  • Indianapolis Tea Party

    Ok, so Caro and I and her ghey Dog Mosby headed over to the Indianapolis Tea Party this afternoon, and thought I would share some pictures.

    As fortune would have it as we were a block away we were on a sidewalk when I realized that the man walking alone next to me was former Congressman and current IN Senate Candidate John Hostettler. I’m a bit of a fan of his, although not certain if I would support him in the primary or not. (I missed voter reg by 2 days.) Either way, I introduced myself and he seemed to remember me from some testimony I gave in support of a bill he authored.

    I’m not even going to guess how many folks there were there, nor the nationalities etc.

    146-1

    These pictures don’t really do justice to how many people were there.  I have some others that show more, but I had to have Jonn load these as it was, so I will try later.  But trust me there was over 1,000 people there, probably a lot more.

    OK, so I was particularly looking for any folks with signs that were offensive, and/or for anyone I thought might be an infiltrator. I saw one in the former category, the standard Obama as joker thing. Honestly, I find all that stupid but whatever. Now, I don’t know if he was a tea-partier or not, but I will say he stood out for his extreme disregard for personal hygiene. Dude smelled and looked like he slept in the sewer. Again, don’t know if he was ours or theirs, but dude was not normal, and neither side would willingly claim him.

    As for the next picture, infiltrators or not?

    Freaks for Freedom and Kooks for the Constitution? Either they were tea-partiers goofing on the MSM stereo-type of the conservatives, or they were lefties thinking they were funny. From their sort of crunchy look I would lean towards the latter. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Claymore found a post at DU that said “OMFG, I totally PWN’d the rethuglicans with a ridiculous sign.” If they were tea partiers, I guess I think their sign is dumb.

    Anyway, my dog had a good time, and chicks seem to dig him.

    The tea party patriot hat here made me nervous, but his daughter and Mosby hit it off, and it was very cery cute.

  • Need more protest pictures?

    Our buddy Zombie sent a link to the latest from the anti-war protest in San Francisco last weekend. The best and brightest turned out to exercise their right to assemble and be as ritardit as possible;

    You can see the rest at Zombie Classic or at Pajamas Media.

  • The DC protest video highlights

    Here are some of the videos I’ve found and were sent to me about the protest this last weekend.

  • Ringo meets the protesters

    There’s a special brand of crazy in LA and it takes a special guy to record the images. That’s why we welcome Ringo the Gringo into the TAH fold. He took some pictures of the protest last Saturday and these provide a nice a contrast to the supposed racial slurs in DC that were a topic of conversation this weekend. When he finishes his post, I’ll add his link.

  • ANSWER protests everything

    Code Red and Code Pink 010
    There was a lot going on in DC yesterday, so I had to park the truck (illegally) and dismount to the Blogger Urban Reconnaissance vehicle to cover all of the evnts. The first place I went was to the Vietnam Wall where I ran into a small group of Gathering of Eagles folks. I rode up to two guys standing there with flags and asked “Where are the hippies”. Turns out that one of those guys was Toothless Dog Dawg (who , by the way, is a complete phony – he has all of his teeth. I made him show me.)

    Then I shot over to Lafayette Park. It was just before noon, and I only saw a few hundred people. This is from my wide angle lensof the whole crowd;
    Code Red and Code Pink 010

    Someone on the loud speaker claimed there were thousands “on their way”, but since it was supposed to start at noon, their numbers were pretty anemic. The Washington Post reports this morning that there were “thousands” – I didn’t see it.

    Code Red and Code Pink 005

    If you’re wondering what those signs say, I blew up the photo for you;

    Code Red and Code Pink 005a

    I think these are the “Peace Grannies” preparing to regale the crowd with some of their unique octogenarian rap song stylings.

    Code Red and Code Pink 008

    If you look closely at the pictures, you’ll see that many of the people in the picture are tourists spilling over from the White House;

    The only thing I saw worth bandwidth was this hoola-hoop chic;

  • ANSWER’s March 20th Rally

    I know Gathering of Eagles and some other groups are planning counter-actions to the annual ANSWER rally on March 20th in DC. How many of our readers are planning on being there? I’ll be driving down from my mountain retreat early in morning, so if anyone wants to meet up before hand, let me know.

    Yahoo says it’ll be 64 degrees and partly cloudy, so I guess the weather will be better than our first one in 2007, won’t it?

    From what I’ve read, the Code Pink hags will be there as well as Geoff “Stolen Valor” Millard and his DC IVAW crowd. ANd we can always count on the “Bert and Ernie” of the VFP crowd, Bill Perry and Ward Reilly as well as ANSWER’s new March Forward veterans group with our buddy Mike Prysner.

    A good time will be had by all.

  • Random Photo relating to the increased college cost.

    Also I could not help but notice that the signs say SocialistWorker on the bottom.

    I get that grammar errors happen but if your going to protest about increased tuition for college education, perhaps you should double check it first before becoming your own worst argument. I mean you are on FailBlog, the mother of the Epic Fail. Sucks to be you.

  • Zombie at pro-abortion rally in SF

    We all know Zombie from his/her photo-essays on the anti-war protests in San Francisco. This last weekend, Zombie went to a pro-abortion rally, and discovered that pro-life counter-protesters outnumbered the pro-murder crowd by 500-1.

    There’s another great Zombie photo-essay at the link – lots of classy pro-abortion protesters like this one.

    By the way, Zombie, congrats on the PJM gig.
