CPAC Security Threatens Attendees With Arrest For Watching Protest

[RandySF]

Private security guards outside of the Conservative Political Action Conference threatened to arrest attendees who had gone outside the hotel to observe a union-organized protest of CPAC.

"Be good conservatives and go inside," one guard shouted at attendees watching as D.C. police pushed back protestors who tried to approach the hotel after rallying on the street. The guard said they were clearing the outside of the hotel of all people whether they were union protestors or CPAC attendees.

1. "Be good conservatives and go inside..."

Oh, man! That's just too funny!

6. I keep looking for the Onion link...Nutz, all of them...n/t

2. "Be good conservatives and avert your eyes from the real problems."

3. "Nothing to think about here! Move along!"

4. Well, at least THAT wasn't weird or anything . . .

It's almost to the point where anything any modern Republican says or does blurs the line of anything you would see on a deadpan satire about modern Republicans.

5. They'd probably gone outside

to get away from all the smelly hot air from the speeches inside. Can you imagine how difficult that must be, sitting there listening to all of these people vying for Asshole of the Year? It takes a strong commitment to be a Good Conservative, as the security guards rightly reminded the ones who tried to escape.
