Picture of the Day


Dear Republican wackos....

Before you start complaining about "not being heard," might I direct your memory to the treatment of Dem protesters at the political conventions of 2004, when they were literally caged in "free speech zones" and surrounded by tens of thousands of cops with riot gear and truncheons... Snipers on the roofs.... Military, DHS, and local police spying, wiretapping, group infiltrations, sneak and peak warrantless searches...

(And to everyone else, remember, this was America just 5 years ago...)

  • Good point. When we were trying to stop a war based on lies that helped destroy an economy, there wasn't even a tiny fraction of the coverage the Birthers are getting, or the town hall rioters.

    Scary image.

  • Yeah. I've been trying to find a non-whiny way to say that for days.

    A half million plus march in new york against the war, millions more around the country and the world and the only coverage was CSpan.

    A couple dozen wackos disrupt a townhall and they get 24 hour coverage across multiple networks.
