Dems Are Giving Away Tickets For Obama’s DNC Speech
The DeKalb Democratic Party sent out this message Thursday night.
DO YOU WANT TO GO TO CHARLOTTE AND BE THERE IN PERSON FOR THE PRESIDENTS”S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH?
In Atlanta: Manuel’s Tavern, 602 N Highland Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30307
In Macon: Bibb County Democratic Party, 835 Forsyth St. Suite A, Macon GA 31201
Here’s the rules:
Everyone who is at Manuel’s Tavern or the Bibb County Democratic Party by noon is eligible for two tickets. Arrive early if you want, but it won’t give you a better chance to win. Just be there by 12 noon!
If less than 50 people arrive, everyone will get a pair! If more than 50 folks arrive, we will do a random drawing to determine our winners.
There is no cost involved. We’re not selling the tickets, we’re giving them away.
Since we’re not selling tickets, you can’t sell them either! If you sell your tickets to someone else, they will be deactivated.
For planning purposes, we expect that President Obama will speak at 8pm on Thursday. To insure that you are in your seat for the speech, you should arrive at the stadium that afternoon. There will be strict security at the event.
Your trip to Charlotte to see the President’s historic speech begins tomorrow.
!snip!
Deactivated if you sell them?? How could you sell them? Obviously no one wants them. Trust me. If these tickets could be sold they would have been. This is an administration that was selling the chance to eat a waffle with Obama for 3 bucks.
Oh, by the way, “Here’s the rules.” Really? “Here is the rules.” ??

This could be bad for Obama and, depending on how you look at it, great or funny for Romney. Because, what happens if less (or a LOT less) than 50 people show up? Yeah…rut roh! I’m just speculating because even I know this is just Kabuki; they’ll bus people in to attend so it looks like they’re going to attend. When no one shows up at the speech, they’ll ask Hollyweird for some professional seat holders.

Man I can’t wait until some low echelon DNC gopher hands a couple thousand tickets to Occupy and Code Pinko.

Don’t worry; the local teacher’s unions will bus in enough people to fill the place up.

Dekalb County 3rd world cesspit. I grew up there when it was one of the best places in the country to live. Hank Johnson, Cynthia McKinney and a couple of murderous sheriff coup d’etats later, it’s a smoking crater.
“Your trip to Charlotte to see the President’s historic speech begins tomorrow.”
Because that’s when you’ll have to leave Georgia on the bus which Obama is not paying for if you want to get there by 8:00 Thursday…for planning purposes. And you’d better not get there a day or two earlier if you want to avoid paying for a motel room, Yeah, that’s on you too, suckahs. And bars on the minibar goes without saying.
Forward.

And I bet they will have to show photo ID to get into the venue at the convention…..

Those styrofoam columns are being resculpted into styrofoam people. Should be enough for a couple hundred if they just set limbless torsos on the empty seats. Maybe Biden can supervise DC kindergarteners fingerpainting the dummies into a rainbow of diversity.

Damn! You beat me to the “here is the rules” remark. Okay– to “insure” you are in your seat? How about “ensure”?

Manuel’s Tavern on N. Highland! Boy does that bring back some memories. That’s where I learned to drink beer. There aren’t as many memories as there would have been if beers hadn’t been so cheap. Good times were had there!

Me too! Many a pitcher there. Manuel’s was the first stop on my Bachelor Party itinerary. Stein Club was the second stop. I don’t remember the third…at least that’s what I tell my wife. My dad went to school with Manuel Maloof and met my mom at one of his parties…at least that’s what he told me. I haven’t been to Manuel’s in fifteen years. Kind of afraid to see what’s become of it.

After four years people are getting pretty damned tired of paying for their own destruction. Maybe they can wrap the tickets around cups of coffee and hand them out under bridges to the homeless folks.

Let me be sure I understand the schedule.
The Messiah is expected to speak ‘around’ 8PM – and we all know how prompt he is – but the ticketholders are expected to be in place in the afternoon?
That should be a fun five or six hours. Who’s bringing the beer and pot? Do they know the restrooms aren’t unlocked until 7 PM?

Fur You Are A Genius!You just gave me an idea. I could take the shirt to DNC. With the pic of me, and my new friend. Wearing a Che Breibart Shirt and, carrying it,in my Mao Bag. I bet I could get a Picture with Der Leader Holding it!. They would be so fired up someone showed. I guarantee They wouldn’t even check-out Whose Names are on it!… You know I would never Risk it Like That!!!
