OK... we need help in responding to a Teabagger post from niece on FB:
Advertisements [?]


My husband and I marched last night with Occupy Boston..... he posted this on FB last night:

This Vietnam Vet, capitalist just marched for the first time ever with the Boston Occupiers! Dewey Square to the bridge. Actually, it was enjoyable. Cold, rain, and *** yelling with the best of them! What a country and the police were actually supportive. This is a needed poke to the powers that be!!

*********************

My husband has never done this before, but I have, many times. Anyway, this morning, we found this response from a niece on FB:

I hope everyone picked up their trash... Are the occupiers taking up a collection to repay the city for the added stress on it's infrastructure and resources? I don't get it at all. Sticking it to the man? why don't they go do something productive and stick to him that way? run for office, change the laws, write letters and make change happen. I respect legitimate demonstration with a purpose, but this is a joke.

And then she came back with this:

oh, and did you go check your stock values right after you were done marching... just asking?

***********************

We have many responses for these posts, but want to leave EMOTION out of the equation..

What we want to do is give her a response that will leave her speechless..... we don't want to start a flame wars thing.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

DUers are so good at this, and I've never asked before.. but would like some help here.

Thanks in advance.
