Let's not call them our rallies "protests"...let's call them "Hope Rallies"
Advertisements [?]Edited on Wed Jan-14-09 01:38 AM by Ken Burch
The idea is this:
If we want to push the new Administration in a positive direction, we avoid using the term "protest", which won't really be appropriate in the new context, but instead we phrase the events we'll need to hold as "encouragement" events or something like that. It's not about being "against", it's about "pushing further" and "expanding the space".
If we can perfect this, we can make activism in the post January 20th environment have a new and much more effective activity.
I like the way it was phrased in a recent TIKKUN article, when they used the phrase "Support Obama to BE Obama".
This makes our position "Active Loyalty".
And it makes our objective helping Obama succeed, because his chances of political success are only going to be enhanced by moving in the direction we as progressives will be pushing for.

I guess you can consider today's Iranian effigy burning a "hope rally"... :mental:
So far none of the other retards have joined in this latest Big Zero gush fest. I plan to hold a "hope rally" next Tuesday at the gun range. I hope all my rifles are still dialed in after moving the to Colorado. That is all. :evilbird:

Yeah !! lets also rename fish to "Sea Kittens"... wait... :thatsright:

If any DUmmies read this take note....we have been saying here for months that O doesn`t give a damn about you.
Your policies are political suicide and he will run as fast and as far from you loons as he can without breaking the purse strings.
Join the real,adult world,it makes life so much easier to live through.

And the Palestinian attacks on Israel "sunshine and lollipops."

"Anti-war protests" becomes "Anti-war hope rallies." Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
My guess is they'll have the same effect.

They had flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles.

Why don't we just call them circle jerks and be done with it?

H5, I like your style, you crazy Aussie!

They call them "hope missles" because they hope the missles will kill some Jew babies.

I call them a "bunch of worthless bums standing around who should be at work".
BC, would you want anything produced by the DUmb****s? Remember what we're dealing with here . . . :mental: :loser:

quit being negative, Moriarty. It's Pro-Peace Hope Rallies. PPHRs for short.

Perhaps we could call turds "Change Sparklies." Not to be a Change Sparklie in the Hope Drink fountain....

2. No...I'm trying to create a new phraseology for the changed conditions. Something that will keep events in which we call on the Administration to change things from being dismissed as "bashing".
If "Hope Rallies" doesn't work, I'm not married to that and I hope people can come up with other suggestions. The idea is to find a new term that encompasses the idea of using the newly-opened space for discussion and dissent.
:lmao:

Now buy me a new keyboard.

And afterwards, we can all sit down at the Rachel Corrie Memorial Pancake Breakfast.
(Yes, this REALLY happened.)

I think it's a GRAND idea!! :thumbs:
They can call them "Hope" rallies and then we can beat them with our "Anti social behaviour discouragement" batons and unleash the "Fuzzy police persons of other species" on them before hauling them off for weekend encounter sessions with "Economically challenged love partners" at the county "Big stone building for those who have been naughty but are still human beings too".
-
Dave, you owe me a new laptop. :thatsright: I just shot coffee all over the monitor as well as the keyboard.
It was a brand new Dell M4400 mobile workstation, and we won't even talk about all the sensitive information on it until I find out if the hard drive is salvagable.

I've been drinking coffee all day, alas. :-)

I would expect the sex crazed DUmmies to call them FUK... rallies......
You Know....F*** U Konservatives.

A rose is a rose by any other name.
Today in the news, another "Hope Rally" was held to encourage Pres Obama to remove the troops from Iraq before 2012. Hopeful obscenities were shouted at passers by, and a Starbucks was broken into and trashed by masked Hope and Change anarchists, who then blended into the rally. Later the Hope Rally got naked while blocking rush hour traffic and they were all hauled into custody screaming something about police brutality.
When asked for a comment the police chief just shook his head and asked, "Why don't Hooters gals never protest and get naked? After this lot, I won't eat for a week!

No matter what they call anything they do, it's still a waste of time and effort.

But, it's fun watching them think they're actually relevant!
