Yeah, Look at All the Dissent Being Crushed. We're Doomed, I Tell You. Doooooomed.

You know, if America was really a fascist dictatorship, and Bush was really Hitler, there's no freakin' way this would ever happen:

The co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream is on the road, towing a 12-foot-tall effigy of President Bush with fake flames shooting out of the pants.

Ben Cohen says it’s an acceptable way to point out what he calls the president’s lies.

It may be dumb, and it may not change anybody's mind, but you've gotta give the guy credit for originality.

UPDATE
I thought about this a little more, and I realized something: Bush bashers seem to have a problem with facts. I know everybody knew that already, but stay with me. How exactly does Mr. Ice Cream Man here expect to enlighten people by making an effigy of the president? Does he think people are going to see it and go, "Holy crap, you're telling me Bush lied?! I haven't heard that yet! I will now dedicate my life to fighting the evil neocons!!!"

Seriously, what do you fargin' morons hope to accomplish with these little stunts? Simply telling people that Bush lied is just preaching to the choir. Unless you actually justify your position with facts and logic, nobody is going to listen unless they hated Bush to begin with.

But of course, the left is notoriously bad with logic. I think that's the problem. Since their positions are based on emotions, they figure that if they play on other people's emotions, they'll win support. They don't seem to realize that some of us actually...you know...THINK about what we believe.

Sad. Hilarious, but still sad.

Sadder still is that I have purchased my last container of their product. No matter how much I enjoy consuming it, I can no longer contribute to this.

[neolib] What? You can't do that! Are you saying that just because Cohen disagrees with your facist pResident, he has no right to free speech? You digital brown-shirt! [/neolib]

You'd think that the guy (ya know, trying to sell ice cream and everything) would come up with something a little less unappetizing than what appears to be someone farting fire. That makes me hungry for Mexican food, not ice cream. Bad business.
