Obama supporters in birtherism-banner blunder
wnd ^ | August 25, 2012

2nd 'potatoe' moment this week for campaign in Ohio

If Barack Obama carries the key swing state of Ohio in November, it won’t be because he and his supporters know how to spell.

Today, at a Republican rally in Powell, Ohio, an airplane pulling a banner attempted to capitalize on Mitt Romney’s “joke” yesterday in Michigan about not needing to show his birth certificate. The Democrats have responded by accusing Romney of having joined the “birthers,” and the airplane banner continued that theme.

Unfortunately, the supporters who sponsored the banner – MoveOn.org, as reported by a Los Angeles Times reporter onsite – failed to do a spell-check before take-off.

“AMERICA IS BETTER THEN BIRTHERISM,” it read, incorrectly substituting “then” for “than”.

The rally was the first time Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, have appeared together and the last public event before the pair head to Tampa for the GOP convention.

Obama and three supporters, acting as human letters, YMCA-style, misspelled “Ohio” as “Oiho”.

However, since the poster creator is likely an indigenous “protected-class” citizen, he/she gets an
automatic ‘discrimination correction’ adjustment.

Henceforth, all Democrat persons and Media upon viewing this banner are ordered to understand the understandable mistake and to disregard its error - that is if they are even capable of understanding said mistake in the first place.

Perhaps the owner of the aerial banner company is a Republican who “didn’t build it”.

The MSM went on about Quayle’s faux-pas for years. They expended thousands of air-time minutes to hang his mistake around his neck forever.

With the current crew... not so much.

An excellent opprotunity to bring up the Eligibility issue...but we have too many in the GOP Media who side with Obama on the issue

It would be smart for the GOP Media to start adressing the Birth Cert issue....instead of attacking Birthers for bringing it up

If you are not going after Obama by now on the Eligibility issue...especially after Sherrif Arpaio’s posse found the Obama Birth Cert released to be a fraud...you are pretty much just helping Obama anyway

They really must want to shame any discussion of Obama records, or BC to instantly make a banner.

kinda fits with the quality of the BC Whitehouse posted

I suspect the order will be more along the lines of "You need to understand the emotions behind the creation of the banner." Mentioning the error will be shrugged off since bringing the creative butterfly any constructive criticism could be disruptive to their self esteem. All liberals are winners, after all (especially when being held down by "the man".)

In today’s schools, the spelling represents a great try and is only one letter off. Not wanting to ruin the moonbat’s self esteem,we will give them an A+!

Wrong word choice or not, it is good to see them disturbed about their fraud candidate and out their pulling banners that remind Americans that something is probably rotten about the community organizer’s past and they want the talk about it to stop.

Unfotunately the words then and than are part of the new illiterati lexicon that cannot distinguish the difference between them. “ Your and you’re” as well as “our and are” are confused also. NEA has done a magnificent job dumbing down education.

Beyond the spelling error, what does the sign even mean?

Another good argument for privatizing schools and requiring them to teach real subjects...
