I understand exactly why people do it...however it makes us look childish, silly and stupid to the other side.

Why can't we rise above it? The lefty peaceniks stooped to such resorts in their protests of the war. I think we can get our point across far better if we don't stoop to such things.

Notice the condescending way they only point to the fact that the guy is in a devil suit??? They don't even cover the message because they don't have to...if they can make us appear "silly", no one cares what we have to say anyhow.

This article appeared in the Washington Times today on page 4. It is accompanied by a photo of the guy in the devil costume and clearly shows his sign: HILLARY, NO PARDON ON OUR DEAL! The message was hard to miss.

The DC Chapter protest garnered the first five paragraphs of the article and one of the last three paragraphs where the devil's other message was reported: I SOLD MY SOUL TO HILLARY. We got our points across.

The protesting left used to own the streets and the use of street theatre tactics. We have been using costumes, wit, sarcasm, chants, facts, and spirited debates effectively since 1998. When those on the left can't fight the facts and win debates, they always fall back on insults, curses, hand gestures and the politics of personal destruction against their perceived enemies or opponents.

I don't believe those on the left really think we look silly or stupid; I do believe that they are furious that we are using their tactics to such advantage against them while being effective and having a great deal of fun at the same time.

Yo, Cherry: stop worrying so much about what 'the other side' thinks, and start considering the way you're dismaying our side. You're dead wrong, anyway: devil suits and high-vis protests provide the media hooks we need.
