The Fine Art Of Insane Protest

Since healthcare reform is so important and everything — it touches all our lives, after all, and those of our grandmothers, too — and fighting healthcare reform is the noblest battle a right-wing warrior can join right now, it wasn’t enough for the as-yet-unidentified 51-year-old man who was detained by deputies outside a town hall event held by Sen. Benjamin Cardin at Hagerstown Community College in Maryland yesterday to carry a sign reading “Death To Obama”.

Effective opposition to healthcare reform dictated that he also add: “Death to Michelle”.

But would that be enough to register fervent opposition to death panels? Obviously not. So he conscientiously added: “and her two stupid kids.”

“Death To Obama, Death to Michelle and and her two stupid kids”!
You can well imagine his immense satisfaction at a job well done when he was finished lettering his sign. As he wiped the sweat from his brow, no doubt he was thinking: “‘And her two stupid kids!’ What a masterstroke!”
