I was mistaken... the red balloons and rocket counts were set up by LionPAC in response to the violence in Sderot, not by the CU Dems.  Although the fact that I got this fact wrong speaks volumes about the effectiveness of certain campaigns.  Too often are there quick and eager impulses to protest and too little an explanation of the basic message or motives behind the attempt, resulting in a powerful display that ironically lacks in meaning.
