Jon Stewart's Liberal Purgatory

I spotted my first Christine O'Donnell witch on Pennsylvania Avenue, wearing a black pointy hat with pouches dangling from it. "I have some tea bags with dollar signs on them, because corporations are funding the tea bag—the tea partiers," said Julie Gordon, who flew in from Green Bay, Wisconsin, to attend Jon Stewart's Rally to Restore Sanity with her daughter. Running through the crowd was a mock tea party activist in Revolutionary War garb, wielding the movement's iconic "Don't Tread on Me" Gadsden flag and shouting "Ohmygod Snake! Heelp! Scary snake!"

And up ahead was a group of zombies in bloodied Reagan '84 T-shirts and McCain-Palin hats, demanding "the braaaaiins of liberals" and posing for pictures as they lurched through the crowd. "It's a really dangerous moment," explained one of the Reagan zombies, George Federoke, a 20-year-old college student from West Virginia. "Maybe our clever costumes will convince people to vote!"

If the rally's get-up of choice was Ironic Macabre, the entire convergence felt like an afternoon spent in liberal purgatory, where disillusioned Obama supporters could expunge their frustrations with political hysteria and right-wing nuttery, drawing solace (and bemusement) from legions of others who felt similarly. "There's no way to revolt, because I feel it's so corrupt it's going to be really difficult to change," said Gordon. "I'm just getting discouraged and want to get more fired up again—we're all together and not going to them walk all over us."

On Wednesday they'll be crying for their Mothers.

Seems to me Zombie Reagan would do about 100 times better a job than Obumbles could ever hope to do.

Astonishing. I’ll never get use to seeing and hearing ‘unhinged’ people. What would compel anyone to take the time and fix themselves up in makeup blood etc. These people probably weren’t even alive when Reagan was president. I don’t get, I will never get it and I hope these people lose everything they have.

What an absolute disgrace. Think of all the men that have given their lives to protect our country and our freedom. These maggots have no concept; no sense of honor.

Those zombies don't have a chance.

They'll starve to death.

“Right? He sure didn’t spell ‘communist’ correctly.”

I neglected to add a sarcasm tag.

“I’m just amazed how a 20-year old skull of mush would know what kind of president Reagan was.”

They don’t know. They only know what they’ve probably heard or learned from their libtard parents and professors. The easiest thing in the world is to be a liberal when you are still living off of mommy and daddy’s bank account...or government grants and loans for school. Hopefully, things change when these kids enter the real world and have to start providing for themselves.
