How to best combat idiotic pro-life protesters

Eulogy · 03-25-2009, 09:38 PM

Obama is speaking at my school's commencement, and a shitton of people, most of whom have no connection to the school, are planning on bringing a massive protest to the ceremony. because it's a catholic school and Obama likes to feast on aborted fetuses. or something.

i am going to be there that weekend. what action would you all take if you were in my position.

i mean, it's goddamn president of the united states. if mccain had won and he decided to speak at my school's commencement, i'd still think it was pretty goddamn cool. but. ugh.

Answer: you would not.

what? there wouldn't be any.

a) ignore them (conscientious)
b) dress as clowns and mimic what they're shouting. i saw an article about this happening at a white power rally. a big group of people in clown suits stood near the group of shouting white power supporters, and they would shout things like "white flour" while tossing handfuls of flour in the air, or "wife power" while hoisting up the women in the group. apparently it drove away the white power protestors, so maybe it's worth a shot. (fun, possibly effective)

that sounds like fun. i thought about maybe throwing buckets full of condoms at them.

Hand out dvd-r's of the movie À l'intérieur (Inside) and tell them it's anti-Obama propaganda.

I don't think I would be able to make it through 20 minutes of this movie.

make an aborted fetus costume and wear it and pretend youre with them

noyen · 03-25-2009, 09:48 PM

so, next time you go and protest hooters for not hiring drag queens, it's fair that they can "combat" you by dumping shit and cum on you.

Eulogy · 03-25-2009, 09:51 PM

i mean regardless of what you think about me, you don't find it ridiculous to protest the goddamn president giving a commencement address?

noyen · 03-25-2009, 09:52 PM

exactly. your brain isn't reaching the point where you realize the question you're posing is completely stupid.

if there are thousands of people swarming my fucking campus with giant pictures of aborted fetuses, i'd like to think that there would be something that i and other like-minded individuals could do.

noyen · 03-25-2009, 09:58 PM

organize a protest over their protest.

you should mock them by getting huge pictures of aborted fetuses and captioning them with "BABY KILLING IS FUCKING AWESOME"

barden · 03-25-2009, 10:09 PM

FA, do you get any cool freebies or access or whatever with the warped tour?

Wait, you honestly believe that there wouldn't be protesters of John McCain if he were president at every stop he makes? Seriously?

hes not talking about every stop, hes talking about a stop at a conservative college.

mxzombie · 03-25-2009, 10:55 PM

Aren't they giving him an honorary degree? I thought that was what the controversy is about. I don't think that people are only mad because he's going to be there to give a speech.

That said, the only thing more annoying than people who travel to protest things are the people who protest the protesters.

beef curtains · 03-26-2009, 12:54 AM

omg i can't believe i'd never read that before.

that clown scenario seems great for any sort of protest.

Nimrod's Son · 03-26-2009, 01:05 AM

serious answer: the more attention you pay to protesters, the more power and coverage you give them. just ignore them, and see if you can catch a glimpse of the president.

i went to an anti nazi protest like 3 years ago. the nazi protest itself had about 20 people whereas the counter protesters exceeded 4000. swat team everywhere. i kinda went just to see real live neo nazis (didn't see them really). in retrospect it just seemed redundant. like, yeah, no shit nazis are fucking stupid.

when i was in college there was a klan rally downtown in memphis, and there were about 20 in the rally but the protesters numbered in the hundreds. they started throwing things at the klan members and things got out of hand because the police defended the klan members and the protesters started throwing things at the police. a full scale riot erupted, and my bus, which was parked outside the mechanic's where it was being fixed had its windows smashed. so anyway, what do we see on tv? a few seconds of the klan rally and then 3 minutes of black people rioting and throwing things.

my guess is that sent the klan's message better than a regular, ignored rally could.
