My favourite, without a doubt, read:

“Lesbians Against Bush”

Not sure they thought that one through…

This isn’t as clever as the ones posted here, but I like it:

Instead of all those “NO TO WAR IN IRAQ,” I saw a girl with a sign on her jacket that said “YES TO PEACE WITH IRAQ.” Sounds a lot more positive than the NO statement.

I’m also fond of the t-shirt that has a picture of Dubya with the words “INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST” underneath. That ruffles a few feathers; hell, it might even get you kicked out of a mall…

So, just as an exercise, how do you think Al Gore would’ve reacted to 9/11? Would we be measurably better off?

Slogans from the protests in Austin, TX, during SXSW ranged from

funny:  
“The last time people listened to a Bush, they ended up wandering the desert for 40 years.”

to inane:  
“If you hate the French, stop kissing”

to just plain dumb:  
various comparisons of the Bush Administration to the Nazis.

I wasn’t there for the protests, but it was rather entertaining to witness them.

HAH.

And this is priceless:

Me like.

> [@](#):

> “Lesbians Against Bush”

If I could put this on the back of my van and not have people misread it thinking I am a light in my loafers, I’d do it in a heart beat…or better yet, put it on the back of someone else’s car …Heh.  
and now my pathetic cribbed contribution:

\*\* Stop the Violins  
Give Peas a chance. \*\*

First of all I think its agreed that the war on Iraq has little or NOTHING to do with 9/11.

Secondly, such a exercise would obviously be impossible, considering the number of variables.

Damn it, you stole my favorite. It _had_ to be meant facetiously, or else humanity truly is decending into stupidity…oh, wait, I guess your question still does stand.
