Mysterious ACORN Protest Sign Raises More Questions Than It Answers

by Sara K. Smith  2:04 pm April 15, 2009

Lolwut, indeed.“obfuscator” sends word from the Baggers Convention in beautiful Springfield, Illinois, “on the very steps of the same capitol building which served as the the launchpad for Barry Hussein Nobama’s political career or was that William Ayers’ terrorfag breakfast nook? Lolwut. Enjoy. (There was also a guy wearing a sandwich board that simply said ‘BUY GUNS’. He was handing out dvds that ‘explain how the government is trying to kill us’. I was scared to photograph him oh well.)” Thank you obfuscator for nearly getting murdered by a gun nut!

Didn’t Rev. Wright get Barry in trouble for explaining how the government was trying to kill black people?

Dave J. April 15, 2009 at 2:08 pm

Clearly that is a nuclear explosion, meaning that once BarUHk NoBama gets off his teleprompter he will let ACORN sign peace treaties with North Korea and the ChiComs to nuke us, obviously.

Monsieur Grumpe April 15, 2009 at 2:09 pm

It makes perfect sense to me. Acorns are from trees. Trees are used to make paper. Paper is used to print money. Money is used to buy acorns. See?

skerns April 15, 2009 at 2:11 pm

I guess she (he?) missed the part in elementary school when they taught you that money isn’t made of paper. Of course if they really wanted to save the trees, they could’ve refrained from making that sign.

Custerwolf April 15, 2009 at 2:13 pm

I thought it was an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

SayItWithWookies April 15, 2009 at 2:14 pm

We’re saving acorns now, instead of outlawing their threat to capitalism? Damn, this economics stuff is hard.

Joey Ratz April 15, 2009 at 2:14 pm

I first though that was a nuclear ‘shroom-cloud. Of course, that makes no sense whatsoever (“ACORN comes from nukes”???), but neither do these idiots.

The Legend of Teabagger Stance!

octupletsmom April 15, 2009 at 2:15 pm

You are so brave. I would be scare of them all.

Gorillionaire April 15, 2009 at 2:17 pm

[re=290180]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: Then you put the acorns in your nose. That’s the last step.

Min April 15, 2009 at 2:17 pm

And while you’re at it, kill lots and lots of squirrels, preferably with your big honkin’ Second Amendment Special assault rifle, because those sneaky little bastards love the acorns. Oh, yes, they do.

bricks April 15, 2009 at 2:17 pm

Wait, acorns come from a stalk of broccoli, I totally get that part, but-

how do you NOT print dollar signs?

Is there a cursive version my public school never told me about?

Dr. Spaceman April 15, 2009 at 2:17 pm

Local Teabagging cadre at the psot office (wtf?): three white oldsters, mom with bored looking teen aged son, and possibly homeless woman. But local news was there, the message is out! Lipton!

magic titty April 15, 2009 at 2:20 pm

ACORNs come from smokestacks in New Jersey?

AngryBlakGuy April 15, 2009 at 2:22 pm

…is he wearing a Krispy Kreme box?!?! These guys are fukking mental!

Internally valid April 15, 2009 at 2:24 pm

Trees also come from ACORNS. Therefore Obama is a communist nazi who will kill your children if his Chinese overlords tell him to on his Telepromtr. It is the circle of life. That’s just science.

Gallowglass April 15, 2009 at 2:25 pm

A breathtaking work of staggering ignorance. I wonder if he knows paper money is printed on cotton, not wood pulp. Probably not.

I do like now he over-estimated the size of his sign when he was painting it on the floor of mom’s basement last night. Now it appears to be an advertisement for ACORN with an anti-inflationary slogan crammed in the corner, rather than some Paultardian gold standard bullshit.

shortsshortsshorts April 15, 2009 at 2:25 pm

ACORNS COME FROM BILL REZKO AYERS TONY.

Yaybuls April 15, 2009 at 2:25 pm

Almost as random as the “Bring Back Elvis” sign I was carrying at the inauguration. Almost.

Gallowglass April 15, 2009 at 2:28 pm

[re=290199]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Not mental, just mad efficient. It holds your breakfast AND doubles as a picket sign.

This image does somewhat weaken the assertion that this movement is a product of the super-slick Republican National Committee’s marketing juggernaught. Cuz I think even Michael Steele could make a better sign than that one.

Woodwards Friend April 15, 2009 at 2:32 pm

Naturally all teabaggers over the age of 62 spend their Social Security checks back every month.

The wingnut doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Scarab April 15, 2009 at 2:35 pm

Didn’t Nathan Hale wear that exact sign in 1776?

Atheist Nun April 15, 2009 at 2:36 pm

It’s good that these teabaggers have a clear, singular message to focus all their hate on.

Gopherit April 15, 2009 at 2:38 pm

http://transview.org/cams/Presidio/ – See the tens of people who turned out for the Tucson protest.

SmutBoffin April 15, 2009 at 2:38 pm

This is obviously a post-structuralist critique of the underlying meta-narrative for Barry Obama’s imposition of nut-, drupe-, and legume-based economic policies. This is just how fellows at the Brookings Institution goes about publishing their work.

CorkPopper April 15, 2009 at 2:38 pm

[re=290204]Gallowglass[/re]: Cotton/linen combo, actually. Which if I’m remembering my Deuteronomy right is an abomination. Maybe it’s an ultra-Orthodox protestor? Layers upon layers of meaning…I’ve been misunderestimating these Paultarandians.

TeddyS April 15, 2009 at 2:39 pm

No! NO! You anti-religious squidfaced lefty! Acorns come from God! And the Bible says, “Only teh God can make a tree.” (Ludicrous 14:3). Why do you hate America and love the pirates?

youknew April 15, 2009 at 2:47 pm

Will someone please check out Stormfront for me? Or take some pictures of those clowns at one of these Teabag things? They’re supposed to be there. I’d like to know what’s going on. And the more pictures of those guys at these events we get circulating around, the better.

Lazy Media April 15, 2009 at 2:56 pm

[re=290264]youknew[/re]: Stormfront has a sad. “Unconquerable” posts: Re: April 15 Tea Party
Ok, I went, it was a total waste. Just a bunch of middle aged to old couples who appeared to be fairly well to do standing around. Nobody hardly even talked to one another.

My speculations were correct, taxes aren’t a driving enough issue to go anywhere.

Now, race mixin’, that’ll turn out a crowd. Especially if it’s participatory race mixin’. HOTT.

Mad Farmer Manifest April 15, 2009 at 3:12 pm

[re=290226]Gopherit[/re]: They are almost all super chunky. And bored. And seemingly unaware that we just had an election a few months ago. And I saw Legalize Cannabis signs held by persons who are a little OT.

youknew April 15, 2009 at 3:30 pm

[re=290286]Lazy Media[/re]: Thanks!! I’m at work and can’t go there now. I do go there for entertainment purposes. They are hilarity. I say that as a black woman from the south.

youknew April 15, 2009 at 3:31 pm

[re=290286]Lazy Media[/re]: Also, nice to know they dislike olds too.

Mustang April 15, 2009 at 4:12 pm

When money is illegal, only trees will have acorns.

Zadig April 15, 2009 at 4:26 pm

[re=290286]Lazy Media[/re]: MSNBC has caught some footage of dudes stone cold goose-stepping around one of the parties. I look forward to seeing a zillion Confederate flags somehow worked into the Memphis Tea Party when I go down there to piss them off.

HuddledMass April 15, 2009 at 4:30 pm

[re=290199]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Wait, that’s a guy? I think NOT.

I believe that is my sister-in-law… she’s got a white jacket, idiot political opinions, and is about five feet wide.

Gallowglass April 15, 2009 at 4:34 pm

[re=290232]CorkPopper[/re]: Wow, I never thought about that. We may have to stone the Treasury for this, but only after I finish paying my neighbor back for the time my donkey kicked his slave in the head and killed him. Naturally, menstruating women and post-nocturnal emission men will have to abstain, as they are in their period of ritual uncleanliness.

Snerdley April 15, 2009 at 8:46 pm

Saving trees, will save Paper. Money is made from paper. Acorns come from trees. Therefore, saving trees will save acorns, paper and money. Also more evidence that god is the creator. Therefore, also, too.
