From the desk of Jane Galt:Counterprotest Chic
Tee-hee! I had so much fun watching the protesters on television and remembering my days back at the Socialist Union that I decided to make myself some counterprotest gear:
Update InstaPundit asks where you get a t-shirt. Why, right at the cool CafePress store!

Posted by: markm on January 19, 2003 1:52 PMPutting blame on the offender? That... that's rational!
And ergo repellant to any participant in the peace rallys.
You were with the Socialist Union? Is there a story here I've missed? Do you have any articles referring to those days?
Posted by: Kevin on January 19, 2003 5:58 PMYah, this is good dirt that Kevin asks about.
Zeal of the converted 'n all. ::grin::

Posted by: Brian on January 19, 2003 10:14 PMDear Jane,
If you're against proliferation, did
you make any signs calling on the administration
to greatly increase funding for non-proliferation
efforts?
The GOP isn't willing to spend much money on efforts to control the nuclear materials that are already out there. I think the last big event, a huge move of nuclear material from Yugoslavia to
safer storage in Russia, was funded by a *private
donor*.
One should be consistent.

Very nice. :-) The fact that slogan-bedecked panties are being sold makes the whole idea all the more amusing.
Posted by: Michael Ubaldi on January 19, 2003 10:42 PMYou may have started an interesting thread; does anyone know of more sites or blogs with graphic barbs with political significance?
The military, of course, has their own rebuttal to yammering antiwar demonstrators.

Jon H,
Last I checked, of the sponsors of bipartisan nuclear materials containment legislation, it was Dick Lugar and not Sam Nunn who was actually still in office. Oh yeah, and chairing Senate Foreign Relations. So there's your consistency.
Posted by: David Jaroslav on January 20, 2003 12:03 AMI can't help it, since I'm the pinko fringe of the Asymmetrical Information blogroll, I have to give my vote to Unqualified Offerings' anti-war slogans, like:
"Not THIS War,"
"Peace Now! Socialism Never!"
and "Patriots for Peace."
As for the Cafe Press stuff, I think Michael Ubaldi has it right there. Writing "material breach" on a pair of panties gives the phrase a whole new meaning. ;)
Posted by: Jim on January 20, 2003 12:43 PMIt was a takeoff on some of the more obnoxious signs I saw; not a blanket criticism of the pinko fringe of the Asymmetrical Information blogroll. ;-)
Posted by: Jane Galt on January 20, 2003 1:24 PMHeh. "Blanket criticism" is just a Cafe Press product category waiting to happen.
