Marketplace of ideas

Driving around I saw an improvised sort of bumpersticker, consisting of two slogans on a rear windshield sign:

NOTE: The car and sign are real. The customized license plate was designed by Dennis.

I must say, it's a rarity, as these two slogans in juxtaposition are not available as a bumpersticker for sale anywhere that I can find.

However, the first slogan -- FREE JUDITH MILLER" -- it's doing pretty well at 13,600 hits. There are of course bumperstickers, T-shirts, and even totebags (the latter sold alongside Hillary coffee mugs.)

As to "JAIL BOB NOVAK," I could only find two Google hits for that phrase.

One was from this "Bush the Destroyer website (which demands that Novak be jailed for "treason"); the other from a commenter here who wants to jail him for "sedition."

Treason is spelled out in the Constitution, and the days of sedition laws are long gone. I don't think the "JAIL BOB NOVAK" meme is much of a winner (no tees yet, folks!), but I do like originality.

Speaking of which, that "Bush the Destroyer" site had an amusing Fox News graphic which is also worth sharing:

Now there's a T-shirt idea!


UPDATE: While searching diligently for the dominant paradigm earlier today (at a nearby shopping center) my search was disrupted by this truly loathsome attack on all that I hold dear!

The horror! The horror!

Today must be one of those days. . .

We obviously need more bumper-stickers, etc., in opposition to these Communist 45S-HOL3S. One of my favorites from back in the early 1970s showed the Communist/hippie peace symbol with the words "Footprint of the American Chicken". I love those ads with sexy women wearing Right-Wing T-shirts saying things like "Hippies Smell", "Commies Aren't Cool", and "Peace Through Superior Firepower". The style of that!

Why do you hate your own country so much?

Yeah, Steven. Liking "sexy women wearing Right-Wing T-shirts" which make fun of Commies is extremely unpatriotic! (Might have to investigate you when President Hillary takes over....)
