17. Make sure it's a red one
so it'll look like one of their English papers in high school. I'm sure they all looked like they bled to death.

Right wingers have no sense of irony.

10. Why the hell can't these people spell?
After hundreds upon hundreds of stupid mispelled posters, you'd think they'd be more careful.

Over and over and over, it's ridiculous. And these are the people who complain that "others" are taking their jobs without merit.

No matter how many of these stupid signs I see, I am continually amazed at the next one.

Can you imagine how the media would skewer liberals if we continually mispelled words?

Never a peep from the media about these idiots and their inability to spell words.

And what about their compatriots? I daresay that if a liberal appeared at a rally with a mispelled poster the other liberals who tell him and help them correct the sign.

Either freepers don't care, or they're too stupid to know when a word is mispelled.

Or, am I being sarcasm-challenged?

constitutional rights, individual freedoms and their KIDS. Gee, I'd be pretty upset if I lost my child, but they sure look happy...

On Edit: I just looked again, Did anyone notice the jewelry on the sign holders wrist and hand? It looks like Napier...that's not cheap... And look at the seams on that orange blouse, that shirt is silk...I think I have their number...a bunch of rich bitches with nothing better to do than protecting their wealth with hyperbole and lies...I wonder who their husbands are...

almost as if they were really trying hard not to come across as the stupid dolts they are. My mother would compare them to the people who think their shit doesn't stink. She would say- their farts are giving them away.

22. Ignorance is dangerous. And isn't it unpatriotic (against the flag code) to use
the US flag that way?

(quickly double-checking my spelling...)

23. Ignorance is Dangerous so please tell me what the following words mean?
Childen

Fredom


Because obviously an intelligent person, would proof their sign before displaying it publicly, so they must be new words.

24. Er, it's not all that uncommon to see that particular misspelling right here on DU!
I inwardly wince whenever I spot it, but out of respect for my fellow DUer, remain silent. There are plenty of truly outrageous Teabag signs out thee, let's focus on them instead.

25. It's one thing to see a typo on a message board, but I'd wager that
most here on DU would do a better job of spellchecking a rally sign or poster before they took it out for public display.

29. Exactly. Somtimes the computer doesn't cooperate too.
I don't equate misspellings on e-mails and forum posts the same as misspellings on protest posters.

38. I both make many typos in this forum and rarely proof my work.
I'm the first to admit that I both make many typos in this forum and rarely proof my work.

Yet I imagine that were I to create a placard or sign dramatically advertising my support or lack of support for a thing I'm passionate about, I would be somewhat more careful.

34. What I don't get...
Whoever made this misspelled "losing," "freedoms" and "children" but got "constitutional" right? How did that happen?

Look a bit closer at the sign. The Liberty Bell, Statue of Liberty and American flag graphics are all computer generated, but the text is hand-drawn. This one's strange, to say the least.
