BREAKING: Giant Republicans Roam Seattle, Are Cowed from Attacking Democrats by Cleverly Placed Signs!
I get a kick out of the grassroots left at times. A guy in Seattle, WA has started a group called “RepublicansAreADisease.com”, wherein the anonymous author encourages all the oppressed and downtrodden Democrats in the state of Washington to Get Mad As Hell and Not Take It Anymore. They should, he explains, destroy Republican yard signs and replace them with his own creations, little Progressive McNuggets of anger.
If this confuses you, you’re not alone. I’m kind of baffled about it, too. Michelle Malkin clipped a bit of one of the anonymous freedom fighter’s screeds and it’s…interesting. Let’s just say I’m not feeling the Les Miserables-like spirit of the revolution.
I live in Seattle. I had a sign in the back of my car that read “Republicans America’s Worst Enemy”. Just to let you know I got 20 smiles and thumbs up for every shaking head, and finger!
No kidding? People in Washington, a state whose legislature has been run by Democrats for well over a decade, really go for anti-Republican car signs? Washingtonians, whose state House and Senate are almost 2-1 Democrat, don’t like Republicans all that much?
Well color me twitterpated! What else will this brave speaker of truth to power reveal?
When I get a little too upset, I print up some of these signs, take my ladder, and staple them up high on telephone poles in my neighborhood. If there are any Republicons around, I want my signs in their face. I am mad, and I won’t take their attacks sitting down any more.
Wait…the Republicans in Seattle are so big that signs way up on a telephone pole are “in their face [sic]? That sounds like a more serious problem then simple politics. There are true monsters among us!
Does the military know about this? They’re apparently been attacking people, so you’d think the Pentagon might have launched some sort of airplane attack on them, or maybe rolled a few tanks in to shoot at them. Why has this menace gone entirely unnoticed save for one poor Democrat who has been driven to frustration by their bald-faced high-altitude attacks? Why have we not destroyed this threat and given this brave soul a chest full of medals?
I am tired of being called names by the likes of Rush Limpbat, and his sickening right wing, ignorant ditto head friends. I love my country, and I am not afraid to let my neighbors know I think the Republican Party is America’s greatest enemy, and must be driven from power.
Oh, wait. Stop the presses. There weren’t any actual attacks. This guy just didn’t like being called names by a radio talk show host, who isn’t actually a representative of the Republican Party. Geez, that was kind of disappointing. Here I was looking forward to a knock-down fight between the forces of right and good and the incredibly lanky forces of evil. What did I get instead? Pathetic whining about Rush Limbaugh.
One other question occurs to me: when did the Republicans get back in power? Last I checked, Democrats won the White House in 2008 and the Congress two years before that. As I noted earlier, Democrats have controlled Washington politics for at least a decade. So what power do Republicans have from which Mr. Brave Dissenter Who Can’t Take It Anymore can drive them? It surely isn’t political power where he lives, or in Washington, DC. So what power does he no longer want them to have? The power to speak freely? The power to assemble freely?
Seems like, if I were inclined to look for signs of fascism, I wouldn’t have to go very far from the guy who wrote this whinge-fest. One last nugget.
President Obama can reach out to Republicons all he wants, while they are stabbing him in the back every chance they get. I will be poking them in the eye non stop, until they change their ways. I won’t hold my breath…
You know what they say, an eye for a back makes the whole world blind and…ummm…backless. Or something like that. But now I’m confused again. Will he be eye-poking, non-stop or will he be climbing ladders to put signs on telephone poles when he gets upset? It seems to me that poking someone in the eye is a good way to get rid of some frustration. On the other hand, having to choose between letting your progressive flag fly high from a telephone pole and poking a giant Republican in the eye would only increase one’s frustration. Perhaps this guy does both at once — pokes Republicans in their oversized eyes with one hand and staples a sign to the telephone pole with the other. In that case, God bless him for his superhuman dexterity and sense of balance.
But that leads me to another question. How will Republicans know his signs are in their faces if he’s poking them in the eyes at the same time? I’ve had my eye poked a time or two, not by a brave Democratic insurgent mind you, and I know that your vision gets a bit dodgy after a good eye-poke. I would have been hard-pressed to see a clever sign in front of my face while my vision was all blurred and teary. I think this guy is working a bit too hard. He should stick either to sign-posting or eye-poking. Both is clearly overkill.
Then again, he’s the clever political activist, so what do I know?

I think I just choked on my Right Winged Non-Recyclable bottle of water… Great stuff! I was beginning to wonder how those massive Repubs out in SEATTLE (aren't we a minority of massive proportions out there) were going to see the signs once he poked out their eyes… but you covered it, he's quite the clever political activist. And possibly part Stretch Armstrong
Wonderful stuff!
"I hate being called names by Rush (name called) and his (name called)(name called),(name called)(name called) friends."
Ah, okay then.
It's astroturf.
The guy behind it works for the Democrats.
Fun read, though!
I have pictures of a guy I think is the owner of that website I encountered him last year when he came to show his sign to our Tea Party

I find it laughable that the people of Washington and Oregon now flaunt their liberalism. I was born there and grew up in the Willamette Valley, and in the 1960s,70s, and 80s, that region was overflowing with Democrats, but oddly they were mostly CONSERVATIVE Democrats, Cowboys, Farmers, and Loggers, the very people that the current inhabitants of the area refer to as "Rednecks", and "Hicks". By todays standards, most of the people who I grew up around in Eugene Oregon would be run out of town as TOO Conservative. Also interestingly, if you were able to view the birth certificates of most most of the newer residents of that of that area, you would very likely, find that they were not born there, but rather they were born in California and only came north to escape the crime ridden hole of LA which they had created and are now in the process of "Liberalizing" the rest of the West Coast, spreading crime and gang violence as they go.
