I just got back from the coronation/protest. Ask me anything!

[sbj405]

I hate republicans more than ever after seeing their smug faces up close.

[cry baby]

1. How many protesters were there? n/t

[sbj405]

6. Not really good at estimating crowds,

Lots of boos and no cheers when the limos went by.

[Maat]

2. Do you have any idea why Rethugs support him?

Did they look like people who had been absorbed by the "Borg?" Or Stepford people, or whatever?

[sbj405]

7. If I could describe them in one word - FUR

I had no idea people even wore fur anymore.

[McKenzie]

3. were they hissing...

"eeeek, natural light, gerrit offa me...it burrrrnsss!"?

[sbj405]

9. No but a 50 y/o rehtug grabbed by friend (30ish female)

Talk about irrationality. We were 3 women walking on a sidewalk and this guy wanted to start some shit. I'm not one to take it, so I got up in his face. He backed off. He'd have been stupid to hit me in front of 100s of cops. But then again he was a rethug. I put nothing past them

[OhioBlue]

4. give us some details....

smug faces of the * regime or all brainwashed * supporters in general?

[sbj405]

10. A lot of smug face and "Four more years"

That's all they seem to know how to say. Also, a lot of "sheeple" Generally, they seemed nervous to be around the protesters as if we're the war mongers or something. We got called "communists" a lot.

5. How'd you stand it?

I thought I could watch the coverage, but I turned it off early this morning.

I thought I could watch the evening news, but the first thing I saw when I turned it on was a closeup of Mr. and Mrs. Smuggest Faces ever, Junior and Pickles. I have never seen the Mrs. look quite that self-satisfied and self-important. I had to turn that right off too.

[sbj405]

13. We didn't see any of them up close.

They didn't dare step out of the limo near the protesters.

I am happy to report that there was a lot of booing and jeering at the 4 media trucks.

[Lex]

8. Did you throw this snowball at Cheney?

[sbj405]

11. No I wish we had thought of that. Some kids had made a snowman by us.

Would have been great to hurl the whole thing his way.

[Lex]

14. Thank you for going and raising your voice in protest.

I really do appreciate that.

[Texasgal]

12. sbj405

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to you for standing up for what you believe in. Thank you for going and showing the rest of America that OUR VOICES COUNT!

I am am in awe... thank you.

[sbj405]

15. Yeah. We wanted to be counted and we wanted to show * and the world that

there is no mandate, damn it. A friend told me "well it won't do any good." She's wrong. It will and we are going to keep protesting and holding this admin to task.

[ronnykmarshall]

16. Were Jenna and Barbara passing a bong?

[sbj405]

17. So that's what was going on behind the tinted windows.

Damn, they didn't pass it my way.

[Maat]

18. Take care! Rest! Thanks!
