What is your favorite 2005 inauguration protest sign?

[jackson]

Looking for good ideas for the DC protests......

[Mabus]

1. "Fear more years!"

That's the best I've seen.

[blondeatlast]

6. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Is there a bumper sticker?

[Mabus]

25. I dunno, there should be

The credit for the phrase goes to some unnamed highway blogger. A friend of mine who is part (and the heart) of our local highway blogger group wants to use for our local inauguration protest. I thought it was great and when I saw this subject come up it was the first thing that came to mind.

It does sound like a great bumpersticker though.

Here's to that unknown blogger
:loveya: :beer:

2. Like a good general protest song, or one specifically written

for the inauguration.

I don't know about songs specifically written for the inauguration, but I do have a suggestion if it is the first one. Gil Scott Heron's "Whitey on the Moon."

Whitey on the Moon

A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Whitey's on the moon)
I can't pay no doctor bill.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still.
(while Whitey's on the moon)
The man jus' upped my rent las' night.
('cause Whitey's on the moon)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
I wonder why he's uppi' me?
('cause Whitey's on the moon?)
I wuz already payin' 'im fifty a week.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Taxes takin' my whole damn check,
Junkies makin' me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin' up,
An' as if all that shit wuzn't enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an' arm began to swell.
(but Whitey's on the moon)
Was all that money I made las' year
(for Whitey on the moon?)
How come there ain't no money here?
(Hmm! Whitey's on the moon)
Y'know I jus' 'bout had my fill
(of Whitey on the moon)
I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,
Airmail special
(to Whitey on the moon)

[bryant69]

I just got songs on the brain

But i'm not going to delate my post, even though it doesn't apply.

I do think Whitey on the Moon is a good motto for Bush.

When: Thursday, January 20 2005 @ 10:00 AM PST - 07:00 PM PST
Where: Civic Center San Francisco, CA

We need help to hold the panels; and will take turns reading the names of those killed in Iraq. We will create space for public dialogue on the stolen election, the fake war on terrorism, the reasons behind the war on Afghanistan and Iraq, the 9-11 Cover-up. We will pass out the new Deception Dollars, the new Election Deception Dollars, and strengthen the communications of resistance, of truth, that are needed to strengthen the growing movements for truth, peace, justice, ecological sanity, genuine democracy. Join us. Initiated by the Northern California 9-11 truth Alliance, Veteran's for Peace, in support of the 5-7 PM Rally called for by ANSWER. http://www.communitycurrency.org

13. A little long for a sign, but...

"There is no flag large enough to hide the shame of killing innocent people." - Howard Zinn

I have the bumper sticker (got it on evolvefish.com) and it really gets right to the point for me.

Shorter ones:
I really like the "Mandate? My ASS" ones (you'd have to censor slightly I'm sure - something like "51% is no mandate" might work)

"Draft the Bush Twins first" is a little mean-spirited, but I carry the sign from time to time when I get in the mood.

[StephanieMarie]

14. Support Bush? Hand over your kids.

[GreenPoet64]

15. "Bombing for Democracy is like Fucking for Virginity" n/t

[AndyTiedye]

16. A Picture Of Gee Dubya's New Home...

...if justice ever catches up with him.

The UN Prison at the Peace Palace in the Hague.
Home of convicted war criminals.
pResidential pardons not accepted.

[DaCheat]

19. Too good for the Monkey

Too good for him. If you ask me, he needs to be in his own underfunded prisons, hanging out with Bubba, whose little brother died in Iraq. Then, justice would be served.

[LibDemAlways]

20. I'd like to see him, Cheney, Rummy, Rice, etc.

forced into Abu Gharib poses for a worldwide television audience. Then I'd like to see the whole evil cabal left shackled and gagged on the streets of Fallujah - with no bodyguards.

[kodi]

17. "YOU'RE STILL A BUM!"

.

[TankLV]

18. "Bush Resigns!" Kerry to be sworn in! Massive GOP Fraud!

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Rice all lead off inhandcuffs to waiting FBI officials. Other GOP Party Criminals around the country also rounded up in largest operation of its kind in US history.

Blackfield, LaPore, Harris in tears.

Newspaper headlines.

[Tom_Foolery]

21. Bush: Good Beer; Bad President...

And yes, I know that they have different spellings.

[Kipepeo]

22. Someone on DU made a bumpersticker

that says "Hope Lost, Fear Won"

I forget who...

[CBHagman]

23. Jackass: The president.

It's a little dated in our short attention span culture, but some people will get it.

Also:

Who would Jesus smear?

[Clark2008]

24. Fascism, anyone?

eom

[OneTwentyoNine]

26. BUSH 04 DRAFT 05

Works for me

[BlueCollar]

27. Got WMD's?
