Obama has been using these to drum up sympathy for his cause, and it's time to make him own them.
Start calling them what they really are:
Obamaville
Spread the meme....

I visited the Occupy San Francisco camp (Justin Herman Park) on the 29th -- there was a rally at 3 p.m., as there is every Saturday. About 1500 people were in the march around the downtown area of San Francisco. The pictures are from this rally. Please distribute freely.

First, we had the TEA PARTY
Ten, we had the FLEA Party
Now, we have the TEAT Party, those who demand we all belly up to the government sow!
Protest Warriors could run with this.
California’s Cap & Trade scheme is the equivalent to being forced to pay a fee and ride that bike. 
In a hilarious vignette that illustrates in miniature the absurd unfeasibility of the whole “green energy” scam, the Occupiers had set up a bicycle connected to a dynamo so that the computer in the media center would be powered by renewable and sustainable energy! Yeah!
Except…well, it’s really really hard to pedal day and night to keep the computer running, so the media center is in reality powered by an extension cord connected to the evil carbon-belching power grid. Note the feeble and ineffectual greenish wire running from the dynamo to the computers. Oh the shame! http://pjmedia.com/zombie/2011/10/24/is-occupy-oakland-as-bad-as-they-say/2/
Looks like being stoned is on the day’s agenda.
How does one distinguish between the occupiers and the everyday residents of the Bay Area? The two naked guys might just as well be pedestrians heading to work.
Effective photos, but it would be a courtesy to FR and its users if you learned to to reduce them to half their present dimensions (1/4 the area and file size).
I like it — “Obamaville” — Democrats OWN this movement.
I’ve been labeling them “FLEABAGGERS” for a while now — “TEATBAGGERS” might catch on too.
I’ll have to look through my picture archives from these various rallies. I remember one making a “teat” reference. Probably some reference to banks being on the public teat.
Of course Paulsen hauled in the CEO’s of 9 banks in 2008 and demanded they take the TARP money — yes, the banks were at the public teat, but at the point of a gun.
Exactly! They had the same setup at Oakland as they did at Zuccotti Park (Wall Street). Supposedly, in NY they had some tech gurus from MIT and elsewhere supposedly helping them with the bike generator setup — but it looked primitive to me. That’s what smoking dope around the clock will do to your brain. Garbage in, garbage out.
LOL -— that’s true — especially in the Castro district!
MIT!!
I was wondering how they maintained 120v @ 60 cycles for the electronic equipment operate properly , driven by a “Hamster Wheel”
Stay Safe :)
Thanks for the feedback, FRiend. True for those that don’t have high bandwidth — it’s a compromise. But I had to make the photos have impact, to deliver the full impact of each image, while still taking into account the average speed of a typical download on FreeRepublic.
I have a professional camera setup. I use professional quality lenses and pay a lot of attention to the quality of my images. The images here are processed from the original high-resolution RAW file in Photoshop. I apply color calibration, cropping, and many other processing steps prior to each photo’s final highly compressed JPEG format presented here, as long as the process doesn’t materially editorialize the image (the most “editorialized” is the blurred penises). I already reduced the images to 1/4 their native size, in many cases. All of them are reduced in resolution to at least 1/3 or slightly greater, even with a crop.
I want these images to be circulated as widely as possible. They can always be reduced, losing detail, but can never have detail added by enlarging. Thus the disclaimer in the title to my post.
I drove by on Friday. It looks like they have portapotties with a large trailer nearby. Do you know what’s in the trailer? I’m guessing showers.
