[Gabi Hayes]

37. am I just stupid, or does the graph make more sense if the line has

a negative slope, instead of positive?

who cares....the girl is smokin'!

[HughBeaumont]

48. It's not just you. The line is the wrong way.

The louder the voice, the more moronic the message usually is.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

49. Love how we liberals know words like "Veracity". And, pitchforks.

[OneGrassRoot]

29. Here are sign ideas people submitted before the rally to HuffPo:

[PA Democrat]

36. Those are great.

[HopeHoops]

30. SERIOUS RECOMMENDATION regarding the OP...

That's a good number of pictures for a post. If there are more, start a new OP with about the same number of pictures and back-reference this one (and/or earlier ones) with a link at the end of the post. That will both keep it fresh in the "Start Time" listing (which I use) and avoid the "too many pictures" syndrome.

[seabeyond]

32. heads up, there are a couple posts that have additionally fun pictures. nt

[Kadie]

33. Already have a list started for thread #2

Pics are not coming up as fast as they were earlier, but I should be able to put up another thread soon.

:hi:

[blaze]

39. Thanks you, thank you!!!! n/t

[tabatha]

31. The intelligence and creativity

are like a breath of fresh air.

What a difference.

No hate, narrow-mindedness, bigotry, etc (insanity).

[Zax2me]

34. Love the 'it's not easy being green' suit guy!

[NNN0LHI]

35. Shave the whales

:rofl:

[Gabi Hayes]

38. notice how really HAPPY everybody seems, as opposed to how many ANGRY/sad faces at the

wingnut rallies?

somebody should do a facecount

[Gabi Hayes]

42. seen on the CSPAN broadcast, just now...this sign:

''Fear is my religion''

[Scurrilous]

45. K & R

:thumbsup:

[kath]

46. I'm not real sure about the guys in sombreros and ponchos.

Whadya'll think?

[mr1956]

52. Me thinks they're Young Republicans crashing the party.

[Liberty Belle]

47. San Diego reporter wants local participants and photos from this rally

I need photos taken by people who can give permission for me to reprint them, and quotes from any local participants especially if you're from San Diego's East County. Email [e-mail].

[onehandle]

50. Awesome! nt

[readmoreoften]

53. Yeah, it totally shows how STUPID people are at actual rallies.

All the yelling and the marching and the demands for reforms. It's all a bunch of buffoonery. Real social change happens through entertainment programming, fun, and personal creativity. If you can't be pleasant about it--I don't want to hear about solidarity with Chinese factory workers or the erosion of abortion rights or black operations in Afghanistan. The truth is so shrill and unreasonable!!!

[davidwparker]

54. K&R

Thanks for posting.

[awoke_in_2003]

55. "tens of thousands of people are expected to attend"

what a bullshit meme. K&R

[Manifestor_of_Light]

59. Very very cool!

[lib2DaBone]

63. What a great day.. call out the Rupukes and the MSM.....

Make the Teabaggers face up to the fools that they are...
