snarpOutside of the Capital South metro stop, some people had a sign which said, on one side, "Are you a spy for the English?" On the other side was a picture of Obama with a tag attached to him saying "Made in England," and a Hitler moustache markered on.
There were three or four of these people, and they seemed fairly organized: they were covering all parts of the station entrance pretty effectively, they had pamphlets, and they'd made up a catchphrase to use when offering them to people. (Though it was something like "Are you ready and waiting for a solution to the present crisis?", which, I think you will agree, is not a very good catchphrase.)
This being the case, I feel that it's only right to assume that the sign is the result of deliberate planning, and that it accurately conveys the group's message. Their message is that Obama is Hitler, that Hitler was, apparently, English, and that we may all be English spies. I think this is reasonably clear. My only questions, really, are 1) whether we have recently overturned some scheme of Bonaparte's, and 2) whether we will be romancing any bluestockings. If so, then I am obviously all for it.
