The Free Shyt Party can be demonized and beclowned. What is so wrong with a website that says, "Get your free stuff here! Tell us, what do you want us to take from your neighbors and give to you?

Do a video of some nice middle-class Asian guy going off to his engineering job and being mugged by the "Free Shyt Party" and carjacked. Yes, its an extreme image, but imagine the impact of having folks in vests with "IRS" on it in big yellow letters would have. Then have the "IRS" people giving this guy's stuff to someone else and telling him to get his arse back to work so they can take more stuff away from him.
Get that meme out there and hammer it daily and watch what happens.

Might not be able get through to the Obama-phone lady, but a lot of the people out there getting government freebies have been educated in government schools.
They think the government just has a stash, and it needs to be pounded into their heads that the government can only give away to them what they take from someone else.....
