Ah, but the question wasn't "would others accept it and attribute it to your beliefs?", but rather "would you accept it?". My point was simply to suggest that the picture you posted a link to has no way of being authenticated as coming from the democrats and I highly doubt that it did.

And just for the record, I happen to not side with the democrats position on illegal immigration.

Yet you arbitrarily decide that the photo is some sort of fake- or nothing more than a ploy. Heaven forbid a democrat made that flyer. It's so much easier for you to think it's a fakery. Funny, from my POV, I find it hard to believe that a Dem would NOT do something just like it.

Oh well- like I said, you'll just decide what to believe. If I find more info, I will provide it. I am actively seeking it out.

My problem isn't with the flyer. My problem is with the text commentary by the blog.

Nowhere on the flyer does it encourage people in this country to vote illegally (and Democrat). Nowhere on the flyer does it claim to possess the endorsement of the Democratic Party (but GD already said this, I'm just voicing my agreement).

Having been in and around various events in San Francisco I can assure you that there are all kinds of really stupid things printed and distributed that have delusions of wit, relevance, and support that are in no way justified. What is actually amazing, based on my experience with left-leaning gatherings is that someone actually found two things actually on point to ridicule. Usually in any large gathering (in my experience) you'll find 119 different political issues raised at a single-issue rally and no issue will have more than 2 signs in support (including the on point issue).

Jsut as I find it hard to believe that I couldn't find a republican who would happily print a flyer that condones the beating of homosexuals. Would that, therefore, imply that the Republicans condone that?

I should have been more clear. I'm not trying to say that a democrat couldn't have made the flyer, just that it probably wasn't the democrats. Perhaps you don't see the distinction but I do.

And I think the person who wrote the caption is reading a lot into what the flyer says.
