***Post your ideas here*** to combat the TURFERS (astroturfers)   Updated at 3:40 PM
   
I have a few.

Make sure the fire marshal and police are called

Many of these videos show over-packed rooms, which, once the turfers are escorted out for disrupting, will probably meet local occupancy standards.

If you are not allowed entry due to the limit, simply wait outside for all the turfers to be removed. Do not enter unless given permission by the fire marshal.


Help them expose themselves.

This will take two people: one with copies of the "disruptor memo" and another with a camera.

Outside the venue, volunteer to hand out copies of the memo, explaining to people how helpful it will be.

Take a picture of anyone who says they've already read it.

Once they get violent with you, you've found a turfer!


Respond to their screaming by lowering your voice.

This is a psychological trick I've seen work hundreds of times and when done correctly, can calm even the most belligerent moran.

Start off by being just a wee-bit quieter than they are then, lower your voice with each subsequent response. Eventually, they won't be screaming anymore. Be sure to make eye contact when talking with them and do not fold your arms!


Respond to their screaming with a short phrase.

Such as:

"We've heard you speak, now it's someone else's turn!"


Respond to their screaming by handing them a cheap prop.

A baby bottle, for instance.

Or a dunce cap.


Respond to their screaming by starting a chant.

Like "USA! USA!"

Chanting this in response to their jeering will confuse them.


Whenever one of them gets up to scream, take their picture.

In this instance, a video camera won't work. Taking their picture makes them think "I.D." They will stop rising if they believe they're photos are being "collected." If anyone of real authority asks, tell them you're making a documentary that will air on Al Gore's Current TV. Be sure the photographer wears an official-looking badge.


Mock them.

Stoop to their level, but have fun while doing it.

Whatever they say, repeat it back to them in a whiny voice and make sure all your friends laugh and laugh after wards! Just like you used to do to piss off an older sibling.

And, just as they're about to blow their tops, tell them, "I know you are, but what am I?"

It will bring down the house, especially if you can do a good Pee-Wee Herman imitation.


Okay, those are mine. Anyone else got any?

This bonfire just started. Should be good.

I'll admit my ignorance. I have no idea what a "turfer" is; however, if you are in the south you might better wait until 0 gets his "free" medical care established before following this suggestion:

A "turfer" is their cute little way of trying to say that these protesters are not grassroots driven, but corporate driven.

I seriesly !!! can not believe that there is one single DUmp Monkey that could follow through on this plan with resorting to screaming, yelling, crying and violence.  It's always the lefties that resort to violence.

That and they don't seem to like having their own tactics used on them.

They all seem to cheer when some Moonbat makes a scene during the SOTU address or in some Congressional hearing...but have some angry Conservatives do the same thing and suddenly they must be silenced and subdued.

The problem is that many of the people disrupting are from Democrat controlled areas. Me thinks that the folks involved are just fed up but they aren't the same as the DUmp monkies. They may be Deomcrats but they are normal everyday folks who just want a chance to be heard. If anyone tried those tactics on me it would piss me off royally.

Are you sure of that one, DUmbass? 

I think we've got a pisspot full of people who are so upset at being ignored by their elected "representatives", that if you took their picture, you'd likely get a pretty shot of some pissed off blue-dog giving you the one-finger salute - just before you got your camera shoved up your ass. 

And then, there'd be the matter of the 10 friends he'd bring to the next "meeting" in addition to himself.  But you go right ahead and be your usual moonbat self.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

I hope so; when they feel brave like that, they'll return to walking into the "town halls" like unsuspecting lambs to the proverbial slaughter.

38. dont forget to ask them to give up their social security too
   
We wouldn't want to force them to take part in any socialistic program now would we?

Hey moron, we floated the idea of getting rid of SS and replacing it with personal retirement accounts, remember? You asswipes screamed until it went nowhere.

I'll tell you what. Refund to me all the money I've ever paid into it plus the employer matching funds, stop the withholding, and you can take your Social Security and shove it up your collective rectums.
