I'm not even sure how to interpret that one. Honestly, I'm tempted to call IRL troll, but I know better than to hope for that.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

It's an old billboard, pretty sure it was put up during 06 midterm election. I do remember the logic behind it.

The guy who put it up argued that the 9/11 attacks were Bill Clinton's fault, and that's why people shouldn't vote for Democrats. In 1998 al-Qaeda bombed two US embassies, one in Tanzania and Kenya. President Clinton ordered that bin-Laden be either captured and tried, or killed. Later that year the US did a cruise missile attack against al-Qaeda, but as we all know bin-Laden wasn't killed in the attack, nor was he captured. Since he got away, and later planed the 9/11 attacks, it's Clinton's fault 9/11 happened since he didn't do enough to stop bin-Laden.

Of course this ignores the Bush administration overlooking a document with a title like al-Qaeda determined to strike in the US, or something similar.

That argument also fails since bin Ladin Was killed while a Democrat was in office and said Democrat ordered the kill.

I swear to gawd, if I'd known as a teen just how stupid this country was going to get, I'd have gone to live with my dad in Costa Rica.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Well, the T-shit (misspelling intended) is the dumb protest sign, not the comment posted about it.

Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

Twenty bucks says that person is one of the dumb ass newcomers who just discovered memes in the last year or so and calls them me-mes. If you've ever met someone like that you'll know what I'm talking about when I say I have to resist the urge to slap them.

Apparently this was published in the newspaper Hamodia, a popular paper among some Orthodox Jews.

Most ultra-Orthodox papers don't show women because they think it is immodest and will tempt men to sin. Even if she's a young girl in a photograph of Jews being threatened by Nazis. (Yes, there was an incident a while back Instead, they either photoshop the women out of the picture or blur their faces and bodies so that no distinguishable features can be seen.
