When Arianna Huffington met Rich Silverstein at the Google Zeitgeist conference, they realized they could work together on some ideas to help the Democratic Party. She invited him to blog about his ideas on The Huffington Post, but since he usually expresses himself best in visual terms, he wanted to see if he could "blog visually." The result was three posters that graphically capture the lunacy of the modern Republican Party. Rich Silverstein's thinking was, "What if we could TiVo the last six-l\plus years and play them back - without comment - for the American people, and let them connect the dots? It's not a pretty picture." The take away message is simple: "Haven't we had enough? Democrats '08." The rough drafts of the designs were posted on The Huffington Post. People were encouraged to add to the names, events and slogans depicted on the posters. Given the comments and input, the designs were finalized and printed. They are being sold on the website, and the ultimate goal is to fund a wall-sized version in a key city during the presidential elections. Approximately 2000 posters have been sold, and the search for the wall location has begun.
