At first, Rick Husong was stunned by the overwhelming wave of negative and sometimes crude reactions to his bid revealed in Whispers last week to build a pro-Sen. Barack Obama movement around a hand salute dubbed the Big-O. Among the hundreds of comments posted on the Whispers site were those comparing it to a gang gesture, a Nazi salute, or worse. "This is how Sieg Heil got started. And, no I'm not saying Obama is Hitler. I just think people should be careful about slipping into a personality cult for a charismatic leader," wrote Jake of Tennessee. Husong tells me that he was pretty depressed by the reaction to his idea and free design offered on the website of Loyalty Inc., his California creative company. That is until he heard of a fan walking on Venice Beach wearing a T-shirt displaying the artwork. In fact, despite the tsunami of criticism, the artwork has been downloaded 7,700 times and his site has been hit 214,000 times since the first Whisper went live. "I would call that a raving success," he says, adding that he plans to make his Big-O the "peace sign of our generation."

Darn, pic won’t work.
(see smaller sign at right).
see also the book “The Wave”
I have a sneaky feeling these obama radicals are going to be nasty violent pissed on the first wednesday of november.
This election is going to turn on the level of fraud.
Obama would have been a more credible and ..haha.. better-rounded ..person if he had read it. He may even have understood Bitter people who cling to guns, etc.
“have a sneaky feeling these obama radicals are going to be nasty violent pissed on the first wednesday of november.”
yeah, I have concerns too.
The zealotry has been whipped up into a fevered pitch by the MSM and Obama himself.
I lay full blame upon them if anything bad happens when he loses. And LOSE he will.
What it looks like is- STICK IT RIGHT HERE! I’M READY!
Well I have a special return salute for any asshat that flashes that crap at me.
My leftist friends claim this is all a hoax, that the O sign is a right-wing creation.

NathanR to the anti-liberal
Nope. From Wiki article on The Way to Eden
"The group quickly shows a disrespect for authority and demands to be taken to a planet they call "Eden" (a reference to Garden of Eden). Eden's existence is believed to be a myth however. The group refuses to cooperate with Kirk, calling him "Herbert", an insulting reference to his rigid and limited ideals.
The group is impressed by Mr. Spock however, who gestures with an oval "symbol of peace" the party makes with raised hands, and speaks of "The One".
"The One", who does that remind you of??? The "Space Hippies" ended up chemically burned or dead, in that episode.
Bigeaux is pronouned "Beezhew" <- my best attempt
