"Our leader" sign has a new addition
I just drove by one on I-4 headed West between Fairbanks on Lee Rd. in Orlando. The billboard now has a big red ribbon over the name "George W. Bush" that reads "UNITED for a better tomorrow". Today is pretty well f**ked up, so "uniting" in BushCo worship won't really help a damn thing, except to allow Clear Channel a bigger slice of the media pie. I guess that's the "better tomorrow" they have in mind. :puke: :eyes:

Sorry I didn't get a photo. At 65 mph, I couldn't grab the camera in time!

2. Why did they translate from the original German?
I'm sure everyone would have understood the message if the billboard had read (in big Gothic type, naturally) "Der Fuehrer."

It would then have the added benefit of being more accurate. Maybe I'll drop Clear Channel an email and suggest that.

6. Because liberals/left-wingers aren't as rabidly criminal as the right is.
It will be eventually. If it was something the rightwing didn't like the sign would be burned down within 24 hours.

They have God on thier side, so criminal activity is excused /sarcasm

8. I was wondering the same thing
they've positioned the signs so they are seen from your left as you're driving (oncoming traffic between you and the sign), so nobody could shoot anything at it (like a paintball) from the road. It's also positioned near a wealthy section of town that has a huge police force. Clear Channel knew what it was doing, it seems.

4. They can try to squash our voices with BS patriotism,
but they're obviously scared. This is either incredible denial in action on their part or they're getting desperate to have their lies believed.

9. Exactly!
:scared:

Can you imagine what the RW would have done had such signs appeared in support of Clinton?

10. The only thing that is left is for Bush
to grow a little mustache.
