So, we need YOUR ideas for protest signs - asap.
What do YOU think?
Please post your SIGN IDEAS here!
Parking? Where ever one can find it.LOTS of SAFE parking -- this is near City Hall, and the Courthouse -- if you pay $10, or so.
I prefer NOT to park my McCain-Palin-stickered car on the street, just in case.
LOTS of LAPD will be there. VERY GOOD security.
Your effort is worthwhile and I encourage it — but the goal (realistically) should be to continue the public humiliation of the paper rather than expect that your efforts will get the tape before the election...
In order to credibly attack them — we need to seem ABSOLUTELY REASONABLE — angry and frustrated is ok — but tempered with reasonable arguments —
Ultimate success would be for a dispassionate observer to feel: " Hey, all these guys are asking for is more information and the LAT is stonewalling them -- what are they hiding?" For example — if you get any media coverage you might consider saying:
* If the LAT can't / won't release the tape:
How about releasing just the AUDIO?
How about just releasing a TRANSCRIPT of the audio?
Why not let a select group of 25 impartial journalists see the video and report on it themselves so that they can at least CORROBORATE your newspaper article?
Why should the electorate have to just “take the LAT’s word for it?”
Also — how many people within the LAT have already seen the video? Who are they and can we talk to all of them? If not — why not?
Box them into a corner where they seem to be refusing increasingly reasonable demands — and that will make it clear to EVERYONE what is really going on.
Good luck!
How about a Halloween-theme...
“CENSORSHIP is scary!”
Or pick-up a Paper Skeleton Decoration from a store and Label it:
“Khalidi Friendship” with a sign asking:
“Why is the LA TIMES hiding Obama’s Skeletons?”
But as long as the LAT doesn't release it, and, with the apparent Jew bashing others reportedly engage in, people will undoubtedly assume the worst.
KNot knowing exactly what's on it, releasing could kill the golden goose. So I say "keep on holding it LAT", you're doing Neobama damage everyday that you do!
GOOD LUCK, EVERYONE!!!!! JUST WATCH YOURSELVES, TAKE ALONG A CAMERA AND VIDEO RECORDER, AND DON’T WALK ALONE!!!!
DON’T FALL FOR ANY ‘BULL-BAITING’. STAY COOL! RECORD EVERYTHING!!!!! <3<3<3
I commend you and encourage you — however —Thanks, NYC_Bullmoose!I think that the LA Times has now put themselves in a situation (by claiming the bogus “protecting a source” argument) where they will not release the tape unless a court orders it.
I am FReeping from my laptop, while I wait for my local Staples office supply store to open up -- to pick up more SIGN materials.There is a PRECEDENT for the L.A. Times to release a powerful, politically damaging recording.

Good Luck to you all. Looking forward to an AAR.
When I used to organize these kids of things (in another lifetime I was an active conservative on a VERY left campus)... We would appoint 2-3 people to stand on the perimeter and watch for nutcases as they approached...
This helps to give you a little early warning and a little bit of buffer space and keeps you a little bit safe from a literal or metaphoric “sucker punch.”
Also, it was sometimes helpful to have a designated “arguer, pacifier” — someone who would engage the nutcases reasonably and quietly and AWAY from the main demonstration...
Often the opposition will try to disrupt an event by engaging the leader/spokesperson in some frivolous / time wasting screaming match so that the real message can't be disseminated... just my 2cents — good luck and godspeed!
It’s not likely since even the LA SLimes realize the Obama rule will be very restrictive toward media, to keep them in line with his rule. More likely is the incompetence and sycophancy the Slimes aree trying to hide by not allowing comparison of their fluff piece from last spring and the gross anti-Israel Obamaism reality revealed on the video.
Releasing the tape
doesn’t identify
the source!
The Times has had plenty of time now to doctor the tape. They may release a tape, but not THE tape.
FREE THE TERRORISTS video
Almost.
“damn third-party spellchecker”
I see you went to the Obama School of Blame Someone/Something Else.
Those two words aren't even close, in meaning or spelling, chuckle!
After the protest find the bar nearest to the Slimes. There will be reporters there.
Someone should call the LAT and say “HI, THis is Hillary Clinton - that tape I gave you back in April... Go ahead and show it”
(If it was possible to find out who gave the LAT the tape, I would bet large amounts of money that it was the Clintons - waiting to see if they had a shot to win. Once the Dem primary was out of reach, she wanted it held in order to see what kind of position she could get out of 0bama. Who else would the LAT hold this for?)
