Protest Warriors

No matter where one lies on the political spectrum, most can agree that extremists can be quite a spectacle. For my dollar, I find few things on the Internet more amusing than the videos by Protest Warrior. Their latest mission, Operation Enemy Enlightenment II, was a counter- protest held at the Foothill Technology High School, Ventura, California.

[Correction: This was the Foothill Technology High School chapter of Protest Warrior that was staging the counter-protest.]

According to Protest Warrior, they

[...] showed up on the street to initiate dialog with some protesters, and provoked the usual litany of angry cliches and torn signs.

Portions of this confrontation are found here, which include someone referring to the U.S. Secretary of State as "Condoleezza 'Oil Tanker' Rice." This is the second video of theirs that I have seen where a protester uses Cuba as an example of how a government should be run. The Protest Warriors try to engage them in conversation between their stifled laughs. Hilarious...and a little scary at the same time.

Keep up the good work, Protest Warrior, and be careful out there.

Although Atlas Blogged does not necessarily subscribe to this theory, the two arguing women on this video certainly give us pause for thought regarding The Babe Theory of Political Movements, first postulated by P.J. O'Rourke in his Parliament of Whores book.

We are hoping that the Protest Warrior's Operation Enemy Enlightenment III takes place at Walter Reed. Give us a call.
