Alright! I have the billboard design (free bumpersticker too!)

[zulchzulu]

This is what it would look like:



Here's the art and/or a free bumpersticker:

[Political Tiger]

1. Right on the mark! n/t

[Imagevision]

200. Very good! - Limbaugh right after that makeover... the dude is a fat fu*k!

[QueenOfCalifornia]

2. I like it

but that picture of El Rushbo is too flattering.

:)

[Bryn]

3. I was thinking the same thing

pix of Rush is too good. Pick one that brings out the real ugly him!

[conscious evolution]

69. His mug shot

from when the pedophile was busted for drugs.

[Imagevision]

202. I agree, the mug shot would have been interesting, he looks like he just got out a classy whore-haus

[zulchzulu]

5. I was looking at other photos, but this hits back at his followers...

They might see him smiling and pointing at his microphone and think it's an ad FOR him and then see the message hit them right between the eyes.

[Richardo]

4. Nice -

I'd consider "Both of them want America to fail" just in the interest of brevity and impact. :shrug:

[Muttocracy]

134. Agree, short is good for reading at highway speed - simply "Both Want America to Fail". nt

[Richardo]

150. Better!

[Renew Deal]

6. I like

:yourock:

[Imagevision]

197. Showing Rush in the "russian black gear" he showed up with on tv would have been exceptional also

[prairierose]

7. Great.. I think the pic of brush is too nice too... but...

damn, I love this it is fabulous.

[Sedona]

8. To the greatest page QUICK!

Needs one more rec

[pnorman]

9. THANKS! I just hijacked it, and it's already been deployed in a receptive venue

pnorman

[Skidmore]

10. Need to get this up along some major interstates.

Any groups doing this sort of thing now?

[cherish44]

11. GREAT!!

I agree with the posters who say we need current picture of Rush in all his bloated sweaty ugliness. Something from the CPAC speech would be perfect

[jhain]

12. How about a Facebook page!??

you could get THOUSANDS to join!!

[tavalon]

13. That is awesomely spot on!

[Trocadero]

14. use fatter Rush picture (i.e. real picture)

[themaguffin]

195. i agree that picture looks like rush from 1980ish

[Laurab]

15. Great, but I agree, rush looks WAY too good.

He looks like a human being, and I've never seen a picture before that made him look THAT good. Someone suggested a picture from the recent meeting - "The Man in Black" - that would be far better, I think.

[OneGrassRoot]

34. EXCELLENT sign, but I agree about Limbaugh looking too good. n/t

[me b zola]

73. I agree with using a 'the man in black' photo (photo from '09 cpac)

Not because one is less flattering than the other, but because rush doesn't really resemble the photo in the OP. Use the most recent, most fresh in the mind of the public. Using the older pic some people will not know who it is.

[Cha]

101. Yes, around the time when he actually

said he wanted Obama to fail.

[Richardo]

16. Use Rush's mug shot

That will look more similar to the Osama pic.

[havocmom]

17. Great, but use a 'fat Rush' picture

more in keeping with current Rush look

[kaygore]

75. Good point--one of him in his black CPAC garb....very ominous.

[nichomachus]

18. BRILLIANT ! ! ! ! ! ! n/t

[Occam Bandage]

19. Another vote for "great, but let's get a Rush shot from this century."

[nichomachus]

20. I hope this is on its way to Rahm -- he'd use it in a heartbeat n/t

[greenbird]

21. I think the pic of Rush is perfect

for the very reasons in #5 - it'll catch the attention of his adoring fans.

[RufusTFirefly]

22. Terrific! And I think the Rush photo is just right.

It's way more effective with a publicity style photo than a deliberately unflattering one that would make the billboard appear to be agitprop even from a distance. I also like that even though it's his index finger, he appears to be giving the finger.

Nice work!

[DangerousRhythm]

23. That is just beautiful.

:toast:

[Vinca]

24. Perfect!

[zulchzulu]

25. New version with CPAC Rush photo...

[polichick]

28. Perfect! I hope you submitted it.

[RufusTFirefly]

29. Nice, but I still like your earlier version

My mother -- who dealt with a household of artists and writers -- used to say "A good artist needs someone to hit him over the head to make him stop."

Klonk.

[tabatha]

37. He is more recognizable in this one.

Excellent.

[Fla Dem]

38. Yes, Yes, Yes. Yes and YES!!!! n/t

[Bryn]

41. Yes Yes Yes

This what real Rush looks like.

[mimitabby]

43. yes! perfect!

[goodgd_yall]

48. All right!

That's more like it!

[classof56]

50. AWEsome--I think we have our winner!

:fistbump:

[OneGrassRoot]

53. SPOT ON!!!!!!! Excellent work! :) n/t

[ProSense]

64. Wow!

:applause:

[DinahMoeHum]

71. Ooooh, that's even better!

If I saw this billboard on the NJ Turnpike, I'd probably swerve off the road. :rofl::rofl:

Rush looks just like that character "Big Pussy" from The Sopranos

:evilgrin:

[Number23]

76. That one is MUCH better. That first photo you used made Rush look way too young/slim

He hasn't looked like that since Bush I stopped eating broccoli.

[BrklynLiberal]

78. He looks more like the Stacking Doll in this photo! LOL

[JDPriestly]

83. That's good. I could hardly recognize the photo in the OP.

[Festusss]

94. BINGO!!!

[Pacifist Patriot]

100. Much better. I knew who you meant because of the text, but honestly did not recognize

the dipshit in a suit.

[lame54]

103. much better

[flvegan]

122. That's the one.

Nice. :thumbsup:

[firedupdem]

124. Perfect! This needs to be plastered everywhere! n/t

[Kittycat]

132. That's it. Too bad you can't update your OP with this.

Ask a mod if they can replace it, people need to see it.

[Kadie]

136. Perfect!

Great Job!

[tblue37]

140. Much better--but can you get that shiny, sweaty look he had? nt

[SkyDaddy7]

165. WOW! I just Hijacked and...

went straight to zazzle.com and printed off 5 for my family and friends!

[leveymg]

166. Now, that's just about perfect.

All that sign needs now is some shotgun holes.

[TheEuclideanOne]

175. I was thinking the same thing about Rush

:rofl:

[4lbs]

198. This is the one that should have won and gone up on the billboard, not that lame "Rush to Failure"

that the DNC ended up picking.

[zulchzulu]

26. Added bonus DittoPig animated gif

[flpoljunkie]

57. Excellent!

[tblue37]

141. For the billboard--grab the frame of him poking his lips out the way Bell draws

W as a monkey. The frame you chose looks too much like he is smiling or laughing. It needs to look more like what he is really doing--ranting.

Like this Bell cartoon--look at Bush's lips:
http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/steve_bell/2007/09/18/bell512ready

Notice that in the animated "LIAR" shot you provided, there is a frame where Limbaugh's lips are poked out like that, too.

[zulchzulu]

160. Smaller variation...

[BlancheSplanchnik]

163. Serious Good vid work!!

bill board too ---
bravo!
:applause:

[merh]

27. K&R

& downloaded, of course.

:thumbsup:

[Tripper11]

30. Perfect!

Highly recommended! Says it all.

[wackywaggin]

31. Simply great !!!

[Karenina]

32. GREAT! BUT a more up-to-date pic of pig-boy is needed.

The one Letterman referred to. :rofl:

[zulchzulu]

36. See post 25

[Karenina]

60. There ya go!!!

:thumbsup:

[madmom]

33. See my earlier post here...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=8247173&mesg_id=8247621

[Roland99]

35. Perfect!! Rush bin Limbaugh!

[acmavm]

39. PERFECT!!!

[Dr Fate]

40. I think you need to have the Fat version of Limbaugh wearing black.

The one where he is scowling.

Otherwise, not bad!

[zulchzulu]

42. Post 25...

[iamthebandfanman]

44. lol, as funny as it would be.. its best not to stoop to their level n/t

[Dr Fate]

45. You might be right, but that is what John Kerry said about the SBVs in 2004.

In any event, I wouldnt be suprised if the DNC drops the whole thing before too long- the next boogey man just might be Rove, again.

[texastoast]

51. I disagree on this

This is not stooping. This is stating a fact.

[zulchzulu]

115. If it pisses him off and he has to get defensive, it's more inevitable...

...that the bastard will have a myocardial infarction event... preferably while he's spewing hate on his radio show.

:rofl:

[RoccoR5955]

46. WTG! k&r n/t

[goodgd_yall]

47. delete

[mod mom]

49. Love it! (note-both also supported *)

[ravenna_windream]

54. Great job!

I think we have a winner! I hope this one gets chosen! :toast:

[d_b]

52. I love it!

[flpoljunkie]

55. Great, but he's virtually unrecognizable. When we think of him these days we see this...

or this...

[vaberella]

56. look at post # 25...he edited it. n/t

[flpoljunkie]

58. Just check it out. Thanks!

[BrklynLiberal]

82. Lookin more and more like Porky every day...

[tblue37]

144. Porky Pig is a sweet-tempered, friendly-faced l'il guy. Rush does NOT

look like Porky!

[vanbean]

88. Man, does he look porkish or what?

[stlsaxman]

147. i believe the word is "porcine"

porcine
One entry found.

Main Entry: por·cine
Pronunciation: \ˈpȯr-ˌsīn\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin porcinus, from porcus pig — more at farrow
Date: circa 1656

: of, relating to, or suggesting swine : piggish

[ooglymoogly]

110. Now that's the pig I know. nt

[tblue37]

145. This one looks like him--it shows his real character:

[demo dutch]

59. I hope you entered this one ... it's awsome! But use a different picture of Rush

[mistertrickster]

61. Oooh, good one! k'd & r'd nt

[Drunken Irishman]

62. This is totally bullshit it isn't funny...

Rush Limbaugh is NOT that thin!

[wryter2000]

63. Oh, man

That is utterly and totally awesome! :applause:

[The_Editor]

65. Superb. I've just put it on my website

Superb. I've just put it on the front page of my website, with an acknowledgement.

http://www.llanelliscar.co.uk

[zulchzulu]

162. Welcome to DU!

You're in the UK? Kewl!

[Joey Liberal]

66. Great! nt

[jillan]

67. Omg - you are freakin brilliant!!

[DinahMoeHum]

68. LOVE IT !!! Ties OBL to Pigboy's neck. . .now let's throw 'em overboard.

<glub glub glub>

:evilgrin:

[HeeBGBz]

70. Absolutely perfect. n/t

[conscious evolution]

72. we have a blank billboard at my place

15,000+ cars a day go by.Plus a MARTA train every twenty minutes.

Anyone know how much it would cost to print that up for a 10' x 16' billboard?

[jmowreader]

108. It is often included in the price of the billboard rental

Using Lamar Outdoor's rate card for Georgia, it would run you between $500 and $13,000 to buy a billboard for a month.

[conscious evolution]

116. You don't understand

Lamar does not own it.
The land trust I am involved with owns it.I am one of the trustees of the Board that decides what goes on the four billboards we own.
Usually whomever rents the spaces provides their own sign.In this case if someone can provide the sign it WILL go up.

[jmowreader]

138. Well, in that case...

Go to http://www.bigimagegraphics.com and ask for a quote. They print a huge amount of billboards, and they do a nice job.

[Muttocracy]

137. FedEx/Kinko's has estimates on their site:

http://www.fedex.com/us/office/marketing/signsbanners/banners/outdoor.html

[kaygore]

74. Send it to the DNC! You are a genius!!!!!

If you have bumper stickers, I want some. I'll pay for mine.

[BrklynLiberal]

77. Cool!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[POAS]

79. Nancy Skinner just mentioned this!

[zulchzulu]

113. Who is Nancy Skinner? n/t

[POAS]

121. Maybe I got the name wrong but

I mean the woman on XM taking over Randy Rhodes old spot!

[zulchzulu]

152. Damn, that's funny!

I'll see if it's archived somewhere.

[POAS]

169. Somebody gave or sent her the picture

and she wasn't sure if it was real or photoshopped but decided it must be photoshopped but she thought it was perfect!

[jschurchin]

80. Awesome!!!!!!!

And we have a winner folks. Thanks for playing everyone.:bounce: :bounce: :toast: :smoke:

[Hellataz]

81. Awesome! I hope they use it!

[NewJeffCT]

84. I love it - but, use the Rush from CPAC

he's older, heavier and even uglier.

[av8rdave]

85. That is now my wallpaper (with your permission) Thanks!

[NanceGreggs]

86. Perfect!!!

:kick: and REC'D!


:patriot:

[lisa58]

87. excellent!

[FLyellowdog]

89. Spot on!!!!

[lunatica]

90. Ooooooooooh! I do hope that hurts them a lot

[GardeningGal]

91. Absolutely PERFECT! nt

[Hepburn]

92. Hot damn....I love it! K&R...n/t

[Dubiosus]

93. stupid

one of them just wants you to get out of his country (or maybe both of them?) People who still believe in the official myth of that dammed day in 2001 won't get their democracy back. That simple.....


:mad:

[ProSense]

95. "one of them just wants you to get out of his country (or maybe both of them?)"

What?

[Dubiosus]

102. do you still

think that they hate you for your freedoms?

The sad fat man maybe hates you for your freedoms but Osama Bin Laden was a scapegoat from the

beginning. He is a fed up Muslim who happens to have money and who has been sucked into the CIA

war machine. He didn't want to destroy the USA. If he is so clever, would he have pulled the trigger

of the American gun pointed to the Arabian head? Why are you still so afraid? You can kill anybody

around the world within hours or days. That fucking day screwed you up to much.

What is wrong with you people?

[ProSense]

158. "The sad fat man maybe hates you for your freedoms but Osama Bin Laden was a scapegoat "

What the hell are you talking about?

Speaking of screwed up: Who appointed you bin Laden's appologist?

I don't give a fuck about Rush or bin Laden. They're both sores on the ass of humanity.

[Dubiosus]

170. Did you read anything about

the foundation of the terrorist organization which Bin Laden is the head of?

To be pro sense needs to be informed. I am not advocating any of the shit they are doing.

We just have to act with caution when it comes to propaganda, left or right!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

174. From your posts, I take it you are not in the US

whatever bin Laden's role in the CIA or 911, his face and name have become a symbol for hating America and wishing its failure. He is being used in this context to bring home the repugnant nature of what Limbaugh said.

[Dubiosus]

180. right,

and be cautious with symbols of this kind. And never forget that nobody, really NOBODY in the world

could nor would try to destroy your country (only you and your people can do that). For another

entity to try this, it would be such a mighty task. Just leave other people alone. It is hard enough

today to get along. We do not need more ideas which include an ongoing war!

The story of Bin Laden as the terror head who allegedly "masterminded" that thing 2001 (not even the

FBI is looking for him as responsible for that crime) is serving the new administration as well. It

is a pure evil, made into a scary lullaby. Remember that you have nothing to fear but fear itself?

This is an excellent example for that. I am trying to live that way and it isn't easy but doable.

Another thing to mention is that the meaning of this picture is not only in one

direction and knowing this you give Limbaugh the same stature and weight as a bogeyman to fear as

well (there are obviously more than one). Take nothing for what it seems. They are comparing to

Hitler and make you now comparing somebody to Bin Laden. But simple conclusions do feed into

simple ideas!

Since nearly 8 years I watch this theater and they tried and still are trying to scare us too into

obedience. Both sides! You will see, that all these people including O. are playing with you.

Distracting and setting up smoke screens....well seems to be a job description.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

181. Thank you for a fresh perspective

We Americans are so insular and myopic when it comes to how the rest of the world views things. You may very well be right about the only destruction coming from within. There is a hadith of the Beloved Prophet (saw) where he says that the greatest threat to Islam would come from within--which, I believe, we are seeing today with the destruction of businesses and murder of Sufis and Shia in Pakistan by the Taliban.

[Dubiosus]

182. if there is money to make and

power to gain by destabilizing a region, a conflict will follow with a solution from above.

[ProSense]

184. Nonsense. First of all: What country is it that bin Laden wants us to get out of? n/t

[Dubiosus]

187. you know

where he is from.

[zulchzulu]

189. Two questions...

What would happen to you if you walked into the middle of an Al Qaeda meeting and said you were an American.

This picture might give you a clue of what would happen...



What other photo do you think these thugs probably have near where you would be executed? A picture of Osama bin Laden would be a pretty damn good guess.

Does Bin Laden want America to fail? If you don't know the answer, you are either very gullible or very uninformed.

As for Rush and Bin Laden being together in a graphic with the text inferring they both want America to fail, it's pretty easy for most people to figure out, except perhaps for Dittoheads who would say he just wants "socialism" to fail, which of course is a bullshit answer.

There is also something called political satire... and since it's time to take the gloves off and hit back at Repigs, this is something I find fun to illustrate.

:hi:

[Dubiosus]

190. these questions

are rhetorical questions.

The point I want to make is that you shouldn't act like repugs if you want to be different!

And this sign comes very close to the republican way of confrontation. Take the fear

out of the equation and what stays? Two poor, unstable, ill men with little power. If

you see Bin Laden as a threat to America, I mean a real threat, you are fully trapped

in a media campaign which started "shortly" before 2001. All I can say is: "Remember Pearl

Harbor and Golf of Tonkin!" You are lied to all the time as well as we are. Understand?

To take this arab men within your culture just because you are told so, is manipulated.

There are some ways in which your country should fail but nobody dares to say so! For example

your power expanding policies with hundreds of thousands of troops all over the world. After the

cold war only one side got their military out of the occupied territory. Yes we are friends now! But

friends who stay too long and wear military uniforms are kind of bothersome, don't you think?

Shall it be too expensive to be maintained!

There is no wish in me that would harm anybody! But discussions are needed! No polemics!

Polemics do too much harm and only bring a bitter release. No quality in it but poison.

[alteredstate]

96. This is great!

Love it!

[Patchuli]

97. Is that Rushbo's glamour shot?

He so does not look that trim! He's got a zillion chins. I can't even tell where his face leaves off and his neck starts lately.

[CitizenPatriot]

98. LOVE IT! nt

[Cha]

99. Excellent, zulch!

I would submit getting a more recent pic of limbaugh, though..like when he was at the con meeting looking like a gangsta blimp.

[and-justice-for-all]

104. hahaha!!!!

:yourock:

[Swagman]

105. brilliant !!

[blossomstar]

106. Oh No, Rush is much, much older, uglier and fatter than that!

This pic must be 20 yrs. old or something. He even has hair in it! Way too flattering.

[beac]

107. Brilliant-- esp the revised version!! K&R!! n/t

[ooglymoogly]

111. Ok where is the rivised version? nt

[zulchzulu]

112. Post 25

[ooglymoogly]

148. thanx....much better nt

[beac]

156. About mid-thread...

titled "New version with CPAC Rush photo..."

Same concept with a new picture of the idiot in his black silk CPAC shirt.

[ooglymoogly]

109. Beautiful idea...

The representation of Lush looks like a proselytization of him by his gung ho, delusional staff...a little to airbrushed to represent the real Trash. Perhaps one strutting like Mussolini, beating himself on the chest like folks on crack or oxy do...with maybe a Mussolini cap jauntily perched top his head with his adoring fans shouting feverishly "ill Duce, ill Duce, ill Duce. Nah just kiddin its good enough just like it is

[muffin1]

114. How do I order one? n/t

[EFerrari]

117. Bingo!

:applause:

lol

[Gman]

118. Perfect message! The only thing to change

is use the porkulus Rush like he was at the CPAC conference.

[Fla Dem]

188. See post #25 n/t

[valerief]

119. Neato! nt

[JuniperLea]

120. Love it!

Well done!

[crimsonblue]

123. Invoking terror? fucking ridiculous.

So it's terrible for Bush to invoke terror to put across a message, but okay for Democrats? Take bin Laden off the fucking picture, for christ's sake.

[Phx_Dem]

125. OMG. You win!

[Rhiannon12866]

126. This is excellent! K&R!

The only criticism I have is that Rush looks way too thin and not slovenly enough... :evilgrin:

[libodem]

127. They are certainly more alike than different

[omega minimo]

128. One's dead and one's braindead.

[libodem]

129. I wish the DNC were flush with cash

and we could put at least one in every capitol city, in every state of the Union! That would be so wonderful. Oh, Mr. Soros....paging Mr. Soros.....

[trickyguy]

130. Great. And is Rush giving someone the finger? Looks kinda like it.

[nevergiveup]

131. And the winner is........................

Bingo!

[Gamey]

133. Brilliant!

Old Rush, or newer and fatter Rush, the message is immediate. Well done!

This is fact based on language. Not some innuendo, made up bullshit, nuance nor propaganda. The American guy doubled-down on his rhetoric. Make him pay for that gamble.

[Historic NY]

135. Brilliant, simply brilliant..thats the one that needs to go up in Florida.

[tblue37]

139. Rush looked like that for a short while. Now he looks like a Mafia

hitman in his shiny black shirt, and he is a lot more overweight and sweaty looking--and older, with his gray slicked back hair.

That picture is far too flattering. I want to see the one of him ranting and red-faced at the CPAC lectern.

[FailureToCommunicate]

142. Stop the contest...we have a winner!! Reminds me of the bumper sticker (from

Al Franken maybe?) about gas guzzler cars and lone commuters: "If you're driving alone, you're riding with Bin Laden..."

[jillan]

143. I posted it on my facebook page, I hope you don't mind.

And as my desktop wallpaper.

I really love it!

[zulchzulu]

151. It's Open Source Free Art

Make money selling t-shirts... whatever! If this puts food on the table, I'm more than happy.

:thumbsup:

[Bette Noir]

146. Perfect.

[donheld]

149. Totally Brilliant!

1000 recommends (if I could)

[veganlush]

153. I agree, wrong pic. young people

...who are just getting the "pleasure" of knowing rush, won't know him from this picture.

[Dinger]

154. K & R!

[TexasThoughtCriminal]

155. Check out these pics. Twins?

[Gregorian]

157. Rush isn't going to like that!

Therefore I love it.

[zulchzulu]

159. Tell me when to stop...

[Lorien]

164. Love it! nt

[Sarah Ibarruri]

161. Fatter, more realistic Rush and it's absolutely perfect!!!!! nt

[Road Scholar]

167. Awesome!! K&R

:kick:

[namahage]

168. Awesome! If I may suggest one minor text modification...

BOTH

OF THESE GUYS

WANT AMERICA TO

FAIL.

[man4allcats]

171. Oh I like it!

Looking forward to the bumpersticker as well as the billboard. In the meantime, it's getting tiled in as the desktop on my machine at work. There are just too damned many Republicans at that place anyway.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[certainot]

172. great work!-- and here's a suggestion for another...

LIMBAUGH- $400MIL AND STILL LOOKING OUT FOR THE LITTLE GUY!

or

LIMBAUGH- $400MIL AND STILL ONE OF US!

what about putting his recent face on the koolaid pitcher

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

173. Brilliant

short and to the point. Even dittoheads will get it. And how can they disagree, since their Rushbo has said it again and again?

[kywildcat]

176. Perfect.

[lpbk2713]

177. Excellent work.

:thumbsup: :hi: :thumbsup:

I'll be sure to spread them around.

(With your permission of course.)

[zulchzulu]

178. Permission certainly granted!

It's free to be used any want people want. I'd love to see the sign actually put right outside Rush's house and all across the fruited plain.

:rofl:

[lunatica]

179. kick

[Kajsa]

183. Perfect!

I'm printing out a bumpersticker,

THANK YOU!

:D :pals:

[BreweryYardRat]

185. Ohhhhhhhh.

That is fantastic.

[ecstatic]

186. Rush has gained at least 200 lbs since that photo

was taken. But otherwise, LOVE IT!!! Great job!!!
