In times of great peril even the pluckiest band of patriotic keyboard commandos need to call in some reinforcements. Erick Erickson goes up on the roof and turns on the Wolverines! Signal.
Today, Mitch McConnell is going to address the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting. According to Roll Call, in his speech McConnell intends to outline a “post partisan path” to leadership that “could also provide a rallying cry for old-line Republicans to reassert their authority within the party” — the same old guard that supported the Bridge to Nowhere and capitulated repeated to President Clinton when he was in office.
Already, McConnell has been favorably quoting Bob Dole on the need to compromise with the Democrats.
So here’s what we need to do. I’ve said he lost his testicles and is now spreading a cancer of capitulation throughout the Senate Republican Conference. We need to send Mitch some balls.
Seriously.
We’re teaming up with the Don’t Go Movement to do just that. Go here and send Mitch some balls.
Oh Sweet Kevlar Jesus! Not the #Don’t Go Movement! Those guys are like rabid wolfbears who show no man pity as they roam the countryside devouring their enemies and leaving behind only blood and ash and an eerie silence broken occasionally by the call of a carrion crow—
Okay. Maybe not.
The #dontgo Movement is about far more than just opinions and rants. We’re about revolutionary action, and we intend to make waves in local government all across this great country. But to do this, we need to develop a network of volunteers and activists who can fill roles and make it happen.
We have no money, we have no huge donors, and we have no huge organization pulling strings to help us. Instead, we’re just a group of free-market junkies who see the vital need to move and move now. If you’re tired of listening to people who just talk the talk, and you actually want to walk the walk, please read on to find out how you can take actual action.
We need help in the area of marketing, tech support, SEO, organizing, strategy, graphic design, social media, talk radio, media relations, public relations, investigative reporting, blogging, newsletter marketing, regional coordinators, state coordinators, state site editors and a chief editor. If you’re interested in any of these positions and would like to know more… please read on.
NOTE: These positions will ensure credit for you, your online profile, your resume, and your blog/website. We will work in every way possible to ensure that the hard work of our team does not go unnoticed.
Well, since they’re "all about revolutionary action", you’ll probably also get, like, a cool beret with a patch featuring an American eagle clutching an American flag in one claw and a Zagnut in the other. Awesome.
And for those who neglected (or were too pussy) to click on Supreme Grand Field Marshal In Excelsis Deo (and me wanna go home) Erickson’s balls link, they are sending Mitch McConnell rubber balls. Obviously this is an escalation from the earlier Great Silly Putty Border Skirmish.
If cooler heads don’t prevail, we could face all-out war. One day it’s rubber balls, then someone breaks out the Silly String, and then the next thing you know, someone goes nuclear.
Madness, I tell you. Madness….

“Supreme Grand Field Marshal In Excelsis Deo (and me wanna go home)”
sublime, Monsieur Bogg … truly sublime.
Jeziz gawd, are these people going to start blowing up mailboxes & doing donuts on the lawns of their enemies if their vicious mailing campaigns don’t have the hoped-for effect?
And doesn’t Sen. Mitch’s beard Elaine C. have his gonads locked away somewhere?
I mean, talking about the alleged closet case’s “junk” might not be the best course. And will they escalate to “He’s a homo, that’s why he’s weak?”
One can only hope.
Golly, maybe they would let me sign up to be a state site editor!
That would be cool! I can make sure the
traitorserm, republicans have the latest tools available to forget that it was the conservative ideology that has destroyed our country!Maybe I could organize a cyst-drainage drive! We can send cans of pilonidal cyst drainage to our Republican representatives, to remind them to follow Rush’s marching orders!
This is gonna be cool!
Not that I’m bitter about what they did to the US and the rest of the world for eight years, but I hope they send each other anthrax.
Just another late night at TBogg’s place.
Super Soaker, bah.
What you really want is one of these bad boys.
Hmmmmm…..When they were talking about balls I thought they meant these

God, this is exciting! I only just got my plastic army men deployed for that Silly Putty battle, and here are new orders already! I hope we have time for lots of war before my mom calls me in for dinner.
It is pretty neat, though, how they learned to type while holding swagger sticks and wearing monacles. However, I’m not too impressed with the jodhpur pajamas with footies.
Somehow I don’t think McConnell will be overwhelmed by the all bluster no action brigade…
The world trembles in awe struck wonder at the latest move by the group that placed twenty-three (They dropped one on the way to the bus) coffee mugs on Sarah Palin’s own personal campaign plane.
You go to war with the kid toys you have, not the kid toys you want…
Tragic, really…
They’ve got this shit all sorted, eh? I mean apart from minor details needing help “in the area of marketing, tech support, SEO, organizing, strategy, graphic design, social media, talk radio, media relations, public relations, investigative reporting, blogging, newsletter marketing, regional coordinators, state coordinators, state site editors and a chief editor.” , they’re totally on top of this revolutionary shizzle. Eat your heart out, Che, this is how it’s done by the real pros.
Yep, #DontGo is clearly the right partner-in-crime for Erick and the 88th Paralyzed Division of the Keyboard Commandos™. I mean, lookit how successful they were with their first strike at the soft underbelly of the GOP in Congress: they so totally got them to stay for the summer break (not) and force Nancy Pelosi to personally go drill in Alaska (not). Teh awesome fighting force!
Yeah, those were real Weapons of Mass Turbation for the diehard wingnuts.
I thought “Don’t Go” would be some twisted plea for Shrub to stay on. But it’s what? a lame play on “Move On”?
The ”Don’t Go Movement”?
Sounds like a bunch of constipated assholes.
If they send Mitch a pair of balls, he will just put them in his mouth.
They’re free-market junkies with no money. Hmm. Is that an admission? Sounds like this particular addiction ain’t working out for them.
People’s Front of No Idea is more like it.
If they were sending some truck nuts, at least the lameness of this stunt would be seasoned with a little rudeness. But Jesus — rubber bouncy balls? Pathetic.
The ”Don’t Go Movement”?
I think it has something to do with this.
A day will come when a
cannonbouncy ball will be exhibited in museums, just asinstruments of torturesilly putty eggs are now, and the people will be astonished that such a thing could have been. ~Victor HugoAnd Tbogg, I can’t believe you used that picture of Michael Dukakis. It brings back bad memories.
I think the ultimate weapon would be this mysteriously short-lived toy.
It might be misunderstood, tho.
…wait, I guess they do still sell the Oozinator. I thought it was, um, yanked.
These guys are almost as frightening as the Fake Purse Ninjas…
can we outflank them by sending mitch thousands of tbogg tea bags? he can drag them across his face.
How much do you want to bet that Red State Trike Force™ members were regularly pegged in gym class by the very balls they want to send to McShameless?
They must have reeled in enough rubes with the Silly-Putty scam to make a regular go of this. I’ll bet that the Red State nabobs are lighting their Hav-A-Tampas with Zimbabwean trillion dollar bills this weekend!
Cry Havoc! And slip the flaming bags of pooh of war!
Can I haz me one of those tanks?
Oh no! What will Mitch do when his secretary throws 7 rubber balls in the trash?
Also, what capitulation during the Clinton years was he talking about? I seem to remember them derailing a health care initiative and wasting millions of taxpayer dollars investing travelgate, whitewater, etc., culminating in the ultimate act of capitulation, an attempted impeachment over a beej.

They forgot personal assistant, needed to help them find and clean their own ass.

It was suggested to them that they start at their ankles and work North but, red-blooded conservatives that they are, they fucked that up too.
I love these guys. Wonder why they didn’t specify a color. I vote for yellow.
Do right wingers have a thing for scrotums? Balls this and balls that, Hillary’s got big balls, give them some balls, where’d he leave his balls, dingly dangly got-danged balls.
The Freudian implications are significant, and are more than just a cigar.
