- Hey,if you think that what Keira wrote is bad,you should see what some of the
- more Neanderthal RTLers in Chicago have done. They convinced the CTA (our,uh,
- alleged "rapid transit" service) to put up ads on buses and trains showing a
- swastika (as well as some other Nazi-era symbol which I can't recall) next to
- a pro-choice placard. The incredibly obvious (to the point of stupidity) con-
- clusion that they wanted everyone to draw,of course,is that pro-choicers are
- the moral equivalent of Nazis. Needless to say,the Jewish community wasn't
- real pleased about this. I haven't seen any of these ads on the buses and
- trains I've taken,so there's the chance that the CTA rescinded their decision.
