WTF is this in the audience at the shrubs V-Day speech?
Upper right corner. It looks like something from "Scary Movie" or the Grim Reaper.

1. Jon Stewart pointed it out on TDS last night.
"It's the X-Files alien!"

13. Was it the same pic? I wish we had a video
so that we could do a comparison. How wild!

15. I am at work, so I can't do the video thing here.
But I THINK you can access videos from here:

Here are some footnotes to The Daily Show:

6. He also had a bobble head in one of them.
There was a woman seated just behind him positioned to be on camera above his Right shoulder. She nodded at the appropriate times, shook her head with a grim look when called for, and emulated sheer jubilation when applauding. :puke: I think it was yesterday's speech.

I also noticed some of the troops looking down at what Bush's Brood would call "in-appropriate" times. LOL!

7. Subliminal advertisements have been known to include a "death's head"
Sometimes you can see them if you analyze a photograph, usually in the upper right-hand or upper left-hand corner. It is intended as a symbol of course for the fear of death, which to counteract it we pursue life more avidly, and so it is used in ads such as for whiskey and fast automobiles, et cetera.*

But this is way beyond the pale. If that is someone posing as the Grim Reaper or something has been arranged for it to look like "death," the stagecrafting of bush has jumped the shark.

*This was from quite a few years ago. I haven't read much on subliminal advertising lately.

9. That's interesting.
I wonder if it's REAL or if it's been photo-shopped. It IS from CBS News and I have found it other pictures from that speech. It's quite eerie.

18. Obviously.
I really don't see why/how this is an issue. It's clearly a military patch on someone's shoulder/chest area.

20. It's not an issue.
It's merely a question of curiosity. Having been in the military, I don't recognize the patch. I've never seen a military patch that large in my experience. Not to mention, if you had seen the video, it's clearly not on the shoulder/chest area. It's on someone's face.

it definitely looks like someone is wearing a hood and a mask.

22. Yes.
And thanks for validating my statement. The questions is why are they wearing that mask?

12. What I want to know is
what branch of the military is it that wears a suit and tie to battle?

I mean, aside from the Miami 2000 stormtroopers . . .

14. could it be, "the scream" personified? or, perhaps
Edited on Tue Nov-15-05 10:59 AM by flordehinojos
an embodiment of GWB's paranoia?

or perhaps even ... his own personified premonition of,
"they're coming to take me away, ha, ha, they're coming to take me away"!
