More Posters

Well, at least one good thing has come out of the whole Swift Boat Veterans thing...it got my creative juices flowing. I created some new Bush-Cheney posters that draw prominently from the high-minded tactics of the Bush family. Going back at least to Papa's use of Willie Horton, the Bush family has shown their proclivity and skill for gutter politics. Well, right back at ya:



Character AssasinationWho's Next?
Hiding Behind OthersShameless
I realize that my quaint little posters can't compare to the shamelessness of a moral coward who has the temerity to send others to his fight wars -- not once, but twice! -- and then has the gall to question (or at least not condemn the baseless questioning) of those who fought in his place. Alas, try as I might, I just can't compete with someone who wields fear as a political weapon and uses terrorist attacks as tools to further his narrow agenda. Satire is hardly effective against someone for whom truth is malleable and, ultimately, optional.




Fear And Smear
Politicizing Terror
Fear
Fabricacting Truth By Repetition
MistakesPromoting Alzheimer's
For you disaffected Republicans out there, please feel free to print out and use any of these posters at next week's Republican National Convention. My guess is that, although meant as satire, Bush would proudly let at least one of the posters above in the door.
