What was everyone's favorite protest sign?
I saw one that had a picture of Bush on one side and Hitler on the other and it said "Same Shit - Different Asshole" LOL

Also, one pic of Bush that said "Proof that there is no such thing as intelligent design"

1. My fave protest sign
was from Bush the Senior's time over abortion rights and the march in DC at that time:

"Bush-Stay Out of Mine"

Never forget it.

2. Those are great. I am partial to Make Levees not War, but I
haven't seen the vast majority of slogans, only what a few cameras here and there picked up.

Several people were carrying a big Bush likeness saying that with pistols in each of his hands.

You need an account with a photo storage site. I recommend Photo Bucket. Once you sign up, you can load images from your computer to photobucket, and copy and past the URL link into your post.

Welcome to DU! I look forward to seeing your pictures.

edit: Photobucket is free, too!

7. The one I like was during coverage of the RNC protest
It was a sign with Reagan and Dubya's Official White House photos. Underneath them it said "Ron" and "Moron" respectively :)

12. I liked "The Rapture is not an Exit Strategy"
There were so many great ones, it's hard to choose.

The most touching ones were the families of dead soldiers, Iraq war vets and other war veterans (esp the WWII ones).

20. This was a most unique sign .....I hate to admit it, but it took me a
second to get it. (My first protest in a very, very long time.)

She got a lot of attention.







(seen in Birmingham):wow:

26. I saw that originally long ago as "waging war for peace is . . . "
Same concept, still just as eye-catching and funny :)

40. One that had me cracking up the first time I saw it, but isn't applicable
these days was:

"Dick Nixon before Nixon dicks you!"

I originally saw it in a photo in an old issue of Life (I think). :)

Many wheelchairs and amputees. I didn't ask, but he was sitting with the Vietnam Veterans for Peace.

43. Two young black women stood on the sidewarlk,
holding a sign that said: "No Iraqi left me on the root to die".

Powerful stuff, those homemade signs.

44. Did you see the performance artists, dubya, dick, & the devil?
I got some pictures of them but I have to wait to develope the film.

This is how it looked. There was a person wearing a dubya mask carrying a beach-ball that was like a world globe. Attached to his back were puppeteer strings, and the person pulling those strings was dick cheney (a person in a mask of dick). Attatched to dick's back were puppeteer strings, and the person pulling those strings was the devil.

It was very effective and very well-done. I hope someone besides me got good shots of that (I'm not sure how well mine will come out).

50. Barbara Bush is wearing Satan's pearl necklace!
I had no one favorite--but there were so many good ones. And since I enjoy the "in-poor-taste" variety as well as the serious ones--this deserved a mention. :evilgrin:

51. "Real Men Know When to Pull Out" and "Pull Out Now George,
Wish Yo Daddy Had". Not necessarily my favorites, but they had me laughing really hard and gave me an energy boost when I needed one!
