ACLU obtains "Presidential Advance Manual" -- "rally squads" to drown out protesters

:wink:

Cute.

Right. Two people with bumper stickers is an organized mob. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

In any case, you do realize the difference between a counter-demonstration which stands around showing support for the President, and one specifically organized to drown out protest, don’t you?

Of course it was “planned”, the sticker was already on the car! Obviously, they’d been planing this move to demoralize our troops for some time!

You can’t run a government without propaganda. Unfortunately for Bush, his people just aren’t very good at it.

You can fool some of the people all of the time. Roughly, 30%.

Well, having an Advance Operations Manual of some sort is clearly nothing new: there’s one listed among the Reagan library holdings, for example. I don’t know what’s in it, though, nor whether or how it differs from the Bush team’s version.

Of course you can.

Those should be sufficient.

That has its legitimate place – which is on the campaign trail and nowhere else; and never at government expense.

Yeah, these are the people who got tossed out by a guy impersonating a secret service agent. Did the GOP’s fake agent do any time in the slammer?

Not to worry. Bush has people to keep that stuff on their minds so he doesn’t have to.

Every President has one of these, I’m sure. You can’t just wander into a location without preparation. I’m willing to bet Reagan’s doesn’t have anything about organizing demonstrations to drown out the opposition, though.

And the buck stops where?

At a lower level, of course. We are too busy to deal with bucks.

Well aware of that. It’s the amount of energy they seem to be employing in it that bothers me.

He has people for that.

With the amount of people he has keeping their minds on things so he doesn’t have to, one wonders what exactly he has on his mind.

Heh. Those people have people for that.

I have a feeling that this particular chain of “people having people” ends in a single very tired wage slave.
