These are protestors from the Kerry/Edwards midnight rally in Ohio.

Welcome to DU, kid! I think you're in for a nice, long stay...

1. I is a college student!

:hi: Although they will probably defend it saying it's a play on four more years.

4. Why didn't the idiot use "4" which would've been oh-so-much-better?

Who are these 'morans?'

Sheesh.

21. He should have used quotation marks, then, instead of an underline

Edited on Fri Sep-03-04 07:54 PM by rocknation

As in: Bush "Four" President. Then we would have known not to take it literally.

So he's guilty of either not knowing how to spell or not knowing how to punctuate.

20. When I first saw it on the Dayton Daily News website...

... I had to blink a few times to be sure I was reading that orange sign correctly!

If he was going for effect, he should've tried "BUSH '4' PRESIDENT!"

Dumbass. :-)

14. Yup

I was there--I shook hands and spoke with John Kerry for exactly 3.4 seconds. He saw my Wittenberg shirt, asked what I studied, and said great. It was so cool. I also loved when our county commissioner, a man who was paralysed in Vietnam when a sniper shot him in the back, held up his Purple Heart and praised those who have been injured in combat.

I was in the blue ticket area and had great views and took great photos.

18. Maybe... she ALWAYS wears a straw hat to rallies!

She decorates them... it's the cutest thing. I'm not sure what kind of hat she was wearing last night!

Here's her account of the rally you both attended, from early this morning:

There are some more threads in the DU Ohio Forum, too.

28. Damn - I saw her too

I saw two ladies in straw hats who got whisked into the "other" blue area right in front while standing at the front of the baricade.

I didn't see the DU sign.

Sigh. I wish I could have given her a big hug.

end of the rally? It's amazing how many veterans are coming out in support. The grumbling is for real. :hi:

31. Not enough white people in that photo, IMHO

reminds me of the one in the paper the other day, of the Hawaiian delegation at the RNC, doing a conga line.

IIRC, Hawaii has an east Asian and Pacific islander population of over 50% these days. How many were in that conga line? NONE. NADA. Every last damned one of them was WHITE.

As the saying goes: "Vote Republican-- it's easier than THINKING"

32. it's a deliberate pun

It's underlined. Also, "four/for/fore" are rarely confused, like "their/there/they're". It strikes me as a smug but legit pun. Although they are smarmy and ignorant twits, this is not Morans Redux, unfortunately.

35. Such a spoilsport, you are.

Edited on Sat Sep-04-04 01:09 PM by VolcanoJen

:P

Yes, yes, luckily, we all know what he intended to say. But he failed to say it. He is clearly not a master of puns. Next time, instead of underlining, he should try "four," or even "4" which would be so much funnier*!

Also, and I'm nitpicking here, Bush is already the President.

Probably not morans redux (although 60 days out, I have a feeling it will emerge), but still worthy of pointing and laughing.

I do love the word "smarmy", by the way. :D

* not really.

37. I will say this

You're a good sport about me being a spoilsport. ;-)

And there is never a shortage of adjectives I can throw around to describe Young College Nazis. Any thing which begins with 'sm-':

Smarmy
Smug
Small-minded
Smirky

Or "sn-":

Snotty
Snide
Snookered
Snarky

And I sure hope we do get a few more 'moran' signs spotted - because I am tired of that guy's star-spangled mullet. :P

33. Hate to say it

And I'm by no means sticking up for a Bush supporter

But the word is spelled "moron". I've bitten my tongue for weeks repeatedly seeing it misspelled but when you call someone a moron for their signage and misspell your insult, it kinda loses something.

34. we misspell it on purpose

Because this guy misspelled it by ignorance:

It's a DU inside joke to deliberately misspell 'moron'. What the original poster was saying is that the new pic is a sequel of sorts to the pic I posted.

That being said, I have to agree with the dissenters who see the new sign as just a dumb pun.

"Moran" is sort of an inside joke around here.

This is the "moran" we're referring to. He's become such institution here at DU, we use "moran" when "moron" would actually be a compliment!
