Professor Deana Pollard Sacks snapped this picture with her cellphone at at the corner of Fries Road and Inverness Park Way in Houston, TX.
The McCain/Palin sign features a fetus waving an American flag overtop of the word LIFE. It doesn't look like official McMerch, but it's no joke.
I reached Prof. Pollard Sacks by email this afternoon and she confirmed that she took the picture. She believes the sign is sincere and not a parody because there are other more conventional McCain/Palin signs in the same yard.

Good work as always, Lindsay.
Dugg
Thanks, ES.
Ugh.
Thanks Lindsay.
This isn’t nearly as offensive to me as the Amazon.com Obama Halloween mask story of this morning.
I can understand and respect sincere, right-to-life proponents - even activists. What I neither understand nor respect, is the vulgarization of the issue by associating their views with a patriotic display of the American flag.
In the context of recent events in the presidential campaign, the pro-life wing is painting the pro-choice defenders with an accusing anti-American brush. Now there’s a convincing argument: Pro-life means pro-American. I suppose the picture stakes out a piece of pro-American territory that Sarah Palin would find more patriotic, easier to identify, and safer to visit.
Remember the lie about the fetal scream during an abortion? Now it’s a lie about the fetal scream, “America hater!”
