My favorite, seen at the 1/18 protest in DC:

**WHY YOU GOTTA BE ALL VIOLENT?**

These slogans aren’t that great, it’s the way they’re displayed that made me chuckle. I live near a well known local sex shop. As I walked past the other day I noticed the new display in their window. A collection of dildos in various sizes and colors carrying protest signs saying “More dick, less Cheney” and “Don’t hate, masturbate”.

I have seen a handful of signs bearing a large Mercedes logo (presumably in place of the Peace sign). I’m guessing that it wasn’t done intentionally.

I wonder if he knew that Orwell wrote _1984_ as a warning about the left.

I like “Regime Change Begins At Home!”

(Oh, and on **Shirley Ujest’s** “Give Peas a Chance” front, I once spotted a bumper sticker that read, “Visualize Whirled Peas.”)

“Bush, Blair, CIA, How Many Kids Have You Killed Today?”

“Who let the bombs out? Bush! Blair! Sharon”

“Who’s a terrorist? Bush is a terrorist! Who’s a terrorist? Sharon is a terrorist!” etc etc

“We all live in a facist regime, a facist regime, a facist regime” (to the tune of yellow submarine!)

Demonstration in Hyde Park, London, 2/15. I saved the Yahoo page with the picture. It was a joke, but if he meant it as a joke, probably not the same one.

Got a cite?

Even though the party in _1984_ was socialist, Orwell was one as well. I always interpreted those facts as meaning that _1984_ was a warning against totalitarianism in all its forms, including, but not limited to, the possibility of socialism begetting a totalitarian state.

Actually, during Vietnam, the quote was “Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.”

I guess with a dumbing down and deskilling of the population, one has to use more graphic word these days to achieve the same response.
