Usually Protest Warrior's signs are quite effective. This was not one of their best.

The incident is unfortunate too because of what I've seen since I read this post: MSNBC has a picture of what they called pro-Bush supporters stomping on a opponent's sign (not exact wording but something like that--it's in their slide show). The sign clearly had www.protestwarrior.com on the bottom. I don't think MSNBC realized it was a sign from a Bush supporter, but I'm sure plenty of goons on the left recognized the website. You just hate to give them any ammo.

Having said that, it was NOT PW's best effort, and it is certainly understandable how this particular sign could easily have been misconstrued, given the left's propensity for trying to break up counter rallies by disrupting them.

Minor quibble. I am very proud so many people came out in force to defend the Troops and our President.

Bless you all.

As I posted on the other thread, the Protest Warrior incident has now served as an educational tool. Although folks have said an announcement was made about them both before and after the incident, apparently most people didn't hear. Next time I suggest we have them bring a sign (covered up), put them on stage and actually explain what they are. The sign itself will certainly grab attention as we already know. The only problem I see is that it will also expose them more to the left and possibly thwart their efforts there. But then again, most on the left don't read.

PW does really good work. The persons who stomped on the sign could not have known who PW was. Simple.

Misconstrued only if you had never seen PW.
