***Rally For Sanity Signs!***
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 10:33 AM by Pirate Smile
They are going to be good so I thought we should start a thread. I have a soccer game to go to soon but, so far, on Twitter, here are some good ones I've read about (no pics - hopefully those will show up soon):

"Your conspiracy pop-ups are blocking all the porn."

"God hates nags"

"Hyperbole is murdering America!"

"Bring back Pre existing conditions!"

"HOPE WON'T DIE. IT'S LIKE ZOMBIES"

"Paved roads are socialism"

"Don't mistake your echo chamber for reality"

"I spell check my political rage"

"I don't want to take my country back. I want to take it forward."

"Think Outside the FOX"

"I'm from Kentucky but I'm not going to curb stomp you"

"Paul Revere was an anchor baby!"

"Obama still hasn't taken away my guns - I feel so lied to"

"My Wife Thinks I'm Hiking the Appalachian Trail"

"I disagree with you but i'm pretty sure you're not Hitler."

"God hates HMOs."




Another tweet: 'We just had a huge crowd break out in chanting "Three Word Chant."'

TweeterChannels Just setup a dedicated channel for the #rally4sanity http://tinyurl.com/34jsnz6 Adding new Tweeters as we find them.

Twitter hashtags: #rally4sanity #actualsigns



NYT's The Caucus:

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/30/live-blog-rally-to-restore-sanity-andor-fear/?src=twt&twt=thecaucus#signs-and-posters

The arts blog of the Washington-area news site TBD.com has set up a Flickr page http://www.tbd.com/blogs/tbd-arts/2010/10/jon-stewart-rally-signs-photos--3942.html to collect photos of satirical signs and posters seen at the rally. Only a few have been posted so far, but they're pretty funny, including:

"My wife thinks I'm walking the Appalachian Trail."

"I have bed bugs!"

And one, held by a rallygoer dressed as an 18th century British soldier, that reads: "Repeal the Third Amendment."

And, via the Twitter feed of Washington Post reporter Garance Franke-Ruta, here's a rallygoer who declares he's pro-Life, in a sense.

3. Ditto......very poignant
and what I've been thinking since Palin was selected as a V.P. candidate. They are setting feminism back 100 years. Maybe that's what they mean about "taking their country back".

5. Seriously.
This is goes well beyond ideology, partisanship or even politics. I hate to say we are superior in terms of cultural awareness, artistic taste, intellectal aptitude, and basic human decency... but ... I will.
