I first saw this on Breitbart yesterday afternoon and I love the idea.
‘EASTWOODING’ INSPIRES NATIONAL EMPTY CHAIR DAY ON MONDAY
Clint’s “Empty Chair” skit at the GOP convention last week is resonating throughout the nation. We know that it was effective because the dems are real cranky about it. We also know that it got under Obama’s skin because he tweeted a picture of himself with the caption “This seat is taken”. So… while the “Empty Chair” is still fresh on everyone’s mind, let’s rub it in. Everyone can join in the fun by posting a pic or link of an empty chair for the Empty-Suit-in-Chief. Happy Labor Day… and Merry Empty Chair Day.
OK… I’ll break the ice.
The Obama(-only) campaign
All the other Democrats up for reelection should campaign for Romney and themselves as alternative Democrats
Somebody had a real good observation.
It might even have been funnier if he would have
used an empty suit on a hanger as a prop.
Ahem!

@ huckfunn:
Empty suit, empty chair, both work.
Obama is impossble to underestimate.
@ RIX:
Yessir! If you google “empty chair day” there are lots of goodies out there. Here’s one. Labor Day has been cancelled do to lack of jobs.
‘NATIONAL EMPTY CHAIR DAY’ CLOUDS DNC DAY ONE. Heh.
@ huckfunn:
The worst thing that could have happened to Obama
has happened, he has become an object of mockery &
derision.
You can’t maintain the image of a deity if people are
laughing at you.
The debt clock will go past $16 Trillion tomorrow,
just in time for the Dem convention.
Very bad timing for Barack Hussein.
Some chairs need to be leaning back the way Obama abuses the WH furniture
@ RIX:
I was just thinking that. The GOP campaign should be using scorn and derision at every opportunity. I think it’s great that the DNC Convention opens on Labor Day (a communist/socialist holiday for 100 years) and Empty Chair Day. A perfect convergence.
@ RIX:
If people still vote him in they get what they deserve.

@ Urban Infidel:
Outstanding! Here’s few pics as Americans celebrate National Empty Chair Day across the fruited plain.
This from Michelle Malkin. The empty suit and putter on the empty chair is a nice touch.
@ huckfunn:
@ waldensianspirit:
Mock Obama & diminish him.
That’s how to overcome the media,
people don’t want to vote for a punchline.
Off for a bike ride, see ya later!
there is an empty chair in the front yard of casa del rain
@ RIX:
mock,mock,mock
prezy thin skin will lose his shit
just a shout out to the conservative
union members who vote republican.

Acorn 8, Eric Holder Version
1 Chicago Jesus went unto the Hill of Capitol.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the Capitol, and all the Congress came unto him; and he held forth, and lectured them.
3 And the states and governors brought unto him a woman taken in voter fraud; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in voter fraud, in the very act.
5 Now passage of our law commanded us, that such should be punished: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Chicago Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote an executive order, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without picture ID among you, let him first cast indictment at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote executive orders.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Chicago Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Chicago Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Chicago Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and vote many times more.

@ huckfunn:
Sorry, but most Americans don’t need an idiot like Stephanie Cutter to “walk them through” what life was like four years ago. Unlike the typical Obama supporter, our minds aren’t so clouded by drugs and alcohol that we can’t remember that far back.

I agree with Clint Eastwood, any seat occupied by Obama
is an empty seat.
The Dems decided to go to North Carolina to prove that
they could do well in a Right to Work State.
They could not fill the Speedway for a “family picnic”.

Ol’ empty chair’s got me—it injures my pride
Can’t run on my record of failures I can’t hide.
National debt’s climbin’ to the stratosphere
And at the top of it, there sits an empty chair.

Stimulated nothing but a torrent of bankruptcy

The media here reports that -- as a response to Clint Eastwood -- George Clooney will attend the DNC as a speaker. Really ?
Group says it found 30,000 dead North Carolinians registered to vote
I wonder how many of ‘em will be at Empty Chair Stadium this week.
@ Guggi:
I remeber Clooney on the Tonight Show, just as his
carrer was getting going.
He recounted how his Aunt Rosemary took him in, feeding
and housing him while he tried to break in.
He then proceeded to ridicule her for being “fat”
Nice guy.
@ RIX:
Never liked Clooney. Never found him attractive in any way. He’s Mr. Over Rated, just like his buddy, Ozero.
@ RIX:
unprincipled like his idol Obama.

The dead are an opressed group. They have trouble finding
good jobs & housing. They get very few good acting gigs in
Hollywood, usually being portrayed by living actors.
There are very few elected dead congressmen or Senators

At the very lest they should not have their voting rights
abridged.

STFU!
@ Urban Infidel:
I like to think of myself as pretty objective when it comes to separating “performer” from “performance,” and wholeheartedly agree with you.
Matt Damon, Leo DeCaprio, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr, Tom Hanks -- pretty much his contemporaries -- have all given great performances where I don’t find any of Clooney’s all that memorable.
Someone call Eric Holder!

It’s how their generation has lived their lives.
They’ve never had to work for anything. They’ve gotten trophies for showing up. They’ve been told their whole lives that they’re “special.”
The only thing scarier than having an empty suit like Obama as president is the thought that one day, one of these losers may become president.
Fortunately, I probably won’t live to see it.

Heh. Frankly, I’m sick of the recent (past 2 decades or so) trend of auctioning off naming rights to stadia and halls, just for the advertising dollar. As far as I’m concerned, any public building should be obliged to stick with the name it was built under. If it was built as “Panther Stadium”, let it be so known until the day it falls under the wrecking ball.
This trend is every bit as bad here in Canada, BTW.

If a corporation builds a stadium, they can name it whatever they damn well please, and have my blessing on it.
If they buy a stadium outright, then they are entitled to rename it, as well, but don’t expect me to use the new name if the former was a household word.
@ Alberta Oil Peon:
No argument there. Now, what if they’re paying a big chunk of the upkeep?
@ brookly red:
Well, them and the Russians. The Russians were the engineers, and the Iranians were the pilots. “You! You vit da shovel! Take dat graffel, and pile it over dere.”
@ mfhorn:
Then it should be called “Warthog Stadium, sponsored in part by Acme Corp.” Easy peasy.

It was never called that, though. The Dems just invented a new name for it so they wouldn’t upset their freakshow base by mentioning an ebil bank.
This morning I picked up my niece and her 2 friends from UT to spend Labor Day with us. Guess what? They all brought their laundry. We enjoyed BBQ brisket, sausage, chicken and the fixins. There are now 3 freshman bikinis stretched out beside the pool. Yay Labor Day.
