here's an example:



''I truly fear what a handwriting analysis of this sign would tell us''

?????????

EDIT: google image link for signs, plus one for the rally itself; these'll keep you busy for awhile:

1. Great sign
Another take is "Why does god never talk to the SANE?"

Magical thinking is as much a defining characteristic of the far right as authoritarianism is.

4. Forget the handwriting analysis.
He can spell, and that's probably what is subconsciously disturbing this blogger.

6. Printing signifies the writer wishes to be clearly understood.
That's about as much as an analyst can get from printing. Cursive handwriting, which is no longer being taught, is much more revealing.

Eventually, printing will also become individualized enough to interpret. But not yet.

7. true, but in what demented corner of this twit's mind is there something
'bizarre' about the handwriting?

the entire post is filled with excellent examples of just how, to put it complimentarily, different is the mindset, as well as how extremely weak grip the right wing has on reality:

it's PELOSI's fault that war spending increased? wtf is that supposed to mean. she took over in 2007. we were on our way out of Iraq by then....but what's the point of using logic, right?

just fun to watch the crazy at work

15. Besides, it's printed, not written--
can you do handwriting analysis on printing? Really, I'd like to know.

18. Also, the obvious planning and graphic presentation.
The tea baggers like to jam up letters, badly plan their posters, and misspelling is mandatory.

I swear there is a spelling gene, and those who don't have it are inclined to be right wingers.

5. I tried very hard to read this entire blog post,
but people like this just can't do "funny."

(And apparently he doesn't know what "dry hump" means. Which makes me sad for him.)

11. When I was in Catholic school...
many, many moons ago...before mom put me in public school...the nuns taught us to write using rulers, for signs and "artsy" stuff. The writing looked very much like this. My guess is a handwriting analysis would tell us he was taught the same method. Friggin idiots always looking to stir the pot....

16. A reply to his own blog says it all...
I got linked here from LGF. I always tell my liberal friends they are wrong when they say we conservaties don't understand irony or humor and we're just old white boring men. After reading your commentary on some pretty damned funny signs I think I have to start agreeing with them.

They're making fun of you, and I don't think you're smart enough to get it...


When your own audience starts throwing tomatoes, it's time to leave the stage.

19. Could be. Perhaps in the infinite world of the Intertubes, there are a few rational ones out there?
Is there an underground to the underground to the underground, tuning up their banjos (banjos?) in preparation of the singing of Kumbaya with a chorus including Glenn Beck, Keith Olbermann, Mitch O'Connell, Ed Schultz, John Boehner, and Nancy Pelosi, conducted by Jon Stewart?

Nah. Probably not. I'll just content myself with the knowledge that not all conservatives are teabaggers. I'll take what I can get.

Well, it is actually hand "printed"....but when I see misspelled signs or posters made by disgruntled teabaggers that have been uploaded online, I usually compare them to this one:
