http://www.flickr.com/photos/bootbearwdc/46285487/in/photostream/

scroll down to #259_5984 for the photo I'm talking about


I haven't seen a better collection of protest shots than here, not to mention his other stuff, much of which is compelling

God, the idiot who is holding the sign "Hippies smell" and then "eat all the hippies"...what is his PROBLEM?

If we all smell, they why would you want to EAT us?

3. ha...me, too! I almost used that one in the header, but that
little kid with his tongue out......

he also has an excellent shot of the "No Iraqis left me on a roof," or whatever it said

I just found his stuff on my flickr.com page when I opened it today.

I guess you have to go to the slideshow and look for the specific number on these:

259_5938

eat the hippie guy

there are, what, about three "hippies" out of all the protesters?

these people are seriously demented

with fava beans and a good chianti.

11. Nice pics
I love the photo of the three (very hot) policemen on the fire truck smiling and they seem to be laughing at something. And I like the Kerry sign too and the Orwellian nightmare. Too true! The one of the little girl with her mother is so cute! They both look happy. :) Oo a reformed republican! Yay! There are some really great and creative signs!

And I bet there're more where that came from.

as usual, some of the freeps are an unintentional vision of hilarity.

19. which one is that, please?
I dunno why flickr isn't allowing direct cut/paste, not to mention links to specific photos....

also, I strongly urge everybody to just sit back and do the slideshow of today's photos

try this. you can adjust the timing of the show; stop, pause, etc.
I'm pausing now to let all know to try this. very heart-wrenching beginning, at Camp Casey/DC

27. The "Furious George" monkey. The sign reads: "Seldom in Doubt.
Always Wrong"

The protest photos end on page 27.

The crosses beneath the Washington Monument got to me.

I dunno, some of those freeps looked like undercover guys to me. I'm telling you, I got a couple in my family.

and that picture of the monument dominating the field of crosses is wrenching, as are several of the boot shots

I think I'll contact him and see if he'll allow direct links of some of these pictures.....they need to be seen as referenced

31. That's a great idea.
Some of those shots are spectacular.

The woman with her children in front of the WH, just to name one of many.

And actually seeing the word "impeach" on a sign in front of the White House at long last is a bit cathartic, to say the least.

We've been plugging away here at DU for quite some time.

49. Nice juxtaposition.
Or comparison, or whatever you call it.

I remember there was another staged "pull-down" of a Saddam statue at the same time, only Chalabi's pals and what-not couldn't be in two places at once so that photo-op had maybe 5 Iraqis present. Saw it on the TEEVEE.

Remember when the troops put up the American flag over Saddam's statue, then quickly replaced it with Iraq's? OOPS! "But we're not occupying your land, or nuthin' like that, Iraq." :eyes:

I think it was actually a path for cows when it was farmland.

I used to take two of my nephews to Willow to use the playground when I'd babysit.

baseball field south of the ice skating pond

went to HF for two years

heard enough?

EDIT: which playground, the east one (tiny, with stones/no sand), or the west one, with monkey bars, swings, slides, etc?

I had my little finger crushed while playing American Eagle by big, fat John Harper when I was five or six

PS....the Supreme Court cowed the cowardly dems, who went along with the herd and let the pugs bull their way into the WH!

if you copy the photos as they are, without enlarging them, they are jpg images,
and can be copied. Once you enlarge them, they become gif, and you can't. :shrug:

set it so you have five pictures per page, then copy the jpg from the smaller photos, which is a shame, because they lose most of their impact with the relatively small size

so much better in larger format

thanks for the direct linkage, though!
