Where do the Democrats stand on feathertapping?

I haven't been impressed by the strength of dissent at this convention, but it's good to see that old fashioned Dada still plays:

The flipside is written in the Cyrillic alphabet, and the pranksters handing these out were calling on Obama to make his position on birdwatching clear.

Dada... during live convention coverage the other night on MSNBC, someone was waving a "bring back Crystal Pepsi" sign in the background.

One of the classics:

"From the archives: The best, most appropriate, and mysteriously prophetic comment about the late Ronald Reagan was made by J.G. Ballard in 1967, an innocent time when the idea of a lousy B-movie actors running for political office was still considered an utterly ridiculous idea

[At the 1980 Republican Convention in San Francisco a copy of the Reagan text, minus its title and the running sideheads, and furnished with the seal of the Republican Party, was distributed by some puckish pro-situationists to the RNC delegates. It was accepted for what it resembled: a psychological position paper on the candidate's subliminal appeal, commissioned by some maverick think-tank.]

================================================
WHY I WANT TO F*CK RONALD REAGAN [1967] by JG Ballard [excerpt from "The Atrocity Exhibition" ]

RONALD REAGAN AND THE CONCEPTUAL AUTO DISASTER. Numerous studies have been conducted upon patients in terminal paresis (GPI), placing Reagan in a series of simulated auto crashes, e.g. multiple pileups, head-on collisions, motorcade attacks (fantasies of Presidential assassinations remained a continuing preoccupation, subject showing a marked polymorphic fixation on windshields and rear trunk assemblies). Powerful erotic fantasies of an anal-sadistic surrounded the image of the Presidential contender.

So, is this supposed to also be a reference to how McCain is an avid bird-watcher, or just random?
