Only Fascism Can Liberate America!
http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2007/12/only-fascism-can-liberate-america.html
Because some people are too stubborn or too stuck in dysfunctional thinking patterns to hear the truth about fascism when it hits them over the head, I suggest that we try a different approach: Parody.
When a comic does satire -- an exaggeration of what we're thinking -- it can wake us up, so that we can see the truth and laugh at how we've been acting. That can give us the freedom to stop doing the same dumb thing and to try something new.
So put satirical slogans on freeway blogs or bumper stickers to snap people out of their coma, like (by way of example only):
Only Fascism Can Liberate America!
Torturing People Makes Them Like Us!
We Need to Destroy America in Order to Save Her!
A "Decider" King is What Our Founding Fathers Wanted!
Supressing the Truth is What Makes Us American!
Big Brother Is Our Friend!
Don't Investigate 9/11 . . . The Truth Might Be Scary!
Free Speech is Anti-American!
We Need a Dictator In Order To Save Our Freedom!
Good luck waking people up . . . and have some fun doing it.

Your right George...
they also make great bumper stickers. Only terrorists. question their government......It's true! I heard it on the news!
They hate our freedoms? ....The government can fix that with the PATRIOT ACT !
Nice!
I digg it!
Don't investigate 9/11. Go back to sleep!
Don't critique the official conspiracy theory myth on 9/11, you might have to join the club.
Sacrifice your liberty for security because the prisons are full.

Many hands make light work!
Every day, every 11th!
More ideas...
In general, I'm not fond of this type of irony, but let me give it a try:
Empires are always at war. After all, the peace must be maintained.
We must give up our freedoms in order to have liberty: Patriot Act.
I don't like the New World Order -- give me Globalization!
"We're an empire now -- we create our own reality." (senior aide to Bush/ Ron Susskind)
Corporate profits at the expense of people...
Thanks, China, for lending us trillions so we can attack Iraq
"Deficits don't matter" Cheney said. Hey, works so far...
Great idea .....
these should be put on fliers, cards, or bumperstickers...... with thought provoking designs. I've got two
1) Thank U Bush, for making US less hated: "They hate us for our freedom and prosperity."
Background or undernieth could have things like patriot act, symbols for wiretapping, and symbols of our falling economy. Not sure on the exact quote but you get the drift
2) MMMM Presidential Koolaid, or, Listen to your leader ....
"Let us never tolerate outragous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of Sept. 11"
"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." ---- Mark Twain

Truth Revolution: The Eleventh of Every Month
Excellent GW!
This is an excellent post. Humor is a very effective tool for spreading a message.
It can plant the seed without challenging too strongly deep rooted currently held belief systems, which people generally find intimidating.
Ghandi used this tactic often, when asked what he thought of Western Civilization he replied:-
" I think it would be a good idea."

George Orwell 1984
That's why we need Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert
And/or someone like them and their shows.
I've also been looking for some 9/11 Truth humor infiltrating political comedy routines but I haven't seen any yet, except for maybe an occasional anti-9/11 Truth or "conspiracy theory" joke at our expense.
It's all slowly but surely infiltrating the American psyche and culture, but too slowly.
