READER JODY GREEN WRITES: “We went to the protest in Washington and we walked up and down Pennsylvania Avenue during the march. We saw thousands of signs and 99% were hand made and unique. The one person we saw handing out signs was handing out the pre-printed ‘Bury Obama Care with Kennedy’ sign. He had hundreds of them in packages and was handing them to everyone that passed by. I did not take one because I thought it not a very effective sign and would probably only cause negative coverage. Well that is what it has caused. There have been numerous stories from some big names saying how this was offensive. Rush had a montage today of reporters talking about this sign. I even heard it on a local radio station as top of the hour straight news. Just curious if any of your other readers saw what I saw and maybe learned where this guy came from. I guess I smell a rat.”

Anybody else know anything about this?

The American Life League is responsible for the “Bury Obamacare with Kennedy” sign: http://americanlifeleague.stores.yahoo.net/index.html

What’s strange is that this sign stands far apart from all their other Pro-Life memorabilia. The Pro-Life movement has nothing to do with Obama or Kennedy insofar as it comes to universal health care (outside of the abortion issue). According to the BBB (http://www.bbb.org/charity-reviews/national/toc/american-life-league-in-stafford-va-2294), the organization has only existed since July 2009. Something smells strange about the entire set-up.

Hmm.
