Absolutely brilliant. The city of Troy, Michigan, had scheduled a vote to increase taxes 0.7% to keep the library open. The teabaggers started spewing forth, putting signs all over town to vote no. The library got crazy clever and started posting signs saying "Vote Yes to close down the library, book burning party 2 days later".

The response was amazing. The measure passed with a voter turnout 342% greater than projected.

There's a video at the end of the article that is an absolute must-watch.
