I live in a small town in Northern Michigan, and the Larouchies set up an "Impeach Obama" booth on main street today, to collect signatures, complete with a Hitler 'stache on a big picture of the Pres. I wanted to go yell at the pukes but I just ignored 'em. Now I think I should've confronted them. Any thoughts? That's just outrageous and it pissed me off to see it.

The only other approach is full-on mocking. Holding up a sign next to the booth saying something like "The smartest guys in the room." or like that.

We have a LaRouchie who has won our primary to run for US Congress twice. This seat is unwinnable by a democrat but it is still painful watching her campaign

(59 posts)The same thing happened to me when visiting Painted Post, New York. They were on the side of the road with the "Impeach Obama" sign along with the Hitler mustache. I didn't realize they were Larouchies, but I did confront them. After a few minutes, I realized that they were just "crazy" and walked away. They were spouting that Obama's health care bill was a secret government plan to kill people. How can you argue with someone who makes such insane statements. I did tell them to take the Obama/Hitler sign down, not that it made any difference, but it did make me feel better.

(20,597 posts)they are displaying their own ugliness in our little town where so many are trying as hard as they can to make it an attractive town. They ignore me.
My SIL tells them they are nuts. One time, one of them replied - "we aren't republicans!"

(83 posts)Maybe I could've just asked them why they were comparing Obama to Charlie Chaplin, then walked away with his little penguin strut, swinging an imaginary cane ...?
