I couldn't resist going to check out the scene outside the Target Center in Minneapolis today when President Obama was due to speak on health care reform. Surprisingly, the demonstrators outside were at most half anti-Obama; the other half were pro-single-payer (universal health care).
There were a few who had subtle ways of getting their point across.
This guy had a two-sided sign, both pretty clever:
These folks were thrilled to hear that the text of their sign had been bouncing around the Twitter chatter surrounding the event:

Some brought their Don't Tread on Me flags, I assume left over from a teabagger rally:
And displayed them where children could find them. I wonder what this little girl thinks that flag means?
