Note to wingnuts: just because you believe the president is illegitimate doesn’t mean you get to stop paying your taxes. This comes from Oliver Willis:
“Vote out incumbents” is a not new meme, and it’s a rather Orwellian one. As we’ve seen in the NY-23 race, the phrase lends a veneer of non-partisanship to an effort at pulling the GOP rightwards. But what I find most telling is the phrase, “A citizens guide to revolution of a corrupt government” — not against a corrupt government, but of it. Like so much teabagger propaganda, the message is incoherently seditious.
There seems to be a bumper crop of stupid billboards these days. Here’s one that compounds birtherism with post-Fort Hood paranoia:
Phil Wolf told ThinkProgress that he doesn’t think the president has proven his citizenship. A “moran” of the first order, his own birth certificate probably says “certificate of live birth.” As a businessman, he’s far more likely to die in an armed robbery by crystal meth addicts than a terrorist incident. But why let facts get in the way of fear, especially when you’re afraid the government will lower your health care costs?
