We Austinites are partial to butt-related counter-protests. About 20 years ago, the Klan bussed a couple dozen marchers into town for a rally. They were met by hundreds of Austinites, who proceeded to moon them as they solemnly (!?) marched toward the Capitol. Just 'cause I like y'all, here's the Molly Ivins column describing it.

Speech should be countered by more speech, as they say (in the Shire?)

This is why it makes sense to counter Obnoxious Assholes with Farts.
