Chris Baker just announced a Houston-area Rally for America - Saturday, March 1, at (I think) Jones Hall. More details to follow!

Well, they altered the faces on the photo. Good work gang!

[Xenalyte]

Not mine, they didn't!

[Flyer]

Not mine, they didn't!

Still have that email link?

[Xenalyte]

Sure do - should I be polite?

[PetroniDE]

Need some time to think of something.. For the moment, next time we take some pictures of them, post the actual photo and a "doctored" photo (even admit that it is doctored) to the FR people, and limit their use to political cartoons/humor. Judging by some of their signs, not always obvious which is real and which is fake.

Don't think overloading server is worth it. They don't need the hits.

Let my Italian blood cool down; maybe I come up with something better. Calm demeanour my (you know what).

[Xenalyte]

Just sent:

I notice that while you altered the other faces, mine is still the same, albeit small - second from the left. Please either alter it entirely, or remove the picture immediately. Thank you.

[Flyer]

Nice and polite. You are, or can be, such a lady.

[PetroniDE]

Fair for them, fair for us. I think for the next counter-freep, watch some of MY artwork.

[humblegunner]

I agree.. A doctored parody pic is nothing to be very upset about.
Flattering, really...

[humblegunner]

Is that a VLAC?

Very Large Array of Computers indeed!

[Flyer]

Even my dog is ROFLOLing!

[Xenalyte]

Just got this back from Miz Betty. Very polite, I must say.

Thank you for you note. As the point of my piece is to make a social/politic point in a satirical way and certainly not to embarrass any individuals, I am more than happy to accede to your request.

Although if you harbored any serious concerns that anyone would recognize you from such poor quality image, I am surprised you venture out in public! (joking)

Have a lovely day,

Betty

I’m just now coming in, and I’m just now seeing this. Just a thought folks, but this is just political warfare. What do you expect from a bunch of professional political agitators. I would send them a nice note, and tell them how funny we think it is, and how cleaver they are. As far as threatening legal action, please pardon me, but shame on y’all.

Those of you who know me know I never shy away from a squabble, but this ain’t worth one. A few of Dix’s rules of warfare are: Never let them see you sweat. Arrange to attack when they they least expect it. And PICK YOUR BATTLES. Besides, I think all of you looked better in the doctored version. Heheheh. Just kidding.

[PetroniDE]

I tend to agree with you dix, but in this case, they are making the accusation (and implied conviction) that we are racist homophobes. That is not simply parody or political humor.

If there is one thing we all agree on, it is that the liberals can't take what they like to dish out. I say give some of it back and make picture parodies of THEM. Ironically, it is not always obvious with them which photo is real and which one is fake.

Very similar to my small cat. Acts big when he wants to, but one squirt with the water pistol and he turns into a little baby.

Just seems an interesting take some have regarding the humorous doctored pic. I'd venture an observation, chill out dudes and keep your sense of humor intact as it prbably will be needed for the next round of protesting, especially if they know where you tie your goat up at.

[humblegunner]

such poor quality image

I do not create poor quality images.
Homechick needs to kick her TRS80 to the curb.

Great that you got a reply, though.. shows a tad of class on her part.

[dix]

I guess I can see why you are upset because we have been unfairly characterized, and I do believe there are certain times when you have to nip things in the bud, but I always try to consider the source. Let’s see now . . . has any lib/commie ever called me a racist homophope? As usual stunts like that only prove once again they have no ideas to counter us.

BTW this is only the start of this type of thing. Just think it’s like the quarterback who has to take the first good hit from the other team before he feels like he’s in the game, and ready to play.

[PetroniDE]

Both of you gentlemen are probably correct. I will calm down and retain my sense of humor.

I CAN REALLY BE FUNNY. Just wait until I get my paws on a couple of pictures of the liberals. HEH HEH HEH.

[Ron H.]

..... HEH HEH HEH

I'd always been told that two can play that game. Go to it Petroni. I'll enjoy them as much as anyone else around here I assure you. We seem to have quite a few talented graphix enabled folks around here.
