Even as U.S. troops inch toward the Persian Gulf for a possible war with Iraq, anti-war activists say it can be difficult to rally outrage or media interest back home. So a group of Marin County women has resorted to the ultimate attention grabber: getting nude.

[M-cubed]

Pssst!....some body let them know that dying for there cause would be much more effective...Do something creative like laying done naked in the path of a herd of crazed stampeding elephants...The symbolism would be awesome!

[Parley Baer]

HMMMM. Looks like there was a high tide in that one photo with a few beached whales. I guess with virtually no brain the only thing they have Left is their nude bodies to protest with. By the way it's Conservatives that make the world safe for these idiots. Parley

Imagine?! Yuck.
(One can never gouge out the minds eye---yuck.)

Those bottoms at the bottom of the I and first E have those letters well anchored.

I looked, now I am going to be sick.

[Catspaw]

All I can say is that the cows in my father-in-law's barn had better udders.

The birth rate in The Bay Area must be zero, if these persons are the fertile fields.

Stop depopulation, clone!

[goose1]

What no girls on trampolines.

That public demonstrations, small and large, shaped public opinion and helped end the Vietnam War, apartheid and Soviet rule in Eastern Europe.

Sorry, I must have missed the nude demonstrations against Soviet rule in Eastern Europe.

In Frisco?

How many are left to turn?

[Drango]

From another thread and another Freeper...It's clear these women are,
PRO BUSH.

"...Some draw supportive honks and thumbs up. Other passers-by just shrug..."

And some simply extend their middle finger.

Ah, the peace movement. I went to the anti-Bush rally in L.A. when he appeared at a breakfast with Bill Simon. Every imaginable freak was there --- commies, pro-Mumia, ACLU attorneys, no war for oil, hug the trees, pro-aborts, etc. They do not take care of themselves, their message is foolish, and they smell. The nudity really adds nicely to their credibility, doesn' it?

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Maybe they have forgotten what pre-emptive war prevents maybe they need a recourse in history

Seems to me that fighting evil is its own reward its certainly better than dying in a ditch.

[MikalM]

One of the reasons these types have zero credibility outside of their own incestuous constituencies is that they never stay focused on one issue. They inevitably try to to tie one cause in with all the others in the leftist agenda. They'll start in on, say, the Iraq war...then immediately start ranting against corporations...blaming them for Mumia "I Snuffed a Honky Cop" Abu-Jamal being on Death Row...which he wouldn't be if Affirmative Action was defended...which isn't happening, because Abortion Rights are under attack...an obvious repression of Mother Goddess Earth and Her Old Growth Redwoods...which are being destroyed by the Evil White Male Patriarchy...the sworn enemies of Gays and Lesbians...who are being terrorized by Gun Owners.

Sometimes I think ideologues are just paranoid schizophrenics who are better at intellectualizing their obsessive fears.

Good poster!

It's the soldier, not these 'unreasonable women' who deserve our attention & gratitude!

It's the soldier, not the reporter who protects our freedom of the press.

It's the soldier, not the poet who protects our freedom of speech.

It's the soldier, not the campus organizer who protects the right to demonstrate.

It's the soldier, who salutes the flag, serves the flag, whose coffin is
draped with the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag!!!

"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect
us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need."

[Cvengr]

Hmmm,...a nude demonstration in favor of those who wish to target American demonstartions with biological and chemical terrorism,.....Darwin Awards ain't seen nuttin' yet.

Indeed, every whacked out group has found a home in the RAT party.

I just had to show the wife this thread!

Re: post #3, The Obigatory Spoof Photo, Piece is spelled out in nude bodies.

She was quick to point out this is the correct way to spell "Piece" when used as; a piece of a** or a piece of pie. What is a pie?

The spelling "Peace"; no war, etc.

I hate it when she walks away laughing, the wa !!!!!
