Will the RW nutjob pundits go after Malia Obama for her "Peace Symbol" T-shirt?
Edited on Wed Jul-08-09 07:15 PM by RamboLiberal
Or after Barack or Michelle? I'm betting they'll hit new lows on this one. As much as they whine about Letterman and Palin's daughters, they won't be able to resist I bet.


Statement: Malia Obama, ten, wears a T-shirt bearing the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament symbol as she walks through Rome ahead of the G8 summit

Sludge is already running with it. Linking to this.

Barack Obama's eldest daughter has a clear message for her father - it's time to get rid of the world's nuclear weapons.

Just 48 hours after the U.S. President shook hands with Vladimir Putin over an agreement to reduce their stockpile of nuclear weapons, Malia spotted out wearing not one, but two anti-nuclear T-shirts.

The 11-year-old wore tops bearing the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament's famous symbol as her father prepared for three days of G8 talks in Italy.

She wore a grey T-shirt to visit the Colosseum in Rome with mother Michelle and sister Sasha, seven, and then appeared to have whipped it off to reveal a mottled white and grey top also bearing the CND logo.

The symbol, designed for the CND in 1958, is now widely used as to signify peace and is also an international sign for anti-war protester

2. Sasha Obama has also been seen wearing a peace sign
You can't see the whole thing, but if you look closely you can tell that Sasha is wearing a peace sign on her t-shirt.



I know there is a better picture out there as well but I am unable to find it right now.

7. Peace signs are everywhere these days. It's a fashion thing as much as a political statement.
I'm wearing peace sign flip flops from Target as I type this...My 75-year-old mother has a shirt with a peace sign made out of rhinestones (no one ever accused her of having the best taste in clothes).

14. I'd rather we left the kids out of the daily grist
if the RW goes there, then we give them hell. But in the meantime they should be off limits.

15. Suggestion: Forum Needed For RW Attacks Anticipation
I see dozens of these type of fascist-rage-inducing photos & stories all day.

It would be an interesting psychological experiment to see our own consciousness-of-fascism change as the mountains of predicted outrages all come true. Sort of an "abuse victims' workbook" as we take stock of our daily endurance of Holy National Daily Rage.

If we're going to get beaten up anyway, might as well talk about it and take their power away.
