Buncha jagoffs.

They had a number of people commenting on the mass protest...er, I mean the Inauguration, including Tavis "Shackles & Chains" Smiley, who had some lame comment about how the media rarely gives protestors their due, or something like that. Good Gawd.

I should clarify things: by "they" I mean ABC news.

Sean,

Who the hell is this Smiley wanker? What, does being bitter, hyperbolic, and black somehow qualify you to comment on politics? Cuz if that's the case, some crackheads I pass on the way to work can get a good gig with ABC.

I hate protestors. I don't care what they're protesting; if I see someone marching with a picket sign, I get the urge to smack them with it.

I can't quite tell if it's the illegible handwriting, the nonsensical slogans, or the fact that people actually take the time and energy to do it that bugs me.

Did someone order tea?

protesters

The picture of the ridiculous drama queen in the pink hat and coat really needs a sound file to go with it. I'm thinking a really annoying baby's cry.

She makes me embarassed to be a white girl. I mean, look at her, wailing away as though she's *oppressed* in this country. It's so ridiculous.

We have some pics and video from today too:

Some of these protestors make me ashamed to be an American.

Yeah, I hate freedom of expression.

What a collosal waste of time! Sure, they have every right to waste their time but do they really think that even one person changed their mind on the topic because they saw or heard these folks? Oh, and that applies to ALL protesters, not just this crowd.

linky no worky

You're a fine bunch of Americans with your disdain for protest. Or... aren't you protesting Sponge Bob right now? Way to go. Ha

whups, sorry its back

I believe that protests do indeed raise public awareness and can help inform our opinions regarding many issues.
As a conservative, I stand on the side of the leftist protestors...I think they should protest more, in greater numbers, and louder, with bigger signs.

(giggle)

I'm sure the SpongeBob protest will go well. Giggle.

Don't know anything about this spongebob thing you're talking about- can I assume it has something to do with the religious folks? Sounds like their type of thing.

Yes, your assumption is correct.

Holy Crap Julie. Is that a real quote? I don't remember it but it sounds like me...the annoying all-caps yell...weird...is there an echo in here?

Two words:

Tinfoil Hats

What the hell is that Squid Officer doing with them?
Why aren't you stomping their guts out!!!

Not so much freedom of expression as freedom of stupidity.
