Any clever banner/poster ideas for a Cheney protest in Waco?
Cheney is coming to the Waco Hilton on April 10 at 10am for a fundraiser. Meeting tonight
to make banners and protest signs.

Any good ideas?

1. Maybe you could wave a white flag
and yell, "Don't shoot!" It's based on old news, yeah, but it was the first thing that popped into my head.

3. Thanks, but yes, that whole thing has turned into a joke that even he is
making fun of.

4. Take a picture of a hand flipping the bird
Then blow it up as big as you can and use it as a sign. That way, even the mouthbreathers know what you're trying to say.

"Cheney, the Other White Meat.."

Actually I think that there should be a movement going that everyone who shows up to protest Cheney should wear ORANGE, SHAME the hell out of him, a sea of Hunter's ORANGE everywhere he goes.

5. I can think of nothing more appropriate than what Dr. Ben Marble told him!
Edited on Sun Apr-02-06 09:28 AM by acmejack
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when he was waiting for his majesty's motorcade. The story goes like this:
snip>
Dr. Ben Marble, a young emergency room physician who plays in alternative rock bands and does art on the side, needs our help. Since he was the one who told Dick Cheney to "go fuck yourself" on Sept. 8, that's the least we can do.

Marble is a complex guy, to say the least. Some of the lyrics he writes can be considered harsh by some – personally what I've heard is very much on target - but he has a softer side as an organizer of breast cancer fund-raisers, not to mention an ER doctor.
snip>
As Marble explains, he was driving to his destroyed house Sept. 8 in Gulfport, Ms., when military police refused to allow him to cross a barricade that was about 200 feet from his home. They forced him to drive an extra 20 minutes and spend even more on gasoline.
snip>
After driving the extra 20 minutes and filming video of destruction along the way, he made it to his home. Marble overheard a neighbor say that Cheney was down the street talking to people. That's when he got the idea to go meet Dr. Evil himself.

As he stood about 10 feet away from Cheney and his friend and some camera operators from CNN and other media filmed the scene, Marble suddenly yelled, "Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney! Go fuck yourself, you asshole!"

So you see why I like this idea for a sign so very much!

13. Yes! Wish I had the nerve. What was even more remarkable, to
me, about that event was Cheney's reaction. He ever so smoothly brushed it off. It didn't bother him in the least ! This shows a lot about his demeanor and personality. He cares not one iota about what anyone thinks. A normal person would have had some reaction. A normal person does not like to be told to "go fuck yourself". This is apparent in his actions and policies - he doesn't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks. He still says there is wmd

7. The most clever 'sign' at our weekly protests:
This guy wears a white hat that says "NSA" on the bill. And he 'watches' the cars driving by with binoculars.

8. Well, how many birds did he kill on an improper license?
The Texas DNR should have been all over that. I'm not familiar with Texas law, but here (Md.) illegal killing is a per animal fine.

So, how about "Got a License for that?"

10. Something about Halliburton's feces-contaminated water he sold our troops
Cheney tells our troops to eat shit and die.

11. Why not quote Cheney himself?
His famous F*** Off remark always works.
