I was perusing the net this morning when I found an open thread at Ace’s place that linked to this series of vintage ads.
It is pretty clear that none of those ads would pass muster in the west today, but looking that them a 2nd time. It would seem to me that most of them would pass muster in the Islamic world.
So my question is this: Look at the vintage ads in the link and tell me how many would be unacceptable in the Middle east?
In fact let’s have a poll
I think it’s an interesting question

The amount of Obama 08 bumper stickers I saw on people’s cars after passing through 6 States could be counted on the figures of both hands
One of the oddest things you see is sometimes are groups of 10 of the same sign vs groups of 10 of the opposite sign in the same area. Why bother?

The biggest difference in this year vs other years instead of trying to motive the “youth” vote that maybe comes out one year and poof, this year it is the 40 & 50 somethings who are getting involved, and they will STAY involved. Thanks tea party.

…where 7 people live, hit the shower ASAP instead of blogging first.
Had a rather hot exchange with my Arch enemy friend Chris back at my post, he got there earlier than me and had a different perspective, check out his comments and the updates.
It’s a good lesson on not judging. I figured he was calling me a liar and he thought I was lowballing numbers. He didn’t know I was counting only crowd members allowed in the main room (6600) and I didn’t know his perspective was ALL the guys in the room including security, the people on stage, the people working the event etc. (a lot more)
See how misunderstandings on motives can come simply from a different perspective? That’s why comments and talking are so important, if he hadn’t questioned me on the blog I wouldn’t have answered and we would have both thought each other couldn’t be trusted.
There is an important lesson there about people with different political perspectives there and getting along. One should always try to assume good faith because apparently both of us saw what we saw at slightly different times.
Update: Chris tell us in comments that he was one of 3000 fans bussed in from all over the state. Well I’m sure that news reinforces the idea that Democrats can generate a crowd for the president in Boston on a Saturday without a problem.
