I think she was saying that the protesters against Gore were dressed up and staged that way and said that was the last time she saw people dressed up like this until these protests, and that’s why she knows these are staged too.

I heard today, the MSM said we were dressed in Brooks Brothers

Then go to town halls and protests in a t-shirt and jeans.....with either a tie or a tiara! ;-)

I see your point. But I have also seen many of the videos of the Town Hall mtgs. And there are plenty of people in casual work clothes, like farmers and such. But, whatever I think we can both agree her comment was stupid. And confusing. And yet, a good old try to get everyone in fancy duds as proposed by FReeper, RushIsMyTeddyBear, would be a good idea. Or maybe we should all wear “boxer” shorts over our clothes, LOL.

Here’s the description by the poster of the video...

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” Barbara Boxer comments on the attire of the health care protesters, saying she hasn’t seen such “well-dressed” people since the 2000 Florida recount.

Barbara Boxer is used to be greeted by K Street lobbyists who wear foreign tailored suits and pay for the champaign lunches she goes to while receiving campaign donations. Regular Americans, her constituents, waiting to talk to her about policy are shown the door and told they are an unruly mob.

She is sure Omama will make our elections into Venezuela sham elections so no regular people bother her in the future.

She needs to get over herself. What is with her always wanting “respect.”

How undignified of her to treat her employers like that. My word for her is unprintable and my thoughts are worse.

God forgive me.

Where on these nice clothes do people put their SWASTIKAS like Pelosi said? Can’t these liars get their story straight?

Good one. Actually Great idea too. Guess it will be said by the media that we are an unruly but creative and well-dressed bunch, LOL

You wrote, “Or maybe we should all wear “boxer” shorts over our clothes, LOL.”

That’s it, very brilliant move. There would be no mistaking the message. Also there is no way the photos both still and video would not make ALL voters.

Boxer shorts over our outer clothes....and a few clever signs to point this out....The modern day “Boxer Rebellion”?
Mahalo everyone, and keep this thing going.

Thanks. I think whatever we do, we can only add to the attention about the clothing comment. I would love to see everyone in fancy things, suits, evening wear, etc. with boxer shorts on top, or pinned or, or whatever. You are right, would really get the message out...

First we were TEA bag protesters, now Boxer Rebels. LOL What fun.
