      Hey, this wasn’t me! I’m the one who made the “Electric Boogaloo” quip above, but not the “greed” remark!

  4. Aeterna on September 5th, 2008 at 7:02 am

    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.

    • Alex on September 5th, 2008 at 6:59 pm

      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.”

      • Matt on September 8th, 2008 at 8:27 am

        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!

    • Fedup on September 7th, 2008 at 9:04 am

      It’s “Morons” not “Morans” you “Moron”!

      • John on September 8th, 2008 at 3:35 am

        and there the irony lies..

    • Tish on October 2nd, 2008 at 10:55 am

      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

  7. Metalnoir on September 5th, 2008 at 8:33 am

    This made my day.

  8. BarbaraKB on September 5th, 2008 at 10:04 am

    I saw one that misspelled “Maverick” as “Mavrick.” Was this intentional? I really wonder… Why intentional? Gives the RNC buzz… like here!

    • joeSM on September 5th, 2008 at 2:26 pm

      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.

      It’s a bit pathetic to be certain..

      Right. I’m too busy cleaning my gun and practicing shootin’.

      Liberals are such fools.

      • LiberalShooter on October 3rd, 2008 at 8:28 pm

        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?

  10. Phillip on September 5th, 2008 at 10:56 am

    Right, and I’m sure none of you have ever spelt a word wrong before…please.

    • Chris on September 5th, 2008 at 11:14 am

      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.

      • john Riley on September 5th, 2008 at 5:23 pm

        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.

    • L on September 5th, 2008 at 12:36 pm

      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.

      • Jericho on September 6th, 2008 at 6:25 pm

        Isn’t it spelled:
        C ah?
        N ah?
        D ah?

    • worldvue on September 5th, 2008 at 4:23 pm

      Spelt is a grain.

  15. Dave Conrey on September 5th, 2008 at 12:40 pm

    That is freakin’ brilliant. I love it. I’m going to go make a t-shirt out of it.

  16. L on September 5th, 2008 at 12:41 pm

    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.

  17. Mike on September 5th, 2008 at 1:44 pm

    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.

  20. Andrew on September 5th, 2008 at 5:03 pm

    “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.

  21. Pol on September 5th, 2008 at 7:47 pm

    Anyone else see the “Mavrick” sign? It made me laugh so hard….

  22. Mojo on September 6th, 2008 at 8:56 am

    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?

  23. Lesley on September 6th, 2008 at 11:09 pm

    Proof that McCain’s platform needs to narrow it’s focus to BETTER EDUCATION.

    “FALE” – Um…..wait. ;-)

  24. Lesley on September 6th, 2008 at 11:10 pm

    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.

  25. Vincent on September 7th, 2008 at 12:14 am

    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’.

    • worldvue on September 7th, 2008 at 1:36 am

      Lighten up, Francis.

      • Lesley on September 7th, 2008 at 2:18 am

        I was going to say the same things to Vincent!

    • wolverieeeeeeeeeenes! on October 1st, 2008 at 8:14 pm

      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.

      What have you done for your country?

      • Anonymous on February 2nd, 2009 at 10:44 pm

        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.

      • LKM on August 9th, 2009 at 5:20 pm

        Well said (from another Veteran).

  26. Ginny on September 7th, 2008 at 3:41 pm

    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.

  27. Nate on September 7th, 2008 at 7:02 pm

    Is that bearded guy photoshopped in twice? Take a look at the guy holding the sign and the guy in the top right corner.

    FYI — These signs were painted by a bunch of middle school and high school students and passed out to the Delegates and Alternates.

  34. Starman on September 23rd, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    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.
