Great slideshow of today's Portland demonstrations

[kainah]

It's from a local TV station. Quite a few photos -- only a few with *, many with the protesters & many showing some very spooky security. Highly inspiring with some great slogans and photos.

3. there are lots of protest pictures AFTER him, zidzi

I'm not sure how it came up for you, but I saw a series of pix on the left side that gave a preview & if you just click back on the protest pictures after the 4 or 5 of him, you'll get to see many more from the protests.

6. Thanks for posting this

I love looking at protest pictures:-)One thing I noticed, though, there were a few shots showing a large crowd of protesters, but no such shots of the "crowd" of pro-* people; I'd guess because they didn't have one!

7. but they had to be "fair and balanced" about it

Actually, one of the things I really like is when they show the piddling little groups of supporters that come out. The contrast is then even more stark.

Did you catch Dana Milbank's catty little comment about how * was met by "unusually large number of protesters even though he had seemingly come by a back route." (roughly) It was a nice little dig, unfortunately at the very end of his story.

CNN is claiming there were only 250 protesters. Drop them a note and complain!!
