MoveOn Won’t Part II

| August 5, 2008

As I wrote earlier, MoveOn dot Org is upset that the Republicans are staging a revolt on the floor of the House this week demanding that Speaker Pelosi recognize that this is a crisis and that Congress do something about it instead of taking an well-deserved vacation after accomplishing absolutely nothing in the last two years. Under the gaze of Ulysses S. Grant MoveOn.org tried to protest for $10/gallon gas today. General Grant didn’t look pleased.

When I first got there, the ugly little Code Pink troll I see at every single protest was there without the rest of the trolls putting up this sign;

The Move On folks were just so pleased with themselves putting together this little impromptu event;

And they had the undivided attention of the media

But that all changed when the evil Republican groups seemingly came from no where with their profane signs about drilling oil (gasp!) and driving down the price for the working people of the nation

Of course this drew the media’s attention away from MoveOn

So MoveOn rushed in their troops

Some of the Republican groups I was able to identify were Free Republic, Americans for Prosperity, National Taxpayer’s Union and Freedom Works. There were a couple of discussions between sides and a couple of young girls from Move On tried to tear up signs the Republicans had. One guy, who later identified himself as a retired LtCDR in the Navy (he showed me his ID card), physically threatened one of the Republicans.

The moonbats admitted that they wanted gas to go to $10/gallon so people would use less and the price would fall. I don’t know, it didn’t make sense to me either. It might work with gold or silver, but not with a commodity that has the effect that oil has on the economy. But we’re talking about a group of short-sighted morons who smoked pot through ECON 101 in the 60s.

This group was especially raucous. I’m usually able to keep my mouth shut and just film, but when they started physically attacking peaceful opposition, I couldn’t control myself – you’ll see all of that on the video. With one group, I talked with them for about ten minutes and when it seemed like the discussion was over I walked away and they taunted me with “Oh, yeah, just walk away.” I guess I was supposed to listen to their dumbasses until I finally fell under their spell.

Their ideas are so cockeyed and naive it was unbelievable. One guy was handing out pamphlets declaring that the evil Republicans wanted to drill off the coast of Florida – that it was a lie and there was no oil there. I asked him, if there’s no oil there why are the Chinese and Cubans drill off of Florida’s coast. He was dumbstruck (I wish I’d had the video on) and just stood there with his mouth open trying to find words. His buddy helped him out by saying “The Chinese aren’t drilling there”. Oh, OK.

One old white guy got upset when I called him “you people”. He told me it was racist and demeaning. Since I’m an old white guy, too, who was I being racist toward? And I meant it to be demeaning. He threatened to kick my ass if I said it again…but when I said it again, he didn’t. Blowhard.

If there were any false solutions, it was those offered by Move On.

This guy was with Americans for Prosperity and had some pretty good discussions with the moonbats. He actually came on his bicycle…so much for evil Republicans in their Hummers, huh;

And, of course rongkirby, frequent commenter here was there with his trusty flag

I finally got my highlights clip on YouTube so I took down the raw clips, but those of you that linked to them, I’m leaving them on YouTube. I edited about 20 minutes of video down to just over 8 1/2 minutes. Hope you enjoy it.

In this video, the first moments that the conservatives made their entrance and surprised the Move On folks. Then the  entire assault on one conservative. A woman asks me where we’ll be in fifty years if we don’t stop using oil – then tells me that the “fat cats are sitting” on a secret alternative energy source.

An old moonbat explains how $10/gallon gas will drive the price down (huh?) and old baldy tries to scare a young guy by telling him the military will send him (a merchant marine) into an Army line unit with two weeks of combat training. He’s so full of crap and I think I let him know that – you tell me.

But you’ll get to hear me add my two cents occasionally. I usually try to stay out of the discussion and just film, but they pressed my buttons when they started pushing and tearing signs.

Those MoveOn clowns are just so irritating.

Jonn…
Rock on. These asshats will never stop whining. Remember that their philosophy boils down to “if it’s good for AMerica, it’s bad for dems.” Freaking moonbats. WHere’s the Dr. when you need him…:)(Paging Dr. Raoul…)

Good work Jonn. Thank you for this report. It was great to see so many young men and women(about 25)come out from a number of orgs countering the moonbats and they were vocal. You are right again when you mention that the same ole opposition groups like code pink were there. I hope that we can get a number out in Sept. to show support for the battling Republicans to lift the ban on offshore drilling. Many states like VA, the one I live in would love to produce and would love the royalties. Those damn Texans are having to much fun.

YOU GO JONN!!! I love the fact that the asshat was wearing an Obama 08 t-shirt. Like his “Messiah” he flat out lied right into the camera.

LT Nixon

Cool stuff! What would drunken Ulysses S. Grant say if he saw this?

Maggie45

God bless ya, Jonn!! They sure are irritating. Yuck. Very unattractive also. You got to the jerk in the end. Thank you.

Also, you’ve got a sexy voice.

“The Chinese aren’t drilling there”.

Actually, they aren’t. It’s a Canadian firm (Sherritt International Corp.) that’s doing the drilling, with the Chinese supplying some of the drilling equipment. India may get in on the deal, and some South American country (Brazil?). But, yes, there be drillin in them thar waters, arrrrrr!

What would a drunken Ulysses Grant say? Not much, he’d kick ass and then ask questions.

However, I prefer the Meade Method – tar and feather these imbiciles, then place them on a ass facing backwards and parade them around camp.

And effective way to shut down the BS.

AttaBoy Jonn!

“What would a drunken Ulysses Grant say?”

What would Brian Boitano do, if he were here right now?
I’ll bet he’d kick an ass or two, that’s what Brian Boitano’d do.

Many thanks to all that showed up to counter the moonbats!

What would a drunken Ulysses Grant say?

Slap him around and call him Suzie, (they guy with the Obama 08 shirt!)
Early in the morning!

Stupid is as moonbat does!!! Excellent work by all involved in countering the moonbat loonies, especially Ol’ Baldy. What a jerk he IS!!! All blowhard and no substance, a true coward who was probably one of those clintoon officers. Again, great job!!!

Raoul Deming

Next time just chant, “Mean spirited, arrogant, condescending liberals…”

USMCdaughter1

Well done everyone! As always, the left despises the truth and loses control when forced to listen to it!

Way to go, Airborne! That Ex-Navy officer is just nuts. “Have you ever been in combat, son?” Then Airborne calls him OUT! He couldn’t think of any battles to have pretended to be in! Hahahha.

That’s why even artillery grunts like me would sing marching songs about Airborne. Because they rock!

The more I read about these morons the more I wonder how they get so miseducated and uneducated on any subject. How could you not know that foreigners are drilling off Florida? Better yet, how could you not know that there’s gobs of oil off Florida?

As to that a-hole LtCdr, I’d like to have that ID run through DoD. If he did serve I bet it was ashore at some place like the Pentagon where he served coffee to real officers.

As to backing down that threat, I’ve done that three times in the last 20 years or so and each time they just stand there… but wait, you’re not supposed to say that, you’re an old person (yeah, an old staff sergeant) <shock>, <surprise>

John,
I am getting tired of you having all the fun. Just kidding and maybe someday when I don’t have to work for a living I will get to join in.
Love your reporting. Keep it up.

Great job, Jonn!

[…] John at This Ain’t Hell should get an award for valourous service on the steps of Congress. John spent time filming protesters from Code Pink and MoveOn who are unhappy with the Republicans for wanting to Drill Drill Drill…… These idiots really think that $10/gal gasoline will help the economy! […]

Frankly Opinionated

BUT, But, but, Jonn! How dare you question his Bethesda front line heroic duty? Just, how dare you? He could have grounds for a suit against you, cuz when you mentioned Bethesda, it hit a sore spot, causing him to turn so fast as to possibly dislocate, his seat from his spine. Ain’t it fun, letting them slap themselves down?
Scenes like that are nearly enough to make me want to move from the boonies to the city, (did I just write that?), to be able to participate in the fun.

Navy…. Heaven protect me from my shipmates. It just goes to prove what I said to people who asked my why I didn’t try to become an officer. “I don’t meet the prerequisites… my parents were married to each other.”

sorry, should read…asked ME why, Tin ear typest sometimes.

Jonn,
I wish I were still in D.C. I’d be a frequent participant in your ventures….and I’d probably end up in jail for smacking the shit out of some of the moonbats I encounter.

I applaud your efforts to reason with the mentally disabled left. Next time have a cattle prod up your sleeve, use freely 🙂
