Subject by I-75
The attached photo is of a billboard recently established on I-75 just south of Lake City . A group gathered there today to celebrate its unveiling. The cost
of 10 months rental of the billboard and doing the artwork was $6500. We feel that is a reasonable cost to reach out to 1,000,000 vehicles per month
and perhaps motivate their participation in the electoral process to get our country on a sound footing.
Pass this on to those I missed!!

Liberals?
What liberals are these morons referring to?
Do they mean people who oppose torture,
domestic spying, deregulation of corporations,
and whose attitude in a national crisis is "we're
all in this together" rather than the conservative
credo of "I've got mine, so fuck the rest of you"?
Those liberals?
Yeah, by all means, vote those bastards out.
Brought to you by brainwashed lemmings who think Sarah Palin is "smart," and who listen ONLY to rightwing corporately-paid whores RushBilloGlennSean, who have been endlessly proven factually incorrect, as well as racist bigoted sexist creeps.
But as we all know, FACTS have a liberal bias, so yeah, rightists: go right ahead and vote against your own interests as usual. That's why this country is in the mess it's in. Thanks for being so gullible, easily led, and bigoted. Great job you're doing there.
PS Where the hell is Lake City? In backwoods rednickville hicksilvanyia?
hmmmm... approx 35 hicks in Lake City, FL show up for this great unveiling. It's towards the northern part of FL. Probably populated by a bunch of white retirees who got theirs, so eff the rest of everyone (esp the darkies, who should know their place). Probably the billboard is paid for by some rightwing think tank backed by the likes of the Scaifes or Kochs. Ho-humm...
NOW it's personal? Where were these tools during the years of the W admin? Probably dead asleep in front of Fake "Nooz."
Can't wait to get these shitheads in front of a death panel.
Yeah, every state should have one so I know which areas of the state to avoid.
$6500? I hope not *too* much of that went into artwork design, since it looks like a printout of one of their email forwards.
And by the way, if you happen to live in this area, some cans of spray paint would only cost around $50.
It is interesting that most comments seem to represent that "open-minded", politically correct crowd, who will not acknowledge the failures of this administration or congress but have no reluctance to trash others.
Liberal hypocrisy is certainly not exaggerated.
When will you understand that Obama is just like W; he is a face on the party he reps for, that group of Democrat insiders who, just as in the Republican party, hide behind the curtain and pull levers like the wizard of Oz, while the current "face" dances their tune.
W was not bright enough to plan a Wall St bailout...he was directed by party insiders to give to "Friends of", and Obama will do the same thing.
Everybody needs to realize that Dems and Republicans have brought us to this sad point, and All these entrenched idealogs who serve only the political expedient should be sent packing.
Until EVERY elected official is term limited, until we end family political fiefdoms, until these sorry spendthrifts, liars, and crooks no longer hold office, and until they who are elected are forced to live under the same laws, programs and regulations we live under, with the identical same benefits and no more, we will see this played out again and again.
When you vote next, try looking over the entire slate of candidates, not just "your" party; look at Indies, Libertarians, if you are left wing look right, if you are right wing, look left.
Remember, one definition of insanity is the contiue doing what has been done, and expecting a different outcome.
Rampant use of ellipses, multiple fonts, American flag icons, use of different colors, yup. Looks like a right-wing forward to me, only this time...IN 3D!!!!!!!11!!
At least these folks are honest about only wanting to kick the Democrats out. So much for "vote out all incumbents in 2010!"
[L]ook at Indies, Libertarians, if you are left wing look right, if you are right wing, look left.
How cute, you think Democrats are actually a left-leaning party.
Your post would make more sense for one of the e-mails that isn't specifically angry old white Republicans complaining about the "liberal" threat.
"Liberal hypocrisy is certainly not exaggerated."
After over 20 years of reactionary hypocritical
bullshit that has literally harmed this country,
this is how you try to get the attention of the
lefties here?
Fail.
I love how the person holding the "No Gov Health" sign looks like a 75-year old medicare recipient.
I recently asked my health insurance rep how much my 75 yo RWD would pay for private insurance that is identical to Medicare (just for grins). The answer.: Older people who don't qualify for medicare (foreigners, I guess) CAN'T BUY IT for any price....morans
"Everybody needs to realize that Dems and Republicans have brought us to this sad point, and All these entrenched idealogs who serve only the political expedient should be sent packing."
Anon makes some ok points, but it's not really particularly relevant to the content of the post, which is a photo of a bunch of angry white people blaming all the ills of society on "liberals."
I don't totally disagree with Anon's basic "thesis" that both Dems & Republics are responsible for the sorry state of our nation, and I suspect that a good few of those who post here see that as well.
However, this site is devoted to reading and reviewing right-wing forwards that definitely get passed around (most of us have received some of these screeds, ourselves). The fact is that nearly all of these RWFs are so fulla crap, plus they consistently blame Dems or liberals for all the ills of everything.
This has been the conservative/ rightwing game for many decades now, so we're just in the mood to debunk this crap and get on with it.
If you think we're rude & stupid, then you're sadly mistaken. And speaking for myself, I don't give the Dems much credit, either. But it's highly unlikely that you're going to see left-wing forwards of a similar nature (where the right is constantly blamed for everything and made to look evil) on an ongoing basis. It doesn't happen.
The phenomenon that we're addressing here is that of rightwing forwards... why are they out there so consistently and constantly. And have a look through the archive to see how mean-spirited they are. Double dog dare you to do that.
It's easy to make fun of us as if we're not looking at all sides of the issue. We do. But we're sick and tired of the rightwing media and the rightwing noise machine which does a pretty damn good job at demonizing liberals constantly.
So if we here point and mock, or debunk, or rant about RWF - in what seems like a one-sided manner - woo hoo. Go turn on your tv & radio or read your newspapers and tell me just how much "real" liberal/progressive info is out there. Go ahead: dare you. Not much at all.
On this blog, I don't feel a big compunction about being fair. Take a look at all of this sick junk that gets sent around daily. Please. Spare me the moralizing, unless you're going also go preach to the conservatives, teabaggers and libertarians, which I doubt.
But I definitely & seriously give you some props for writing clearly and arguing persausively for your point of view. Honestly, that's a good thing. Too many conservatives come here and kind of babble (not trying to be mean, but I don't know how else to characterize it). So, again, thanks for writing intelligently. That's nice for a change.
I agree w/ferschitz. Anon has some points, and I am also not totally thrilled with Dems by any stretch, and on other blogs, I am constructively critical.
And we liberals are "treated" to a steady stream of demonizing and invective by the rightwing media, especially the "big names," like Rush & Glenn. Plus stick around to see all of the really sickening, nasty racist shit that gets sent out quite frequently by the RWF machine. It's disgusting.
So spare me the sermon about we liberals are not "tolerant" or "open-minded" enough. Until conservatives really start to show tolerance, open-mindedness, thoughtfulness and a truly democratic approach to society and government, I don't think there's any cause to diss this tiny little blog. Unfair? spare me the victimizing, but typically rightwing, stand. Boo hoo.
If you can't stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen. If you want to contribute: then fine.
As much as some of you may want to live in denial, this photo is finding its way across the nation as it echoes the sentiments of millions of Americans who are fed up with liberal trashing of the constitution, our country, and the citizens thereof. This may seem like a small effort; one billboard, a few people. One picture has spoken a thousand words - and then some. Read it and weep.
@ WBCA
Please explain: in what ways have the Consitution, country and its citizens been "trashed" by liberals?
Will you require the use of a chalkboard?
I just drove by this billboard and a few others like it on my way home from Orlando. I was so pleased to know where my liberal money wasn't welcome. It was no trouble at all to drive another hour before lunch.....
look at Indies, Libertarians, if you are left wing look right, if you are right wing, look left.
But, as the billboard says, only vote out the liberals, right?
