My feelings are bittersweet. The love of my life, my 22 year old daughter is graduating from Oregon State University tomorrow. That's the sweet part.
The bitter part is that the commencement speaker is none other than Moochelle 0bama, a woman I politically abhor!
You want more bitter? It's on FATHERS'S DAY!!
Need more bitter?
I have to show up at the venue at 1:30, undergo a TSA type pat-down and then wait until 5:30 for Moochelle to give the Commencement speech, then the diplomas are awarded.
My question: Can I boo or heckle at these type of high-profile FLOTUS events?
BTW, my daughter feels the same way about Moochelle.
HEY HEY HEYYYYYY!!!
ITS FAT MOOOOOOOOCHELLE!!!!!
I totally believe that turd is packing a penis.
Set an example for your daughter: throw tomatoes.
Ask permission of your daughter.
If she responds to the affirmative, yell LIAR at the top of your lungs the first time Moochelle lies. It won’t take long.
I used this approach with our local Democratic congresswoman when Obamacare was brought up in a Town Hall meeting. Over half of the audience joined in. I couldn’t talk for a week.
I would bring a pair of sock puppets. When she speaks, have one puppet explain to the other, as if in sign language, what she is saying. The other puppet can react accordingly, heh, heh, heh. It’s called guerrilla theater, and can be very effective at times. Used socks are a must. Eat something flatulent before you go.
My advice? ‘Let the Wookie win.”
No please don’t! I know how hard it would be to sit in silence but there is a time a place. You see what the reaction was to the reporter who dared to ask the President a question. Don’t give the opposition a chance to say what terrible people we are.
In this case a letter to the editor of your local paper explaining how you felt would be of more value than being seen as an extremist ruining the big day. Report back here with your take on the speech and what people you talked to had to say about the ceremony. Be classy and represent the Right well.
Just think of how we react to a DU type when they act badly, then do the right thing.
You could sell those cheap seat cushions with a belt to hold the to you waist.
On one side it could say thank God your not the TSA. On the other side it could say, whose bright idea was it to invite the angry black b***h.
were is the pic of the old vet with BS protectors on his ears?
I speak from experience. My daughter's Commencement (2004, University of Delaware) was ruined by Joe Biden. His speech was a re-hash of his campaign speech and absolutely too long. About 2/3 into it, he paused... all the audience (full stadium) stood up and clapped as if he was done.
Does OSU have department-level events, where the graduates actually walk across the stage. (this is UD’s modus operandi). Go to that smaller event to celebrate your daughter's success!
The difference being is that a town hall meeting is is the time and place for political dissent. This is a graduation, and the graduating class deserves better. This event isn't about the OP, it isn't about Michelle Obama, it's about the graduates.
You counsel wisely! Rude behavior doesn’t advance anyone’s cause...
If you have to stay away, I am sure your daughter will understand. Maybe go to show support for your daughter who also has to suffer through the sermon by Mother of Our Nation, Wife of Dear Leader.
And when the University alumni association comes asking for money, tell them to sod off, and tell them why.
I wonder if security would allow you to use earplugs? That way you could enjoy the rest of the exercises and shut out Moochelle. My other suggestion would be prayer, naming by name every member of the administration that needs to be removed from office, beginning with Obama and including every senator and congress critter you can think of by name. It’s a great alternative to counting sheep,too.
If you heckle her you might be removed and miss the bestowing of diplomas.
My oldest daughter (age 46) graduated from college this morning. The speakers were mercifully brief, the music had me in tears and diplomas were handed out to 1025 grads, all in two hours flat.
Get an IPOD with headphones. When Michelle gets up to speak, turn it on very deliberately.
Heckle loudly, we’ll listen for you in the audio of her speech.
Raise Cain...
