The Teabonics Hall Of Fame — 60 Iconic Misspelled Protest Signs (PHOTOS)

One of the biggest fails of the Tea Party movement has been their epic misspellings on protest signs. We aren’t sure what’s up with that. Are their kids making the signs for them? Are they writing them in haste and can’t take the time to spell correctly or use correct grammar? Either way, it’s hilarious. Here is the Tea Party Protest Sign Hall of Fame.

is mistagged as wrong. It's the one of woman holding a sign "Don't give away my daughters' future". If she has more than one daughter, than that is, I believe, the correct way to write a plural possessive. Other than that one, well Oy vey iz mir.

...the only possessive where you eliminate the 's is Jesus'. Everything else gets 's on the end, even if it already ends in s. So proper spelling for plural possessive would be daughters's.

Of course, this quickly devolves into a debate about who gets to set the rules on "correct" English.

I suspect the majority of them are uneducated dolts with their radios tuned low on the AM dial and their TV tuned to "you know what".
