(3,732 posts)OMG, that's brilliant!
Since he gave permission, the campaign should make a t-shirt and put it on Zazzle for fundraising purposes. (Before some random person just starts making money off of it).
Isn't that a great T-shirt?
(And a small "in memorium" sig would be fitting tribute - as mentioned above).
madfloridian
(88,117 posts)Hadn't thought about that.

(45,251 posts)However, they are being sold by a private party, not the campaign. So, if one wants a Sanders T shirt, I recommend buying a more conventional one from the campaign, no matter how cool this image is. Also, the ones being sold by the campaign are union made.

(7,608 posts)Back in the day (early 60's) I was first identified as a "fringer." Fringer was shorthand for those belonging to the "radical, communist, beatnik fringe." Yeah, they thought we were beatniks...very hurtful stuff. Fringers were for civil rights, against the "police action" in Viet Nam, and were rumored to smoke pot...
Still a fringer, though the dope-smoking days are pretty far behind me now. RIP Jackpine Radical.

@madfloridian I just saw this on DU. He is from Wi., where I live. I was shocked to hear this. Wish I could express this on DU.

Dammit, some days it's just hard not to imagine a huge conspiracy is controlling the course of events in the world.
Monday, October 4, 2010
The US is now facing the greatest concentration of wealth at the top that we have seen since 1929, and we seem to have a Forever War going on. Even during the Clinton years, between the two Iraq wars, we continued a program of "low-intensity" warfare against Saddam. We have now shifted our focus to Afghanistan--that eternal sink of imperial ambitions--and will likely take on Pakistan next, followed by Iran.
The New Democrats in the US seem to be imperialist Republicans minus the hoods and burning crosses. The nation is being swept by anti-intellectualism: fundamentalist religion, climate change denial, writing Thomas Jefferson out of the history books, and the like. The public schools are being reduced to serf academies where students learn the minimal literacy and numeracy skills required to make them useful for their masters, while those parts of the curriculum having to do with critical thinking, artistic expression, and general understanding of the world are being subverted by various strategems.
A large portion of this country seems to think they live in a universe equipped with different physical laws than the one I believe myself to inhabit. Somehow, I think this is no accident. People who are willing to believe that humans coexisted with dinosaurs are also likely to accept the notion that their interests will best be served by deregulating the corporations and predatory investment banks, and that their true enemies are the trade unions, the Muslims, the socialists, and the brown-skinned unfortunates who pick their crops under brutal conditions for desperately little pay.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little reality-based minds.

Give up consistency, give up rationality, give up the shackles of logic, and all things become possible to you.
You can balance the Federal budget by cutting taxes on the rich and create jobs by busting unions.
You can deny the poor the basic necessities of life, secure in your knowledge that you are doing the work of the Lord.
You can run an oil-based economy forever because oil is a renewable resource and there are no harmful consequences to burning it.
You can call your opponents enemies and traitors and advocate their assassination and rest assured that you have no responsibility when someone acts on your word.
You can take from others whatever it pleases you to take, and do to them whatever it pleases you to do, knowing that you are merely helping the Lord to carry out His will on those who deserve no better.
You can subject your enemies to pain, torture and death, knowing full well that you have the Lords blessing because they are also His enemies.
And finally, if you have any mild twinges of fear for your soul, at the end of your days you can utter certain magical phrases and all will be forgiven--if, indeed, there is actually anything to be forgiven in one who has lived such an exemplary life as yours has been.
