Exactly my point.
Look folks, we are conservatives. WE'RE the ones who are supposed to have facts and logic and reason and common sense. My concern is that in the process of "using the liberal playbook" that many conservatives are going to confuse what works (subverting slogans, popular agitation) with what doesn't (XXXX=Hitler signs, shouting down, violence). If we stick to making our case forecefully and subverting leftist paradigms, then we'll be A-OK. If we go Code Pink, we'll lose the goodwill we're generating.
I'm one of those who posts a lot of silly pictures on FR but I agree with you completely on this and feel that it is way too easy to overdo it on the signs carried in public.
Verifiable facts, politeness and massive, peaceful crowds are what we need to win this one. We need to be firm and dedicated.

Did the left care that Robert Bork was none of those things Dead Ted labled him as? Does the left care that people think that Sarah Palin said that she could see Russia from her house? Bottom line - rumor and urban legend can be effective weapons, don’t leave them in our holster.
