I finally caught one of them!

[lwin]

At one of our tabling spots today, I caught a koolaid drinker RED HANDED, defacing one of our signs with a Bush-Cheney sticker! He thought we were all distracted by his other pack members, arguing about the "87 billion", and moved in. The look on his face when he turned and stood up, from his sneaky little crouched position, doing the dirty deed...was priceless. I asked him point blank "What do you think you're doing?" And he stammered something about how 'the sign fell down (it was clipped to the tablecloth) and he was putting it back up'. I told him flat out "Bullshit, I saw you do it. Is that how you behave when you don't agree with someone's point of view? You deface and vandalize private property? What's the matter with you?" He gave a real chimpy 'deer in the headlights performance' stammered an unintelligible response, and slinked off, red faced, with his cohorts in tow. You think it was some kids? Nope...this koolaid drinker was a clean-cut 30-something guy, about 6'3. In the words of one of his heros...what a girlie-man. It was so pathetic.

1. Did you slap the shit out of him?

I would have

[lwin]

7. I should have

I felt like bitch slapping him, but being 5'4 & female, I have to consider these things carefully. I did humiliate him in front of his little tribe, so all in all, it was pretty satisfying. I think he's one koolaid drinker that will think twice, or at least look over his shoulder, next time.

2. He really deserved to have someone..

Pull a "Scott Robinson" on him...but I'm glad you took the course of action you did, and "outed" him instead!:D

Obviously he--like most of his type--thought he'd never be caught..too young to remember Watergate, obviously. THEY thought they'd never be caught, too!:eyes:

:kick:

B-)

4. We had counter demonstrators at our rally today.

Apparently they own Jesus.

We had counter-demonstrators down at Nichols’ fountain this afternoon.

4 or 5 Squeaky clean young adults carrying commercially made signs saying “Hate Terrorism – Not Bush” and “Bush in 2004” (although that one wasn’t commercially made). They refused my flyer for Eyes Wide Open, which is at the public library this week, even though I told them it is for the community to honor the dead American soldiers, so I asked them if they were planning on enlisting or volunteering, because I can honor what they say they value in this war if they enlist, if they show commitment. Apparently the answer was no because they started in on Kerry for voting against the $87 million. They said the lives of the soldiers should be so important that nothing should be more important than funding them. I pointed out that Republicans and the president rejected an $87 million funding bill because it came out of the tax cuts, so why doesn’t that principle apply to them also? No answer.

I also got to explain to these folks how terrorist are more interested in striking the powers-that-be in the MidEast through Bush, the royal business partner, than they would be with Kerry.

When we got to my personal motives for being there with my signs, I started to say that those who are crushed by the mighty, especially the innocent who are killed and maimed, are Jesus, literally Jesus. This is the model we see in the life of Christ, why Jesus suffered, what he was trying to show us. One young Bushie interrupted me, he was wearing a Jesus t-shirt; he said, “How dare you bring Jesus into this . . . . Jesus doesn’t have anything to do with terrorists .. . .” and some other stuff. I was so shocked, I asked him if he owns Jesus.

And the rest of the afternoon, I held forth in my loud street voice, reminding these young men to enlist or volunteer now, and also saying that those who are crushed by the mighty, innocents killed in the WTC and in Iraq right now, are Jesus today. Many people in cars waiting for the light, nodded and smiled. Oh BTW, my sign today said “Who died and made George “god”? = Blasphemy”.

The Bush supporter in the Jesus t-shirt mocked me when I said these things in my big street voice; he went “Kaw, kaw, kaw” like a bird several times. When he and his friend left they drove by me, mocking again, and I could see that the back of their car was plastered with Kobach stickers.

5. I would have made him

clean the sign with his tongue!
