Brainless Gals in Topless Protest
Opinion Journal On Line ^ | 7 July 2005 | James Taranto

Posted on 07/07/2005 12:41:17 PM PDT by StrangerInParadise

Were we right or were we right when we said that the mindset of Karen Finley, the vulgarian "performance artist," had taken over the Angry Left? Check out this report from the San Francisco Chronicle:

A dozen anti-war activists from Mendocino County took their tops off at high noon in San Francisco's Union Square shopping district Thursday, using what they said was their best weapon to get the public's attention. . . .

Members of the Breasts Not Bombs contingent, which included seven women, three men and two young girls, said the war in Iraq is indecent, not their nakedness. . . .

Breasts Not Bombs said they are trying to make people uncomfortable to get their anti-war message across and to also desensitize people to nudity.

Of course, as we noted last month, such shock tactics "make people uncomfortable" only insofar as they fail to "desensitize" them.

The irony of it is just sweet. These women would be stoned to death if they tried this crap in the very country they are siding with. They bask under the umbrella of our Nation, and then they question the method in which is provided.

Geezy, peezy, don't these boneheads have jobs?

Say, that one gal sure has some swell armpits.

"Breasts not bombs?" Perhaps we should drop some of these people on suspected Taliban hideouts? That would show the SOBs!

And they claim the war is indecent.

When it's long enough, hard enough, and in far enough; it's indecent.

DOH

I'm amazed that you are still capable of coherent thought, much less capable of operating a computer. Either that, or your wife needs to give my wife lessons in not taking life so seriously.

LOL, no problem. Just a reminder that on FR names can be deceiving.

If these women really wanted to use their boobs to end the war, they would try to appeal to the 16th century throwbacks in al-Qaeda that there's more satisfaction with a liberated woman, than with the cuncubines that they prefer. The only little problem with this is that these women are ugly.

Do these look like "natural supplement" women, or what? : )

Oh, I'm bad...

Hey TX--Sherry Glaser was on Medved's show yesterday. Seemed like a nice enough woman, but what a toon. She even had her 9 year old daughter taking her top off at the protest. She slipped up a bit when Medved questioned her about that and she said her daughter looked like a boy in that area so it was no big deal. She's admitting right there, that there's a difference between a boy/man going topless and a woman. Sherry also said she is a weeper as well as a protestor and even performed a little bit of that on the show.
