Can You Hear Us Now?

When tea partiers want to make a point, they don’t do things by halves. Staring right at journalists in a media lounge at CPAC,  there’s a wall high banner with the headline, “Can You Hear Us Now?” It has a giant cartoon of an elephant that has just ground a donkey underfoot and is stomping toward a terrified president Obama. He beginst to exclaim “OH SH” and the rest of the dialogue bubble is conveniently obscured by the pachyderm’s leg.

Funny but true.

We just need to be sure that there aren't any other "Elephants" tugging on the first elephants tail trying to slow it down... Do you hear that Senator McCain???

Picture Please ? :)

Heh, I would love to see that banner.

The Elephant should also take care of the RINOs.

The elephant should have a target on its hide just to let him know we are watching him too.

"Target on its' hide?!"

Wait just one second here. Wasn't the liberal press the one that blamed the consertives for targets on the map bringing about the shooting of Rep Gifford. What happened to being civil? What targets are OK for liberals, but not OK for consertives? What kind of trash talk is this? Git a grip, if not common sense. You can't say targets are bad on Monday, and paint one on an Elephant on Friday.

I mention this mostly as a comment on political discourse within our Country. It is all but impossible to have a political discussion without using terms like targets, reload, bash, stomp, crush, and kill em in the voting booth. Still, common sense would dictate that we cool our voices and use reason as a replacement for angry one liners.

It's too bad that CPAC is being hijacked by the notconservatives like GOProud.

Print that poster as a fundraiser. I'll buy one.

Obama should be uttering his new slogan, WTF.

Tish | 2.10.11 @ 2:58PM

Oh, please, PLEASE get a photo of that banner. I think it was based on a cartoon.

OH SH is right, and it will be OH FU in November of 2012!!!!!!!!!!
