Dirty Hippies!

Wanna scare the majority of America's who aren't following the campaign, those who unthinkingly say that it's time for a Democrat cause dubya and his party screwed it up big time? Just do a sit-in at a Barack Obama campaign office. As suggested by Paul Rosenberg at Open Left a sit-in may be the way to finally get his attention on the FISA debacle.

One possibility is to up the pressure by sitting in at campaign offices this coming Monday. If people are truly serious about there commitment to the rule of law, this is a logical next step. Unlike other lawbreaking, civil disobedience upholds the law by willingly embracing the consequences of its actions in order to challenge injustice.

Can you hear the howling? It's the corporate media screaming "hippies", "radicals", "Chicago" and the use of just about every other imagery intended to make Democrats look immature and silly.

Protesters being dragged from an Obama campaign office, that image would for sure get the great middle's attention. Don't think it could happen? Try it in Maricopa County, almost anywhere in Mississippi or some parts of Georgia and South Carolina and watch as republicans rub their hands in glee. No, no sit-ins please. You want to pressure Obama then get to the super delegates. They have the power to get his attention, not some sit-in that may well obsure the real issues.
