2. I was thinking of protesting outside the local comcast office
   
It is on a busy street with lots of curb visibility. Probably 95 percent of those who drive by wouldn't have a clue what was going on, tho.

Oh my mistake they don't mean against Obama they mean against Comcast.

46. They're heartless bastards
   
They're targeting the poor, homeless, unemployed, elderly, disabled, sick.... people that they think can't organize or protest. They're heartless bastards. But I think a lot of people are starting to wake up to the hopeless situation that our Country is in.

Hell the homeless are already in the street anyway and the unemployed have tons of time to attend protests.

30. You want tactics? .................
   
I'd say the "Act Up" model, but do it at every Fox affiliate and every Fox Corp office in the country. And make sure that CBS, GENBC, and ABC knows about it. You want coverage? Take it to the Ministry of Propaganda and tell their competitors that you're going to do it. You'll get your coverage.

Yep park your fat asses outside the corporate office of Faux Snooze and act like a moron.

21. It's got to warm up first.
   
20º out there now, bud.

Too cold to protest out where no one cares.

And finals are coming up too, right?

29. Some protest only when Republicans are in office.

True, since the same "illegal wars" that Bush started are still being fought by Obama and the anti war crowd has been pretty quiet.
Oh a few posts here and there but, no protests, no calls for frog marching, and impeachment.

40. any protest can turn violent with provocateurs planted in the crowd. You have to shut
   
them down before the police do.

47. Taking away social security or cutting healthcare for my disabled daughter.
   
The second has already brought me to the state capitol.

How did your daughter's healthcare get cut? I thought the dems fixed that.
I thought everyone would be covered, and premiums would fall by 3000%, and our employers would give us raises.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

I like how it's "too cold" to protest.  If only we had some global warming.  :whatever:

After paying the door charge, I think a 75-cent spring for my AR ended up costing me between seven and nine bucks at the gun show a few years ago.  Not that postage is much better.  I spent about $50 on car parts last week and half of it was shipping. :thatsright:

Now see that's where you're not lookin' at the Big Picture! If ya get a good deal on a gun, it knocks the price of the parts down to normal. It's downright criminal to go to a gun show and not buy a gun! hehe!

Just ask one of yer local criminals! [/du]

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

This is nuttin' more than excuse as to why our protests always make theirs look weak, especially since ours are all non violent!

Face it DUmbass, you only wish people who believe as you do, were anywhere near the percentile we have on our side! You DUmb****s are the minority, you just refuse to acknowledge it!
