I'm trying to think how it could have avoided doing so...

Indians dumping tea in the harbor...

Don't tread on me...

The Sons of Liberty...

Taxation without representation is tyranny...

Give me liberty or give me death...

These are the times that try men's souls...,  The winter of our  
discontent...

I'm sure there must be more apt examples of symbolic speech, but this,  
I think, might be a start in the right direction.

As for the LR articles, that's something else again.
