Any Obama supporters in DC? We need photos of anyone posing as an Obama person at the "rally"

[jsmirman]

The Obama campaign has wisely requested that we not counter protest, so as to avoid creating any more of a circus at "Hillary's Insane Power Grab 2008".

But I fear that one of two things will happen:

1) Hillary supporters will pose as Obama supporters, in an effort to give the appearance that there is some kind of spectacle worth covering or

2) Republican operatives will be posing as Obama supporters, doing their best to drag this thing deep into the mud.

If there are people there supporting Obama in any sort of counter protest, we need as much information as possible on these people. We need photos of every face in that crowd. If you can, ask people for their names and home towns.

It isn't good enough to have a situation like the Preppy Riot where the truth came out too late.

We need to have this information nailed 100% as soon as possible, so if people are posing as Obama supporters, this sort of plot is revealed for the vile trick that it would be.

1. Obama supporters report to the Bar.

3. I can pretty much guarantee you that there will be Rethuglicans there

posing as "obama supporters". This is what has me pissed off at Hillary's dumb ass. She is PLAYING right into their hands by organizing this rally. STUPID.

6. What do you think is the best way to ID them? For one, tivo and a vid cap card

tivo'ing CNN's press coverage may give us a way to zoom in on each face.

If I lived in DC I would be snapping photos of each and every person posing as an Obama supporter.

We have to expose this thing if they attempt to pull off a farce.

7. Won't they be easy to spot by the way they dress?

You know, shorts with white socks and black dress shoes?

4. the Republican operatives will be the ones with the gold watches....

dressed in Obama t-shirts.

5. How Free Republic of you.

Would you just listen to yourself?

[jsmirman]

10. Do you think I'm being paranoid? You have to bring the right weapons when you

dance with thugs. If we'd been more vigilant in 2000, that Preppy Riot would have been fuck soup.

Man, five black dudes from Oakland would have made those assholes wet themselves. They were all loud and nasty while yelling at old people and harried election officials, but they would have scurried off clutching their purses if confronted with one of their deepest fears.

[Ravy]

13. Then send your five black dudes from Oakland...

don't send Obama supporters to prove there are no Obama supporters there.

[jsmirman]

14. There's a difference between people asking a few questions while not protesting

and people causing a ruckus, like I suspect these operatives will do.

And it's just not an equivalent situation. I suggested the "five black dudes from Oakland" because I'd bet many dollars that the screaming Preppies were cowardly chicken shit racists that would have been scared out of their minds by GASP a black person.

11. It is likely that republican operatives

will try to use this event to their advantage, thats a fact. I know plenty of DU'ers and kossacks who will be there tomorrow so I know we have some competent people to keep an eye out

[jsmirman]

12. tell 'em to take photos and to force the press to do their freaking jobs

and interview these people to see if they're the real deal or not.

What, btw, are "kossacks" in this context?

[muryan]

15. Kossacks are to Daily Kos

as DU'ers are to DU

[jsmirman]

16. Gotcha. Thanks. And tell them what to do. Press the press to press

instead of just sucking, like the press usually does.

[gristy]

8. Maybe the press will refer to them as "individuals wearing Obama T-shirts"

and maybe even interview a few to try to get names and hometowns. I'd like to hear a report on how successful they are with that.

Too much to hope for? Probably.

9. It's hard to look "not crazy"

:rofl:

17. Unwrap the reynolds wrap.

18. Everyone posting in this thread is a raving lunatic.

The response to this will prove my point.

[PermanentRevolution]

19. DEMON MONKEY BABIES ARE EATING MY EYEBALLS FROM THE INSIDE!!!

Sorry, were you going for a more subtle kind of raving lunatic?

[Cronus Protagonist]

21. I rest my case

20. Why? Do you consider this a far fetched scenario?

History suggests you might be wrong.

[Cronus Protagonist]

22. See?

[jsmirman]

27. Oh, you're just an idiot. You sat around ready to post that to any response.

My response was perfectly temperate. You're just here to be a jackass. Pathetic.

[Cronus Protagonist]

29. I did say that the following posts would prove my statement

I think that has been adequately proven. QED.

[leftofcool]

23. Calling all O supporters..........report here to get your orders

[cali]

24. this is so silly.

just relax, and let events unfold- without the tinfoil headgear.
