1. I expect our congresscritters to vote on a resolution to condemn this.
If it is good enough for MoveOn, it is good enough for the tea baggers.

27. Think back to when a Nation of Islam speaker went on an anti-semitic rant...
...at a public college.

The entire congressional Black Caucus was expected to instantly rise up and loudly condemn this hateful fringe lunkhead. Any hesitation or even tardiness was enough to draw accusations of being an anti-semite themselves. Washington (especially Republicans) was practically snapping their fingers and commanding them to "bark!"

So look at that billboard and ask yourself how many Republicans are going to get up in front of congress and loudly condemn it?

4. Move on is considered liberal.
They won't dare apply the same standards.

5. Reminds me of the "Impeach Earl Warren" billboards that were all over the place
in the sixties. Must admit, I don't think they had Hitler and Marx on them, though.

7. I can say with great confidence...
...that the North Iowa Tea Party collectively have a severe brain disorder if they think that Obama is at all socialist.

8. That's what I don't get. Socialist??? WTF???
If he was a socialist we'd all be a whole lot better off. SHEESH! What a stupid, distasteful sign.

9. This is the Obama version of Bill Clinton was a sexual predator.
The boys meed a meme for the tea-baggers to focus on, otherwise, they're nothing but White Noise.

20. The Republicans doubtless tested everything in focus groups...
...and decided that "Socialist" was the best epithet to use.

They know something we seem completely unable to learn:
It doesn't matter if it's true, it only matters that you say it
LOUDLY and OFTEN.

11. The refusal to educate Americans about socialism may have more to do with it.
Kids all across this country haven't a clue what it means. Neither do their parents. There's an educational blackout on it.

12. If you mean to do something, you shouldn't apologize for it.
What, the words accidentally ended up on this billboard? I will never apologize for my political stances, and I would never ask someone else to apologize for theirs, even if I disagree with them.

24. I'm so broke I can barely pay attention, but
I can scrounge $10 for the cause somehow.
Holy moly.

You know, it's good to see just who your enemy is, but man ... these righters have really flipped their lids - it's always a little unsettling to see their hate broadcast with so much pride and zero conscience.

23. That's *PRECISELY* the sort of billboard we should be putting it up.
But Democrats have no stomach for real, down-and-dirty
politics. They'll all be very relieved when after November they
no longer hold any significant power (and the attendant need
to do something with it).

32. Many of us are tired of "doing it for them".
Edited on Tue Jul-13-10 06:34 PM by Tesha
If we have to "do it for them", they might as well let us *GOVERN*
for them as well instead of demanding our help for each election
and then pissing on us the rest of the biennium.

30. The tea party nuts around here have THREE adjacent billboards
One advertising the date and location of their latest gathering

One that says Obamacare: shovel ready

One that says vote the bums out, or something similar.

I'd love to know who is footing the bill because they've had at least 2 billboards in the same location spouting their idiocy foe monthe now.
