Taking one for the team, I venture into the belly of the beast...

[Blue_In_AK]

And believe me, I'm going to become one of those OCD scrubbers at this point. I feel so ... DIRTY

I'm not bothering to crop or fix up these pictures like I do for our protests -- these people don't deserve the extra attention.















They had a fairly decent turnout, but nothing like our "hold Palin accountable" rallies of last fall.

1. Why are these creeps always so ... unattractive?

I mean, stupid is one thing, but if I have to look at more ugly white people in baggy jeans and bad hats I'm going to throw up.

8. Because the ugliness on the inside seeps out. n/t

23. Thank you, my dear Canuckistanian!

I'm afraid so. :blush:

before this one gets locked.

5. What did I say?

More double entendres? It's hard to avoid when we're talking about teabagging.

6. I am thinking that some thin skinned reader might take this typo personally:

"Palin _____ "

[Blue_In_AK]

7. Boy, talk about a Freudian slip

Yikes. I'll fix it.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

14. Let me guess: an "o" was missing, right? -nt

[Blue_In_AK]

17. That would be an affirmative.

:blush:

9. Here's your DU Medal of Valor, Blue

Thanks for going in.

What's the population of that town? In my burg, that crowd would represent the whole town. In a city of one million, that many people would show up for a three card monty game.

[Blue_In_AK]

11. There are about 260,000 people here.

As I said, it was a pretty fair showing for these people, but nothing like the Obama rally and anti-Palin rallies of last fall. I have photos of those at my website under "politics" if you want to draw a comparison.

This is Alaska, after all, so I'm not all that surprised to see these rednecks out.

[sarge43]

16. Well, if two thousand people showed, that's one percent.

You're lucky only 1% are redneck, bigoted idiots. Compared to some places that's way under the norm.

[lunatica]

10. The words 'aimless milling around' comes to mind...

No one is having any fun. Maybe I should think 'sour aimless milling around' instead.

[Blue_In_AK]

12. Exactly.

We have fun at our rallies ... these guys are just pissed off, mainly because we have a black president, I suspect. They sure were silent over the past eight years while GWB did his damage, so it's rather suspicious that they're all worried about deficits and whatnot now.

[lunatica]

15. We have great rallies and marches and demonstrations

We have good causes. Anti-war, pro-peace, against violence. They don't have any idea what they're there for. It's interesting to see them all together, seething in anger. They aren't happy people.

[SoCalDem]

13. Just your basic angry mob..

:)

[BlueIdaho]

18. A beautiful sea of white faces...

That's not America - that's Fox News.

19. Were palin and her AG

nominee there?:)

[Blue_In_AK]

22. I didn't see them,

but I did see the despicable Randy Ruedrich, Alaska's Republican party chair. I think Sarah is on her way to the anti-choice rally in Indiana, or getting ready to leave. Who knows where WAR is -- probably somewhere with his head up his ass.

[Cha]

24. Startin' a

WAR somewhere.

[Cha]

20. And, I know what you mean by

feeling dirty and taking one for us.. I feel dirty just looking at the pics and the awful ugly stupid signs.
