Four Days’ Hate
By Mitch Berg
One of the things I’m most looking forward to at the convention is going to be mocking the living bejeebers out of “True Blue Minnesota”‘s “huge” jumbotron, “overlooking” downtown Saint Paul.
Tom Swift writing at True North engages “True Blue Minnesota”:
Taking a cue from the cautionary work of George Orwell, Hine and Ballou have succeeded in assembling an authentic representation of a key piece of Orwell’s magnum opus; 1984….no, they are not providing Victory Gin.
Through a front group known as “TrueBlueMinnesota” Hine and Ballou, with help from Ministry of Love perennial favorite Dave Thune, will be whipping up leftist fervor with everyone’s favorite brainwashing technique, yes….”The two minutes hate” is in da house, and in your synapse.
Technology has progressed since 1984.
Today’s leftist pinheads no longer have to endure tedious eye strain while intently peering into a fuzzy image of Goldstein…no indeed. Today’s moonbat demands the finest high quality digital images of the objects of their hatred, flashed before them at the recommended 50 images a second, mind you…and with True Blue’s Jumbotrons, they’ll get what they came for.
Preview of “True Blue’s” activity starts at :25 seconds into this bit here.
I’ve talked with people who’ve seen some of the videos they plan to show. Lame, amateurish, so bad it’s good – all terms I’ve heard so far. We’ll add more at the convention, I’m sure.
I’m so looking forward to going all MST3K on them.

That Goldstein dude is nasty. I wonder what he said to piss so many people off? It was kinda hard to hear. X

BB is watching, buddy.

I have the audacity of hope. I got the hope, hope, hope, hope, down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart. Where? Down in my heart.
I am the one I’ve been waiting for.

The audacity of hate?

Perhaps True Blue Minnesota should name their giant screen the “Paul Wellstone Memorial Super Jumbotron.”

The hate-o-tron!

Do they have a Seeth-o-Meter?

Everyone uses that “1984” screengrab; it’s a pity it’s not accompanied by the national anthem of Oceania, which is one of the most beautiful pieces in movie soundtrack history. Which makes it all the more disturbing, I guess. It’s really a remarkable movie.

Drove up Cedar Ave in S Mpls tonight. The law office that does work for illegal aliens has a big sign on the side of their building, advertising a protest against the Republicans. That ought to get regular Americans to vote for Barry.

Did the ad show Cheney clubbing a baby seal to death with one hand while he strangled a dark skinned infant — wearing a sash with the word “HOPE” written on it — with the other?
That’s as high as their level of discourse seems to get these days.

[…] bit of trivia – at the 2008 Republican National Convention in Saint Paul, Democrats tried to capture the magic of the scene from the movie. Didn’t […]
