Help! I'm looking for that photo that had appeared here earlier today.
It showed a sign in Freeper encampment that referred to Cindy as a "Bitch In A Ditch!". I don't think it was a Photoshop job, and I'd like a link to it. If at all possible, I'd like to have it from a news source rather than from someone's Photobucket webpage. I promise to use it to good effect.

2. That's the one. Thanks.
Its a Photobucket shot, and probably never appeared in a regular media webpage. Most likely, it was shot from across the road from the Cindy camp. In all likelihood, SOMEONE from the Freeper side of the road had a high enough IQ (>50) to realize how bad it made them look, and took it down.

I'll assume that it wasn't a Photoshop job, and will use it in a day or so. If anyone here can point me to an independent verification of that shot,I'd be eternally grateful. (Please excuse my obsession with "source". I wasn't always like that).

3. Elsewhere I found confirmation of that photo.
but in all fairness, it should be noted that Free Republic people took strong action towards the CREEP who had hung that sign.

Arrests, rhetoric highlight protests

By Thaddeus DeJesus and J.B. Smith Tribune-Herald staff writers

Sunday, August 28, 2005

CRAWFORD -– With five days left until the end of anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan's vigil near President Bush's ranch, Crawford became protest central Saturday as supporters and opponents of the Iraq war rallied, marched and simmered in 101-degree heat.

A handful also got themselves arrested, including a protester whose anti-Sheehan sign was deemed unnecessarily offensive by organizers of a large pro-Bush rally. The man carrying the sign became violent when he was asked to put it down.

Ken Robinson, of Richardson, Texas, who described himself as a Vietnam veteran, was carrying a sign at a “You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy!” rally. The sign read, “How to wreck your family in 30 days by ‘b**** in the ditch' Cindy Sheehan.”

Kristinn Taylor, an event organizer with FreeRepublic.com, heard about the sign and rushed up to Robinson.

That photo IS authentic. I'll use it with a clear conscience, although I'll probably mention the Freeper objection too. The point is that he certainly represented the attitude of many of those freepers.
