Certainly not the name of my country! Definitely not on a sign that I painted for a convention that I was passionate about. Nope, this guy is a dunce, case closed.
Sure, I’ve misspelled words. But not on a sign. Painting a sign takes a few minutes, and if you’re staring at “Ameirca” for a few minutes and you don’t notice that something’s wrong…
I’ve never spelled my country’s name wrong. But, to be fair, it only has six letters (instead of seven). That makes a lot easier. Candaa. I mean… Cadnaa. I mean… Cndaaa. Oh, to hell with it. I live up nroth.
I’m sure it was on purpose. At least the Mavrick sign was, so I’m sure this one was probably too. The Mavrick sign came up right when they were talking about adult literacy.
Unless things have changed in the last 20 years, those signs are painted by teenagers/students in some staging area and then brought to the floor and passed through the crowd. Both sides do it that way. This guy was unfortunate enough to have gotten one painted by someone from the short bus, however.
According to the NPR coverage, all the ‘hand-made’ signs were made up by the RNC and passed out to people. I didn’t hear anything about it during the DNC, so I’m not sure if that’s just standard practice these days or what.
“those signs are painted by teenagers/students in some staging area and then brought to the floor and passed through the crowd”
So Mike, if you were given this sign you would you hold it up for the world to see or throw is back and not have a sign. No sign is much better than looking like you are an idiot.
What is even worse is that they guy is not at fault! The “hand-made” signs were handed out by operatives at the convention, just like the printed ones. I read a report where the reporter commented on seeing them handed out. I guess it was supposed to look more grass-roots or something.
Wow. Just, wow. I JUST read an article about the 8 most obnoxious internet commenters and the ones who say ‘Fake’ or ‘Photoshopped’ topped the list… What the hell?
Are these the same guys responsible for projecting the photograph of Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, California behind McCain at the convention, when what they wanted to show was Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, DC?
Yes, misspelling a word does seem to be more important than embracing a party whose core philosophy is socialism. A party full of ‘useful idiots’ who in the 80’s were apologists for the USSR and seemed to hate Reagan more than the Soviets. A party whose members criticize a sitting President while on foreign soil and are quick to call United States Marines murderers and quick to capitalize on any misfortune we suffer in war. I guess if it were up to you useful idiots, the correct spelling for our country would be ‘AmeriKa’.
Sweet, I didn’t know a single spelling mistake defined the amount of stupidity of an entire political party. You learn something new every day, I guess.
Vincent, check these facts out: Thomas Jefferson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy… All democrats.
Plenty more out there who love this country too. I am not a Marine, I am Army; MOS 11A. Soon to be deployed to Iraq. I grew up in the 80s, I loved Rambo, GI Joe and that movie: Red Dawn. I believe in the constitution, I believe in freedom, I believe in the USA. I am NOT a republican.
So, I am basically saying that I will do whatever it takes to make sure that we stay free. I chose to back up my words with action. You sir, worry me. In my humble opinion, I believe that accusing all members of a major American political party of collaborating with a perceived enemy is ignorant at best, borderline Fascist.
Do not make sweeping generalizations about a group of people. Do not demonize a perfectly legitimate US political party. I urge you to respect our freedoms, political system and the diverse viewpoints of the citizens of this country. After all, these are the things that make USA something worth fighting for.
What if I were to tell you that I vote for democrats all the time? Would that alter your perceptions? Would it force you to expand your narrow definition of the people in the democratic party? I would hope so, but I sincerely doubt it. I assume you would call me an ignorant fool, misguided for voting for these pinko commie lovers.
Whatever retort you may have for me. My response will be this:
I took an oath that I will uphold with my life. If needs be I will take part in aggressive, extreme violence to defend the constitution of the United States. I may kill fellow human beings, I may see my friends die horrible deaths, I may become maimed and disabled. If I have to, I will make the ultimate sacrifice for this country. None of these things I wish to do, but I will because I know there are close to 300,000,000 people who need me to do this. Some of them do not agree with my political views, and others do.
MORONS, learn to spell. Democrat or Republican, you are an American and you make us all look stupid when you can’t even figure out how to use spell-check. Or -novel idea, I know- a dictionary
Shouldn’t you always vote based on the candidate who’s views closely coincide with your own? I’ve always thought straight ticket voting on any political party was pretty narrow minded. Thank you for your service.
This is delicious in so, so, so many ways.
Oh so true. So true.
If Obama wins, and I think he will, you will see just how strong we are. Prepare to learn Russian asshats.
It’s Cold War II: Electric Boogaloo!
we have become a victim of our own greed.
Give the guy some slack … that’s probably exactly how he pronounces it.
… no, it turns out I can’t say that with a straight face.
Am[backwards 3]irca? WTH?
Get a brain, Morans.
Lol
This made my day.
I saw one that misspelled “Maverick” as “Mavrick.” Was this intentional? I really wonder… Why intentional? Gives the RNC buzz… like here!
It’s because book-learnin’ is for those fancy pants liberals with all their Idears and what not.
Right, and I’m sure none of you have ever spelt a word wrong before…please.
Killadog that was the funniest thing i’ve read in weeks.
Certainly not the name of my country! Definitely not on a sign that I painted for a convention that I was passionate about. Nope, this guy is a dunce, case closed.
Spelling is for the Elite
Heck yes! My mouth is watering.
Dyslexic?
Either way he’s just one guy…
That’s the great thing about Amerika. You can spell it any way you want to.
Atomic Bugaboo!
Hey, this wasn’t me! I’m the one who made the “Electric Boogaloo” quip above, but not the “greed” remark!
Wow. Irony?
Sure, I’ve misspelled words. But not on a sign. Painting a sign takes a few minutes, and if you’re staring at “Ameirca” for a few minutes and you don’t notice that something’s wrong…

That is freakin’ brilliant. I love it. I’m going to go make a t-shirt out of it.
I’m sure it was on purpose. At least the Mavrick sign was, so I’m sure this one was probably too. The Mavrick sign came up right when they were talking about adult literacy.
ABC’s Terry Moran?

It’s a bit pathetic to be certain..

Georgia, US, and Israel attacked get your facts straight
The Russians? Thank Mr. Republican. Go sit your ass down. That chapter is over…. Idiot.
No problem, Learning second languages is easier for Democrats than Republicans - we’re just smarter then you guys.
Spelt is a grain.
Photoshopped.
“We’re just smarter THEN you guys.”

This is a reference to a previous post on the blog, which if I remember correctly, featured a man holding a sign saying exactly “Get a brain, morans.”
Anyone else see the “Mavrick” sign? It made me laugh so hard….
What’s “Russian asshats,” a dance or something?
Isn’t a Russian asshat called a fez?
That’s about right.

Isn’t it spelled:
C ah?
N ah?
D ah?
Canadia, eh.
Proof that McCain’s platform needs to narrow it’s focus to BETTER EDUCATION.
“FALE” - Um…..wait.
Oh. Nice. And I get GRAMMAR FAIL” for “it’s.”
Please accept my martini as an excuse for bad grammar.
That would be ITS focus. Durrrrr.

Lighten up, Francis.
I was going to say the same things to Vincent!
It’s “Morons” not “Morans” you “Moron”!
Cracked!
Sweet, I didn’t know a single spelling mistake defined the amount of stupidity of an entire political party. You learn something new every day, I guess.
Is that bearded guy photoshopped in twice? Take a look at the guy holding the sign and the guy in the top right corner.
and there the irony lies..
Indeed! If you click the bolded words, you will all find yourselves magically whisked away to that very photo, courtesy the majesty of the internet!

Obomination, Still sucks bananas.
Right. I’m too busy cleaning my gun and practicing shootin’.
Liberals are such fools.
Bloomin’ idiots. How many are gay?
Wow, your really have no idea about whats going on in the world do you…..
Mmmmm. Russian asshats.
FYI — These signs were painted by a bunch of middle school and high school students and passed out to the Delegates and Alternates.
This is way too funny. But you have to admit, it got a lot of attention. Might not be the right way but hey it worked.
it is than :/

I don’t know why I read all these comments.
You should follow my lead and post replies like this….
LOL

No, I don’t shoot liberals, I shoot and am a liberal. How is that contradictory? I just don’t get it. Could someone please explain?

I agree with anon…I have no clue why I read all those damn comments…
