1. That about sums it up. Thanks! (N/T)

[usedtobesick]

2. doesn't really show how few of them there were

but it does show how many of us there were. Great pictures!

[Athame]

3. Send it to The Daily Show

Been waiting for this juxtaposition. Great shots!

Our little demonstration in Ventura, CA had about 300 people (legitimately counted on the march) and that's how I know that the Pro-War people in DC could NOT have had that many by a long shot!

4. Must Drive FReepers Literally "Mad" to Know

There are so many "caring" individuals (Lib-ur-als) in America. Actually, 'round the entire globe.

Good panorama viewpoint!

[Gman]

5. It really does

They resort to slurs like "well, we have to work. We have jobs." That's about the last thing they can fall back on too, regardless of the fact its not true.

I love it when their heads explode.

[ET Awful]

10. To which I respond . . . well I have a better job, I get weekends off

:)

[Gman]

15. To which they say, "Yeah, probably a union job."

Like that's a bad thing. Jealousy rears it's ugly head.

[ET Awful]

16. Then I say "Nope, not union, just a company that's closed on

weekends."

[NMMNG]

6. But they all have jobs you know

I mean, the bulk of them work all weekend :eyes:.

Bwahahahahahaha :rofl:

Nice pics!

[Be Brave]

7. Hey intheflow! Great shots!

LOL! Point taken.

What software did you use to paste the photos into a panoramic? Good job!

[intheflow]

31. It's the cheapest version of Photoshop.

It's what I could afford and it does the trick!

[Griffy]

8. COOL.. I was standing just up the street!.. I think i see me!!

I watched from near the start, and talked to good people..

it was amazing... it just kept going and going.. over an hour... 100,000's

.. and i LOL when I heard on AAR radio news that about 400 showed up to the pro war tea party.. and I bet some of them are recuiters!.. I hope!

9. You can clearly tell who the majority is.

Thanks for the pics. :hi:

14. MORE BUTTER??!!

What the hell is that supposed to mean?
:wtf:

[chefgirl]

28. OK, so I Googled "More Butter"

This is what I saw:

More Butter, Less Guns
Examples of the benefits of less "guns" and more "butter":. From Norman Long's
Informational Society site (see links) After World War II, the Americans ...

(AND)

Examples of the benefits of less "guns" and more "butter":

From Norman Long's Informational Society site (see links)
After World War II, the Americans built a digital computer using vacuum tubes for military ballistic studies. Like many post WWII technologies, computers were originally created for military purposes; however, the real advances did not materialize until they were applied to business problems thereby creating a large demand, which promoted advances through economic competition

I'm still confused.

30. Maybe it's a liberal infiltrator.

Freepers are so stupid, they probably never even thought to question the sign.

I know there were definitely liberal infiltrators. For example, in the photo in my OP, the woman holding the sheet to read it is my cousin the uber-liberal. She found a signature that said something like, "I was a life-long Republican and my father is buried in Arlington, but I oppose this war." and he signed his name. So I'll bet there were quite a few infiltrators in there being subversive in little ways.

Which is sad, really, because that would mean that we're counting infiltrators in our estimates, which mean even less people were there for the freeper rally.

33. "More Butter, Less Guns"

But why a Conservative would be carrying THAT sign, I don't know.

[ET Awful]

17. Why are those people in the background carrying Western Union

signs? :evilgrin:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

18. Perhaps the longest arms that I've ever seen.

And look at the callouses on the knuckles.

[CitrusLib]

19. Most of those guys look fighting age. 4-F?

[Democrats_win]

21. God "curse our enemies?" Forgive them for they know not what they do.

They go to Pat the Assasin's church.

[FreedomAngel82]

25. Oh gosh

:eyes: "More butter"?? WTF???

[WritingIsMyReligion]

27. Now THERE is a prime example of

compassionate conservatism. Yeah.

:eyes: :eyes:

[Lisa0825]

12. LOL

That is a shining example of a picture being worth a thousand words!!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. That-is-too-funny!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Blue_In_AK]

20. Hey, ITF

I was lurking around the Freeper protest, too, but I didn't see you. I'm still downloading my pix, but I'll post some soon, too. I LOVED hanging out with you and UsedToBeSick and Marty. It was one of the best weekends of my life. <<hugs>>

[intheflow]

32. Hi Blue!

Glad to see you made it home okay. I agree, the weekend was a blast, and hanging out and getting to know you made it even cooler than it would have been anyway.

I'll pm you a little later to organize our DC photo smack down. :hi:

[FreedomAngel82]

22. LOL

Hilarious. The difference is amazing.

[FreedomAngel82]

23. Don't you love the flag descretion?

For people who proclaim the loudest to be the most patriotic they really descreted that flag.

[titoresque]

26. I keep seeing this but it's not close enough

what did they do to the flag?

[intheflow]

29. I'm not sure, but maybe this?

While I was taking photos of the anti-war protesters who were protesting the freeper fair, suddenly the freeps let out a huge cheer. I thought it was just because military 'copters were flying over, so I took this shot. Later I learned it was Bushit flying home.

Anyway, note the flag. It's written all over. I'll bet that's what people mean by flag desecration.

34. D'oh! It'd help if I posted the photo

I referred to in the above post:

24. Us, and them

And after all we’re only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows it’s noz what we would choose to do.
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side.
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end it’s only round and round.
Haven’t you heard it’s a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There’s room for you inside.

I mean, they’re not gunna kill ya, so if you give ’em a quick short,
Sharp, shock, they won’t do it again. dig it? I mean he get off
Lightly, ’cos I would’ve given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion, but really...i mean good manners
Don’t cost nothing do they, eh?

Down and out
It can’t be helped but there’s a lot of it about.
With, without.
And who’ll deny it’s what the fighting’s all about?
Out of the way, it’s a busy day
I’ve got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.

35. IntheFlow

You are the only person that I met that I knew was a DUer.
http:jarnocan.blogspot.com I posted some photos will add a few more from Sunday and Monday.
I wish I had NOT been so tired Sunday and heard Cornell West speak at the Interfaith service or made it intime to see him at the whitehouse Monday before he got arrested.
If anyone has a picture let me know. I also just missed Cindy twice on Saturday, but I met so many wonderful people.

37. Hi jarnocan!

Yes, it was so odd us meeting that way on Monday morning. (Odd in a good way, of course!)

How did your lobbying effort go?

[jarnocan]

38. Mixed in Nj

Anytime I get near Russ Holt's office or hear about him I get a warm glow and feel more optimistic about our future. http://vvlobbydays.blogspot.com -some nice pics etc. from last June.
Anytime I get near Mike Ferguson's I feel the opposite. However his role model Delay just got indicted http://www.democracyinaction.org/publiccitizen/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1289 You can use this form to write congress BTW I have most of my pics up now from the weekend- wish I took yours. http://jarnocan.blogspot.com
