The Foul-Mouthed Left

The Convergence Begins!

I’ll be adding photos throughout the march … check back!

I’m guessing 2000 to 3000 protesters – tops.

I should have more photos and video later … this is just live using the iPhone app.

It’s over. Now home, maybe a few more photos and a little video … check back!

UPDATE: OK, I’m done posting. I think most of the photos are sadly self-explanatory.

More coverage at This Ain’t Hell and Marooned in Marin.

Here’s the video … enjoy!

OK, one of the morons marching yesterday commented on my video, saying “I guess this is supposed to be a mocking video, but all I see are people who care deeply about this country.” Well … as far as “mocking” is concerned that would fall under “duh”. As far as “people who care deeply about this country” … well, scroll down this post and judge for yourself. Quite the echo chamber these folks live in, huh?

I’m in an experimental mood. Here’s a version you can view in High Def if you want! Hit the “HD” button on the bottom

And I end, as usual, with … THE CHE!

MORONIC CONVERGENCE!

Holy Porcelain Squatting Mohammed!

What’s wrong with these folks?! I can’t believe it, but Team Tanless at ANSWER is at it again!

When? March 21, 2009

Where? Washington DC

Time? …

Time for another round of pointlessly pounding government pavement, followed by some serious fist-shaking, and workin’ the protest babes.

Yes my adolescent and otherwise unemployable friends: the ANSWER Coalition, along with Brian Becker and Team Tanless have once again managed to impart just the right amount of zest into your suburban basement bong-smoke filled haze.

I’m sure mom won’t be busy that day … she’ll give you a lift to the Metro and a little extra change. She’s like that.

See you there!

FINAL POST: “TROOPS OUT NOW” PROTEST MARCH, SEPTEMBER 29, 2007

Just a short note with some video … here [above] are some brave souls who faced almost constant taunts, threats, and outright theft from Leftist thugs and Jew-haters to stand for what they believe. A part of their tale is told in the video below, along with the whole insane juvenile acting-out that happens when a bunch of spoiled suburban kids try to take control of the traffic pattern of a major city.

Enjoy.

“TROOPS OUT NOW” MARCH AND ACTION, WASHINGTON DC: SEPTEMBER 29, 2007

Well, at least she got the symbol right. Usually these folks just end up carrying around ads for Mercedes-Benz. Still, given the probable average income of the families these kids spring out of the confusion is to be expected, I suppose…

Q.E.D.

**** UPDATE ****

Here’s some video. More will follow.

Of course, an over-abundance of left-wing-academic indoctrination isn’t the only thing that sets these folks apart. There’s the other, paranoid simpleton village-idiot side of the coin. I, at least, know how to spell “News” …

This guy for instance … I couldn’t figure out if he was just some sort of village-idiot type who wandered into the protest, or is in fact … [for example] … a well-respected professor at some university earning tenure. The line can be pretty fine sometimes.

Check the shoes. With ever step he desecrates the flag. Nice, huh?

Then again, there are legions of those who simply want yet another excuse to display their foul-mouthed narcissism. And they’re damn proud of it!

There were puppets, too. Sorta lame. Check the “Visit Cuba” t-shirt, though.

There were the subtle ironies, also …

… some of which simply escape the protest community.

There were meditation circles …

… and suburban-guilt ridden Mumia partisans.

Many of the costumes I see on these marches repeat from one protest to the next so I won’t bore either you or myself with that repetition. These, though, were new. At least to me.

“Oil” and “Imperialism” were big themes at this protest. Just how many of these folks wonder how devastating it would be to both our economy as well as their own personal lives if “oil” ever got either cut off or made prohibitively expensive? Just how do they think all that organic food gets to their local Safeway anyway?

Ron Paul supporters have gotten pretty common at these events. The funny thing is … no one is quite sure how to react to them.

There was a lot of dancing at this one. I will, as usual, make a video documenting the “musical” aspects of this march. Please check back.

You’d be surprised at how many very young children you see at these things. Or perhaps you wouldn’t be. I always am.

And what, I ask you, would a protest march be without … the CHE!

Cripes … I knew a kid in middle school that looked just like this. I hated that kid. I think he’s pumping gas now somewhere in Mississippi. Or he’s a lawyer.

Fidel himself made an unexpected cameo appearance.

Something fairly new … the Chavez supporter.

We also had our fair share of unrepentant communists.

This was a whole family. You see a lot of that at these marches. It’s part of the whole “red baby” syndrome. Sorta like any other religion, Communism gets handed down from one unquestioning generation to the next. These people are probably indistinguishable from your neighbors in every other respect, and hold down nice jobs. As with any religion, consistency of belief doesn’t matter here … at least not on a day to day basis. For these folks attending protests is probably akin to taking communion.

These folks [above] were actually selling a very cool looking t-shirt with this logo on front. Kinda expensive for a protest-march shirt [$20] but I almost got one … except that just as I was about to the cops shut them down. I’m not sure why.

Video to follow. Otherwise … until next time!

AN AMERICAN FLAG BURNS ON CONSTITUTION AVENUE, WASHINGTON DC, SEPTEMBER 29, 2007

AN AMERICAN FLAG BURNS ON CONSTITUTION AVENUE, WASHINGTON DC, SEPTEMBER 29, 2007

About half-way through the planned march, a group of anarchists broke away from the main march and blockaded Constitution Avenue near the intersection of Constitution and Third St. I’ll have further video on the action later.

As a part of their “action”, though, they burned an American Flag.

Here’s the video of the burning:

Breasts Not Bombs (?)

I’M BACK! WOW AM I BACK!

I’ve got [as you can well see] Breasts not Bombs, flag burning anarchists, more music, and much much more!

I’ve got about 2 hours of video to process, along with several hundred photos I need to sort. I plan … for now that is … to do at least three videos on 1) Breasts, 2) Flags, and 3) Music. Breasts comes first.

Check back!

**** UPDATE ****

Here’s a YouTube Video … it’s mercifully short.

It’s live … even if a splash image doesn’t appear yet.

I’ve got the Flag Burning video up …

**** UPDATE October 15, 2007 ****

Well, YouTube has taken down the Breasts Not Bombs video. Here’s the same video, just not YouTube:

**** UPDATE ****

OK, OK … I know you all have been clamoring for more … here ya go …

GREAT MOON-WALKING MOHAMMAD!

Didn’t these guys JUST HAVE one of these things?!?

Bryan over at Hot Air just emailed me: “Communists, Iranian stooges and assorted Mumia hangers on. What else do they have to do on a Saturday?”

You said it brother.

And I’ll … *groan* … be there too.

FINAL 9/15 POST: AN ANECDOTAL COUNT … No way was it 100,000

OK, I know that this is purely anecdotal, but I’ve heard the “100,000 attendees” count for the September 15th protest more than once [by ANSWER and their toadies] so I thought I’d put it to the test, along with my own count of 30,000 to 35,000 [tops].

After the march began and I had followed it for a while, I wended my way back to the beginning of the march seeking “musical” themes for inclusion in my blog and video. As you will note below [see previous posts ... especially the video] any fair observer will admit that I had an incentive to do so. If there was “musical” material to be had I would have it. I wanted it. Believe me … I walked to the end of the march.

I found the end of the march … at the moment I reached it … to be at or very near the intersection of what was once PA Avenue near the White House and 15th St, which runs just to the east of the Treasury Building.

You can see the intersection in the above image … taken from Google Earth … and the theoretical end point of the march indicated by the red dot. [Click on the image itself for a higher resolution image.]

As I had reached the beginning of the march and knowing for certain that no more material was to be had, I decided that I would race to the beginning of the march … as I wanted to be among the first to “run the gauntlet” between the ANSWER crowd and the GOE crowd. I thought it would be good material as my video [below] attests.

It took me … and I timed it … approximately 10 minutes to get from the first intersection noted above to the intersection of 13th and Pennsylvania, which is noted in the image as the final red dot marking the end point. According to Google Earth, there are 2157 feet in that path.

That measure can be, therefore, taken as an approximation of the length of at least the main body of the march … slightly longer, in fact, as during the time it took me to quickly traverse the length, the first end point itself moved slowly forward while I raced ahead, while the final end point itself crawled forward. The march also halted briefly at some points. However, in the interest of fairness I’ll ignore that. The difference would be minor anyway.

Now to the approximation of area.

Along 15th St. the march took up all the lanes, or approximately a width of 60 feet [see the image above] … once it met PA Avenue moving east, it took up all lanes once again, or approximately, also, 60 feet in width.

Therefore, for about half the march [from the beginning to the intersection of 15th St. and PA Avenue] the total area was nearly 66,000 sq.ft. and for the next half [from the intersection of 15th St. and PA Avenue to the intersection of 13th St. and PA Avenue] approximately another 66,000 sq.ft. for an [admittedly approximate] area of 132,000 sq.ft. Actually slightly less as there is an overlap at the turning point … but as there was also a certain amount of bunching there too it probably evens out in the end.

So for ANSWER to be correct, the marchers in that area would have to have been packed in at somewhat more than one [1] person per 1.3 square feet.

Try it. You won’t like it.

Most people won’t tolerate less than 4 sq.ft. of personal space, which puts an average density of around 33,000 people into the area described above. To be fair, some people may have attended the initial protest at Lafayette Park and didn’t continue on with the march to the Capitol, while some may have joined the march somewhere along Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the Capitol. Which would put the total for the march between 30,000 and [tops] 35,000.

And that’s MAX. The average density of marchers was actually way below that and there were huge gaps.

You be the judge.
