Democrats Forget to Proofread Anti-Romney Airplane Banner…Again

Aug. 29, 2012 6:37pm Jason Howerton

For the second time this month, Democrats have hired a plane to fly a banner intended to insult GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Republicans. And for the second time this month, the banner is getting attention for all the wrong reasons, specifically, for another glaring grammatical error.

The Washington Examiner’s Byron York reports that Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse on Wednesday sent out pictures of a new banner, which is set to fly over the Republican National Convention in Tampa. While trying to claim that Romney, Rep. Paul Ryan and Todd Akin are all too “extreme” for women, they once again forgot to edit for grammar.

Woodhouse specifically described it as “our plane.”

Pics from our plane in Tampa: bit.ly/PQMc4g, bit.ly/PQMdVX, bit.ly/PQMc4i, bit.ly/PQMdVZ

— Brad Woodhouse (@woodhouseb) August 29, 2012

“Romney-Ryan-Akin Too Extreme for Woman,” the banner boldly proclaims. Obviously, the word “woman” should actually be “women,” as many elementary school students could tell you.

Democrats Forget to Proofread Anti Romney Airplane Banner: Romney Ryan Akin Too Extreme for Woman

(Source: Twitter)

Last week, when Romney and his running mate appeared in Ohio, Democrats hired a plane to fly a banner intended to say “America is better than birtherism.” Unfortunately for them, the banner actually said “America is better then birtherism.” This is from Saturday:

  I think the grammatical error in the first banner was a punctuation error. I think it was supposed to read, “America is better, then, birtherism.”

  The Dems aren’t running out of money, That is what the main stream media wants you to believe because so much stimulus money is in the winds waiting to flow into the democrats campaigns now and in the future it isn’t even funny. They know if all the dollars were there that they would the people would be outraged at the amount of tax payer funded donation they might very well drag the Obamas from their sleeping beds and go all french revolution on them.

  You are half correct. Bush and Kennedy pushed “No Child Left Behind” the biggest government intrusion into education. The author of the banner may have graduated as the class valedictorian or at the bottom of the class. To the government, there is no difference.

Did you note as the characters were introduced, the play on the supposed Latin genus names? THE COYOTE (overconfidentii vulgaris) title remind you of anybody in particular?

  Here are a couple examples of the products of union controlled liberal schools where education doesn’t matter, the only thing that matters is they participated. Whether they learned anything or not doesn’t matter. They occupied space in a classroom and that was good enough. AAAAH yes, the great American educational factories. In the front door and out the back, just like producing a car or refrigerator, not a student, not a human being but a product.

This not a neglected to proof read error. Libs never learn to spell nor do they need to since their lifetime career goal is simply to leach off the productive members of society. Of course, as applied to Obozo the Clown, he misspells only because his brilliant mind is so fast that lowly conservatives cannot even understand what he is doing.

It’s really not that they forgot to spell check it. They thought that it was correct. And they call conservatives dumb. Their next banner will probably mess up the spelling of “their”, “there”, or “they’re”.
