One couple found a creative way to counter-protest pro-lifers

Brilliant!

...

While some pro-life advocates will continue to resort to violence and hate to get their message across, other protesters have more subtle techniques. One Raleigh, N.C., couple—Grayson Haver Currin, a writer for Pitchfork and music editor at Indy Week, and his wife Tina, a copywriter and creative strategist—has been protesting alongside pro-lifers at a clinic in Cary, N.C., every Saturday morning since March. But their signs take a different approach.

Two days ago, Tina started the Tumblr Saturday Chores to document their glorious counter-protest technique.

Such as: "Want less government? Thank a Republican."

I want to put up a sign next to it that reads: "Ask me about my farm subsidies!"

Maybe some day.

Our sign for stupid protests was going to be 'Stop Tectonic Drift!'

I can't remember if we ever did it or not now, it's been so many years.

Threw it at 'pro-lifers' who hated Muslim, African and Mexican immigrants and didn't want to 'pay for their children' being born here to become birthright Americans.

They sputtered in rage, especially those those who said killing abortion doctors and shooting immigrants crossing the border was good.

Then they shut up.

How about using the Rush mantras:

SUPPORTS WOMB TO THE TOMB HEALTH CARE FOR ALL! >>>


And

NANNY STATE SUPPORTER >>>

Or

SUPPORTS OBAMA'S FREE CONTRACEPTIVES>>>

Or just

OBAMACARE SUPPORTER>>>


Hope someone uses those...

Oh, and how about:

SUPPORTS CHILDREN CROSSING BORDER>>>

And

SUPPORTS WELFARE BABIES>>>

You get the drift...

Make 'em think...

Blow their minds...

Even spawn like Rahm.....
