MORONIC CONVERGENCE: September 15, 2007; Washington DC
Puppets. Let's get that out of the way, shall we?
Yes, there were puppets. Small and aging puppets. And stilt-walkers. That's new. Sort of.
Once again, my video[s] will concentrate on the oddities ... especially the musical oddities ... present in these protests. Stuff you won't see otherwise. The speeches you can hear on C-SPAN, etc. and they're boring anyway.
I'll probably have one video, however, dedicated to my walk between the ANSWER Protest and the Gathering of Eagles [henceforth: GOE] Counter-Protest. There was about a 10 foot corridor between them.
I call it "The Gauntlet".
**** CHECK BACK FOR VIDEOS ****
**** UPDATE: SUNDAY 09/16/2007 ****
Here's my second video: More Protest Music. It's still processing through YouTube so it may take a while until it actually works, though YouTube is getting quicker at approving these things. UPDATE: It's live ... go ahead and click!
I think it's my best work. Hope you enjoy!
**** FIRST VIDEO IS UP ****
The last time we saw this puppet it was being blown to bits crossing Memorial Bridge. It is definitely the worst for the wear. I have a few words with the creator in one of the videos.
Sticking with the jokes ... there was a small Ron Paul representation at the protest. Most people kept their distance.
And of course, the ultimate joke ... Ramsey Clark ... was there in person. I got kinda close, ya think?
Then there were the "normal" insanities one expects at ANSWER anti-war protests:
These ... I have no idea where to even begin ...
... and then there was the just plain ugly.
Or just plain stupid.
Or, well ... er ...
Then there are the surprisingly sentient and yet oddly insane ... and happy [!] ... jew-haters ...
The Iraq Vets against the war marched ...
Some folks got arrested ...
And then the party ... well ... just ... er ... died.
We wanted to ... well ... pull the plug on the whole thing ...
... but then Santa showed up again and everything was OK!
YEAH!

Excellent job!
Everyday is Halloween dress-up day for these nitwits.
Sorry to bring the party down, but I saw "Santa" putting on his costume - it wasn't the real Santa. Just some guy in a Santa suit. I know, I know, it upset me, too. I was sure Santa would be against the war in Iraq.
Thanks for the article! Some folks protesting against our troops just can't seem to understand that our freedom that we all enjoy in this country was obtained for us by our military.
Freedom isn't Free!
I don't agree with from what I gather are your politics, but I did enjoy these pictures as I noticed a lot of weird crap at the rally too. Did you notice that Santa had dreads and also could not spell?
You can see a picture of Santa's illiteracy at

Great pictures as always! You have to wonder if the average American understands what the "anti-war" crowd really represents.
Did anyone chant the following at that anti-War rally?
"Copulate!
Ejaculate!
TROOPS HOME NOW!"
If they didn't they should have. After all, that's Mama Moonbat's mantra....
I went to the first one, and it looks like the Nutjobs could use some new material, the picture of the moonbat holding the sign about Petreus was new, but sad...
Good coverage and I linked your site from mine, It might get you one or two hits.... LOL
Funny how the professors of the universities fail to let their students know the consequences of these protests.
The enemy they are providing comfort to, would slit their throats first... The enemy's the Liberals are making here at home, will eventually come back to haunt them when they need to work for a living, or if we have our own revolution.
Death to all liberals..... has a nice ring to it.
Thank you for your post, I will also link you and post a couple of your photos
Love It!
I have the video linked over at my site. I will steal your photos at some point as well to share with my co-workers (I work at Whole Foods) via my web-site - giving "The Age of Hooper" all the due credit of course. A bunch of my co-workers along with the few hippie moonies in our valley went to the corner by the store and had a "Peace-Rally" (e.g., anti-Bush/pro-conspiracy rally/why veganism is good "rally"). If I had it off I would have got a nice "Protest-Warrior" type sign made up.
So all I could do is comment as I saw the "Peace Symbol" on shirts and jewelry. This is my opening line:
"Oh wow, I sure have seen a lot of 'Broken Crosses of Nero' today."
The customer would look inquisitively at me, "Broken cross of Nero?"
I would reply (and it would always go like this), "Yeah, the 'Broken Cross of Nero' was the symbol Nero took as the symbol for killing Christians/Christianity by making human candles out of us in his garden or feeding us to lions. In the 60's, the peace movement adopted the Broken Cross of Nero to signify not 'killing' Christians but the 'doing away with' or defeating of the old moral standard found in the Judeo-Christian worldview."
They would look at me almost in disgust at this new information of what they were inadvertently supporting. I would then finish with, "The peace symbol is to the Christian what a swastika is to a Jew."
So I had a little fun with the "peace-rally" being so close.
Great to see the American People retake the power.
I love the pictures, but just so you know the guy with the Cross is not part of the Answer Crowd - he's a pro-lifer who is doing some big walk for 2 years carrying the cross - the guys and me were jeering him as he came over but then we learned hes not with the demonstration and apologized , perhaps you should re label the picture or take it down.

If the Special Olympics
and Mardi Gras formed
into one,this rally
is how it would look
and sound.
The Movement is as decrepit as its Sixties chronicler, Norman Mailer.
as always you give the best coverage of these moonbat rallies. Even better to see the multiple comments. Thanks for giving middle America a realistic view of the cute little parades
