Obama courts the deaf vote

I'm not sure what the context is or whether it's intentional, but Obama might be courting the deaf vote with the ILY sign in this image. Obama's already got our vote on that point since he has a clearly articulated policy on disability while McCain does not.

My favorite moonbat conservative deaf republican blog (okay, there's only one, but it can still be a favorite, right?) is
DeafRepublicans2008, and they also explored the issue of politicians flashing the 'I love you' sign.

Sadly Deaf Republicans 2008 Godwinned themselves recently, which was a real shame because they had a rather off kilter but endearing brand of vitrol with hyperbole, dead horse whipping, and a patented leap-for-the-throat ad hominem fighting style in any of the comments in any blog post if someone dissents. You might disagree with their stance on the issues, but gosh darn it, they're frequently going off-message for AMERICA!

I don't know where I'm going with this, I was going to make a point about one issue of 'Foreign Affairs' giving me a year's worth of reading material with a single issue, and I've still got a stack of unread issues from 2007 and well-reasoned, informative, and balanced articles have no place in the elections in America. Unless, of course, you're a socialist with a too-small American Flag lapel pin or something.

Nitpick: Obama wore a flag pin in all three debates. McCain did not.

Socialist? Only if you absolutely believe in "spreading the wealth" from the bottom up...

Although I see the author's point in DR2008 not exactly "godwin'ned" though he makes it clear on that aspect.
