Seriously, Loudoun County (Virginia) Republicans - the same folks responsible for the infamous Obama-as-zombie-with-bullet-hole-in-head Halloween graphic - are now putting up graphics of the "Redcoats" (UPDATE: or, possibly, "a close imitation of the uniforms of the US Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps from Fort Myer"; as Loudoun Insider notes, "Yep, that’s what most people will think of when they see redcoated soldiers superimposed over the Constitution, not British Revolutionary War soldiers!" UPDATE #2: Actually, here's the image, "British Drummer Boys in a Reenactment of the Surrender at Yorktown Battlefield, Virginia") - you know, the ones we fought against to achieve our country's independence? Yeah, I know, details details. Heh.
Of course, as "Loudoun Insider" of Too Conservative points out, this IS the Lunatic County Rage Committee after all. It's also an important component part of the "barking-mad Republicans of Virginia". What else is there to say, really?
As if that's not bad enough regarding the "barking-mad Republicans of Virginia," how about this?
That's right, Virginia Republican House of Delegates members earlier today a couple weeks ago "jokingly" (???) yelled "SHOOT HIM" at a progressive, Democratic delegate (Scott Surovell from the Mount Vernon part of Fairfax County). Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Get it? Ha. Yeah, maybe not - ugh.
P.S. In better news, women of Virginia are fighting back against the assault on their reproductive freedom, with a newly-formed Women's Strike Force, "a place where men and women appalled by this intrusive legislation" can work together to put up pro-choice candidates and defeat those who would vote monstrosities like the "personhood" amendment or "trans-vaginal ultrasound" requirements.
P.P.S. Another form of protest throughout history has been music. Along those lines, we now have a new ditty, "Virginia Doesn't Own My Vagina", by Libby Wiebel, a "contemporary folk singer & songwriter in the Washington DC area." Gotta love it.
