“Bush has it backwards–abortion is surgical; bombing is murder.”

Then there’s this one: “Send Jenna.”

Or: “Blame Florida.”

“But if you want make your own, here is a list of slogans that were used in previous antiwar demonstrations…”

Some will say that all antiwar activism is empty-headed sloganeering; if so I’m just playing into my critics’ hands with this post. But even thoughtful antiwar indignation has use for catchphrases, it seems. I love ’em. For example:

• “Hans Blix — look over here.”
• “Let Exxon send their own troops.”
• “War is so 20th century! “
• “9-11-01: 15 Saudis, 0 Iraqis. “
• “Don’t waive your rights while waving your flag. “
• “Drop Bush not bombs. “
• “Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity. “
• “I asked for universal health care and all I got was this lousy stealth bomber.”
• “How many Lives per Gallon?”
