WASHINGTON - NOVEMBER 05: Anti-abortion demonstrators, including Fr. Norman Weslin (R) of Omaha, Nebraska, refuse to leave Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) office while tearing up copies of the health care reform bill at the Cannon House Office Building November 5, 2009 in Washington, DC.

1. I don't see a functioning ovary in the bunch. nt

[tigereye]

8. ha!

good one.


When I was a pro-choice escort in the 80s, you seldom saw one either. The antis with all their hideous signs are always older folks or men.


I hate how that crowd can only see their own limited agenda.

[blondeatlast]

23. But likely all on Medicare and Social Security. nt

[Kievan Rus]

33. Social conservatives: They hate women, blacks, gays....

lesbians, bisexuals, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, Democrats, libertarians, moderates, liberal Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, disabled people, poor people, so forth and so on.

To them, you only matter if you are a wealthy, able-bodied, heterosexual, Protestant white male. If you aren't all of the above, you mean nothing to them.

2. One thing to protest but totally another to trash the place on purpose.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

3. Litter

I assume Rush Limpballs can not say the protesters picked up their litter

[Xenotime]

7. He probably told them to do it.

These people are sick.

[Ineeda]

4. disgusting pigs. n/t

[bobbolink]

18. Interesting. Same thing we are called when we protest.

I guess nothing ever changes, eh?

[blondeatlast]

24. Do you purposely trash your area? If so, it's deserved--but I bet you

clean up your own messes.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

5. oops

[Dramarama]

6. WHo's going to clean up the mess ;(

[valerief]

11. Socialists probably. nt

[Chipper Chat]

17. I suggest sending the bill for cleanup to Michelle Bachman.

"The nanny in me made me do it."

[mstinamotorcity]

27. YOU KNOW WHAT

I SECOND THAT S--T that is part of a nanny's job

[NoPasaran]

25. First thing that came to my mind!

[Mz Pip]

9. How many babies die

because the moms don't have pre-natal care?

This people do not seem to be capable of critical thinking.

[valerief]

12. They've got the brains of zygotes. nt

[Hansel]

15. No, they don't. They are truly morons.

Besides your excellent point, they voted for a man who premeditated the willful unnecessary killing and maiming of more American citizens without cause than anyone in our history just so he could help prevent a fertilized egg from being aborted.

I'm sick of people and the MSM allowing them to continue to get away with using the "pro-life" title. They aren't pro-life. They are pro-controlling everyone.

[mikeSchmuckabee]

10. Sounds like they need to move the office

farther away from the airport men's room. The friends of Larry meeting obviously overflowed.

Looks like that priest is more upset than when altar boys don't reply to his inquisitive text messages.

[bobbolink]

13. I understand protestors demonstrating against things they believe are wrong.

BUT.... equating this health care proposed bill with abortion .... doesn't compute.

From everything I've heard, the bill changes NOTHING about abortion in the US, so I don't get what their point is.

They hate paper?

[me b zola]

14. Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch

These people are nuts:

[bobbolink]

20. ^_^ I was thinking of that just the other day.

Quite the image... thanks for reminding us of a real comic relief...

[me b zola]

35. The pics in the OP reminded me of the Terri Shiavo protesters

~prolly the same people. I was hunting for the pic of the Shiavo protester who was flopping around on the ground looking like she was having a seizure. Unsuccessful, I went with the image that would bring all of that comedy back.

16. MICHELLE BACHMAN, CLEAN UP ON AISLE THREE ! ! !

[Arugula Latte]

19. Old white men telling women what to do can go fuck themselves.

[blondeatlast]

21. Every last one on Social Security and Medicare, I would guess. nt

[krabigirl]

22. :( These people need mental health assistance.

[seabeyond]

26. geez. nt

[Kurovski]

28. It's the Million Year-Old Man March I was predicting.

What a buncha slobs.

Do their wives clean up after them at home?

Why do i have to ask?

[frylock]

29. if fred phelps and the subject from munch's "the scream" had a baby..

[AllieB]

30. Hideous.

[bobbolink]

36. Well, yes......

but here's the fact of the matter... do you think the pictures of US when we protest are universally attractive?

Really, there is a lot to disagree with in this action, but when we reduce it all to superficial stuff, we earn no points.

[proud2BlibKansan]

31. Were they arrested for littering?

[Kievan Rus]

32. For once the coppers arrested pro-rich demonstrators

[Odin2005]

34. That person with the pro-life sweater is scary!
