On Sept. 13, 2008, over 1400 people rallied in Anchorage, Alaska to show their support for keeping Palin out of the White House. In a sparsely-populated state like Alaska, getting a rally with a hundred supporters is a big enough feat! According to this article, it was the biggest rally ever in Alaskan history. A right-wing conservative radio DJ heard about the rally and announced it on air, along with the organizers' phone numbers and encouraged his listeners to harass the women who organized the rally, making such statements as calling them "a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots". The idiot showed up with his own sign and the best he could come up with was "Alaska is not Frisco".
Some of my favorite signs are:
God's Will is NOT A Foreign Policy
Pro-Woman, Anti-Palin
Hockey Mama for Obama
Hey hockeymom, keep the puck out of DC
McCain/Palin Unstable/Unable
Alaska Women Reject Palin, Uppity Women Unite!
One Step Forward, 200
Vote Issues, Not Gender (held by a woman)
Another Socialist Baby-Killing Maggot For Free Speech
MCSAME
I live next to Russia too, can I be V.P.? (held by a pre-teen girl)
I vote with my brain, not my gender

I'm jumping in the catch-phrase war with something my sweetie, zen_shooter said the other night. I'm creating a t-shirt that says "Wasilla called, they want their idiot back". I'll post a link here when it's available.
