1. I expect our congresscritters to vote on a resolution to condemn this.
 If it is good enough for MoveOn, it is good enough for the tea baggers.

4. Move on is considered liberal.
 They won't dare apply the same standards.

Why should they apologize?  DU compared Bush to every nefarious, evil person in history including Hitler on a daily basis for eight years... where's your apology, chumps?

And the "postage stamp" with a picture of Bush with a gun to his head.  That was high comedy at the DUmp for weeks.

Basically 'Speaking truth to power' loses almost all of its appeal for them when their side becomes the one in power, then suddenly it's sedition and treason.

The hippies in Boulder would be swerving off the road if they saw that.  THAT would make it worth the price.

There's a local HVAC company that has an enormous billboard up along I-40 and they regularly put little jabs and pokes at liberals on it.  Something this blatant would get it burned down around here.

You mean like the "General Betray-US" ad MoveOn.org bought in the NY Times a couple of years back--the one that more people saw than would EVER see that billboard?  The one where they NYT gave them the maximum discount?

The one they recently tried to "scrub" from their website?

Minnesota businessmen put this up in February - and it's still up - I just rode past it a couple of weeks ago.

I parked behind a car with a bumper sticker that said "Is it 2012 yet?"  No context at all but the only one I can think of is giving Lord Zero the boot.  I suppose it could be some anti-human lefty wishing for the death of human-kind in some sort of apocalyptic prophecy but I don't know...

I remember hearing all the nasty, distasteful comments about that billboard. Right next to my state, too. I hope they keep it up until the mess Obama made/is making is fully cleaned up.

I just came back from that part of the country.  I would have loved to have seen that billboard.

I did see another one that made me guffaw.  Interstate 29 southbound, north of St. Joseph, is a huge blue billboard with the word "NARCISSIST" in bold yellow letters. :lmao:

I've seen a couple of "1.20.2013--End of an Error" bumper stickers around here.  This is NYS, in the Albany area, which is seriously blue, but has a fair amount of red around it (especially where I live).

Going through the parking lot at work I see a plethora of those, along with the, "I'll keep my guns, money, and FREEDOM--you can keep the "change"!"

I'm seeing fewer and fewer Obammy stickers of late, and more of the, "How's that hopey/changey thing working for you?" type of stickers.

Early on in zero's reign, a Harley dealer here put up a billboard on his property which faced the interstate.  I can't recall exactly the wording, but it was anti-Obama.  People couldn't believe the cajones on the guy.  More people are feeling their oats as we go along.

I don't understand what they're upset about.  The billboard says "DEMOCRAT", not "democratic, which always puts them in a funk.  I'd think they'd be happy.  There's just no pleasing some people.
