CNN: for Palin Rally, Campaign distributed "Home Made Looking Signs"
Isn't that interesting?

I thought just the talking points and the candidates were phony.

I know it's minor compared to, say, the future of the world, but I hope this grows some legs as part of the narrative of their "campaign of lies".

:patriot:

10. Yup, and we know how that's going to compare with Obama's REAL grassroots game
We're going to kick ass in November.

2. As seen on your teevee in 2000 and 2004....Potemkin Politics: it's the Republican way.

4. Yep. McCain's aides make them. And we still get signs that say "Ameirca" and "Mavrick".
Unreal.

Hate to break it to you, but I think that's normal. I think Obama's campaign does it too
If you look on their Flickr site, they have pictures of "sign-making parties" where volunteers make homemade looking signs. I think this is pretty common practice.

8. Not to piss on your post or anything
but I have been to several rallies where the campaign staff handed out homemade looking signs. These were both democratic candidates. This isn't anything new.

11. I've seen lots of them at RNC rallies.
Kind of insulting to us regular people. They think we're stupid and uncreative.

The RNC "home made looking" signs just look too darned hokey. Saw a few very suspicious looking ones at the RNC convention too.

12. Actually most campaigns have volunteers make signs that they hand out at rallies
:shrug: I guess most folks don't take the time to make their own??
