pegkerrI hesitated over posting this one, because yeah, it's sorta unfair. All right, grossly unfair. And I do have conservative friends I don't want to tick off needlessly. But deep down in the darkest corners of my soul, it strikes me as hilarious. Who said that liberals don't have a sense of humor?
Earlier this year, the web site for the Bush-Cheney campaign - the real one, paid for by MBNA America and Richard Scaife - featured a "create your own banner" tool, where you could enter your own slogan and print out your own poster, with the Bush-Cheney logo, and a note at the bottom "paid for by Bush-Cheney '04, Inc."
Democrats, of course, couldn't get enough of this. The original sloganator accepted everything - then it started censoring profanity and words like "Hitler" "dictator," and "evil." Nevertheless, many clever folks exploited the sloganator to their own ends before its sad demise only a couple of weeks after its birth, and its mourners assembled some of the best for the slide show here.
[Warning: Politically biased humor, and at least one of the slogans probably not work safe]
