PWND:Teabaggers could not control room last night at Grayson town hall in Orlando.
We turned out a huge number of supporters and they simply couldn't shout us down!

They tried...

They lost...

All we needed was Ashton Kutcher to be there to explain to the would be shouters how they just got punked...

:rofl:

and the shouters outside who didn't get in got ran off by the OPD when tried to shut the meeting down by disturbing the peace.

In the end the media got to see for once that these wanna be bullies were just a bunch of little punks and that they don't own this town.

:rofl:

3. by being organized and calling out the cavalry...
I sent out 1700 emails to my list and used facebook and linked in contacts as well and sent text messages to all my dems. In turn others did the same and we turned out a good sized crowd in the room and let OPD take care of the overflow shouters - the event was immediately following the DEC meeting so we could have had every seat in the room but we had a second event to allow some of the teabaggers in but we still owned the room even after people left from the first one. In the end the ones in the room did the math and after a few attempts to shout and heckle got shouted down by us they either left or stopped acting out. One guy tried to throw a temper tantrum and yell that he was leaving and we taunted him by shouting Buh-bye so that you couldn't hear him.. that was FUN!

They tried shouting "read the bill" outside the hall which hilariously Grayson was already doing anyways but the next thing you heard was a bunch of sirens and a police helicopter and it suddenly got a lot quieter outside... :rofl:

They got PWND last night..

:rofl:

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully, others will take the hint and get out there in force.

6. Nope - at least not local media hasn't done that..
and they really can't if they want to use any footage from inside the room.

If they want to use footage outside the building, that also makes the teabaggers look like punks because there was nobody but them outside and the cops and the cops ran them off.

:rofl:

11. No staying power
And now that folks are organized against them, they barely have what it takes even to show up. I predict that the last two weeks of August will be very dislike the first two weeks. Any members of Congress who are cowed by the shouters don't need to retain their seats after 2010.

Good job!
