War Protesters Invoke Lucifer for Help

War protests (or protests of any kind) are a tricky thing. The majority of the time they seems like a waste to me. Accomplishing little but delaying people who have nothing to do with your cause. I mean, sure, "awareness" is nice and I'm not saying they're entirely useless but it seems like there are better ways to change something.

The only time it seems totally stupid is when, as is often the case in Los Angeles, the group involved is having trouble breaking a double digit turnout. A good rule of thumb is, if you don't have enough people to throw a successful dinner party, you don't have enough people to change the world. I'm talking to you seven dummies holding filthy, bent-up signs on Vine and Sunset.

It seems
Code Pink are headed in this direction, and anxious to turn things around.
The women's anti-war group has told ralliers to come equipped with spells and pointy hats Friday for "witches, crones and sirens" day, the last of the group's weeklong homage to Mother's Day
Ahh... nothing says take me seriously regarding this serious issue like dressing up as a fictional character. Hats, check. Spells, um, what?

And what does a siren costume involve? Protesting from an alley, half a mile away, and then disappearing when the target comes over to investigate? At which point, they get trapped under a dumpster?

"Women are coming to cast spells and do rituals and to impart wisdom to figure out how we're going to end war," Zanne Sam Joi of Bay Area Code Pink told FOXNews.com.
Thinking a protest at this late hour will end the war, or thinking magic spells work, what's the more ridiculous assumption here?

It's close, but I'm going with "believing in magic."

The group frequently announces bizarre theme weeks in front of the office, but their numbers have been dwindling and the events get little media attention.

Now, after three months of continual protest, their actions barely capture the attention of even the Marines at the recruiting center.

Capt. John Paul Wheatcroft said he's unfazed by Code Pink's antics.

"They're always in pink and wear funny things, half-shaved heads, one side with hair and the other one bald, yeah, I'm pretty much used to anything," he told FOXNews.com.
Not to get sidetracked but, a half-shaved head and some hair dye means you're "used to anything"? How does that differentiate someone from any other protest group... or group... or person?

Back to the point.

A few women stood outside the recruiting center Friday with signs that read "Peace" and "Warmongers — Eating Our Children for Profit." Many wore pink T-shirts.
Part of me wishes they'd left out the quotes and the sign read: "Peace and Warmongers — Eating Our Children for Profit."

Members of the pro-troops group Move Forward America came armed with packages of salt, which they spread around the recruiting station to keep the Marines safe from spells. The group's Web site implored members to bring brooms to "mock the anti-American witches of Code Pink."
I see, so, you're crazy, too? Fantastic! Of course, yes, bring salt, that should do the trick. I mean, come on EVERYONE KNOWS HEMLOCK AND WOLFSBANE ARE THE ONLY THING THAT WILL KEEP YOU SAFE FROM SPELLS! Duh.

Sigh... yes, the world's lamest wizard's duel has just transpired. Lamer than David Blaine and Chris Angel slap-fighting each other in a half-full kiddie pool.

What could you possibly add to make this an even bigger clusterfuck?

Code Pink isn't the only group that has seen numbers drop amid rallying around the Marine recruiting center.

Kimberly Wagner, Berkeley College Republicans activism chair, who is dating a Marine, said her group has been trying to keep up a presence outside the center since Feb. 13, when Code Pink's parking permit went into effect.
College Republicans!

The college Republicans are fighting to acquire the same parking permits that Code Pink has. A resolution to grant the group an equal permit will be entered and voted upon in the May 20 council meeting
Yeah well, space is limited and brooms take up way less space than cars, stupid. Plus, it's much more environmentally sound. Any environmentalist will tell you, a flying broom is like five times better than a Prius.

And why not end things on an ironic note.

ut if events this week are an attempt by anti-war protesters to remarket their cause, the Marine recruiters in Berkeley tell FOXNews.com that Code Pink's presence outside their office has helped — not hindered — their mission.

"Ironically, it's actually helped us by putting our name out. We're now well-known. And people know who we are, and where we are, and they come in to talk to us about enlisting. They've gotten us the publicity that we could've never afforded to pay for ourselves," Wheatcroft told FOXNews.com.

"Just in the last three weeks, 10 people came in looking to apply, looking to become Marine officers, and that's much higher than normal," he said.
Maybe magic does work...




TheCoolerKing will take a strong length off steel and solid armor over magic any day...
