I declare Operation Rumor Has It a success.
Or at least fun.
Now it’s time for:
OPERATION WE DEMAND
The Premise: This was inspired by the most offensively petulant display of childish foot-stamping and breath-holding ever produced by someone who wasn’t 5 and standing in the checkout lane with one hand on a Snickers bar – this WEtard commercial [hat tip – DamnCat]:
Please note the irony of deriding smokestacks that emit no soot as not being “clean”.
Anyway, if WE can get whatever WE want by simply wishing really hard while glaring peevishly into a camera, why stop with the merely-precluded-by-the-laws-of-physics desire for perpetual motion machines and decreasing entropy?
WE need to demand MORE!
Suggested format:
1) Brief mention of your love of WE.
2) Make some outrageous, yet only MARGINALLY insane (for a WEtard) demand. Try to walk the fine line between enthusiastic and demented, while leaning towards the vaguely plausible.
3) Sign off with some cliche lefty slogan and your hippie alias.
Feel free to leave in a few typos and misspellings, just for flavor.
Sample letter:
Dear WE,
I ***LOVE*** your WE DEMAND commercial! Warming deniers really needed to see what kind of non-violent, non-verbal disapproval they’re in for it they don’t give us what we want!
But I thnk we need to demand more. And this one is brilliant because it’s like judo because we pretend to give them what they want but we’re really getting what WE want. I noticed in the video that there’s no clouds of black smoke coming from the smokestacks. This might make people think that fosil fuels are CLEAN! So let’s demand that that they remove smokestack scrubbers! The only way to make people see the damage we’re doing to our fragile planet is to let the deniers SEE smokestacks belching thick clouds of ash, soot, and sulfury gasses like a man-made volcano.
Let’s see them deny THAT!
By Any Means Necesary

As before, you don’t HAVE to be a member of WE to participate in Operation Rumor Has it, but if you ARE signed up, it puts pressure on them to take you seriously, and there’s nothing more pathetically funny than a conflicted liberal.
After you leave your suggestion with WE, send a copy of it to me at wesistance@gmail.com. If I find your entry to be brief, subtle, and at least moderately amusing, I’ll post it at IMAO so that others may enjoy it also.

Did ya’ll notice that there were many minorities in the ad? I wonder if the Wesistance Challenge worked? Maybe we DO have a bit of influence….bwahahahaha!
“We -the American people-are no longer asking”
Could they be any more pompous!? Since when have the eco-tards ever “asked” for anything? All they’ve ever done is demand, protest, blackmail and sue everyone & their mothers just to get their way while making a tidy profit in the process.
Look at the recent oil drilling fiasco off the Californian coast. No racketeering there!
Essentially, it’s like this: I approach one of you while brandishing a gun. Sure, I could ask for your money at that point, but the gun has pretty much set the tone for our interaction. And during all this, I explain to you that it’s in everyone’s best interest if I free you from the burden of transporting funds & either you hand it over, or I shoot you and take your money anyway.
So, once again the solution to problems in the world apparently involves a girl with an acoustic guitar. Stupid hippies.
Frank and Harvey, the two topics above this one on the home page are loading “blank.”
I received another WEtard email. She wants’ people from all 50 states to help her out.
“That’s why I’m asking We members in all 50 states — from Oklahoma to Ohio, from Minnesota to Mississippi, from New York to North Carolina, and all the rest — to watch this ad and share it with their friends.
This is a common belief of any one in the west, that nimrods think the country stops in the plains states. She doesn’t mention one of the 12 states west of Oklahoma.
An all inclusive example would have been “From Maine to Hawaii, from Florida to Alaska. But I guess she wouldn’t be a Eco nut if she could rationalize normally.
