21. LOL, for one who has worked in publishing, you are horribly misinformed as to the time it takes
To go from pre-press to finished product. I used to work in graphic arts and printing both, on everything from small AB Dicks to large Heidelbergs, and I can guarantee you, even though I've been out of the biz for years now, I have enough contacts, and my trusty Mac computer here, that I could crank out ten thousand posters within twelve hours, and tommorrow is Sunday even, meaning a lot of presses are shut down.

It isn't that hard to pull off as you're making it seem. Any decent graphic artist can make a master within an hour, then all it takes is burning the plates and letting the press roll:shrug: Probably the longest part will be letting the posters dry, otherwise you'll wind up with smeared posters.

If I can do this, provided I have the money, I'm sure that the folks at ANSWER and IAC could do so also. All it really takes is money, contacts and the neccessary skill.

I personally don't care one way or the other about ANSWER. I disagree with some of their positions, I agree with some of their stands. I haven't seen this racism that people are claiming, but I've only been to a couple of their rallies early on in the war. But they are one of the few, and arguably the most organized and largest groups out there putting together massive nation wide peace rallies. War makes for strange bedfellows, and that appears to be the case with ANSWER. If you don't like their organization, start your own. And if you need somebody with ink in their blood and the requisite skills to put things together from pre to post press, you know where to look:hi:
