Mean Protesters Ruin John Boehner’s Golf Game With Demands For Jobs

by Kirsten Boyd Johnson  

Pretty soon they'll invade your dreams too, John Boehner!We hope that overgrown Orangesicle John Boehner enjoyed the joyful noises of a group of chanting protesters who showed up to his golf tournament in the Republican fortress of Orange County, California, since this is probably something John Boehner had hoped to avoid when he left Washington for a few days. Funny, isn’t it, how those people seem to be everywhere? AND THEY’RE GETTING CLOSER: one protester even managed to get inside the golf club to deliver a petition with 26,000 signatures asking Boehner to pass Barack Obama’s jobs bill. Naturally, Boehner fled from the man.

From the LA Times:

Under the guise of having a tee time Monday morning, [Courage Campaign protester Rick Jacobs] was able to get into the golf clubhouse and speak with the Ohio representative and Republican leader.

He said he tapped the speaker on the shoulder. Boehner then turned and smiled until Jacobs said he was actually with the Courage Campaign, at which time Boehner turned and walked away.

Jacobs was trying to hand him an online petition signed by more than 26,000 people that called for Republicans to move the jobs bill forward; however Boehner’s assistants took it.

KEEP THOSE PEASANT GERMS AWAY FROM HIS MAJESTY, FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE. [LA Times via Wonkette super-operative "chascates"]

"Orange County, California,"
Wow, they named a county after Boehner?

The guy calmly tried to present Boehner with a petition? That's not the way to talk to a Congressman; one should storm in armed and angrily screeching insults at him and incoherent rage about health care reform.

This is the problem with these Occupy Wall Street/Obama Mobs. What with their polite tapping on the shoulders and petitions. Don't they know the only way the Republicans will take them seriously is if they adopt revolutionary war dress, wave weapons and racist signs, and shout down politicians when they are speaking to their constituencies? There are proper ways to get your political point of view across, and politeness is not one of them!!!

Tapping on the shoulder with a M4A Assault Rifle would be a polite compromise?

You're right – OWS needs to learn a few things from the Tea Party. If Jacobs had parked his scooter on Boehner's foot, the Speaker wouldn't have been able to walk off like that.

He said he tapped the speaker on the shoulder. Boehner then turned and smiled until Jacobs said he was actually with the Courage Campaign, at which time Boehner turned and walked away.

Well, at least Boehner simply walked away. Unlike, say, Eric Cantor who, after being tapped on the shoulder, would have immediately clutched his pearls, swooned, and screamed that he was being savagely assaulted by a vicious, bloodthirsty mob.

SorosBot October 18, 2011 at 2:55 pm

Or Michele Bachmann, who would have run off to hide then called 911 and order the cops to arrest the shoulder-tapper.

Boehner , while in Japan for some business meetings and a few rounds of golf, arrived in Tokyo a day earlier than expected. Feeling lonely that evening, he employed the services of a beautiful young Japanese girl to be his companion for the evening. Although the Japanese girl spoke very little English and the businessman spoke no Japanese, their passion roared and in the heat of the moment she began yelling "Gama Su!, Gama Su!". Hearing this, the Texan knew he had pleased his female Japanese friend and soon afterwards went to sleep.

The next day while playing golf with Hitler and Netanyahu, one of his Japanese partners holed his shot from 170 yards away! Everyone went crazy and began yelling excitedly in Japanese. Wanting to impress his friends, the Texan joined in and began yelling, "Gama Su! Gama Su!"

Suddenly everyone became quiet. After a moment of silence, Hitler turned to him and asked "Wrong hole? What do you mean wrong hole?"

"He knows he can't go anywhere without the people going with him," said Rick Jacobs, founder of the Courage Campaign, a progressive group. "I hope that even while he's up there, raking in millions in cash, he knows there's people here and everywhere. We're going to make clear that this isn't a funny time anymore. This is a real time. It's time for him to get busy on jobs and not on his golf game."

Completely OT, but is nobody going to cover Limbaugh's "Obama Invades Uganda, Targets Christians" rant?

In addition to lavishly praising the Lord's Resistance Army, a psychotically murderous gang of terrorists who have been killing, mutilating and raping their way across central Africa for about 25 years, he stated, and I quote, that Obama was sending troops to "wipe out Christians in Sudan, Uganda, and…" and went on to wonder if Obama would send troops to Egypt to kill Coptic Christians there.

Direct incitement to violence against the President. Remember when even the mildest criticism of the Commander in Chief was treason?

First I'd heard of the Limbaugh idiocy (OK, this particular instance of ti, obviously). Apparently, Erick, Son of Erick, has been besieged by emails demanding he join Limbaugh in condemning Obama's attacks on these good Christian soldiers; the truly incredible thing is that even Erickson knows they're scum. You heard it here first: there's an insane slur on Obama that Erick Erickssson doesn't believe.

RavenRant October 18, 2011 at 5:25 pm

Yeah, even Sen. Jim Inhofe called him out on the Senate floor. I wonder how long before he'll have to come crawling to Rush to apologize.

Most of the right wing blogs are just ignoring this, but a couple have come out swinging, defending Limbaugh from being taken out of context.

Seriously, what are the laws regarding incitement to violence. I can't see how it could be any more explicit.

GeorgiaBurning October 18, 2011 at 4:57 pm

Bad ratings, or a dead child prostitute in his bed. Then again, a lot of stations would forgive the latter.

RavenRant October 18, 2011 at 5:36 pm

Or a recording of him insulting the CEO of Clear Channel.

After all, Charlie Sheen shot a woman, knocked a women out, hit a woman for refusing sex, held a knife to a woman's throat, threatening to decapitate her, made multiple death threats against multiple women, and he remained "Hollywood's adorable bad boy."

Then he got caught on tape insulting his producer, and NOW he's gone TOO FAR!

GOPCrusher October 18, 2011 at 5:14 pm

Gee, it's been almost a week since it was announced that LBO was sending "advisors" to Africa and Rush is just now getting around to equating it to a War on Xtians?

SorosBot October 18, 2011 at 5:20 pm

He said it Friday, but people are just starting to pick up on it.

And here it is, from the slug's own pit of slime:

RavenRant October 18, 2011 at 6:23 pm

Sorry, I posted before I saw your comment.

BTW, slug is excellent term for him. As is "Leaking sack of toxic medical waste." Slug's a bit more concise.

RavenRant October 18, 2011 at 5:45 pm

No, it was on his Friday show.

But he still has the transcript up, with the headline "Obama invades Uganda, Targets Christians" even though by now he has discovered that literally every word he had said on the subject was bullshit.

One of his producers started to correct him on the air, and he said he'd do his "due diligence" and get back to his audience with the facts.

4 days later, the post is still up, no corrections. Even if it is corrected discreetly somewhere down the line, the wingnuts will still be telling each other, "Obama wants to kill all the Christians!" Forevermore. And no amount of proof will ever dissuade them. Which, of course, was the intent.

BTW, LBO? New nickname for Obama, or typo? (Just curious, not a typo nazi.)

125 grains of lead?

RavenRant October 18, 2011 at 7:03 pm

Don't they prosecute treason anymore? It used to be a capital crime.

A nice, long stretch at luxurious spa 'Club Gitmo' might be poetic justice, on the other hand.

Or airdrop him into an LRA camp, since he's such a fan. Since they're such good Christians, they might even say grace before eating him.

tessiee October 18, 2011 at 11:15 pm

"125 grains of lead?"

Like it would even get all the way through the first fat layer around his heart?
I kid, of course.
Rush doesn't have a heart.

Rotundo_ October 18, 2011 at 8:03 pm

Choking on a sammich, stroking out or a good old fashioned myocardial infarc or something similar should do. A particularly nasty flavor of cancer would work too. Most folks aren't too fussy about the method as much as the results. I would be fine with him slipping off this mortal coil while pumping a dominican boy's ass, just so long as he got dead and stayed there permanently.

RavenRant October 18, 2011 at 8:33 pm

A Republican classic: hogtied and wearing two complete wet suits, including a face mask, diving gloves and slippers, rubberized underwear, and a head mask, dildo exactly where you'd expect it to be.

(Funny, Wonkette's spellchecker doesn't recognize the word "dildo". Who'd of thunk?)

DahBoner October 18, 2011 at 3:50 pm

Also, do all golfers dress like they're in H.M.S. Pinafore?

mrblifil October 18, 2011 at 4:00 pm

Boner's assistants are famous for "taking it."

Dok-cupy Everything October 18, 2011 at 4:10 pm

Why'd they have to give him a fight?
Why can't they just let him be?

owhatever October 18, 2011 at 4:15 pm

Brave Sir Boehner, who slew the infamous chicken of Bristol, wet his pants and ran away.

Chichikovovich October 18, 2011 at 4:19 pm

This has to be just another lie from the lamestream media, because everybody knows that Obama is the only politician who golfs.

meatlofer October 18, 2011 at 4:21 pm

Privately he cried.

ndisang67 October 18, 2011 at 4:25 pm

your hobos….so you finally figured that you need a job? let Boner enjoy some golf…afterall his got a cushy gov't income,, health care and retirement waiting for him…..see ya hippies…

mavenmaven October 18, 2011 at 4:39 pm

"Naturally, Boehner fled from the man. "
White flight!

Slim_Pickins October 18, 2011 at 4:45 pm

Does Speaker Boehner (R-Ohio) represent all of Orange County or just its defense contractors?

Jukesgrrl October 19, 2011 at 2:34 am

You posted late, or the p would rain upon you.

Indiepalin October 18, 2011 at 4:47 pm

Headline of the day (Yahoo):

"Michele Bachmann, Ed Rollins Trade Snipes in the Media"

Been a long time since I've been on a snipe hunt.

Jukesgrrl October 19, 2011 at 2:36 am

A snipe is one of the things that makes up a squirmish.

BlueStateLibel October 18, 2011 at 4:53 pm

The person with the petition should be glad he wasn't dealing with NYPD – he would have got run over with a golf car, punched in the face, and maced in the face – then held for eight hours in a jail without a bathroom, food or water.

Antispandex October 18, 2011 at 5:07 pm

You know, this could look a little elitist, to people who are not real Americans. I mean, how many people have a weekday off to go golfing (who aren't doctors) if they are needed at work? Green fees in O.C. are really high (even in this economy), and you really shouldn't blow off your constituents in an election cycle. However, I was raised there, and I can assure all of you who are feeling bad for our dear speaker, that the number of Fox watching tools who will be there to buck up Mr. Boehner will be suffcient.

Guppy06 October 18, 2011 at 5:49 pm

He's the People's* Speaker.

*Only the "right sort" of people.

schvitzatura October 19, 2011 at 4:11 am

Don't you people have homes? Don't you people have jobs?

Not any more, we're the 99%, John "Elihu" Boehner…

"Tapped him on the shoulder?" Jeebus Tap Dancing Christ! He was at a Golf Club! There had to be actual Golf Clubs handy. He was that close! How about tapping the grifting drunk on the noggin with a six-iron, just for grins?
