Mimes are the fifth column of Obamunism.

SEIU thugs blowing hateful whistles. Also, too.

The ones on stilts always skeer me.

What the hell is a hateful whistle?

Mimes…minions….coincidence? I think not!

I’m pretty sure the tags are wrong – I can see the clowns, but it’s all shot waist-and-above, not a clown shoe in sight.
r€nato
Huh. I wouldn’t have thought there’d be that many to be found in West Virginia. Do they have a mime program at your college or something? A halfway house for recovering mimes?

The first rule of Mime Club is… YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT MIME CLUB.

@r€nato: They do let us out of the state every now and then.

DCCC didn’t waste any time reaching out to the historic donor base. I got a call tonight from a guy with a wicked Bahstan accent. I told both DCCC and DSCC that my checkbook was closed until there was a health care bill ready for the President’s signature. There is, so I gave.

@r€nato:
Are you kidding? You haven’t heard of the gypsy mimes of West Virginia? Traveling bands of mimes that accost travelers and pretend to pick their pockets, feign armed robberies and practice other acts of general thievery?
JC has every right to be on his toes about this silent threat!

I can’t stand clowns. Ever since I read It, I keep waiting for them to get all evil with pointy teeth.
Pennywise was some scary shit.

I like the Tautology Club adaptation of that famous line.

Hahahahaha, love the title ref. Good fun and well done on the part of the mimes :)

@Warren Terra: that’s good

They were also assaulted by the bodyguards of this guy, who got them in headlocks (women too) then complained that they got makeup on them (the bodyguards) while they stabbed ballons with knives.
The SWAT team sent the Beck (!) people away, but one bodyguard was reportedly arrested for assault. Yeah, haha mimes so amusing. It got nasty.

Rachel just did an amazing difference between Reps and Dems bit it was over at :54 after the hour. Please front page it soon, so it can reach more people.
Jason Bylinowski
Yeah….obviously I’m not really for a group like NumbersUSA (though to be honest I don’t really have a dog in this immigration fight at all) but just as importantly I really don’t go for that sort of aggressive, caustic activism. It’s just tacky and begins a process of escalation that just really never seems to conclude in any sort of responsible way. Not that I am totally against violent protest. I guess what I am against is mixed signals.
Callope Jane
Damn damn damn. F*ck the t-baggers. F*ck all the republicans members of Congress who cheer those advocating violence. Just on Rachel — not only was Slaughter’s office vandalized, but Giffords (AZ-8, my congresswoman) Tucson office was hit. The glass window/door (not sure; perhaps both but the picture wasn’t clear) was shattered, perhaps with a pellet gun, they’re not sure.
Cowards did this in the dead of night but on the plus side no one was hurt (although her staffers stay late, so this was lucky). F*ck them. And way to go, anonymous f*ckwits; way to get me to volunteer even more than I already was. Thanks for including her on your Act Blue list.

I’m a fan of Lord Vetinari’s solution to the mime problem: Throw them in a scorpion pit.

@Callope Jane: remember all those left-wing acts of vigilantism after the Supreme Court awarded the presidency to Bush in 2000?
Yeah, me neither. Just think what they’d have done, had it gone the other way.

The fuck? Everyone feels that way. Shoosh, Opus whacked a mime.

A mime saved 34 miners’ lives in the Poca, WV cave-in of 33.

I’m terribly concerned about all this mime-ism against Mime-Americans.
Jon H
@r€nato: “I’m terribly concerned about all this mime-ism against Mime-Americans.”
Oh what, you want to give them “special rights”? Special “no neck-punching” rights?
r€nato
@Jon H: It’s unnatural. If God had wanted us to mime, he wouldn’t have given us vocal chords.

@Jon H: It’s unnatural. If God had wanted us to mime, he wouldn’t have given us vocal chords.
Sort of like if God had wanted us to play soccer, he wouldn’t have given us hands.
russell
At least it wasn’t the Bread and Puppets folks. And yeah, those whistles are freaking obnoxious.
But there ain’t no need to punch anyone in the neck.
And seriously, putting mimes in headlocks while stabbing their balloons? Next time maybe they should send the ninja mimes.

I like mimes, that’s all I have to say about it.

Come on, West Virginia is well known for its coal mimes.
And this guy’s complaint: “Help, the mimes are trying to silence me!” Oy vey.

Q. How do you bury a dead mime?
A. in a glass box?
Ba da bum. Sorry, truly sorry.
Batocchio
Eh, I’m not that into the white face mime stuff, but it’s always been fashionable to hate on mimes – even by actors who use mime techniques and should know better. Ever see Marcel Marceau’s weird zombie film Shanks?

@r€nato: There were a few in San Francisco. e.g.

And naturally, http://vivirlatino.com/2009/01/29/bush-street-becomes-obama-street.php once that mistake was over.

A mime is a terrible thing to waste.
DH Walker
Over and over and over again, the “reporter” flogs the idea that illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from citizens. This is a hugely popular myth among nativist morons in spite of the fact that there’s no statistical correlation between unemployment rate and size of illegal populations. There probably are arguments to be made about immigration, but anyone who cites jobs as their reason is simply lying. Like this idiot in the video – over, and over and over again.

Want a balloon?
BEEP BEEP Richie! They ALL float down here. When you’re down here with us, you’ll float too!
The only thing more frightening than pennywise the clown is a grinning Dick Cheney
And, you know, the thing about Dick… he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living… until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’.

I can still hear those freaking whistles.
I also love how there was “no free speech” happening… at a rally. People’s inability to understand that right is pretty amazing.

David Bowie was a mime.
I think you can sum up this guy’s message as: I got mime, baby.
