1. that banner doesn't make sense

[Occulus]

2. the truth is one direction

Bush* is another

is how I read that

[slinkerwink]

8. It's just a silly banner----have a better banner with words

stating why Bush is bad for NYC.

[jonnyblitz]

26. that sign is AWESOME!!

every other person will have a "bring our soldiers home" type of sign and your other suggestion is way to wordy anb clumsy.

[Ducks In A Row]

3. Maybe...

bush is the opposite of any truth?

[prodigal_green]

6. truth one way, Bush the other

i.e., they are completely opposite.

[THUNDER HANDS]

9. do you not like these guys, slink?

you seem to be a little critical of them

[slinkerwink]

11. because the banner does not paint an effective picture of what

bush has done to our country. I would prefer a banner such as "Bring Our Soldiers Home NOW" or "Why Does NYC Receive Less Funding Than Other Cities?"

14. I am in fact doing that on Sunday

[THUNDER HANDS]

18. it is a lot of words though

for a banner to be effective it should be as short and to the point as possible. Plus, it looks pretty high up so people probably would be straining to read it if it had a lot of words in it.

[Shadder]

12. Just what DO you like?

You don't like the banner, you don't like the other protest. Yeah, I read that your going to be in one but for right now these fine people are out there doing something to make their voices heard. All I hear you doing is bitching about how you don't like it. Fine lot of help that is.

[slinkerwink]

15. because this plays into Rove's hands

[RetroLounge]

29. Fuck Rove and worrying about his hands

Sheesh...

17. LOL....

...What do you want...A banner with EVERY thing * has ever done wrong? That banner would cover up the face of every skyscraper in NYC. I think that would be quite unfeasible.

[slinkerwink]

19. no, with a better message

27. I think it's a great message. Short and to the point.

Not difficult to understand. What's the problem?

22. Yeah, that banner sucks

"Bush Is A Liar" would've been more to the point.

[truth2power]

28. But it does say "bush is a liar"

Just in a more creative way.

Good grief!! These young people are hanging from a few ropes on the side of that building, trying to get the word out. They should be commended. I can hardly stand to look over the mezzanine INSIDE some public building without getting nauseous. And all some people, here, can do is bitch! :eyes:

[Emboldened Chimp]

30. It should literally say that...

has more impact.

[realFedUp]

Creative protest

Thanks for the work and photos.

[murielm99]

4. How long will it stay there?

Long enough for the RNC pukes to see it?

Nice photos, BTW.

[THUNDER HANDS]

5. very cool

I wonder if they'll be unfurling anything at the hotel I'm staying at?

[Nordic]

7. right on!

Hope they get to leave it there

[Pirate Smile]

10. I this one on TV right after it happened. What was the first

successful protest?

Nevermind, I just saw the other thread.

[maxsolomon]

16. that's more like it.

that took extreme enviro skill sets.

what a gorgeous building.

[Pastiche423]

23. A large crowd gathered

and media from around the world eventually arrived.

Hey world! See, there are some Americans that know where the truth lies.

[slutticus]

24. Wonderful!

That's a beautiful building too.

I would like to stay there some day :)

[Carolab]

25. Switched directions...

truth should be to the left, * to the right

[goodhue]

31. great banner
