Thought the birther/deather/teabagger crowd couldn't get any crazier?
Guess again.
Call it the Pizza Protest.The fun continued on Facebook, as Mica "I hate my country" Sims created an event for the Pizza Idiocy. After getting swarmed with comments teling them how stupid they were, along with links to the text of the speech and Laura Bush condemning people for villifying Obama, she took it down. (Oh, and if you want more proof that Sims hates her country, check out her new business: a "non-alcoholic sports bar". That is simply UN-AMERICAN)
A Lexington woman has established a Facebook group urging parents who are either keeping their children out of school today or pulling them out before a scheduled TV speech by President Barack Obama to join her for lunch at Gattitown on Nicholasville Road.
The event, listed at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=125720529577, is being promoted by Lexington businesswoman Mica Sims as a chance for parents who object to the Obama school speech to have lunch and socialize.
The lunch is at noon, when Obama is scheduled to make his televised speech. Fayette county schools spokeswoman Lisa Deffendall said that since the speech will only be 15 minutes and the school district is providing an alternate activity for students, being absent from school for the whole day will be considered an unexcused absence.
But an hour later, she made a new one. Fortunately enough, I got some screengrabs of it before she closed it again. Check out the attendees... David Adams, campaign manager for US Senate candidate Rand Paul, confirmed as attending. I wonder if the Gattitown employees should wear "body armor"?
Check out the screengrabs below of their insanity, as well as some great comments left by folks pointing out how mind-numbingly stupid they are.

Way to go on the screencaps, Joe.
This has to be the most cracker thing I've ever seen in my life.
people are more worried about the inspiring things he will say as apposed to what the gangs and violence in school the kids see every day...are you serious, our kids go through more on a day to day basis...then any 15 minute speech can do...come on people...let him have his 15 minutes...
Kentucky.com changed the link -- it's now at http://www.kentucky.com/news/local/story/925723.html
i cannot believe that these "pro-american" people call themselves patriots... when they don't honor the president. while i may not have liked our previous president, i would have never pulled my children out of school because he was going to make a speech... i love this ignorant fools who want nothing more than to show their ignorance to a national tv audience. please go ahead, it will make great youtube videos, the girl wearing a clown mask and hitting her head on the tv is getting kind of old (only kind of), so please, make a fool of yourself if you haven't already....
This is a bit silly of these people. As a KY conservative myself, I'm pretty pleased with Obama's school speech. It's one of his best, in my opinion. Responsibility and discipline? Tenacious commitment to study and practice? Circumstances as no excuse for poor performance? You'd practically think Russell Kirk wrote it.
Now, I understand some people aren't so much displeased with the speech as with the suggested study material that goes along with it. Fair enough.
One nitpick: the (crazy) birthers really are a somewhat different demographic from the tea party people, and confusing them will hinder your strategy in the long run. (In the same way that understanding the differences between Sunni, Shiite, Salafism, Wahhabism, etc helps us in our relations with them.)
And then there's the town hall crowds, which are sorta an offshoot of the tea party movement, but includes substantial numbers of retirees, who weren't really showing up at the tea parties.
I am somewhat surprised that she didn't pick "Chucky Cheese" so there was somebody else to tend the children!
This is Obamaphobia at its most inane. Talk about out to lunch1
nice work on the screen grabs.
Excellent surveillance!
So Obama going into my preschoolers class and informing her that school is an option is a well thought out piece of work? You guys are about as bright as Obama.
The TEA Parties were not started by your typical NeoCons (though Fox has tried to hijack the movement for sure). These are a different group of Republicans that are more liberty minded. They are not the ones that claim moral superiority and want to micromanage your social life (as you appear to be doing to some of them.) They are not the war mongers (I am talking about those that started this movement) They just know that the US Department of Education, no child left behind, and presidential speeches to preschoolers should not exist. They understand that many tasks currently handled at the National level are supposed to be at the state level.
These are also the guys that predicted the economic collapse while the Democrats and older NeoCon Republicans brought on the mess. oh yes, what a bunch of crazy people. Not crazy, but I bet they do feel a bit like Noah.
do they have names?
ooo! I did not know that Obama said school was an option. You are smarter than me. I must follow your lead.
