Conservatives to Protest Anti-GOP Protest at Convention

[Kathy in Cambridge]

I have a feeling NYC will be ugly. I bet these guys are paid by Rove!

From Citizens for Legitimate Gov:

Members of a new group of young GOP conservatives plan to protest the protesters. Tom Paladino, who leads the New York chapter of Protest Warriors, a nationwide organization , said members want to show the protesters that "there are Republicans that will protest them right back.'' [e-mail]

Leaders say they know they won't have equal representation, but hope the contrast helps them stand out. They will be armed with their own picket signs and T-shirts, even video cameras to capture their mission.

``It's going to be the protest Olympics. They're all going to be trying to outdo each other,'' said Kfir Alfia, of Austin, Texas, who formed the group last year with Alan Lipton after they crashed anti-war demonstrations in San Francisco, carrying signs that said: ``Except for Ending Slavery, Fascism, Nazism and Communism, War Has Never Solved Anything.''

1. You know how you can tell a GOP protester?

Just read their signs. Get a brain Morans!

2. Aside from bad grammar, there are other ways to tell a GOPer

angry, red-faced screaming, a tendency to spit when speaking, and a lack of fashion sense are other ways to spot them.

3. My sig other and I are flying up to be in the RNC counter convention

Anyone else besides us figure there'll be radical right-wingers posing undercover as protesters inciting police aggression and just generally trying to make us look bad?

9. Thank you so much for the welcome!

Seriously, just that "hey" really helps someone like myself, new to the on-line dialogue and feeling that vast anonymity. I've been reading DU since May of 2002, but have finally had enough of the laughing, yelling, and arguing with the screen and have decided to start putting in my little-ole 2 cents for whatever it's worth.

6. They've Probably Already Infiltrated Your Group

and the media will be all over any violence that happens, blaming it on the 'evil libruls'.

4. I think we need to go protest the anti-protest protestors!!! (nt)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

7. There will be like 1/2 dozen of these 'protest warriors'

:eyes:

they will be drowned out by the millions of anti-Bush protestors.

[Taylor Mason Powell]

8. Ah. Well, never mind then!

Carry on! :hi:

10. There will be a bunch of PWs. Trust me.

11. I have seen the counter-protests before. If they get 20 people

I'd be amazed.
