Slogans worth an article:
"54-40 or fight." -- settling the northern border of US
"Pedicaris alive, or El-Rasaouli dead." -- early venture into middle
eastern affairs
"We are Republicans and we don't propose to identify ourselves with
the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism and
rebellion." US 1884 election
There are many more.
That said, the AKFD thing has all the aspects of a troll, a patently
offensive, superficially defensible sucker play for attention,
disturbance, distortion, and endless dispute.
