Weird, dumbass and hypocritical political statements...

[Coito ergo sum]

Spinning off of another thread, the following post looked to me like it deserved a new thread. Mr. Gawdzilla said it was o.k. that I begin a thread with this:

Oh, the dumbass level.

It occurred to me that there are a lot of things like this - stupid signs - hypocritical signs and messages, etc. - pretty much anything - and a lot of potential humor involved.

this one illustrates what some believe to be the hypocrisy of being against socialized medicine and cap and trade, but in favor of Medicare. Anyone have any other gems?

A friend (well, colleague really) attended the first big tea party rally in DC last summer. Here's one of the pictures he took and posted on Facebook:

OMG! Marxist Usurpers! That's just wrong!

There's a difference between those pictures you dug up and the one my friend photographed at the Tea Party rally.

The first kind is the "rule" at teabagger rallies, the others are the "exceptions" to the rule at liberal protests.

Not only that, but those anti=bush signs could easily have been held by people from all over the world, not just the US.

Do tell me again exactly what the tea partiers are protesting against? Nothing? Everything?

The only black person at the rally was selling hats:








































All is forgiven if it turns out she's only wearing the shirt.

This lady doesn't appear to have got the hang of this placard business ...

I'm surprised not to see a protest march about the Merican education system. About the only common factor in the placards was fucking crap spelling!

I don't believe that distinction is correct. I don't think it's "the rule" for either side.

Also, people have claimed isolated instances of "threats" after the passage of the health reform bill, and tried to attribute that to the whole anti-health reform movement or tea party movement. The environment at tea party protests is overwhelmingly peaceful and there aren't threats on the life of the President. At anti-Bush rallies, comparisons to him as Hitler, signs like these about him getting killed were, actually, fairly common.

Plus, there are many instances of actual violence at left wing rallies.

Don't see a lot of this regarding Obama, do you?

Excessive taxation
Pork and earmarks
Socialism
Bailouts of big business

That kind of stuff.
