Fight Fire with Fire - The FRAUD FLOAT

[mikelewis]

In the weeks before the election Glenn Beck told his listeners to instruct the "dumb" democrats that voting for John Kerry was to be held on Wednesday. I distinctly remember hearing him say this several times during many of his shows. People would call in asking if it were legal and he would say things like, "well, technically, no." Um sorry dick head, technically yes. I guess Clear Channel does have high ethical standards. They have a professed alcoholic Glenn Beck and a confessed drug user Rush Limbaugh as their premiere spokesmen for ethics.

Now, I read this excerpt from commoncause.org

“Hi, I’m calling about things that were going out in
people’s mailboxes saying that Democrats were to
vote tomorrow and Republicans were to vote today
and not all the news media is telling people the
correct things that these things are going around and
are incorrect. I just wanted to know why that wasn’t
in the news – that people were sending these things
out. On all the news media channels.” – Voter in
Franklin County, Ohio


He even had a campaign to construct a John Kerry waffle-head float that would ride around Franklin county delivering this message.

Also in Franklin County - the infamous "Project Longface"

This is a campaign inspired and commisioned by Mr. Beck to intimidate the voters of Columbus. It even states this on his site.

"John sent in this picture of Stu intimidating voters in Columbus, Ohio."

"We had rain, we had Stu, we had angry Kerry supporters, we had a car accident - but nothing could deter us from our goal of disenfranchising as many voters as we could. And we succeeded!"

"We emerged from the bunker at 7:30am, spreading our message of disenfranchisement, indecision, and UN love to the Columbus rush-hour crowd. I think I shed a tear when we finally hit the streets. Our Waffle-head, this painful labor of love, was finally spreading its wings and soaring into the consciousness of voters everywhere."


Now, I think fair is fair. Can we construct a 700 foot tall Fraud Float and sail it through the streets of Cleveland?

I'm very serious about this. Imagine the media attention it would get. I bet you'd get the MSM freaking out.

1. " Can we construct a 700 foot tall Fraud Float and sail it through the

streets of Cleveland?"

Hey! I like that. We need to get some brave liberals to get it done.

2. I'll do it, I just need a 700 foot tall float the spells out FRAUD

Anyone have one of these I can borrow? Odds are you won't get it back and I may need bail money but screw it. I'll do it.

3. Creative "guerilla marketing" idea. Good idea. peaceful ideas to get

the Votergate story attention.

4. I never saw this....

What in the hell is wrong with these people? Damn idiots I say. I want to make a giant float with a collage of all the dead and maimed children from Fallujah. I bet it still wouldn't sink into them why this is all wrong!

5. Good lord, that would be a sight to see, could you just imagine our parade

Television Commentator "And here's a float of George Bush holding 2 planes in his hands, throwing them at a mock up of the trade centers."

I think we may get in a fight over this one lol

6. Mike, I like your style! I'm laughing here.

First good laugh I've had all day. I like it

-- instead of King Kong going after the Empire State Building, it would be Chimp going after the WTC.

11. How aboout one made of what is it now

1200 or 1300 small flag covered coffins for all the soldiers?
They never allow the news to cover that on TV, disgraceful.

[mikelewis]

7. In all seriousness, how do we get something like this done?

If Glenn Beck could do it, then so can we.

Think about it. It wouldn't have to be 700 feet tall but tall enough to gain people's attention. Just a giant float that says FRAUD

How can we do it? I can't even fly a kite so I have no expertise here but I imagine it would draw national attention. IT's doable and would of course gain exposure the larger we made it. Can we put together this project in a week to 10 days? What material is needed and what permits would we need?

Anyone know?

8. I wish I was there to help....

did you post this in the Ohio forum?
I don't know anything about building floats, but if those dumbasses in the pictures could do it, I am sure we could! What did they do for a permit? Ask rosebud57.

9. Maybe start simply...

think of things you have and work from there. Do you have access to a pick up truck? Maybe get creative people to come up with a theme and drive them around in the truck, like a float. (5 people can each spell out the word 'fraud', etc). Have a parade of pick-ups since there are so many routes you can go with each type of fraud committed. Do it this Sunday during the 51 capital march.

12. How about a big replica of a black box machine with the word FRAUD

10. How About In the Rose Parade ? n/t

13. remember michael moore in the ice cream truck?

How about an extermination truck with a p.a. system? On the side of the truck have the words "does anyone else smell a rat?" Have someone reading all of the so-called irregularities over and over again as you ride around. Hell, get two or three trucks going at the same time.

15. oops--sorry for the dupe

I say "so-called irregularities" because I think it's outright fraud--again!

16. When * came to my town, the Pants On Fire Float was there!

We were standing on the street corner with our Kerry signs, across the street from the arena where * was speaking. The float must have driven by 10 times while we stood there! Hilarious!

BTW, folks in Wayne County, MI. also were told to vote on the 2nd rather than the 3rd. I believe they were given fliers. It's on the voteprotect.org website. Heavily Democratic area, of course.
