18. do you mean he did get to have to drive through them?
i wonder if he soiled his pants like his master would have for sure--for otherwise, why all the helicopter and police protection and free speech zones etc.? if he did have to drive through them he will probably go back with some big tale and the repression will get even greater--just watch and see...

and, if he was protected and did not have to drive through them .... then, ...

but, either way, since i don't know for sure which way it was, unless someone tells me clearly, i'll have to say, pardon my density.

We just had some protests here this week at the Ft. Lauderdale Convention Center and people were kept a couple of miles away from the bush boy and his ass-wiping nanny.

36. For me, the best part of these pictures is ... these protesters ain't kids
Not dissing young people, but the image of protesters is young and enthusiastic. BUt many of the protesters I see, not only in this set of pictures, but in pictures from other events is showing middle aged, 'average' people. You know .... salt of the earth types .... *ahem* heartland types .... middle Americans.

And I think that's very telling.

And I like it.

39. Ruck Fove and Buck Fush, that's great.
Sounds like an SNL anchormen skit.

I'm glad to see the word "minutes" because it carries more weight than "memo," and it's the Truth.


Thanks for sharing, Iwin :)

Did Rovey see any of you, or did he wuss out and arrive by helicopter?

Looks like the June Gloom has come to SoCal along with Rove. How fitting.

48. Hi Lonestar! Thanks for the great ideas last night!
Your sign was a big hit at the rally. Well, the Dems & Greens loved it...the Pugs had the usual miserable scowls on their faces. :rofl:

It was so much fun. We live in such a Red area, so we are constantly having a GOP lovefest shoved in our faces. It was nice to get a little of our own back. The press was there too, so it should be in our local papers tomorrow.

Lwin

51. i found this in daily news.com

only twelve protesters?

or are they down playing it?


"Referring to a group of about a dozen protesters outside the library's sweeping driveway entrance, he noted impishly that they could come to his next speaking engagement: at noon July 4 in Death Valley."

(great pictures, by the way)

53. Lying piece of shit...
We had a lot more people there than that...probably 50 or 60 (though honestly, I was too busy sweating in the Bush mask to get an exact count). Screw the lazy Daily News (circulation 4) for not even bothering to check with us.

The Ventura County Star and the Acorn at least tried, until the police threatened to tow their vehicles.

Here is a quote from the Star:

Rove also drew laughs when he apologized to the audience for the protesters, a first at the Reagan lecture series. He said it was only fair he make public his plans for his next speaking engagement.

Well, at least we know the demented bastard saw the protest. Got Gannon, Karl? And they acknowleged that it was the first protest EVER at one of these dog and pony shows! :rofl:

60. Pictures do not lie and are worth a thousand words
First and foremost, great job people and thank you for showing up...

Second, the person who has the sign that reads, "Govt propaganda is illegal" needs to put that sign in Mr. Rove's car and have Mr. Rove hang the sign in a very visible place in the White House for everybody to read.

64. Sounds like Karl didn't like having to pass by the protesters
Snip from an article today:

"I'm returning shortly for another talk ... on July 4 ... at noon ... in Death Valley," he joked. "I truly hope to see some of the protesters there."

What's the matter Karl, were you embarrassed by our presence? :rofl:
