CPAC: Bumper Stickers from the Far Side

| Fri Feb. 27, 2009 6:05 AM PST

The Conservative Political Action Conference, the nation's largest annual meeting of conservative activists, brings together right-wingers of different backgrounds, viewpoints, and levels of respectability. A good way to get a sense of the milieu at the conference, which is going on now in Washington DC, is to walk the exhibition hall, where exhibitors try to convince passers-by that the gays, the immigrants, the baby-killers, the UN, the Muslims, Al Gore, and/or Barack Obama are trying to ruin America. Below, a collection of bumper stickers, fliers, and handouts gathered from the hall.

The thing that stands out in all of the above bumper stickers is a complete and utter lack of wit -- in both senses of the word. These sad, graphic yelps are at once witless and unfunny.
