The Great American Shoutout might be just the political statement you're looking for!

I haven't decided whether I'd like to be on the ground protesting or hollering out my window, but I'll be doing one or the other fa sho.

of course, they're encouraging regionalisms, so you can come up with whatever would be appropriate for the UK

"fuggedaboudit"?

STAWP IT! [/boston shoutout]

I haven't heard a Florida one yet, so I will take a shot:

"Eat **** and die!" Yes, that works.

Don't worry, the NYPD and others will be around to handle these thugs.

Notice how the DNC went pretty smooth, as far as protesters were concerned. I guarantee the extreme, wacko, dirty leftists, anarchists and other people who don't look like they have been in contact with a bar of soap for weeks, will be disruptive thugs and act like violent morons at the RNC.

How many thugs will be arrested ? I predict hundreds, at least.

As for myself, I'll either be out of town, or I'll be taking pix of dumb anarchists getting beaten up, I'm not sure yet.

I didn't realize yelling out the window was something that could get you arrested.

I don't plan to be in NYC next week. They have a right to protest, but it should be done legally.

I was thinking of starting a riot and getting myself arrested after hand cuffing myself to doors of the convention, but then I decided just to stay home and watch reruns of The Simpsons instead.

I'm going to do something that's actually useful... like working.

Or trying to, as long as all you hippie liberals don't get in my way or delay the subways...

I must've been looking into my crystal ball when I wrote that. Not to honk my own horn or anything, but looks like I was pretty much on the money. On the other hand, it doesn't take a fortune teller to predict what violent leftie protesters will act like.

Yes those hundreds really were all the cops could get to. In reality all 500,000 were violent thugs.
