i'm with you on the lack of exposure jake. and no need for dudes in thongs. although, i guess you can make the case for end dick?

and i love the "give bush the finger" pair. although they are almost all very witty.

these people make me wanna say bring back the hippies...and i hate hippies

Total lack of exposure huh. I guess I didn't miss much by going to the March on the media protest :)

The picture of the guy in a G string is making my penis very sad.

great. ... that's all i can say.

The chick in the 10th photo down makes these all worthwhile. She's Smokin!!!

i think this kind of makes the whole protest look like a party, and kind of a joke. this is like burning man east. weird.

Damn, a lot of those women are hot. Looks like a great party. Too bad it's fucking useless, no, worse, HARMFUL, protest. Way to make the left look like a bunch of flaky hippies. Nice going.

I am in the ARMY and I love what bush did, I want to fight for my country to protect others, not so some Hippie retards can protest what I do for a living. If someone has a problem with what we are doing they can suck it up and shut up. I get sick of hearing all about the protesters and trying to get bush out. Forget them. I hate protesters, the just need to quit crying and grow up. Nobody wants to listen to the whine about stupid stuff. I am just sick of all of it.

i couldn't agree more, "sac".

some of the protest stuff looks good but i feel there's a huge contingent of foolish street theater which basically makes the left (which i definitely consider myself a part of) to be "flaky hippies".

and what's the point? they're not open to the message. better to be newsworthy in ways which will attract SERIOUS coverage from the mainstream media.

this stuff will get covered as novelty news items because they're a bunch of "hot chicks in underwear".

ugh. i mean, i have nothing against hot chicks in underwear but i think it's hurting not helping the cause.

It seems meant as silly spectacle, a mock version of 70s hippy-protest in the modern day context to gain some quick media attention towards the greater effort. It's not an "end", in-and-of-itself - some folks are taking this far too seriously, and certainly out of context to the larger demonstrations.

And, the "ugh, not a *man* in a thong" commentors deserve a slap in the face. By said man's dick.

I think your complaints are unfounded. God forbid we should interject a little originality and levity into our political discourse, for crying out loud. Don't take yourself so seriously. There was plenty of serious morbidity at the protests on Sunday, and I think 500,000 people or so got a serious point across. What do you want? Will 500,000 military grunts marching down public streets ready to smash heads to get their political point across make you happy? That never was and never will be the political left. When I see the left engaging in that kind of clean cut, militaristic, bland and boring tactic, I will know that there is no more hope for America.

And Jason, you’re a complete moron, which is probably why you ended up with a gun in your hand fighting other morons in the desert rather than in college, or starting your own business, or contributing to society in any kind of constructive manner. Nowhere in the constitution does it say you have the right to love it or leave it. The only true test of freedom is active political dissent. What else is the point of freedom? We have the right to question our leaders and express our distaste for their performance. That's how we ensure a more perfect union. When there is an ideological idiot in office, being led around by crooked greedy men of no conscience, we have a right, nay, an obligation to express our dissent and actively work towards his removal.

If men and women of conscience find their leader lacking, or feel he is endangering the nation and the world in at large, it is their duty to remove him. Nobel scientists have written letters protesting Bush’s environmental, economic, and medical policies. People who have been working in national defense, foreign policy, and his own generals, who have served throughout decades of opposing administrations, have left their offices in protest of Bush’s actions. Your words are an insult to democracy and the mission of the US military, and are to some degree treasonous. I only hope you open your eyes and realize that as long as US forces illegally occupy foreign soil, there will never be freedom, there or in America.

Goddamn what ugly dykes!

oofest is a fag.

Charles Dickens called. He wants his pomposity back.

Justin, that was funny!

Some of you might want to do a little READING. Education doesn't hurt; it's actually good for you. You've heard about subsversion as a mode for change, right? Maybe not. Again -- Learning is good.

Screw the comments about flakiness. Who are you, fucking Republicans!

Amazing. A protest where they aren't destroying public property and assaulting the police...except for that guy in the panties...that's an assault on my well being. :(

Cobalt Lion: Your comments are why Bush WILL win in November. America is sick of your immature, elitist rhetoric. I think it's sickening what you said in response to Jason, the man in the Army. I respect people's right to disagree and protest (though I thought feminists were beyond using their bodies to get attention), but you hurt your own side when you make ludicrous comments and assumptions about servicemen and women being "morons" for joining the military and defending your right to be the bigger moron.

Lisa: Dick Cheney and George W Bush think Jason is a useful idiot. I don't, like the current administration, disrespect people who join the army, but they have to remember that it's a free country and it's no good whining and bitching every time someone disagrees with them. If you don't like our country, protesters and all, don't join the Army. Go live in some other country where they let the Army shoot protesters. Defend my freedom, or don't. But don't defend it on the condition I don't use it.

I happen to be in the service, as well, and Jason got less than was coming to him. When he spouts such nonsense as, "I am in the ARMY and I love what bush did, I want to fight for my country to protect others, not so some Hippie retards can protest what I do for a living. If someone has a problem with what we are doing they can suck it up and shut up. I get sick of hearing all about the protesters and trying to get bush out. Forget them. I hate protesters, the just need to quit crying and grow up. Nobody wants to listen to the whine about stupid stuff. I am just sick of all of it."

He discredits both himself, and the Army (which, by extension, discredits me) because his oath was not to Bush, but to the Constitution. That being the case his attempting to shout down disssent (which Teddy Roosevelt called best form of patriotism) is in direct opposition to his oath.

Whether or not I agree with the protesters, I promised, and most swore an oath; before God, to protect that right, and that means we have to support it, not just refuse to suppress it. At the very least we have to conone it, not condemn it.

Did Cobalt Lion step across the line with, "And Jason, you’re a complete moron, which is probably why you ended up with a gun in your hand fighting other morons in the desert rather than in college, or starting your own business, or contributing to society in any kind of constructive manner,"? Yes, I think so.

The disdain his comments imply for those who serve is less than judicious, and in some ways injurious to his cause (not that he could persuade you, were his discourse all of sweet reason, your mind has been made up, and all the facts: the flip-flopping of this president [we don't need a Dept. of Homeland Def, yes we do. We want Bin Laden Dead, or Alive, no, he is unimportant, all the lies (have we found the WMD? Did he serve his tour (and I couldn't caree much less if he skipped out, that was a different era, but the lying about it, the repeated attempts to hide the facts... that speaks to a lack of moral fiber), the failure to denounce the Swift Boat Boys (when they were lying... Kerry had the decency {though perhaps misplaced} to denounce ads he thought crossed the line; they were merely mean, these were lies), the damage to the economy (and how much did you save in taxes last year?) these things are important, but you won't see them.

No, his error was in equating service with some failing of ability, intelligence or desire. It's a funny holdover from the Puritan streak of our nation's founding that one gains value from being wealthy, from being an entrepreneur, so much so that when Cobalt Lion is trashing Jason, he is using the ideas of Bush, et al., to do it.

I know, and if pressed most will claim to believe, that joining the service is not a lack of ability, or skill, or intelligence. For some it is a way out of a dead end, for others it is a chance to give back. For some it is a purely mercenary endeavor (meant to pay for college). For others it is the adventure, or a family tradition. For some it is a calling. It is a needed (though unpleasant) segment of society, and Cobalt is lucky we don't have the draft, or the press gang, which means people like Jason, and I, can get shot on his behalf.

But it doesn't, on it's face, imply any lack. What failings Jason has would have shown themselves were he Bill Gates, as much as they have now that he claims to be Joe Snuffy.

Some of you with a little sense and appreciation of history and what remains of any sense of ethics may want to take a look at MSNBC today http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19053382/

Not that liberals ever learn a thing from history . . .
