    I like the girl in the tight silver lame pants in photo 14.

    The "parents" who stuck moronic signs in the hands of their litttle kids should be arrested for child abuse.... since stupidity isn't a crime.

    Not exactly a shining beacon of light on the citizens of North Carolina ...

    I remember when the freaky fringe types on my side of the aisle had no choice but to make shrill, irritating protests to get heard because the GOP owned Congress and the White House.

    Payback's a bitch, ain't it?

    Is it me or is anyone else afraid of the woman in photo 1?

    The guy in photo 5 was probably just handed that sign because he got lost on the way to the "GET OFF MY LAWN!" protest held at Sen. Hagen's kids' treehouse.

    Both you (no surprise) and the newspaper (even less of a surprise) make a most basic error of presentation.

    Health care opponent? Really?

    I mean, there are a few people on the absolute fringes of society who, for their own reasons, object to health care. These ain't them.

    Sometimes, shorthand fails. They are opponents of a particular healthcare reform plan. That's all.

    Can anyone tell me what "Don't Tread on Me" flags have to do with protesting government health care?

    Once again, the right tries to present all 15 of their messages at once...

    Some opponents of health care reform see a public option as taken away their choice of doctors or what types of services they can get. There are some who think the public option will be the only option in the future.

    Is it really that difficult for these morans to understans that if you have a health care plan through work or you're on Medicare (OOOOOOOOOH, government health care) you don't have to change or give up anything.

    I have great coverage through work's BC/BS: 30/visit (40/specialist) and 15/presecription, and some freebie services.
