"Peace through Strength" really?
Seriously-how fucking creepy are these people? That appeared to be a non-ironic sign being cheerfully waved about by some people in the audience. Anyone know if that was an anti-war group mocking McCain or something? As far as I could tell they were serious McCain supporters and were waving it along with all the "USA", "Country First" and "McCain-Palin" signs.


If that was a sign intended seriously..wow...just wow..

Looks like someone read "1984" and got confused about who the bad guys were -not surprising given they are Republicans :eyes:

3. It's by no means new.

(One of my favorite semi-ironic T-shirts back when I was in high school was a peace sign made from the silhouette of a B-52, with "peace through overwhelming firepower" written in the circle-ring of the sign.)
