Prostitutes with AIDS to seduce Republican visitors
Wednesday, August 25, 2004

(I couldn't make this up ... direct from the Republican National Committee website ....)

"NEXT WEEK, people who hate Republicans plan to release swarms of mice in New York City to terrorize delegates to the National Republican Convention.

"Republican-haters plan on dressing up as RNC volunteers, and giving false directions to little blue hair ladies from Kansas, sending them into the sectors of New York City that are unfit for human habitation.

"They plan on throwing pies and Lord knows what else at Republican visitors to the city. Prostitutes with AIDS plan to seduce Republican visitors, and discourage the use of condoms ...."

I guess this is where he got it from:

Bernadette Malone: NYC errs in playing nice with protesters
By BERNADETTE MALONE

NEXT WEEK, people who hate Republicans plan to release swarms of mice in New York City to terrorize delegates to the National Republican Convention.

Republican-haters plan on dressing up as RNC volunteers, and giving false directions to little blue hair ladies from Kansas, sending them into the sectors of New York City that are unfit for human habitation.

They plan on throwing pies and Lord knows what else at Republican visitors to the city. Prostitutes with AIDS plan to seduce Republican visitors, and discourage the use of condoms, according to liberal journalist Ted Rall.

New York City is a place renowned for coddling no one — tourists, babies, old people. And yet, its new mayor, a Boston transplant, plans to coddle these junior terrorists.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that Mayor Michael Bloomberg will be issuing buttons that read “Peaceful Political Activist,” which will entitle the bearer to discounts at The Bronx Zoo, the Museum of Sex, Applebee’s, plays such as “Mamma Mia” and “Naked Boys Singing,” and other random entertainment venues.

By wearing these buttons, and obtaining these nifty little discounts, the mice-releasers, pie-throwers and AIDS-spreaders are entering into an implicit agreement and the rest of society: “Give me $5 off a chicken entree at Applebee’s, and I promise not to terrorize you.” That oughtta work. Not.

3. I would never help them
If I was a New Yorker and some lily white Republican delegate came up to me asking for directions, I'd either give them directions into the worst ghetto or tell them to just go fuck themselves!

4. I suppose someone could
blow an AIDS-infected mouse through a pipe at Tom Delay.

Hmm... A rodent blowgun....

5. Well they at least admit to failures:
and giving false directions to little blue hair ladies from Kansas, sending them into the sectors of New York City that are unfit for human habitation.

Why are thy uninhabitable, GOP? Poverty, Joblessness, lack of attention to Urban America? Would the 20billion they never received after 9/11 make these palces more inhabitable?

Prostitutes with AIDS plan to seduce Republican visitors, and discourage the use of condoms

AIDS is being addressed by Bush, how? Condoms -- Right Wingers don't use them -- They use abstinence.


these junior terrorists

While we are at it, lets link those who disagree with us to Terror. That strategy worked so well in Iraq...


Sometimes the complaints of the Right wingers is more telling as they forget to spin the talking points properly.

6. Bush is not spending the night in New York
Now we know why. Laura is afraid that some AIDS infected prostitute will get to her Georgie boy. Well, maybe some of this Republican hysteria will cause a lot of delegates to stay home. Wouldn't it be great if Bush had to deliver his acceptance speech to a half-empty hall? They really should have held their convention in Wacko, Texas!

8. They got it from Ted Rall's Op/Ed
Where the mice come from, I don't know, but Ted did write:

"The Republican delegates here to coronate George W. Bush are unwelcome members of a hostile invading army. Like the hapless saps whose blood they sent to be spilled into Middle Eastern sands, they will be given intentionally incorrect directions to nonexistent places. Objects will be thrown in their direction. Children will call them obscene names."
...

"Creatively altered maps of streets and subways will be handed out to button-clad stupid white men. Other saboteurs wearing fake RNC T-shirts will direct them to parts of town where Bush's policies have hit hardest. Rumor has it that prostitutes suffering from sexually transmitted diseases will discourage the use of condoms with Republican customers."
