1. just your usual stylized political crap except for this requirement at the bottom:

"Attire: casual/come as you are, clothing required" lol

2. Don't want any moons a shinning is my guess

3. I particularly like the Dick Armey quote:

"Tattoos last forever."

Yeah, real profound.
This is the banality of imbecility and finally, of evil.

4. You know, that's not really a very large building.

On a narrow street too.

What kinds of crowds did they say they expected? You know, its an old trick. If you don't have many people and you want to make it look like a crowd, put them in a small room.

5. Looks like the crackpotosphere has grown weary of eagles and such

They're now using clip art cribbed from the Socialist Workers Party

7. It's probably deliberate.

They're co-opting the symbols of what they see as their opposition.

6. I wonder what the point of that "tattoos are forever" quote is.

It seems completely out of context and pointless. What does it have to do with anything?

The "clothing required" thing is absurd too. Are they really concerned about nudists showing up?

8. Just a flashback from "Springtime for Hitler"

only the closed fist salute would make it, "Don't be stupid/Be a smarty/Come and join the/Commie party!"

Talk about a clumsy, transparent Astroturfing job to convince old farts that it's safe for them finally to rebel against the establishment. Up the ass of the ruling class, and all that, now woman, get me another beer.

9. Kind of reminds me of

a poster from the workers paradise, you know.... the Soviet Union! :bounce:

10. aren't these the same people who brought us "Homeland Security"?

:shrug:

11. Wonder why they are discriminating against poles but not checks?
