Hey all,
DeadElephant.ORG is producing a new round of bumper-strips, badges, shirts, etc. for the fall campaign, and we’d love to get your ideas for slogans, ideas for topics, and comments on our latest creations. See below.
We especially need slogans on women’s issues, gay marriage, immigration hysteria, swift-boat political tactics, and Iran. Also, obviously, McCain - his dishonesty, his pandering, his age, his lobbyists, and his continuity with Bush.
Bear in mind that DeadElephant.ORG slogans come in a limited number of flavors. All are ironic. All are from the perspective of an ultra-conservative, and argue for even more conservative insanity. Most have the element of cognitive dissonance, as in
“Freedom – to jail anybody”, or
“Jesus Loves “nucular” weapons”. Many have a strong stench of advertising shtick:
“Terrorists – made fresh daily!”. Some are actual quotes from the Right, but recast in the opposite meaning:
“The insurgency is in its last throes”. The most popular are usually very short – less than five words.
Here’s a preview of some of our latest stuff to get you thinking. These are not yet posted on the site. Let us know what you think.
