Take back the scream! YEEAAARRRRGGGHHH!!

[Spiffarino]

If you're like me, you love Howard's scream. Even if you don't, you must be tired of the RW attempt to use it as a smear.

I say it's time we take it back.

So Dems, Greens, Liberals and Lefties of all stripes who desire to claim what is rightfully ours, let's crank up the Progressive PR engine.

Post your ideas for stickers, shirts, posters, billboards, and anything else we can use to get the word out and...

TAKE BACK THE SCREAM!










Here's a good place to start: www.makestickers.com

Now show us what you've got...

[ProudToBeLiberal]

1. spread the message yeaaarrrrrghhhhh nt

[calimary]

34. "I'm Screaming TOO!"

I'd like to see a bumper sticker that says this.

Or a two-liner:

I'm With Howard Dean
I'M SCREAMING, TOO!


That is honestly how I feel.

Dean Screams for ME!

There's another one.

[wyldwolf]

2. great idea... Randi Rhodes does this...

...one caller called her down for using the scream but she says it's the Democrat's battle cry (or mating cry?)

[Spiffarino]

3. Randi's doing it??

YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

You go, girl! :thumbsup:

[wyldwolf]

5. yeah, she has been since the scream originally occurred

[Spiffarino]

8. Then I haven't been listening enough

I started listening a couple of months ago, but I thought the scream was just kind of a fun thing for her. I didn't realize it had message value as well.

Awesome.

[wyldwolf]

11. she'll only state the message when some whiney butt complains

[RealDems]

59. NDOL.org?

Hmm... somehow, I doubt the DLC screams with Dean...

[hippiechick]

4. I say we make it our battle cry !

Because if, as the bumper sticker says, you're not completely appalled, you haven't been paying attention.

And if you have been paying attention, then surely you want to let out a rebel yell just like Dean did.

So here's to taking BACK OUR COUNTRY:
(this one's for you, Kef)

YYYEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH !!!

[Spiffarino]

6. Yes, for Khephra, too!

Damn it. You made me tear up, hippiechick.

Let's do it for Kef, too. :cry:

[Merlot]

7. Just like "Whooooo-ya"

A DJ at a very popular radio station here in Los Angeles was known for his "whooo-ya" and at one point there were bumper stickers that just said "whoooo-ya" and nothing else.

Pretty cool, and pretty cryptic.

[Ilsa]

9. I love it! I never had a problem with it.

It was the despicable media that decided to trash him over it.

[spanone]

10. I thought Dean's enthusiam was welcome. Passion in politics.

What a concept.

[Horse with no Name]

12. Yep

Lemons into lemonade.

"Keep the scream"!

[Spiffarino]

13. Make your own bumpersticker instructions:

Go to http://www.makestickers.com

Choose a template (I used the politics and politicians template for most of mine)

Use Alt+Print Screen or your favorite graphics app to capture the page

Crop

Upload your masterpiece to your favorite image host and...

Voila!

[sunnystarr]

14. I prefer YEEEE HAAAA

Plus it kinda reminds me of donkey cry ... how appropriate is that! the ARGH is usually representative of something bad or unpleasant.

[Spiffarino]

15. How about we meet halfway?

I'll take out the "G"

[sunnystarr]

30. Golly Gee ... looks good to me lol :) (nt)

[mopinko]

45. sounds too much

like the all hat no cattle cowboy.

[Siyahamba]

16. I loved his Yahoo radio commercial!

"Then I did a book signing... IN SOUTH DAKOTA!!!"

[Ashamed_American]

17. Siyahamba,

I heard that and thought it was great. The best thing Dean will have going for him is the young crowd like myself (24) love the guy. His enthusiasm, energy, roll the sleeves up and kick the elephant in the ass attitude will take him a long way. (hopefully to the White House)

[elshiva]

61. LOL.Yep

"And then we'll finally be taking a breather...IN WASHINGTON DC!"

[Borgnine]

18. I LOVED the scream.

I never saw the problem with it. After all, aren't we usually shredded for running candidates who are boring stiffs? Dean showed passion that night, and even if it was blown out of proportion, I still consider it a war cry.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Howard Dean.

YEEEEEAAAARRRRGGGGHH!!!!

[Spiffarino]

25. I scream...

Oh yeah. That's gotta be a sticker.

[leesa]

19. I agree. If you embrace it and are not ashamed of it, they can't use it

against you.

I was thrilled to hear him refuse to answer one of those "some people say..." questions one of the "reporters" asked him. Dean said he wouldn't answer questions that were blind sourced. This is an EXCELLENT policy.

[calimary]

36. This is TRUE TRUE TRUE!!!

We take that scream and make it ours. That immunizes it against being used as a republi-CON weapon. Completely neutralizes it.

Just think of it this way - remember that stunt with the aircraft carrier and "pResident Top Gun"? You could just taste it as an inevitable campaign commercial. The pains they took to sstage it so perfectly and photogenically! Well, it got turned around - we made it OURS instead of letting them run with it, and took the teeth out of it. And they couldn't use it once. I realize this is not an identical situation, but it IS another ship that can, and should be turned in OUR direction.

If anybody needs to turn this into a campaign weapon, it's US.

[mopinko]

20. i always loved the scream

and gave away bumperstickers here on du after it happened. sorry i don't have a pick up anymore.
came in 2 flavors- give 'em hell howard, and give 'em howl, howard. had the pic that was going around, and a big ole yyyeeeaaaarrrggghhh!

i love howard, and think that maybe he will help us more as chair than he would have as pres. glad the pink tutus lost. still p.o.ed about what happened to him, tho.

[Spiffarino]

23. Great sticker!

Thanks for adding it. I would really like to see the ones you did earlier. Could they be Google-cached? What were their file names?

[mopinko]

32. it was not on my button site

it was on a photo bucket type thing. i will see if i can find it, and repost it.

[mopinko]

44. hope this link holds

this site is flaky sometimes.
i put the link to the album in case the image link flakes out.

[Spiffarino]

52. Here ya go

I have a good hosting site (so far, anyway).

BTW, the sticker is great. See for yourselves, everyone:

[calimary]

35. BTW, I just love that billboard of yours.

Did you also do the one "Thanks for the yacht"?

[Spiffarino]

48. I did one "yacht" billboard by request from another DUer

Eric J in MN has his own, too.

This one's mine:

[GreenPoet64]

21. Keep the scream! Dean should scream more! I think his

scream scares the hell out of them! :toast:

[Sugar Smack]

22. I love The Scream

When I saw the clip of The Scream, my heart absolutely LEAPT. Here was a candidate who was so packed with power, confidence, and unbridled joy that it was infectious. How could anyone not respond to that energy, especially after watching Fuckwit twitch, smirk, and mumble his way through his public appearances? Howard Dean is a MAN ON FIRE. He's alive. Plus...I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a little...melty...when I watched that power scream.:bounce:
:bounce:

[calimary]

37. Welcome to DU!

That's how I felt when I heard it. I thought - he's screaming for ME!

My heart still belongs to "Hollerin' Howard."

[Sugar Smack]

42. Thank you!!!

Dean's a man and a force of nature. If you have all that in you, you have to LET IT OUT! I see his enthusiasm and youthfulness having a bigger effect on people than any of the complacent, lofty bulls*hit you see from chimpy's ilk. ;-)

[sellitman]

41. Welcome to DU

There are many here who agree wholeheartedly with you.....including me.

[Sugar Smack]

43. Thank you, sellitman!

And here's one to you from me:


"YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Those MSM repubs who have issues with the Barbaric Yawp can kiss my fanny.



:P

[Spiffarino]

58. Welcome, Sugar

Have a good time but keep in mind that we aren't like Republicans at DU. We actually are allowed to disagree (not disrupt...there's a difference) and it can get pretty hot in here. It can also be highly addictive.

:toast:

[Spiffarino]

24. I know I'm being bad, but I had to do it

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

26. Take it back?

Let them have it.

[Spiffarino]

27. Sure

If you mean by "let them have it" we should throw it in their miserable faces.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

28. I mean

it's their fake bullshit. Let them create a ball of it by juggling it within their hands. And then let them admire the ball that they've made. And then let them build a temple to their fake ball of hand-juggled bullshit. And then stand off to the side and remark to yourself what "brain-dead simps" they are.

That's what I mean by "Let them have it."

[Spiffarino]

29. Wow...

I think I love your post.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

33. Perhaps a bit too pedestrian...

:shrug:

[Spiffarino]

46. Pedestrian? No!

Inspiring!

[Guaranteed]

65. I actually tend to agree. We've already "taken it back."

What we need to do now is just let them know how TIRED it is.

This is really pretty ridiculous.

[frictionlessO]

31. awesome! awesome! awesome! YEEEAAAAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Once a month or so at work (everyones a dem or liberal there), I do a serious Dean impression to rally them up!! It works, and its funny.

[Spiffarino]

50. "at work (everyones a dem or liberal there)"

Quick! Where should I send my resume??

[frictionlessO]

54. We be in Buffalo.

Also happen to be looking for a few good people at the moment.

[Spiffarino]

57. Dang. I'd love the cross-country skiing but...

...my wife is a dyed-in-the-wool Southern liberal Democrat. She'd kill me before she'd move where the Winters are...well, Winters.

:7

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

38. Okay, I'll give this a try

[Spiffarino]

47. THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

:toast:

[sellitman]

39. It's a pity...

That more of our "leaders" aren't screaming by now.

[yurbud]

40. every time pundit goofs on scream, ask them to do it correctly

If dems did that a couple of times, they'd shut up.

This would be especially useful on the Fox skanks. "You're right, Sean, I really screwed up that yell. Can you show me how to do it right?"

[Spiffarino]

49. LMAO!

Great idea!!

[VOX]

51. The Scream is the thing! It's a rallying call, a war cry, a victory shout!

The right wing can go to hell -- I just don't want them to take all the good and innocent people of the world with them.

The Dean Scream is a **very** positive thing, it's raging against the dying of the light! :thumbsup:

[KnowerOfLogic]

53. Nothing wrong w/ screaming about the Repugs. nt

[mopinko]

55. btw

the scream is my all purpose system noise on my computer. has been since the day after it happened.

[Spiffarino]

56. Mine too!

I use it on one of my PCs at work. Whenever I get email, people in the adjacent offices jump (and yes, they're Repubs).

Be afraid, boys...:evilgrin:

[elshiva]

60. LOL!

Scream, Scream, Scream,
Put another thread in the sewing machine
Get those Republicans Dr. Dean!

[txaslftist]

62. YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGHH !!!!

Take it to 'em, Doctor Dean!

[OnionPatch]

63. I'm with ya! I love the scream

and I love the way Randi Rhodes plays it all the time on her show.

Too bad I can't get it on my car horn. :)

[rocktivity]

64. CARPE SCREEUM--SIEZE THE SCREAM!

We can turn it from a loser's lament to a blueblood-curdling war whoop! WE'RE COMING AFTER YOU, GEORGIE! SIEZE THE SCREAM!

YEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHGHHHH!

:headbang:
rocknation

[Spiffarino]

66. Let's see how it looks on a sticker
