A closer look reveals...

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

This should be sent to Rush, Sean, O'Reilly and Fox News!

"What does the purple finger indicate?"

Shirley you jest.
But in case you are not
It is a polite way of giving the fickle finger of fate to the defeat party. And as a way of showing solidarity with the people of Iraq.

[Fintan]

Hey, that's really interesting, but...who's the babe???

 

[ExcursionGuy84]

[Fierce Allegiance]

It's how they kept track of who voted in the Iraqi elections a while back.

Nope, I've been in Saudi Arabia for four 1996-1999, dealing with Islamic Fundies and terrorist. And, In Kosovo the past five dealing with the Albanians, Serbs and the Islamic Fundies....where have you been the past 10 years? Reading the forums and watching football. :)) I returned last year to a strange U.S. and uninformed Americans. So a picture of Thomas Jefferson and a purple finger was the least of my worries.

So, when was the picture painted.....

For further information, this is the hell myself and others are raising about the current situation. I took it beyond the blogs and forum type locations. This is only the beginning.......Watch the next 2-3 years and your rights.....:) a purple finger will be the least thing you will be concerned about.....:)) You "ain't seen nothing yet"....
