Hey, all you long-haired communist Moral Monday hippie bully jerks, quit being so mean! You’re apparently hurting some Republicans’ feelings with all your nonsense about “civil rights infringement” and “war on the poor.”

Or keep complaining. Sticks and stones may break their bones, but your words will never hurt them.

To lick wounds, the North Carolina’s Republican Party is organizing “Thankful Tuesday,” an opportunity for the GOP and its supporters to “thank our legislators for their efforts on so many major policy changes that were desperately needed in our state after decades of failed Democrat control,” so wrote party Chairman Claude E. Pope Jr. to his supporters last week.

“Come join us to ‘Thank Our Legislators’ for a job well done. It is important for our representatives to hear from us,” Pope wrote.

I wonder if police will extend the same “courtesy” to Thankful’s attendees as they have to Moral Monday’s.

  1. The “Moral” Monday people didn’t behave very morally at all. They should all still be in jail.

  2. The Moral Monday crowd could make the Republicans pay for the mass arrests by each exercising their constitutional right to a trial. I wonder how long 700 trials would tie up the courts.

  3. DLP I think the Moral Monday people should pay back their employers (if they have one) or the state (if they don’t) for the false sick days they’re reporting to attend these rallies or the unemployment benefits they’re collecting while rabble-rousing instead of looking for work as required by law.

  4. To ‘Obama Uber Alles: you say the Moral Monday people should pay back their employers or state for taking the day off? OK, fine, right after McCrory’s young staffers/former campaign workers forfeit the big raises they got from McCrory, for their “talent”. After all, the money for these raises IS coming from us taxpayers, right?
