1. "Don't Hand My Health Care to a Union Boss"????????

WTF???

[Hepburn]

50. Take a look at the Neanderthal standing to the left of the sign carrier...

...birds of a feather, IMO.

[YOY]

52. Looks like a typical white suburbanite know-nothing kid with the world in his lap to me.

Sorry Hep, just looks like a dopey kid...not like the steriotypical knuckledragger that we usually see.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

63. They look just like my conservative students who literally believe that Bush is God incarnate! n/t

[Skittles]

2. gun nuts are really pitiful people

[Adam Kirur]

48. Yeah, until they kill someone

[alsame]

3. Yes, but I much prefer they wear capes rather than guns. nt

[Robb]

49. Yaay, I'm a superhero!

[calimary]

60. Forgot their pointy white hoods.

Or their feetsie pajamas. One or the other.

[MilesColtrane]

4. Where are the pointy, white hats to cover their pointy, little heads?

[Island Blue]

8. This is their summer collection.

Very chic.

[vaberella]

55. Bwahahaha!! +10000. n/t

[MrModerate]

5. "Don't hand my healthcare to a union boss" -- WTF? Are they running out of . . .

Nonsensical slogans so they have to keep making new ones up?

[dionysus]

14. well, the cookie monster was booked so they had to pick something...

:shrug:

[alsame]

15. It looks like a kid holding that sign...bet he doesn't even work yet. nt

[GoCubsGo]

19. I'll bet someone is paying him to hold up that sign...

Or, maybe Mommy and Daddy are making him do it. Judging by his posture, I don't think the kid really cares about what happens.

[alsame]

20. I think you're right. nt

[question everything]

6. Where are they hiding their white hoods? (nt)

[zippy890]

[stillrockin]

9. Confederacy of Dunces

[Kookaburra]

13. Apropos (although I loved that book when I read it in h.s.)

The title certainly suites these ass-hats.

The first thing I thought when I saw this is "fools."

[C_U_L8R]

10. Those are some impressive 'KICK ME" signs

[JuniperLea]

11. Idiocracy is here...

Life imitating art... I knew we'd see it soon.

[lunatica]

39. I've been calling them the idiocracy class for a while now

hoping it would catch on at DU. There's no hiding what it means, or pretending there's anything redemptive about it. They're truly the idiocracy class. As a matter of fact I created this gif regarding the media, politicians and the idiocracy class.

[JuniperLea]

54. Excellent!

Well done.

[CitizenPatriot]

12. what is it

with the right and gimmicks? they love to play dress up. white pointy hats, white capes, purple bandaids, tea bag hats....it's all a big costume party for them where they get to identify with a large group through clothing choices.

they're just a big corporate logo fraud.

and they look sooooooooo ignorant.

[alsame]

16. Simple things amuse simple minds. nt

[YOY]

18. They're looking for something to stick.

Unfortunately nothing says "don't wear/do this" like a bunch of dopey looking white suburbanites.

[CitizenPatriot]

36. copy that. cut to

ANY republican trying to be cool. Oh, but swallow first.

[rug]

17. Capes.

:rofl:

[Withywindle]

30. They're stuporheroes. n/t

[lunatica]

40. Stuperheroes

of the idiocracy class! They put their foot where their mouth is!

[Ikonoklast]

22. Children playing at dress-up.

Meanwhile, the adults are in power and running the show now. Get used to it.

[depakid]

23. See cliff ahead? Hit the gas...

[Kaleko]

24. I'm wondering what the letters are saying on the front of their capes.

"My Insurance Plan: Try Me And Take It?"

[TheCentepedeShoes]

65. Looks like

a version of the Goliad cannon "come and take it"

[polly7]

25. Bet they didn't know the hoods come rolled up in the collars.

If I looked that stupid I'd sure have hidden my head ........ they couldn't have known.

[Beacool]

26. That is an ugly photo.

:-(

[high density]

27. Still trying to figure out what an AR-15 has to do with health care

Mexed missages.

[Cha]

28. Stupid and guns don't mix..these guys look like they're

takin' stupid to a record low.

And, of course, the corporatemediawhores are playing this up to get ratings..hope the mainstream is putting this together to realize the types who are falling for the lies regarding Health Care Choice.

[graywarrior]

29. R A C I S T S.

[JohnnyLib2]

31. I think so, too. Unless--

they are too ignorant to understand the symbolism of long white sheets.
Chilling either way.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

34. I doubt they are too ignorant to understand it... they are just assholes.

[zulchzulu]

32. Shooting practice stooges for the Secret Service

I'm sure their license plates weren't "observed" when they drove back to Mom's house.

Even Timothy McVeigh wouldn't be THAT STUPID.

[JoePhilly]

33. Compensation for a TINY PENIS ...

[Joe the Liberal]

35. Where's the big burning cross's? n/t

[Union Yes]

37. This cape makes my penis feel big, finally! FREEDOM!!! (from small appendages)

[LynnTheDem]

38. So all those total idiots who are against healthcare reform, NO GOVT OPTION

whatsoever for them EVER.

NO medicare for them. EVER.

NO public insurance option for them. EVER.




And let the rest of us sentient beings get on with life.

[Odin2005]

41. All that's missing is the white pointy hats.

[SeaLyons]

42. Racists, Tiny Penis....IDIOTS!!!!! n.t

[SeaLyons]

44. It's the gun nuts' "Come and Take it" flag...

WHY WE NEED THE COME AND TAKE IT FLAG TODAY

While pondering the struggles our forefathers faced, and while admiring the Come And Take It flag, I couldn't help but wish that we in the present had a symbol as powerful and inspiring as the Come And Take It flag was in 1835. Sure, the flag is relevant in that tyrants are still trying to take our guns, but no one is coming to take our breechloading, black powder, smoothbore fieldpiece. The cannon on the flag is largely symbolic of our struggle to retain our modern firearms. Why couldn't we update the flag so it represents our current struggle, while harkening back to history--reminding everyone that the struggle to retain our rights is as old as Texas and the USA? With a historical flag representing our cause, it would be apparent that we who fight those who would disarm us are not extreme or radical, we are merely walking in the footsteps and in the well-beaten paths first trod by our forefathers. Our historic flag would declare our historic cause.

Now, with an updated flag, no one can say the flag is only about a struggle between Santa Anna's thugs and Texans 160 years ago in the far away and distant past that offers no bearing today and has no relevance in today's struggle over gun control.

Now, anyone who sees the flag will consider that history is repeating itself today, and that those in power are aligned with tyrants of old--Santa Anna, King George III--that gun control is nothing new and is nothing more than the schemes of evil men working to subject the good and the innocent to tyranny and servitude. And perhaps, when people see the flag, they will choose the side of those resisting the marching thugs, and will take their place in that long line of patriots, minutemen, and freedom-fighters who have stood against wrong for hundreds of years.

[Bombtrack]

56. awwww, they think they're superheroes

[1Hippiechick]

[KyleA]

58. Two Nerds

[The Wizard]

62. Living proof

There's nothing dumber than a Republican, even a box full of hammers.

[rvablue]

64. Geesh, can the corporations get any more obvious?

These frat boys look like young versions of the Brooks Brothers brigade down in FLA in 2000.

I think the GOP got some Young Republican college boys to dress up as plumbers during the election, too.

God bless the Internet. They can be identified and tagged and paid impersonators immediately.
