The Etiquette Czars Rules for Patriotic Protest

Zoom-boing · Aug 14, 2009

The White House press office is now Miss Manners office. President Obamas press secretary Robert Gibbs took to the television airwaves this week to criticize congressional town hall protesters for yelling. Gibbs underling, Bill Barton, chastised voters not to disrupt and scream. Instead, he advised America to engage in a spirited debate about health care, a real vigorous conversation about it.

What constitutes spirited? How do they define vigorous? When does forceful dissent become intolerable disruption? Herewith, the Obama Etiquette Czars Official Rules for Patriotic Protest. Keep this guide with you at all times to avoid being flagged by the Democrat politeness monitors.

*No shouting. Congressional representatives cannot sell Obamacare with mobs of unruly senior citizens and small business owners interrupting to press them on specific sections of the bill. Limit your objections to a library whisper (30dB or less) and only challenge your lawmakers with hushed, dulcet tones. Otherwise, you will scare them and they will be forced to hide behind teleconference calls, sick children at hospitals, or union bosses.

If, on the other hand, you are attending a presidential town hall to show your affection and approbation, spirited chanting is acceptable.

Dont: HANDS OFF HEALTH CARE! and READ THE BILL!

Do: I LOVE YOU, BARACK! AMEN! and YES WE CAN!

Also permitted: Shouting at historic inaugurations to protest war (as legions of Code Pink activists did in 2005 during the presidents address) and shouting, We didnt cross the borders, the borders crossed us! to protest immigration enforcement (as thousands of illegal alien supporters did during raucous rallies in 2006).

Do refrain from boisterous shrieking against those who accuse you of lacking patriotism - unless you are Hillary Clinton, who bellowed at the top of her lungs in 2003:

I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow youre not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.

*No laughing. Snickering at proponents of nationalized health care is rude, bordering on political terrorism. Stifle all derisive chuckling at bogus statistics and denials that Obamacare will lead to long lines and rationed care. That would be evil-mongering, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid put it on Thursday.

If, however, you are a member of Congress confronted with silly questions about whether you have read the bill, feel free to giggle. For tips on executing acceptable levels of cackling, take a cue from Democrat Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. If every member pledged to not vote for it if they hadnt read it in its entirety, I think we would have very few votes, Hoyer told CNSNews.com while choking back laughter after a recent news conference. Im laughing because a) I dont know how long this bill is going to be, but its going to be a very long bill. Tee-hee-hee.

*No Nazi comparisons. References to fascism are ugly and un-American. Swastikas have no place in debates about nationalizing 20 percent of the economy. Swastikas may, however, still be used as substitutes for the S in BusHitler and tattoos on the forehead of ***** Cheney.

*No boorish questions. Real vigorous conversation requires town hall attendees to formulate queries that will encourage true debate. This is not the time to ask why Congress wont subject itself to the health mandates it wants to foist on every other American. This is not the time to ask how the White House will pay for the massive Obamacare bureaucracy without raising taxes on the middle-class. The White House endorsed model citizen questioning at its stacked East Room health care town halls in March and July, including this:

Hi, Mr. President. Im a member of SEIU and Im down here in Fairfax County working on Change That Works. What can I do, as a member of the union, to help you with your reform bill?

Gibbs really is an assclown.

I'm a Michelle Malkin fan. I think she has her act together... If she can figure it all out, why can't the liberals? They always act as if they know what's best for us... I think it's their pissy attitude.

Yes....a typical liberal assclown...but a slickster nonetheless....

..when liberals can't deal with WHAT is said....they then complain about HOW it's said...

....in order to DIVERT attention from the real discussion....

I'm with Hillary on this one:

Hillary Clinton, who bellowed at the top of her lungs in 2003:

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

Yes we camp!!! The highest number of foreclosures in history, under the non citizen shitcago thug!!

Right, using Dick Armey's talking points to scream down the speaker is definately right wing freedom of speech.

Grassroots, bullshit. About as grassroots as the RNC operatives in 2000 beating on the door to stop the counting.

If the right can't win in an election, then we will just scream and shout.

Bunch of assclown losers.
