Fun reading, though St. Louis is much better... apparently they have decided not to blog many of the cities they have travelled to... I guess the visits weren't suitable for propaganda purposes.

My favorite quote:

"There is an African Art Festival I decide to hit. I get a fairly positive response, but once again had someone tell me he didn't want the police taking away his assault weapons! What is up in St. Louis?"

 

[TechBrute]

Not that I'd EVER wish ill will on anyone, but if they were assaulted and brutalized I'd be interested to know if they'd rethink their position about women being able to defend themselves.

Personally, I got a laugh out of their comment:

If Pocahantas were alive today, she'd support saving the assault weapons ban.

You'd think they'd back up their statement with some sort of support or logic, but they didn't. They just made a statement.

Someday I'll stop trying to apply logic to an illogical group.

 

[Nickotym]

Funny thing I noticed

They call it Moms on the road, but it is two guys driving the big pink rig.

What do you expect. This group refuses to empower themselves and they are pretty much at the mercy of men.

 

[LAR-15]

They visited my area which is infested with New Age hippies and apparently found some support.

Women can't drive RVs.

 

[Standing Wolf]

They sound dumb enough to vote for that Kerry creature.

 

[Treylis]

Historical Fact: Captain John Smith purchased the land that would become Richmond from the father of Pocahantas.

If Pocahantas were alive today, she'd support saving the assault weapons ban.

BEST QUOTE EVER.

I think if Pocahantas was alive today...she would be clawing frantically at the inside of her coffin.

heeeheeeheeehee!
dats a good one


while the 5 minute RKBA handbook may say
"don't mess with true believers"

When they drive a pink RV into your town,
IMHO, ya gotta at least give go them a tweak.

i can imagine that a counter campaign presenting them with a bag of bovine garden enhanser at every stop might rattle their chains.

 

[ravinraven]

bovine....

....garden enhancer. Now that's great! I do like this THR method of getting away from foul language and noisy ideas. Somewhere I heard of "dirt nap expediter" instead of a deadly weapon.

Let's get a parade of HUMVEES in camo loaded with guys with "assault" guns and follow the pink rig babes around the country. I wish I were rich enuf to launch such an expedition. Imagine the news coverage!

Alas. If 'round the world trips were a dollar a dozen, my money wouldn't get me out of sight.

[Harry Tuttle]

following them in Hummers would require a budget of a few 100 K bucks

4 bucks at the home depot

idiots

We use the time to search for the CD player. We find it, finally, hidden behind the front face of the radio.

And these people are have decided what is an assault weopon?

:banghead: :banghead:

Best from St Louis........

I also had one gentleman tell me he didn't want the police breaking into his house and taking away his assault weapons! I back away slowly.

 

[TechBrute]

I think that their appearance in San Antonio should be greeted with an escort into town.

For those that don't know it, you can drive around in Texas with a long gun in plain view. I wonder how they'd react to an escort of pickups filled with guys with ARs and AKs.

 

[Warren]

How about inviting them to go shooting?

If any accept put them through a standard safety course and then out to the range. Start small and then work up to "assault rifles".

Sure it is a low percentage play but it might just start the mental ball rolling.

Omigod! People who don't want to have their stuff stolen by the government are, like, weird and squinchy and stuff! They're always like "Hey, dude, don't take away my stuff! I've got rights or some junk!" And I'm always, "Omigod, you totally suck!"

 

[Don Gwinn]

I notice they seem to set great store by getting their 30-40 lobbying cards signed. I don't know if those are postcards, or the actual witness forms for the hearings, but if they're the official forms, how cool would it be for the NRA to formally request 4 million forms to mail to their members?

 

[grnzbra]

Lobbying Cards?

What are they? What do they look like? What kind of info do they contain? Can someone post a pic of one?

We're planning a reception for them and it would be kinda fun to pass out our own versions.

 

[F4GIB]

They visited Minneapolis and only Minnesota Pubic Radio gave them a story.

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Congratulations San Antonio!

http://www.millionmommarch.org/halttheassault/blog/?stop=sanantonio

I would have been disappointed if they made it out of Texas without their lies being directly confronted. Also thought it was interesting that their first priority was to "shut up the gun nuts" rather than try to debate them.

 

[TechBrute]

Heads up San Antonio... the above link contains valuable voting info.

[MeekandMild]

They stole the Pepto Bismol colored bus idea from Stephen Elliot's "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert".

 

[DonP]

Ah Priscilla! One of my favorite movies.

That movie made me stop playing ping pong for a couple of months.

It ranks right up there with Army of Darkness and Rocky Horror.

I never connected the pink bus to Priscilla until you brought that up M&M.

Perhaps we should just start referring to their pink bus, baggy sweat pants, blog tour as the "Godzilla Lieing Queen of the Interstate" tour?

Just a thought.

 

[Nightfall]

Oh man, I can't read that stuff. It's giving me the "rage shakes".

 

[grislyatoms]

"The Big Pink Rig... off to save the country this summer."

I laughed out loud at that... One of the best attempts at comedy I have seen yet this summer!
