More Protest Detritus:

Here's some more pro-terrorist flotsam from Saturday's ANSWER demonstration.

**** If you're looking for the video of this demonstration, scroll down ****

First for some personal recurring lefty protest nightmares and issues. Stuff I just hate. "Reality-based Community" indeed.

Check this one out. Forget the message for a moment and concentrate on the swastika.

Don't these people do any research? As far as I'm concerned, this is as bad as any spelling error. Worse, actually. With spelling errors, we all hit the wrong key every now and then. Sometimes, in all the excitement, our eyes and brains just skip over entire words. While I think it's kinda funny from time to time, I can also kinda forgive it. Kinda.

But, I mean, what does it take to open a book ... any book on WWII ... and just look at a Nazi swastika and check your work? Of course, why should I expect these types to actually fact check?!?

These are the same dudes that spelled Israel "Isreal" [see below] ... same lame yet probably pricey print job.

It doesn't take much. Just a little effort folks. This is far more common and, given the context much much worse.

Let's forget for a moment that these were made from glitter stickies purchased, no doubt, at their local Michael's. Set that aside for a moment. Why can't these "peace lovers" get the peace-sign right? Don't they ever see one? Why do they constantly confuse it with Mercedes-Benz? I swear there's at least one of these at every peace rally. This has got to stop. Here's yet another assault on simple spell-checking habits.

Why is this difficult?

What's wrong with ... before you leave the hospital ... just taking that one last (it could be longing ... that would be OK) look at your masterpiece BEFORE you reveal it to the world?

Or penciling your message in lightly before setting Sharpie to pavement?

I mean really ... what's wrong with that?

Am I asking too much?

Well ... at least they caught it this time. I'll give them that.

Mel Gibson, by the way, is now a real hero with this crowd. Amazing.

Don't let people confuse you by claiming that this was some sort of "peace rally". Here's an example of what was really going on. In other words, organizations that shoot at Jews are OK. The problems begin when those pesky Jews begin to shoot back. Speaking of pesky ... since when do radical religious groups become associated with the "Workers World Party"? What every happened to the "opiate of the people"?

Of course, you know, Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Ladin could never have cooperated on anything because, well, Hussein was a secularist and Osama a fundamentalist. Those never go together. The new pantheon of lefty heros. This chick (right) was actually kind of cute in an odious sort of way. If you watch the video [scroll down] you'll see her arguing that Hezbollah never hides behind citizens. Nope. Not ever. Israel at least knows the value of real estate. If you have access to a certain area then you use it to best advantage. Sheesh. Here we have yet another example of lefty "nuance". On the plus side, she did manage to use space well and that's a pretty good use of color. The lettering could have been more distinct but with this crowd you take what you get.

These are the type of wares typically sold at these demonstrations. Notice the top row. Don't forget that ANSWER is simply a front group for the Communists. They're still out there and, frankly, with anti-Semitism and Muslim extremism they seem to have hit their niche. Like that's a surprise. ... and you can always get those hard-to-find books. Visa, Mastercard and American Express welcome, of course. Aren't these the folks with thoughts too "nuanced" to fit on a bumper-sticker? Chuh. Che was surprisingly rare at this demonstration. I guess that ANSWER figured he wouldn't be much of a sell for most of the Muslim audience who are, I assume, mostly merchants who might even have a few Cuban buddies. For you youngsters out there, 1-2-3-4 W.D.W.Y.F.W. translates to: 1-2-3-4-We-Don't-Want-Your-F*cking-War. That's a 60's Vietnam throwback. Kinda makes me nostalgic, actually. Graced, by the way, with a real peace sign. It's not like these people don't have examples they can draw from, you know. This guy was very reluctant to reveal the Che. But he finally did come out, slowly from behind the sign. Creepy. Are they reading this blog? There's mounting evidence ... more pre-printed signs and a distinct absence of puppets. I wonder. OK, I may be making an ass of myself here and I'm by no means a mathematician ... but, really, what's the point? As it is, and assuming of course some biases on her part, doesn't this approach one (1)? Does she want the equation to approach zero (0)? That would mean more X and Y and less PB and LB. The greater the bias and sedation of the UN the more likely a cessation in hostilities? I assume that when the "price" is zero then it means the war's worthless and hostilities would or should cease. If so, then it's bought at a price of fewer casualties. So fewer casualties makes it "worthless", right? Yet, the more casualties the greater the "price". Does that make it "worth it"? And at the parallel price of greater "bias" and a less active UN? Of course it could also mean less of both but that's not terribly logical. As each factor lessens (assuming they lessen equally), the equation still hovers around either one (1) or whatever it was to begin with. Even if each factor became almost infinitely small it would still hover around one (1). Is that her point? Does she want the "price" to be a large number? That would mean more PB and LB and less X and Y. So she want's a more active UN and less "bias" along with greater Muslim casualties? That would make the war a "price" that's "worth it"? I don't get it. Just how anyone can see "The Lord of the Rings" as supporting the leftist agenda I just can't imagine. Yet they do. And I know ... his "Middle-Earth" is different, sorta. Yet not. He's definitely making a reference. And, by the way, anyone who's actually read the books knows that it's "Saruman". What a bunch of freaking illiterates. 'Til next time folks!
