Ed Schuster callers: billboards saying "Quit 2nd guessing Our Pres"

[jamboi]

widespread all over the US. I'm telling y'all we need MoveOn or someone like that to get out there NOW and start countering this. TV ads, billboards, the works. "Our President" or "Our Leader" is the new phrase of the right. I heard a caller to C-SPAN yesterday using that phrase too. Really scarey!!! Goebbels & Hitlerian stuff.

[hlthe2b]

1. Good heavens--that IS some potent kool-aid they are sipping!

Canada is looking better and better---don't flame me, now-- a person can dream, right?

[jamboi]

56. My bad, I meant Ed Schultz of course. I had just replied to another topic

on David Schuster and flipped them. Oops. Ed's a decent progressive commentator.

[jamboi]

58. I googled '"Support our leader", Bush' and got 1,130 hits! Scarey! n/t

[IAMREALITY]

59. If It Makes You Feel Better Jamboi

I googled "Fuck Bush" and got 52,600 hits.

:)

[seito]

63. LMAO ;-)

Thanks reality, I needed a laugh tonight.

[angrydemocrat]

66. LMAO

You are wild LOL! Thanks I needed a good laugh today.

[jamboi]

73. Here's a link for photos

[MercutioATC]

2. Maybe using "Quit 2nd Guessing" with Hitler's photo?

Preferably as close to the "Quit 2nd Guessing Our President" billboards as possible.

Not as a comparison of Bush to Hitler, but as a reminder what happens when we stop questioning.

[geo]

51. Good marketing. This will harness the power of their phrase ...

for our side. Good thinking. :) -G

[Not_Without_A_Fight]

52. Counter Neo-Cons billboard with this billboard idea

Image:

Lemmings following behind a single lemming who is headed over a cliff. Label the cliff "IRAQ", label the lead lemming "OUR LEADER".

Message: Don't second guess or question OUR LEADER

Best,
Not_Without_A_Fight

:tinfoilhat:

[rdmccur]

62. Most Excellent idea!

[ccarter84]

83. great idea...but it would be hard to implement

w/out people saying we were comparing bush to hitler...which has brought hellfire when it was perceived as being done in the past

[glitch]

3. Stop Thinking! Don't Question!

Or that artist that does the OBEY posters. Also the one who takes 40s-50s propaganda posters and 'updates' them. Good stuff.

[rockedthevoteinMA]

4. I saw a bumper sticker last night -

An American flag and it said "W - GET OVER IT" I wanted to hit the car, but my rational side got the best of me.

[Straight Shooter]

10. We all know what that "W" really stands for

Worship Me.

It's time to make a bumper sticker like that, with the W in the circle, and make the W as a stylized crown.

That W is some serious psychological brainwashing going on, and the dopes don't even realize it. If you'll notice the logo they have now, it does slightly resemble a crown. The circle around it represents eternity, no beginning and no end.

Also, by symbolizing him with a letter, they are reducing everything he is and everything he does to a mindless concept of obedience. It gives me the absolute creeps.

Even Jesus didn't walk around calling himself J.

[Not_Without_A_Fight]

53. Idea for a button working from yours

Idea for a button -- using your stylized crown idea with the W -- then put it in a red circle with line drawn through it.

Not_Without_A_Fight ;-)

[SueZhope]

5. thanks

just tuned in
what country are we in?

[flyarm]

71. my favorite button is..........

BUCK FUSH!!!!!!!!!!! I WEAR IT EVERY DAY!!..FLY

[IAMREALITY]

6. I'll tell ya what, Leave em up there

But just make sure they are STILL up there On Jan 20th and thereafter, when they will be representing President Kerry.

[jean]

7. "Our Leader" has been the caption on some Clear Channel sponsored

billboards of shrub - don't know which states - Ed Schultz has mentioned this, as well.

We should use bumperstickers and signs everywhere that simply say:

? W (question W)

Attention: can someone make a ? W avatar, for starters?

[SaintAnne]

9. ooooo I like I like

I may write this all over school now! yes yes, it will give me something to do.

[rockedthevoteinMA]

11. We should drop the letter W from the alphabet. n/t

[parasim]

13. "Question W" has been around for awhile

I think it was started by a DUer

http://www.questionw.com/

[jean]

20. good - that's probably why it came to my mind! I'm definitely not an

idea generator...but do you know if there are any stickers, signs, etc with the ?W available - or an avatar?

[Helga Scow Stern]

32. You could PM Amycrat.

[RaulVB]

8. "Our Leader"

Is a mix between an Orwellian representation and Nazi propaganda.

That's what I call "believing in democracy"!

The Republican leadership shoud apologize.

[Qanisqineq]

12. Ed Schultz???? Is that the radio show you are referring too?

:D

[jamboi]

28. Yes. Sorry I forgot to say. WeGotEd.com is his web site. n/t

[Alizaryn]

14. Is there a trick for posting a picture?

[anamandujano]

18. go here and follow directions

[Alizaryn]

35. Thank you! This needs to be a billboard!

[Helga Scow Stern]

74. That says it in a nutshell.

[AmandaRuth]

15. my husband and I drove to eastern wa

over Thanksgiving weekend and right over Cascade Pass was a big sign, (not the size of a billboard, but a big sign none the less) that said George w Bush Our Leader, No picture - does any one know if someone is keeping track of these signs?

[Quakerfriend]

17. My 2nd grader

brought home a Time magazine school teaching tool that had W's picture on the front and "4 more years" next to his mug. On the inside it had "the winner" along with a picture of the VP and family. Sick. We ought to start sending paint ball snipers out to do these billboards in. None up in Philly area yet!

[crimnos]

19. I've been trying to keep track of these...

on my livejournal. Here are the two I have so far...

Pre-election:



The one you mentioned:


I'd really like a shot of this one.

[jean]

22. welcome crimnos! That bottom one seems familiar - didn't a DUer post

a pix a few weeks (days?) ago showing an Our Leader billboard that had red paintball streaks on it? I can't remember who it was or what state they were from. . .

Edit: after searching DU:

holy mother of god - I missed all these threads - they're links to links to links discussing these billboards and whether they're photoshopped...

done

[crimnos]

60. Thanks for the welcome!

I hadn't seen that larger version before. I'm interested in seeing just how much of this stuff we see in the next four (eight? sixteen?) years.

[Sweet Freedom]

24. I think there's supposed to be a "Y"

in front of that "our"!

[Helga Scow Stern]

33. If those aren't signs that the AntiChrist has arrived, I need to go back

to Sunday school...

[Dolphyn]

37. If you want more signs of the Antichrist ...

[Helga Scow Stern]

78. Just as I suspected.

Interestingly, it quotes Nostradmus:

From the three water signs
Will be born a man
Who will Celebrate Thursday as his feast day.
His renown, praise, rule and power will grow on land and sea,
Bringing trouble to the East.

I just read in a recent article in Newsweek that Carl Rove first "discovered" * the day before Thanksgiving in 197?

But then, this has nothing to do with those billboards.....:crazy:

[savistocate]

40. I'd prefer a shot AT IT.

How long before Hitler moustache gets added ~~sooooon please. Or better blow them up.

This is unprecendented and loathsome. What Pres ever did this--or would even think of it? Or their supporters? They are
bots truly brain dead followers. But those directing these
zombies (pathetic yet dangerous) know the game is control their masses, echo chambers for their propaganda, builds/increases their power authority & wealth.

My recent letter to MSM included link to webopedia/Dominionist
and that this is what they ALL are promoting & marketing in their committment _selling of
BushCo.

[flyarm]

72. FIRST POST ELECTION WAS ORLANDO..NEAR DISNEY!

FAMILY VALUES YOU KNOW...EXCUSE ME ..I AM VIOLENTLY ILL!! FLY

[glitch]

21. Hmm - anywhere in Seattle that sells paint guns? I think green and orange

little red, kind of get a chunky vomit motif going. What say?

[Rosco T.]

16. PICTURES! I need a PICTURE! n/t

[seafan]

23. Orlando, FL billboard on Interstate 4:

Thanks to DU member davhill:

[LongTomH]

25. OMFG! That picture of Dubya!

It looks braindead and demonic at the same time!
:scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared: :scared:

[IAMREALITY]

26. More Brainwashing Tactics

Ya know, like how SADDAM had his picture everywhere???

Don't worry DU'rs, Together we will rip that board down come Jan 21st hehe.

[republikkkon]

55. ...

"Ya know, like how SADDAM had his picture everywhere???"

that is EXACTLY what i was thinking when i read this thread. if that sign were around my neck of the woods best believe i would be up there with spray cans. can't someone around the area at least bomb it with some paint-eggs/baloons?

[Not_Without_A_Fight]

38. WHOA !

He doth protest too much.

[blue agave]

27. How about - Quit 2nd guessing Our Recount ! (nt)

[Not_Without_A_Fight]

57. Exactly: True Americans don't second guess

proving that our democracy works

Don't rethink the recount!

Not_Without_A_Fight }(

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

29. we need a billboard that says 51% is not a mandate

[IAMREALITY]

30. Bullshit

Saying that would be implying he actually got 51% of the votes. (which he didn't)

:)

[texpatriot2004]

31. How about one that says he's not our leader?

[jamboi]

34. Absolutely. or "3% is not a mandate" I'm telling you we NEED ADS NOW. n/t

[fliesincircles]

36. Read the Constitution

The word leader is NOT in the Constitution!!! If the pukes new phrase is "Our Leader", just respond with "sorry, I'll stick with the Constitution, after all, I'm an American."

[Last Lemming]

39. No, no, no

We are up against fascists. This guys will make us vote from the roof top. . .
Just have "Our Leader" and that picture of GWBush at the Canadian embassy with that wine glass in his hand. What we can use is trenchant ridicule.

[savistocate]

44. Where is the photo? talking real photo?

Link?

[jamboi]

68. Posting #19 has photos. The "Don't 2nd Guess leader" 1 I haven't seen yet

It was a report by a caller on Ed Schultz.

[ourbluenation]

41. Does anyone besides me think this will have a negative effect?

By putting "don't 2nd guess our President" billboards everywhere, it may get people thinking that maybe there's some reason why they should. I don't know...just a thought. Plus - it's so saddamish to have the political-leader-on-high posted up all over the place.

JTT

[glitch]

42. Actually I am torn - I so want to deface, but leaving 'as is' is a strong

statement for OUR side. So you are not alone.

[jamboi]

49. Defacing would probably work against us. n/t

[glitch]

50. Yeah Cooler heads prevail Anybody know where you can buy skunk essence?nt

[gorbal]

43. heh

Great bilboard for a candidate who is bought and sold.

[jhgatiss]

45. Where are these billboards located? n/t

[jamboi]

46. I saw a photo of one on the web from FL. I think I saw it from Buzzflash

[jhgatiss]

47. Oh...

There was one in FL near Orlando that said Our Leader. I've never seen one that said Stop Second Guessing. I would LOVE to see that if it exists...

[jamboi]

48. That one you refer to is scarey enough. If the 2nd Guess 1 is true we'll

probably see it on the web soon.

[ailsagirl]

64. And some in Arizona

only I can't get to the link tonight.

It was:

http://www.cardhouse.com/travel/az/billboards/billboards.htm

But now I can't get to the website. It was posted here last night? Maybe the night before.

No photos and they weren't big billboards but I remember one said, "Support our leader" or something like that.

blecchhhhhh

[proud patriot]

54. How about "70% of Americans didn't vote for bush"

60% of Eligible Americans Voted
40% did not vote
bush got 30%
Kerry got 30%
which means
70% said no to bush

[jamboi]

69. I like that one. Are the numbers accurate? n/t

[savistocate]

75. 70% must be correct - 48% of eligible did not vote

Of American adult population, citizens -if given Fascist won w/51% of Electorate- its 29 or 30% pushing this Dominionist "mandate" don't question BuSh/us-Worship Bush faction. Percentage of christian cons(all Evang-Baptist-RWCatholic) piece of the electorate is 12%..of US population Ive seen 22 or 24% (that must be all ages)

[savistocate]

76. 70% - as given correct..or 48%did not vote.

as just heard on LeftRadio.

If given 51% of electorate to BuSh--Of whole population eligible adult Americans, they were elected by 29 or 30%.

ConChristian piece of the electorate I've seen as 12%.

This is a small minority worshipping AWOL..trying to shut up any opposition to Dominionist sick goals. That & strategies see Wikipedia - Dominionist

[Carolab]

65. How about

Quit second-guessing liberals.

[labouchet]

67. Maybe more people should see this photo...

80. Heart breaking. KKK attire of another color.

How about billboarding that with NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND.

[glitch]

84. This is the picture I always think of when I think of the assholes in

control of the US right now. Thanks for posting it to remind me to be FURIOUS again of what is being done in our name.

From the link:

"You haven't begun to see evil... horrible things done to children of women prisoners, as the cameras run". Seymour Hersh, commenting on unreleased images and footage from Abu Ghraib.

:puke:

[fasttense]

70. And the bully pulpit repeats the message

I accidental turned on a Christian radio station, not hard to do here in TN since the AM dial is full of them. I heard a preacher saying that we need to not question our leaders. He said that if you are not loyal to your leader, you are not in step with Christian values and principals. It turned my stomach. The bully pulpit is in lock step with the adds and I feel we are not in America anymore.

PS. Labouchet I looked at that picture, it about tore my heart out. Thanks.

[savistocate]

77. 48% was cited by (?) LeftRadio it must be 40-41%

Have consistentlyseen 59% of those eligible voted.
Didn't mean to post twice - thought it didn't post-oops

[Helga Scow Stern]

81. AM dial full of Hatewing Christian propaganda here in Ventura County

in Southern California as well.

They sprung up before the election and just keep spreading their lies and instructions for political action.

[high density]

79. Luckily my state does not allow billboards

Smart move, especially if they're just going to be used as political propaganda tools.

[pilgrimsoul]

85. A chilling response would be...

to put up billboards identical to the one shown in this thread, with only the words changed to read:

DON'T THINK
DON'T QUESTION
IGNORE THE TRUTH

[skids]

82. Geez at least in the movie "They Live"

...the messages were subliminal...
