To be defeated. Example, "They Can't Lick Our Dick" (Nixon campaign slogan).



Seriously?




That ... is easily the most unsual political ad I have seen in my life. To put it mildly. ;-)

I am tempted to think it was satire? I mean, this would not have been very appealing to Nixon's target audience, would it?


As a former satirist, I am 99% sure that is satire. Certainly a majority like that wouldn't be silent for long! This looks exactly like the kind of stuff I was putting up around my college for George W. Bush.

Also, this sign has a great rhyme scheme; I almost feel like it needs "Burma Shave" at the bottom.


> Certainly a majority like that wouldn't be silent for long!

Now I have an image stuck in my head of a crowd chanting the slogan on that poster... Please, make it stop! ;-)
