Saw a bumpersticker this morning
It was on the bumper of a car that also had Obama 08 and anti-war stickers, so I know it wasn't a right-winger.

It had a stars and stripes in the background and said, "I disagree with you, so Flag-Flag-Flag!" :7

1. Actually, it's a great sticker
It summarizes the right wing debate strategy very well: If you can't win an argument on substance and fact, immediately wrap yourself in the flag and attack the other side's patriotism.

3. Do you suppose the right-wingers will get it though?
That's half our problem, I think - our politicians and our bumper stickers are too intelligent. :(

5. True, but it can also be entertaining....
I bought one of the stickers in DarkTirade's sig line:



and it's so fun to watch the reactions in the rear-view! Typically, the ones I would peg as free-thinking get it right away and start laughing. The right-wingers stare at it with a blank face for a bit, and I can almost hear the fuses blowing in their heads. Good times!

7. I need to find some place to actually advertise those
I'd love to actually make some money by making fun of freepers. :)

8. I would think they'd be good sellers in California right about now...
Maybe you need to send some freebies to California DUers to start the rage.



Step one: Create bumpersticker to make fun of freepers. (done)

Step two: Send limited number to test area to start a buzz.

Step three: Profit.

:hi:

10. In that case, maybe I should add a url in small print to the sticker somewhere...
so they can find it once they've seen it. :)
