CPAC will feature a Pelosi piñata and Reid punching bag.

Tomorrow, conservatives from around the country will converge at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which serves as a “showcase of the heart and soul of American conservatism.” The Washington Scene reports that this year’s CPAC will prominently feature a Nancy Pelosi piñata and a Harry Reid punching bag for guests to take turns beating:

pelosisAttendees at a conservative conference in town this week will have the opportunity to whack a pinata of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Conservative Political Action Conference “CPAC” begins Thursday here in D.C. and will feature a party Friday evening where guests will have the opportunity to whack a Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) pinata.

Keri Ann Meslar, director of development for the Greater Washington Sports Alliance and Katherine Kennedy of The Blonde Charity Mafia will be two of three famous D.C. residents taking a turn at the pinata during the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, which starts on Thursday. Meslar will be the guest “whacker” at a CPAC-sponsored party in Georgetown.

Mary Christopher, outreach coordinator for CivicForumPAC, said the Pelosi piñata will be filled with favorite Pelosi sayings, bills and candy. The party hopes to invite two other well-known D.C. residents to smash the piñata first, before others in attendance will be invited to try to take the Speaker down. “We’re hoping to have the females whack the piñata and males try their hand at a Harry Reid punching bag,” Christopher said.

CPAC will kick off tomorrow with a keynote speech by Florida GOP primary gubernatorial candidate Marco Rubio.

    So, the CPAC crowd will finally openly demonstrate that violence is their hallmark calling card. I guess we shouldn’t wait for the MSM to point this out in their coverage of this event. It’s so much easier just taking dictation.

  4. P.D. says:

    Real Classy! Will they burn them in effigy too? Do they oinstly think young people and Independants will find this humorous? Invoking violence is a turn-off to many Americans. What a group of Neanderthals.

    Conservatards/republiscum/teabaggers and their violence.

    How childish.

    Will the conference attendees be wearing their CPAC-issued brown shirts as they watch the bipartisan bonfire aflame?

    @6. that’s why we have prisons. Let’s lock these nutcups up and throw away the key, let the nation forget about them while they rot. Good riddance to bad rubbish.


  9. Zimzone says:

    They considered putting a toilet up so Teaturds could flush the RNC ideas down the drain, but then they realized Republics have NO IDEAS of their own.

    They settled on just a toilet stall you have to tap on to get in…

  11. hellinabucket says:

    So the idea that limiting the women to whacking the pinata and the men hitting th punching bag is somehow not crossing any dignity line is another great example of their twisted logic. “Can’t have a male hitting Pelosi but get on up here Elizabeth Dole, grab a pole and whack away!”


  12. evangenital says:

    Those clowns didn’t make a peep during the Bush/Cheney regime, with its wars, out of control spending and snoopy intrusive government, including that horrible Patriot Act.

    What a bunch of hypocrites…

  15. P.D. says:

    These women are mad. I can’t believe how they will incite violence against another woman. It’s bad enough when that jack-ass put Rep. Shultz name on that target and shot it, then of couse last year when some ‘Tea-Baggers’ burned Pelosi and Reid in effigy. These people need mental help.

    *Wonder why the media views them in a negative light
    *Call progressives hateful and violent.

    Bwa ha ha.

  25. vinylspear, Prostituted by Halliburton says:

    I think the more important question should be: What’s in the pinata?

    What do conservatives put in pinata’s

    Perhaps it’s full of teabags instead of tasty candy.


  26. BrianFL says:

    Can you imagine if a liberal event had attendees using violence on symbols of Republican officials. The mainstream media would be all over it. The Republicans would be hammering those “violent” liberals on every news station.

    She exists, is a reasonable, intelligent WOMAN in charge, and is a Democrat. Case closed.

Pinata’s are just a substitute for hanging Reid and Pelosi in effigy.

    NOT!

    Alternatively, perhaps these people are both profoundly ignorant and profoundy fearful and we must move decisively to improve the nation and their lives, countering their ignorance with information and their fears with competent and immediately effective solutions.

    Or, maybe we should just do what the corporations will like and reward with campaign cash.

    I have to say that my Grandmother was right. Age does offer the advantage of more perspective.

    This “Tea Party Movement” looks almost exactly like the “Patriot Movement.” The Patriot movement got started in the early ’90’s after we had elected another Democratic President.

    Interesting how these “populist movements” always seem to arise when a Democrat is in power but seem to die out and have no voice during Republican administrations.

    We already knew that decency was a foriegn concept to a soulless pile of dogshit like you. Go FCUK yourself

    dummies get their jollies in the most shameful ways.

    CPAC. Now that group represents a real mature group of people, really ready to lead the US in a time of fiscal crisis and mass unemployment.

    I’m not worried about the implications of violence, just the vacuum between the ears of these folks.


  115. pags2 says:

    The voters have rejected the teabaggers. Republicans who embrace the teabaggers will be rejected by independent voters. I would suspect that the average voter is turned off by their blatant racism and stupidity.


  116. regular_joe says:

    Instead of playing pin the tail on the donkey, “conservatives” should try playing a new game. Their childish antics have become tiresome — to everyone with an IQ above room temperature.

    What kind of games? I dunno, something that forces them to think for a change.


  117. MrWombat says:

    Wonder if Michael Steele will wear his clown makeup, and make fun balloon animals for the gang.


  118. glamourdammerung says:

    It always has to be personal with conservatives. And they wonder why reasonable folks do not take them seriously.



  119. Dirty Hippie says:

    Oh, let them have their fun. I’ve got a Mitch McConnell toilet in my house.

    We’re hoping to have the females whack the piñata

    How absurd. It’s presumably dawned on them that the image of a bunch of thick-necked trailor-park brutes thrashing a woman’s effigy with a baseball bat would be terrible PR…so they think they’re gonna sanitize their symbolic violence by keeping the Pelosi pinata women-only. My goodness, what fine taste, what high-minded discretion these ‘baggers have!

    I never really understood what Speaker Pelosi did/does that enrages right wingers.

    She’s a woman in a high political office and she’s not afraid to speak her mind. BTW, rightwing women ( like my mom) are afraid of her too. Then again, my mom also doesn’t like Hilary Clinton ( she thinks that Clinton is too “uppity” and “grating”).

    I also love the “Jesus” sign in the picture…
    Stupid hypocrites must have forgotten about the whole “turn the other cheek” verse! Eaither that or they took it out of their ConservaBible…

    CPAC. Conservatives Practicing Aggressive Childishness.


  124. Eugene Debs sponsered by the Church of the presumptious assumption says:

    dhunt

    Yeah, we know. That was associated with a major political group and conference HOW? Oh thats right it wasnt. That was you just being stupid and tossing out the logical fallacy of the false equvalence. You do know you are an incredibly stupid and pathetic troll dont you?

    Stay classy, teabarfers!


  126. linzloo08 brought to you by Kaiser Permanente says:

    I’ve seen hairballs that looked better than the teabarfers do.
