NYC TO GOP: DROP DEAD

Tue Aug 17, 8:00 PM ET Add Op/Ed - Ted Rall to My Yahoo!


By UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE/TED RALL

Tourists are pleasantly surprised when New Yorkers act as friendly and polite as the people back home in Maybury. However, delegates to this month's Republican National Convention shouldn't expect to be treated to our standard out-of-towner treatment. 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.

They will not be greeted as liberators.

2. LOL That is so sweeeeeeeeet LOL
If I had a restaurant I'd make em wait and wait, seating other people first. Be painfully s-l-o-w serving them and then their order might be totally wrong ;-)

Tell em restrooms are out of commission.

What other nice ways can we think of to :cough: greet these nice folks :evilgrin:

I can't wait to hear the stories :bounce:

18. Eeeeeeewwwwwwww no I wouldn't want to see that happen either.
There are some things that are just wrong. Even if I hated a person I couldn't do it nor would I serve it to anyone if I knew anything like that was involved. Yuk.

Inconvenience or piss off a repuke, you bet :thumbsup:,..but I would hope intentionally endangering a persons health is off the menu :thumbsdown:.

3. Back to the top all day long!!!
n/t

For all of us that can't make it to NYC, we are there with you in spirit. As an alternative if you are anywhere near Texas check out www.texastruthconvention.org

If we can't make it to NYC, we are going to let George know from his very own backyard we want him to go back to Kennebunkport or wherever. Crawford isn't his home! Maybe Highland Park or next door to Mom and Dad in Houston (?), better yet, back to Midland/Odessa.

4. Hell Yes!
" If today's GOP retained a shred of the dignity and patriotism that it once possessed as the Party of Lincoln, it would have dumped Bush in favor of a candidate more interested in defending America than his wealthy contributors. Republicans are neofascists now, and that's why New Yorkers good and true will be yelling at them to go back home."

5. It would be cool if...
the Neo Fascists were totally ignored and that no protesters would show up. Shun them and vote them all out! Why give these Neo Fascist maggots the attention?
