This is the picture and little blurb associated with the article:

The Daily Progress/Megan Lovett

While most demonstrators protesting the president’s visit stood alongside Route 20, some with tickets caused an outburst during the ceremonies at Monticello. No protester was arrested.

"Palmer wore bright green robes, a foam crown and had her face painted white to represent “the death of liberty,” while her husband, dressed in black, was “Darth Cheney.”

LOL at Darth Cheney. Little do they know that they used a very positive characterizationof our Vice President.

The prosters were lined up outside from about 6 am and got a "salute" from one of those Rich Conservatives:

At least two, including a limousine driver headed toward Monticello, gave protesters a less-friendly finger gesture.

His passengers must have approved.

“What better thing can I teach them about free speech than bringing them out here to show them free speech?” she said.
Teaching them about free speech is one thing. Teaching them to be a$$holes is something quite different!

Dana Palmer stood by the side of Route 20 dressed like Lady Liberty to teach her kids a lesson in free speech.

I thought she was teaching her kids that her parents are idiots.

Best part of this "article" is this little gem:

"Most people held up signs of their own creation with messages including, “Healthcare Not Warfare,” “Save The Bill of Rights” and “Who Would Jesus Bomb?”"

These protesters are too stupid to realize the irony of placing "Healthcare Not Warfare" RIGHT NEXT TO "Save The Bill of Rights."

Someone explain to these morons that free health care is NOT a right, especially not one enumerated in the Constitution. *snicker*

There is a time and a place for protest, this wasn't one. It should of have been a time of celebration for new American Citizens. Instead, it turned into a senseless display of blatant disrespect. The protesters did nothing but showed the world what kind of mindless self-serving media-whore idiots they really where.

Sarah Lanzman, an organizer and Center for Peace member, said the protest was about protecting the Constitution from what she described as attacks by Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

Ask any one of these asshats what liberties, constitutional rights, or freedoms they have lost, and their eyes glaze over..

Sorry, Klinger beat you by 30 years.

The funniest thing to me is that if there were no war in Iraq these people would still be screaming for impeachement. And if the Pres were a Rat they would be foursquare in favor of the exact same war. Loonies.

Ya call this a protest ? in my day.....

>>Pat Dowd, a longtime Charlottesville resident who participated in protests in Washington in the early 1970s, said young people are not as politically active as they once were.

“We really thought we could change the world when we were kids,” Dowd said. “Kids [today] don’t have that feeling.”

Nothing sadder than a person who will not grow up.

[faithinchaos]

Like I said many times here before, code pink shouldn’t be walking the streets let alone protesting anything or anyone. They ALL should be in prison for treason.

These are the same pigs that gave money to terrorists in Iraq. The ones who are killing our soldiers.

“What better thing can I teach them about free speech than bringing them out here to show them free speech?”

And what you taught them was that your free speech has NOT been impinged. You were not handcuffed, imprisoned, hung on the gallows, or shot.

What you did was in extremely poor taste under the circumstances and blatant evidence that it is "all about you." Ho-hum.

Try pulling this nonsense in Cuba, Iran, China, North Korea, Iraq under Saddam Hussein, or any number of other places in the world, and see what happens.

Lady, and I use the term loosely, you should be teaching your kids to kiss the precious ground they walk on that has been paid for in blood.

[jmcenanly]

Why is it that conservatives can make their point just by speaking or writing, whereas liberals seem to need props and costumes?

“We really thought we could change the world when we were kids,” Dowd said. “Kids [today] don’t have that feeling.”

Yes they do, you a$$, they are in the military, protecting your sorry butt and making it possible for you to make a fool of yourself.

“We don’t want to hurt the ceremony for the new immigrants,” Lanzman said. “We just want to state our constitutional right that someone who has destroyed our Constitution should not be at the home of a president who initiated it. … That seems very disrespectful to the memory of Thomas Jefferson.”

This woman is really stupid. Thomas Jefferson was the writer of the Declaration of Independence. James Madison is credited with the writing of the Constitution.

“We just want to state our constitutional right that someone who has destroyed our Constitution should not be at the home of a president who initiated it. … That seems very disrespectful to the memory of Thomas Jefferson.”

*snorts*

This guy’s one to talk, considering the party he no doubt supports is the one actually destroying our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

“Mommy, daddy, you two are weird.”

[PghBaldy]

“should not be at the home of a president who initiated it” Maybe she’s thinking of the Declaration of Independence. James Madison wrote the Constitution.
