[Stephanie]

I am serious. And where should we put it?

1. on the loop in DC, and

i'd gladly help fund it. brilliant!

[Stephanie]

8. Good location!

I think it's brilliant too.

Putting it in DC would really rile that Chimp.

[Draknor]

2. Too long of a message

We need something shorter & harsher. Like "Sieg Hail, Furher!" (whatever the spelling on that is).

[Lerkfish]

7. agreed. especially since its not in english, its needs to be shorter.

[Walt Starr]

17. Nope, do it in plain english

Hail Bush!
Hail Victory!

[alfredo]

31. Mein, Gott, mein Führer eom

[robbedvoter]

3. Does it have to be something with that ugly mug on it?

[morgan2]

4. just copy the one in florida

put "Our Leader"

get them all over the country. It will disgust people.

maybe add some tanks/nuclear warheads in the background

[China_cat]

6. Not tanks or warheads

pictures of coffins coming home from Iraq.

[natrat]

15. a nice mushroom cloud sunset

[LuminousX]

21. I don't even think you need to add extra iconography

I think the billboard in and of itself smacks of authoritarianism and the attempt of creating a cult of personality around Bush. Our best bet is to urge it along, a karate political move, using the opponent's momentum to throw him off balance.

[auburngrad82]

5. Just put "Der Fuhrer" on it eom

[Dr Strangelove]

9. Nice Thought

but good luck getting anybody to rent the space to you, try Clear Channel Outdoors, Im sure they can help

[Debbi801]

10. But you know, Post 4 had a great idea...

If we could find a way to convince Clear Channel to put them up nationwide, maybe it would spur on a revolt.

Especially if, after they were up in every state, enough of us started mentioning how much it reminded us of Sadam in Iraq.

11. you'd have to hope people saw the irony in it. Your plan could backfire

otherwise. That is, people starting to really think of him not as a (limited term) president, but as a "leader".

[auburngrad82]

24. How about changing it to "Not OUR Leader" eom

[fob]

30. How about co-opting the church recruiting billboards, you know, the ones

that say

CH__CH, What's missing?

This part NOT in billboard, left for viewer to figger out ---> ( Answer: ur = YOU ARE)

g w bush*
O__ Leader!

What's Missing?


-end-

That'd really get the fascists frothing.

[auburngrad82]

25. delete- dupe eom

[alfredo]

32. I like

Ich bin ein moron

[Village Idiot]

12. I would donate.

No problem - it HAS to be raised in a RED STATE, however...perhaps in a Democratic Texas County? Outside Crawford, perhaps?

[mainer]

13. Won't fly. Make it "Dear Leader" and it might sneak through

No billboard company would dare put up something so blatantly anti-Bush. But if you make it "Dear Leader", the dumb righties might think you're actually praising the guy, while everyone else knows what you're really saying.

[Octafish]

14. Washington, D.C.

Across from the White House.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. This is still America...someone can do anything and say anything

they want on their own private property.. I have about an acre and a half, facing the main 'drag' through town in Fayetteville, AR. If someone else would 'donate' the printing and another the building of the board, you can put it in my front yard!!

[Buns_of_Fire]

18. I got an idea...

Leave the text as is, but replace the picture with the one of him at APEC "airing himself out" (so to speak). (I tried to link to the original picture at Yahoo!, but I got the message that the picture no longer exists on their servers. Gee, what a surprise... :eyes: )

[Stephanie]

19. It's still there

22. Thanks.

Just me trying to do things with an unfamiliar browser that I'm not entirely comfortable with. :-)

(On edit: And my apologies for semi-besmirching Yahoo! -- although it wouldn't surprise me if Rover was making calls as we speak, trying to buy up the negatives. Too late!)

[LuminousX]

20. I'm more in favor of printing and distributing this flyer

http://www.stygianlabyrinth.net/gallery/randomnet/bushflyer

Altering 'Our Leader' with various non-insulting but pointed phrases like 'The Most Moral', 'A Christian President', 'Born Again', 'Fundamentalist', 'Follow Him or Be Left Behind', 'Righteous Warrior', 'Christian Soldier', 'Crusader for Christ', 'Above Reproach', 'Unquestionable', 'Christian Values Personified' and plastering the flyers everwhere.

[donhakman]

23. take it or leave it

[LuminousX]

27. More Flyer Possibilities

Using phrases from old Soviet and Nazi propaganda posters (some altered to fit modern times or American culture):

33. Over the top, but what the hell

[datasuspect]

26. good luck

getting a media company to sign onto this.

[shesemsmom]

28. ROTF

Oh yes.....next to the white house!!!

[noamnety]

29. the sWastika

[kerry-is-my-prez]

34. It needs to be in English. Most people are too dumb to get subtlety.
