

yeah, they'd start asking questions and get outed as human beings rather quickly...

[izquierdista]

13. I told you to wash your hands

after the cross burnings! :rofl: :rofl:

[pokerfan]

26. And now, for my next impression...

Jesse Owens!

[guitar man]

29. where the white women at?

:rofl:

I love that movie! :thumbsup:

[onenote]

14. you realize that when shit like this gets posted

it immediately gets cited as evidence that the people spewing shit at Palin and McCain rallies are really just plants.

Think, people, think.

[Lex]

15. Exactly. How effing stupid

to post this crap.

[EFerrari]

17. They are just plants. And, think yourself. n/t

[Divine Discontent]

19. humor didn't die.

and frankly, it calls on Palin to respond to it as Joe Biden said today - if someone's going to yell terrorist, or treason at one of their rallies - and they all LAUGH, well, that sums up what they believe.

[EFerrari]

20. Some folks just don't get street theater.

I think a chorus line of Klan members greeting Sarah everywhere would be perfect! With nice bright lipstick.

lol

[Divine Discontent]

24. true...

the lipstick part just makes it so perfect - could you imagine that on a white robe? That's Daily Show stuff there.

Some people hate the Code Pinkers, also, and I commend them for their bravery. Anyone that mocks or protests against injustice has my support.

[traveller]

40. Obama is doing fine without making Democrats look stupid.

[EFerrari]

41. Do you mean, without Democrats fighting back?

Maybe that's why Nancy signed off on FISA and on the war funding, too. She didn't want to look stupid.

Said another way, cowardice.

[cali]

42. idiocy is not courage

moronic idea. not all street theater is good theater of good advocacy.

But then idiots never learn, and constantly mistake stupid for courage and judicious for cowardice.

Pathetic.

[EFerrari]

45. Cali, you need to find less threadbare descriptors.

[anigbrowl]

16. You are today's king of Epic Fail

I think you should retract this absurd post.

[EFerrari]

18. And you need to consult a doctor about your humor deficit. nt

[Divine Discontent]

21. awesome.

I just got done posting 'humor didn't die', and then came back to see your post. thank you. this is the kind of thing that we see spoofed on TV and ends up on a youtube vid for us to laugh at. as I said to onenote - its up to PALIN and MCCAIN to squash the laughter and cheers at THEIR rallies when someone yells terrorist - by their doing NOTHING - they are the guilty parties - not casual observers who post commentary on the matter.

:hug:

[anigbrowl]

25. It's not that the idea isn't amusing, but that it'd become an ad fro the McCain campaign

You know they'd blame it on the Obama campaign and use it to paint the Dems as the party of dirty tricks.

[EFerrari]

30. First, they'd have to prove we didn't work for them.

lol

The thing is, they'll come up with smears no matter what we do. We might as well enjoy what we do.

[Divine Discontent]

32. no hard feelings. I know we're all on the same team.

they instantly claim they're plants regardless of what's said here. The problem is, as Biden pointed out, is that Palin doesn't have the decency to stop and say, "please, let's not go there". But, due to her rhetoric, they DO go there, and that's why the robes would fit right in - they are turning into a KKK rally.

I hope they drop even further in the polling because of this tilt to racism and bigotry.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

33. Like they did with "Billionaires for Bush"?

[EFerrari]

35. Exactly! Some of us show up at a big public place in costume

And "Go Sarah!" signs.

:rofl:

[Divine Discontent]

36. exactly - plus, like it wouldn't be obvious were spoofing their racism!

by wearing KKK robes - I think that pretty much gives it away we're being facetiously insulting about the tone of the wording used by Ms. Palin - and how she cannot even have the human decency to DENOUNCE these codpieces when they say sh*t like that about Obama at her hate-rallies!

[EFerrari]

39. "Klan Sisters for Sister Sarah!"

lol

[Last Stand]

37. Uh, that's her base.

They're there already. They just take off their hoods at the rallies so that it's not so obvious.

[fascisthunter]

38. Who Says They Aren't Already There....?

[obamaforme]

46. I am scared for Obama - seriously.

[fascisthunter]

64. Obama isn't....

you shoudln't either. That's what these losers count on.... fear.

[Fire Walk With Me]

43. Fun, but give them the slightest "dems are ___________" excuse for swift-boating...

"Better on paper."

[EFerrari]

48. They don't need us to fabricate bs. They're good to go no matter what. nt

[Fire Walk With Me]

52. True, but why give them the inch that they can make into a million miles?

No matter how fun it would be :/

[EFerrari]

53. We don't reliquish our first amendment rights at the door, do we?

I feel protective of Obama, too, btw. :)

[Roy]

62. quite frankly, if they don't want to be associated with the Klan...

Then they should stop acting like Klan members.
TERRORIST...... KILL HIM...... SIT DOWN BOY?

Just like if they don't want to be called liars.... they should stop lying!!!

[obamaforme]

44. You volunteering?

[Rocknrule]

47. It would be easier just to yell "white power!" at one of her rallies

Then the camera would show her winking in approval

[derby378]

50. I tried that at a Fred Phelps "God Hates Fags" protest

Decided not to push my luck, though. It was actually at a protest of pedophile priests in the Roman Catholic Church, and the Phelpsoids were separated from the legitimate protesters by a fence.

[tjwash]

49. Why not? The KKK endorses McSame.

[JackRiddler]

51. This is really stupid and irresponsible of you to post.

It can be picked up and claimed that DUers are engaging in "false flag" tactics. Worthy of an alert.

[EFerrari]

54. It must be Authoritarian Wednesday and nobody told me. n/t

[JackRiddler]

57. Jaysus, sfexpat2000...

Do you really want these kinds of dirty tricks proposed on this board? Because that's what it sounds like the OP is doing. It's wrong. And the backfire potential just of pushing this as an idea is enormous.

[EFerrari]

59. How is it wrong? It sounds right on the money to me.

I may propose it to Code Pink. We should have a troupe of Klankin follow Sarah everywhere. Like groupies. :)

[JackRiddler]

61. The OP proposal was a lot more vague.

It's one thing to obviously parody the KKK, with lipstick on the hoods and satirical slogans or signs, and it's another to pose as actual KKK in a attempted deception (which would definitely be exposed and be used against the Obama campaign). I'm not sure this distinction was made clear in the OP. But if you mean the former - to parody the KKK - well, do what you like. I still think it's in bad taste, but it's no longer deceptive.

[wtmusic]

67. agree. nt

[Hekate]

55. No, we don't. It would blow up in our faces six ways from Sunday. nt

[tuckessee]

56. What a stupid, unethical idea. n/t

[2speak]

58. I don't want what he's drinkin. smoking, taking or snorting!

[Quantess]

60. Stupid idea.

:thumbsdown:

[struggle4progress]

63. Lighten up a bit and have more fun with it: Start an "Insane for McCain" group, complete

with strait-jackets and incoherent self-contradictory positions lifted from McCain's record

[leftofthedial]

65. they'll provide their own

don't worry

[2speak]

66. I don't want to be like them no way no how. That is the the

kind of crap they pull. We are better than that. This is about and for our country, not the place for immature bs.
