3. Time to mount a boycott of Clearchannel advertisers!
If you agree, kick this thread.
Please listen to a Clearchannel station in your area and tell us who's advertising and supporting this garbage! Let's send them the photos and ask them to yank sponsorships.

19. See what I mean: Nazi posters
http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/posters2.htm

I know some don't like the comparison, but it seems apt to me.

"Be true to the fuhrer."

Other slogans in posters:
"The Reich will never be destroyed if you are united and loyal."
"One battle, one will, one goal: Victory at any cost!"
"Adolf Hitler is victory!"
"One People, One Reich, One Führer."

22. It's time to stop being polite....
and start comparing this administration to the 3rd reich that it is trying to replace.

23. The comparison is certainly apt.
It took Hitler many, many years. Bush & Co. have just begun.

7. Well, it seems that second one was paid for by a private group...
Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 12:08 AM by high density
But that Viacom-owned billboard is really interesting given that their CBS TV network has refused to air that liberal church ad.

11. That's why I wrote "Clear Channel, etc."
Edited on Fri Dec-03-04 12:17 AM by For PaisAn
If you click on the link there are several groups putting up these billboards. It's just sickening. And you make a very interesting point about Viacom and CBS.

15. By the way...there is no such group called "Arizona Citizens"
and the telephone number is an unused cell-phone number....someone at Viacom is being entirely honest!

9. Okay this is starting to skeeve me out...
I'm going to start trying to raise money to out up a few billboards around the greater orlando and Ocala area here in FL :

Ignorance and Arrogance is bad foreign policy
Love Thy First Ammendment
An america flag pic with the statement these colors don't run the world..
Audit the Vote

All taken from Evolvefish so I would have to ask them for permission first of course.

If I had enough bake sales and yard sales and sold of some of my excess book inventory I could do it..

12. Great counter billboard ideas
These, after the "Our Leader" billboard, are just too much to stand.

25. a lot
I can tell you we had a really old contract for one that was on our property for a long time - they paid us 600 a year, but like I said it was old and in the middle of nowhere - a big new one in the city is probably that a day.

33. I considered that
But these billboards or pretty lit up and in a busy section of I-4 so there is about a 99% chance I would get arrested for defacing private property.
It would be in the news and the repugs would be able to complain about how unreasonable and destructive dems are..

I'm thinking positive here :)

29. It's not just Clear channel!
that second picture is a Viacom billboard. This means we have two major billboard companies against us.

34. Is there any law against putting up a billboard of your own on your own
private property?

Any DU'ers have some nice roadside property with just enough room for a billboard? If you do, say so. We can all chip in for wood, hammers, nails, etc. :evilgrin:
