I know the Teabaggers are funny, with their misspelled signs.
But during the protests from our side, weren't there bad spelling and grammar screwups from our guys?

6. Just that any of us can be dumb in misspelling also.
I misspell words all the time, and make types all the time.

"SAY NO TO WARE!"

"NO JUSTICE, NO PIECE!"

"EVRY VOTE COWNTS!"

"KEEP YOU'RE LAUS OFF MY BOTY!"

"HELTHCAR 4 ALL!"

10. The last big rally for our side I remember seeing pics of was a healthcare rally in SFO....

Lots of signs, not one misspelling that I noticed.

(That's not the thread I originally saw on it, but it's the same rally.)

11. If the Lord says it's ok to mis-spell
then it is ok to mis-spell. Don't you get it? The individual is the lowest form of sinner. But the teabagging neanderthals will be forgiven for their poor spelling. The rest of us can just rot in hell. Woo-hoo!

14. Please go ahead and show us some samples.
Edited on Thu Sep-24-09 12:56 AM by JackRiddler
You can start with the many thousands of antiwar and protest photos accessible through services like flickr.com and image search on Google and other engines. Having been to many such protests, I know you won't find more than a handful of flubs, and possibly none of them will be as dramatic as your average teabagger sign.

It's not a bad thing in itself that the teabaggers tend to have so many mis-educated and woefully ignorant people among them. It's the way they flaunt precisely these qualities as though they were strengths. The many, many illiterate, sloppy and nonsensical signs are not a matter of normal variation, but unconsciously indicative of program.

15. Do you have examples?
I know leftists compared the GOP to nazis, but I don't recall constant misspellings like you see with the wingnuts.
