EXCLUSIVE: Rejected Town Hall Rally Posters

Lobbyist and special interest groups have spent a fortune packing health care town halls with paid stooges and Republican Party operatives. But manufacturing a grassroots movement isn't easy. Like any high-dollar ad campaign, some of the creative just isn't up to snuff. In a Pinko/HuffPo exclusive, a disgruntled advertising intern has leaked us internal FreedomWorks/RNC strategy memos. Here are a few rejected rally posters that didn't make the cut:

The thing that ticks me off the most about people being paid to scream and shout at a town hall meeting, is that the lobbyists are not sharing the jobs with those who need them the most. If more of those (allegedly) paid to protest the proposed health care system were people who desperately needed the money to pay for their own health insurance, it would actually do something to solve the health care crisis, instead of making it worse. Why should only the wives and friends of Republican big wigs get all the choice jobs protesting against health care? I say we contact our legislators, and demand that they pass a law, that any future fake protesters are covered by equal employment gaurantees.

Toebuggers are not adept at using sarcastic ridicule.
The distraction of changing their Depends, interferes with the process of intelligent creativity.
And that burning and itching that started last November, needs a more potent remedy than promiscuous use of Tucks Medicated Pads.

Don't you get that this is a sarcastic parody?
Americans, where are your higher faculties of discernment when it comes to "irony" and "sarcasm"?

They are too thoughtful to be actual products from real town hallers.
