DEL.ICIO.USYou might call them flaggers with ears. Or feathers.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It was the ambush that didn’t happen.
Democratic pranksters dressed as non-copyrighted versions of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy planned to disrupt the National Rifle Association’s press conference Thursday at the state Capitol, but were discovered beforehand and booted by Capitol police.
The NRA was endorsing Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue’s re-election bid. Democrats want the spotlight on what they say was his sweetheart deal on property near Walt Disney World in Orlando. Perdue bought the property from a developer who has contributed to his campaigns and who was appointed to a state board by the governor.
The guerilla theater didn’t come off as planned, so the pranksters took their antics outside where state Democratic Party spokesman Emil Runge — not in costume — taunted the governor.
“Apparently, he’s scared of Mickey,” Runge said.
It’s clear that Perdue can expect more appearances from the Disney trio before the Nov. 7 election.

Well, CLEARLY we have way too much freedom of expression in this country. He’s the Governor! He should be allowed to jail anyone he even thinks is going to express themselves near the Capitol in any way he deems unflattering to himself. Hopefully these ear-wearing traitors will be tortured and jailed indefinitely under the new law Congress is passing, finally, to help us exterminate individual rights once and for all!

That’s right. Maybe we should jail anyone who looks funny or expresses an idea that is counter to the GOP talking points. We should be able to put them in re-education or concentration camps for good measure. That will teach them to speak out against the government.
