Thursday, Oct 12: Exorcise Bush!

So George W. Bush - aka Old Scratch, Prince of Darkness, Azazel, Beelzebub, Pretzel Boy - is coming to Chicago for a gala Republican fundraiser at the Chicago Hilton and Towers on Thursday, October 12. Halloween comes early to Chicago.

Scary! Time to frighten the ol' devil right out of town. Let's remind him that Chicagoans oppose the US war in Iraq - and any future attack on Iran, Venezuela or other trumpted-up targets- and are overwhelming pro-civil liberties, pro-union, pro-immigrant rights and pro-choice. Foul demons are no longer welcome in our fair city (Daley take note).

So grab a Halloween costume, bring a prop, banners, signs, puppets, drums and gather on:

Thursday, October 12 - 5:00 PM
Chicago Hilton and Towers
720 S Michigan Ave.

    "I smell sulfur" posters would be a great idea...
     

    Re: Thursday, Oct 12: Exorcise Bush!

    The devil will be, right here!
     

    Re: Thursday, Oct 12: Exorcise Bush!

    Let's not forget the recent attack on habeas corpus that has pushed us back to pre-13th century.

    IMC editors: please remove my last comment, as I had posted it to the wrong article, it should have been a comment to the WCW reportback.

    although it is very interesting to note that why did the WCW organize all their efforts into some arbitrary date like October 5th when they could have been tearing shit up when the criminals themselves are coming to our hometown on the 12th.

    see you there at the hilton

    "see you there at the hilton"

    Nope. See you outside of the Hilton, behind the barricades.

    Re: Thursday, Oct 12: Exorcise Bush!

    Cool! A fun protest! I wish I could be there. Too bad I'm off at school...
     

    weather

    the weather sounds like it will be crappy. they've been saying itll be in the 40s and possibly rainy, so be sure to dress appropriately. maybe somebody could figure out a way to bring some hot cocoa or coffee or tea, or perhaps a tarp?
     

    Re: Thursday, Oct 12: Exorcise Bush!

    Have just learned that Chicago Food Not Bombs is not only endorsing, but will be bringing hot beverages, and perhaps soup -- THANKS FOLKS!!
     

    Re: Thursday, Oct 12: Exorcise Bush!

    It's garlic welcome? it is good for vampires and it might prove effective with foolish demons like G. BOOsh? By the way "I smell of sulfur here" signs is a great idea.
     

    Re: Thursday, Oct 12: Exorcise Bush!

    Yep. Bring lots of garlic. ( if we don't use it -FNB might.) Here's to the Zombie bloc!

    I, Loki COMMAND you to do my bidding…..

    Or the mists of Helgardh (also known by some as Niflheim) will engulf you, just like Freya —The lovely daughter of Niord, King of the Vanir. She and her brother Freyr were sent to Asgard in a treaty which saw Odin’s own brother Hoenir imprisoned by the Vanir for an equal amount of time. All three are now free, and Freya has chosen to stay in Asgard for the time being, while her brother has returned home to Vanaheim, but I digress….

    We must dispose ourselves of the great Satan. The defiler of all that is pure and good. 2006 is our year. . We must grab the Cerberus by the rock sack and squeeze hard. Now is the time for action. Heed me not, and you will be cast into the lake of fire where you will serve out your sentence - paying the debts of boundless tax cuts for the wealthy and tragic foreign policy administered by a non accountable privatized government and military - for all eternity. That's right, I am talking about hell.

    Obey me! OBEY ME!
