I don’t think you need to wear suits and it’s really less about signs and costumes then about not giving the mainstream media a sign or costume that they can twist into making conservative protesters look like extremists and freaks, because that’s definitely their mission. They carefully edit the worst freaks out of left-wing protests so that left-wing protesters don’t have to worry about things like nude protesters, anti-semitic signs, death threats, calls for the destruction of America, Truthers, and so on because the media will never show such things to the public. But you have one person yell “kill him” at a Palin rally at the mention of Bill Ayers’ name and the news cycles are dominated for days with stories about how dangerous conservatives are.
Then why worry about it when you admit they are going to do their best to make us look bad anyway. I have never understood why so many people in life worry about what others think about them.
So we are to let the media and our betters dictate how we protest? No thanks. Let freedom ring!
