How to have fun with our Repub "friends" at town halls!
Show up at the town hall with a shirt or hat that says "no to socialism" or something to that effect. Hand out signs to the marks, er protestors, that say "I am anti-social". Then encourage them to get in front of TV cameras. Enjoy. You can also try other signs such as:

"get the government out of our military/law enforcement/Medicare" or
"Obama is a Communist Nazi" with a merged Hammer & Sickle and swastika,or even
"government run health care in England killed Stephen Hawking!"

or make your own signs.

18. They do a good enough job of that without our help.
Besides, it's funnier when you know they made those signs themselves.

4. His point is to make them look foolish.
I don't think anyone should actually try to do this, but we could have some fun with it in this thread.

7. It's mocking them.
That's the best way to defuse this. They probably won't even know.

2. How about "Say no to Corporate Death Panels!"

9. a Communist Nazi?
you do realize that the communists and the nazis were bitter enemies and that Hitler killed thousands of commmunists? To say someone is a Communist Nazi is laughable to anyone with a brain.

10. There is a great Simpsons episode that parodies this.
A McBain movie, where he fights Commie-Nazi. Of course, McBain is played by Rainier Wolfcastle - who is a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

It's a laugh riot.
