Title: Be a good munchkin now
Post by: alfsauve on August 20, 2009, 07:09:59 AM: Display the party symbol

Regardless of your stand on the current health care debate, this is a little scary.

Here's the latest from the supreme leader...You are encouraged to "display" your support. On this web page there is a link which will help you add the "official" party symbols to your web page.

Including this nifty little symbol.

What is it about this design that disturbs me?

OK, understand that I recognize that hacking web sites is very wrong, very very wrong!

But still, it would be funny to learn that someone did hack http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/health-care-action-center/ and replaced his lame ass swastika stand-in with this picture, no?
