Check out The Mudflats http://www.themudflats.net/ for commentary. She actually took one for the troops and went to both the Wasilla and Anchorage rallies. She has a stronger stomach than I do. :)

5. Great pictures/posters, and NO misssspppeeelllled words!!!
Edited on Mon Sep-13-10 07:49 AM by AnArmyVeteran
I was happy to notice one of my doctored photos of Sarah Palin's face ended up on one of the posters. It made me feel like I was there in a very small way.

6. First thing I noticed...I was going to tell eveyone that and
they say the tea bags are intelligent. But then I suppose a republican did the survey and they didn't know how to spell either. I love the signs right to the point and not stupid sayings.

12. There actually were a couple
"homecomming" and "resilent," but other than that, I think everyone did pretty good. :)

37. So they were devious false flagger-baggers?
But if they don't know how to spell, how do they know how to intentionally misspell?

Damn! Now I'll be pondering this poser all week...

Curse you, AAV! :)

16. Compare the faces to the faces of a teabagger rally
Edited on Mon Sep-13-10 02:27 PM by CLANG
Looks like we have most of the normal looking, intelligent folks on our side. Unfortunately the teabaggers have the under 90 IQ crowd, which is quite a lot of people! Of course I'm speaking in generalities and from my personal perspective - I could be wrong.

One edit: Great photos! I wonder if any of the 'baggers felt embarrassed. probably not...:banghead:

33. The young man who spoke at the noon rally
is from Morocco, but has been working in Southeast Alaska for the past three years. He was up here in Anchorage for a few days, happened to drive by our protest on Saturday and was moved to join us. He spoke eloquently about his own respect for the good people of America and the Christian religion and how he doesn't understand the motivation for this recent anti-Muslim sentiment. He was at the evening protest, too, and we talked quite a while about respect and tolerance and how Americans are viewed in the Middle East. I was reassured when he said that most people over there like Americans -- it's just some of the policies of our government that upsets them.

So the truth is they DON'T hate us for our freedoms. They don't hate us at all.

24. Thank you
I really loved seeing these. In addition to the obvious, they gave me a sort of homesick feeling...lol. I lived in Fairbanks for many years and spent time in Los Anchorage also. I did keep looking for people I knew in there too...lol. Thanks again for these.

28. Amazing. No misspellings.
I didn't look at them all, but at a bagger gathering you don't have to go much beyond one or two pics to find one.
