So our troops are "baby killers" again eh?
They'd better walk over to the Planned Parenthood building and start counting the dead babies there. The last count was 1.2 billion world-wide and 48 million here in the US.
Maybe the MSM cameras will follow them there...or maybe not.
great pix.. and aren't they such LOSERS...
will be interesting to know how embarrassed they will be in 20 or 30 years huh?
thank you cinnamon Girl!
thanks nutmeg...always enjoy & appreciate your pings
Hey,I knew hippies.Hippies were friends of mine.

Kirby Puckett?Didn't he sing Woman with the Union Gap back in 1967?
There were thousands.
They had predicted a hundred thousand, but I think it was way short of that, but there may have been ten or twenty thousand, maybe more.
Too bad the islamofascists would not strike that crowd.
LOL, great comments on the photos.
Does Jane look embarrassed? She has been at it for more than 30 years. She took a little time off to do the marry-the-billionaire thing, but now she's rested, ready, and partying like it's 1971.
but she is a prima dona..not a "real person" IMHO
I was a product of that generation & for every Jane Fondas there are a 100 folks who "get it"..
I suppose you are right. Still, it seems like a lot of young non-celebrity lefties have also managed to turn into old non-celebrity lefties without ever seriously examining their own beliefs. No self-examination, no embarrassment.
I'm too stupid to know I live in a Republic.

The last picture and caption was worth the "price of admission"!:)
That's all I can think of when I see these people.
I do see camera angles set for close-ups that show sloganeering and theatrics, but very few crowd shots -- and those few don't show huge throngs.

I noticed, when we were protesting Gore at the Naval Observatory building back in 2000, that the photographers would deliberately take shots from behind our first line of people. Since we are polite, unlike the Lefties, people would clear out of the way to give the guy room. The effect was to make it look like they had more people and we just had 5 or 6, whereas we always vastly outnumbered them.
Captions are great! ROTFL!
