- 10 points for unnecessary quotation marks + 5 points for spelling "it's" right (if it really is - kind of hard to tell) - 5 points for promiscuously mixing upper- and lower-case letters - any number of points for hanging around with people whose signs say "GO BACK TO KENYA"

On the other hand, any political ignoramus who can put together a sign that is laughably incomprehensible is not all bad in my book.
-50 points for the "pimp" hat. It would have been -100 if the hat had been purple, -1000 if it had sparkles or feathers.

WTF does "DEEM" mean in this context?? Is it supposed to be a play on Dem[ocrat]? Gah this is making my head hurt.

I presume that "deem" was used in the sense of the colloquial expression "deemed public enemy #1." And for a Tea Partier, to believe [deem] something makes it true...

I actually believe the "deem" is a reference to deem and pass, which the Democrats were trying to use to pass the health care reform bill (don't know if the ended up using it. For some reason, the only thing on the news has been the "Terror Mosque" fiasco).
As for the lipstick comment, I believe that it refers to the saying "lipstick on a pig" i.e. a pig is still a pig, even if you put lipstick on it (of course, some of the solutions to the Ship of Theseus problem would disagree with that statement, but let's not go there).
So, to sum up, the sign would have been shorter if it was replaced with the following: IMPEACH OBAMA HE'S A SOCIALIST
Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. I believe in this whole-heartedly.
And I appreciate anyone who has the gumption to protest despite their handicapped abilities to articulate what they oppose. Their right, and ours, to a freedom of speech is something few in this world can savor. Another right we should not forget to savor, though, is the right to mock them.
Some of these signs have been floating around the internet for a while and could be called classics, others are new. They just needed to be collected in one place. Please enjoy, and share it with your friends.
