"Go Lie!"

"Brad Blakeman, a very charming, intelligent spinmeister in Florida depicted in the film. He was, by his own account, the man at least partly behind "Sore Loserman," "Surrender Gorethy," "The Gorinch Who Stole the Election,"

FYI
"Go Lie!"
My memory is that Registered created the Sore Loserman banner.
As I wrote in an earlier thread, I might have enjoyed the movie if I wasn’t a news and FR junkie, and was too ignorant to know that it was 75% crap. I watched because I wondered where “Sore/Loserman” would show up, and sadly, only one scene contained the signs, and you had to pause your recorder to see it.
The best book about the election in 2000 was written by Bill Sammon, “At Any Cost: How Al Gore Tried to Steal the Election”.
It’s riviting .. you will not be able to put it down.
It is a good account and factual.
Those were great days in front of the Veeps mansion at 34th & Mass.
Teasing the Gorons with "Get out of Cheneys house" was big fun.
Great times...
heheh. We went around town and replaced folks bumper stickers and yard signs. It was so much fun.
Your caption should read “See if you can find the ‘GO LIE’ poster in this picture”......took me way too long to find it to admit! I just thought you mis-spelled ‘golly’!
Priceless!
Hello Rich...you out there?
Weird that this should come up. Should have been in 2000, or 2004. Lieberman will appear at the Pubbie convention, I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.
I have that book...it was my first exposure to "Super Stretch" Sammon. I've since bought two of his other books, Misunderestimated and Strategery. All three of them were great reads.
I believe Registered also did the "Surrender Gorethy" written in the sky! Then, someone from here hired a banner plane.
The picture of the Surrender Gorethy was a FR classic. This past week the sky was such a deep blue and the clouds so white, I laughed and recalled that picture with my husband.
Correct. Then I marketed the crap out of it. And Free Republic got almost $20K in the next year’s fund raisers. I still have about 300 bumper stickers.
Memories......:)
Ah, those were heady days on FR! (Have an extra large version of that in my garage :)

I saw it tonight and kept looking for the ‘’Get out of Cheney’s house’’ signs and people.LOL! Never saw THEM!

Freepers "Seeking the Truth" (aka Gene) and "flygirl" seem to have been flying political messages as early as October and flew the "Surrender Gorethy" banner on Thursday 11/16/2000.

Free Republic Air Force Strikes
"I had the pleasure of being at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show today, October, 28, 2000. At approximately 3:30 P.M. EST a banner plane flew overhead pulling a banner for literally thousands of people to see. A truely glorious site to see! The banner read "BENEDICT ARNOLD GORE: SOLD U.S. SECRETS FOR $$$"...

GOVERNMENT TO SHUT DOWN FREEREPUBLIC AIR FORCE
Tuesday, December 19, 2000 02:28:43 PM · by flygirl
"We need some "Freepin" help. The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed to restrict operations of aircraft around Major Sporting and Spectator events. That will shut down over 400 aerial advertising businesses throughout the US and jack up the price of advertising to the small business owners..."
------------------------------------
"I know seeking the truth makes T-shirts. I own one. As well as a mug. He has made a business of providing quality work to FR'ers and others who seek out his stuff. (You remember Gene-he was the original Florida Free Republic Air Force captain! Back when we flew our banners off small planes!)"

Nice one, Liberty! I’ll see if I can dig up some of my “memorabilia” as well ;)
