This morning people reported an “America is Better Then Birtherism” banner flying over a Romney/Ryan event in Powell, Ohio. Or is that Oiho? Pesky spelling and grammar, always getting in the way of progressives’ shoddy messaging.
Some Twitterers wondered if the word “than” was just misspelled in the tweets, not the actual MoveOn.org banner.
Than, no? RT @JanCBS

Sadly, no. Bless their progressive hearts. The error was real and it was spectacular.
MoveOn makes a grammatical error in banner trailing a plane overhead Romney's rally "America is better THEN birtherism" (confirmed w/binocs)
