More Progs Must Use "Who Are You?" Stop/Frisk Tactics

User avatar
Comrades,

Rarely are we treated to the kind of Progressive Leadership and Example-Setting as exhibited by our Comrade, Democrat Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-NC2). You'll no doubt feel Revolutionary Inspiration from viewing his tour-de-force exhibition and application of Progressive Insights into the Constitutional norms for public officials to stop, restrain and interrogate people on the street exhibiting suspicious behavior (such as asking the kinds of questions popular among Tea-Bagging Racists):





We need to emulate Comrade Etheridge by ceasing to "coddle" anyone we even remotely suspect might arguably be harboring the slightest possible notion of agreeing with those dangerous Tea-Baggers. Especiallly the ones supporting the unconstitutional Arizona law permitting law officers to ask people already detained for other law-breaking to provide identification.


The always-whining Right-Wingers are already writing smears against the courageous actions of our loyal Comrade Etheridge: that awful Big Government site and that awful HotAir site.

My Most-Loyal Deputy, Thought-Crime Warden:

I could not have said it better.

Unless we greatly increase the scope and tempo of such "Who Are You? Stop, Frisk & Interrogate" tactics, the next thing we'd know these questions about ObamaCare would spread like wildfire amongst the young college students who seem to be developing some kind of resistance to the Education Techniques being diligently applied by the wise faculties of our institutions of higher learning.

They might even stoop to asking questions about recent press reports indicating our own internal documents contradict what I have repeatedly assured the public by saying, "Let me be clear: I have always said, 'If you like your current health-care plan, you get to keep it.'"





We must nip in the bud their growing and dangerous tendency to ask heretical questions.

You are so correct, Thought-Crime Warden.

With the urgent need for Doctor Obama to be healing Mother Earth and trying to plug the hole in GAIA in the Gulf, we can't afford to be distracted with bothersome questions by Tea-Bagging dupes of the Right Wing.

Fear not-- our Comrades with keep the peasants at bay while you explain to the American people tomorrow night that immediately enacting Cap & Trade is the only effective way to end the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, restore the oil-soaked wildlife, restore the oil-soaked marshes and wet-lands, and restore the pristine beaches.

Then by the Next Tuesday, all signs of the spill and all its bad effects will have disappeared from view (in the trustworthy media, and, of course, no one will pay attention to the continuing propaganda at Fox that might try to make a specious connection to the inadequacy of our courageous measures to prevent the oil from reaching land and our wise decision to decline to waive the Jones Act and thereby preserve control of the operation by American Labor Unions.)

We would have liked to have heard less "Who Are You?" and more "Where are your papers?". But all in all not a bad interrogation by Comrade Etheridge.
The so-called student is now in our facility. We will soon know who sent him and who his family and friends are. The video has been retrieved and is being kept in a secure location.

Hold the censored press Brothers in Arms!

Stazi has uncovered that the young men depicted in the video are not bright and ambitious Tea Bagging College students they portray themselves to be! Unnamed, Uncorroborated and Utterly Useless (U4) informants have in fact identified them as aliens from the outer galaxy known only as "republicanotrons". These celestial beings have lost their leader and are free roaming the outer perimeter of galaxy looking for their voice. Reports say they have reorganized and will launch a serious offensive on the USA come November.

The Democratic party has been on high tin foil hat alert to spot and issue an ultra paranoid citizens arrest (or at least a slap down) on anyone who appears to be associated with these creatures. These vermin can be easily identified when they ask simple and unparty-like questions about anything "the One" (PBUH) has decreed to be good and fruitful for the unwashed masses, despite their protests to the opposite.

Be on high alert as they live and walk among us. Report all suspicious activities to your toilet bowl as it has for years doubled a conduit straight to party HQ unbeknownst by you until now. We hear and see all your dirty deeds.

The Democratic Party has already issued talking points for bloggers and trolls:

Politico

Democratic Party Memo wrote:1. There is always the part of the story that you can't see in these gotcha style videos — what were these folks doing, how did they approach him, how were the cameraman and/or others off camera acting?

2. Why would any legitimate student doing a project or a journalist shagging a story not identify themselves. Motives matter — what was the motivation here? To incite this very type of reaction?

3. This is clearly the work of the Republican Party and the “interviewer” is clearly a low level staffer or intern. That's what explains blurring the face of the “interviewer” and refusing to identify the entity this was done for. The Republicans know if they were caught engaging in this type of gotcha tactic it would undermine their own credibility — yet if it was an individual acting on his own there is no reason that person would have blurred themselves out of the video — and if it was the work of a right wing blog they would have their logo on the video and be shouting their involvement from the roof top.

4. This was a purposefully partisan hit job designed to incite a reaction for political reasons — but it is a tactic so low — the parties involved are remaining anonymous.

5. The fact that no one wants to take credit for this should raise real questions in the minds of voters and the press.

6. Push hard w/ blogs the lack of credibility inherent to anything Breitbart does/posts, given its role in the debunked ACORN videos:

Dear Comrade Margaret,

Your reminding us of the importance of adhering to The Truth is a valuable contribution to the Common Good.

We must constantly remember Obama's admonition to us to always pay heed to reliable sources of information such as the DailyKos, the Democratic Underground, the 9-11 Truthers, the Huffington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC & PBS, etc.

We must support Comrade Etheridge, who exhibited extraordinary restraint considering the source of the impudent provocation of being accusatorily asked by an young right-wing upstart whether he "supports the Obama agenda."

Thank Lenin we can count on the Washington Post to correctly portray Rep. "Who-are-you/Stop-Frisk" Etheridge as the victim of the impudent youth who dared ask him whether he supports the "Obama Agenda."

And, predictably, of course, the Right Wing Rags smear the WaPo for writing an objective report on this verbal assault on Comrade Etheridge by a Tea-Bagging sympathizer:
