Protester obviously not a copy editor

[lone star scribe]

The anti-health care protesters were out in force in Raleigh, NC, on Friday as evidenced by the online photos here. At least one woman might not be sure what she's protesting. Apparently the paper cropped the photo for print editions. Click to photo No. 2 in the gallery.

Always proofread your work, people! ;D

Maybe she's in favor of shaving down below.

That's classic. And surprise of surprises, there's also a "where's the birth certificate?" sign in the background.

She doesn't like getting pubes caught in her throat like Larry David.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

And in the third one, there's a sign that says 'Senor Citizens get Free Health Care, Senior Citizens Can Drop Dead" (Note, I don't know how to do the tilde sign on top of the n).

And there's a picture of an old lady with a mustache on the poster.

Very classy, protestors.

Maybe there really was a fella named Senor Jesus Citizens ;D

Photo number four looks like an eharmony ad.

eHarmony matches you on 29 vital characteristics, including sign-making prowess, strawman construction, thinly veiled racism and foot-stamping ability.

Epic.

These aren't exactly the brightest crayons in the box, are they?

3 points.

I like the one with the guy holding the sign that says "Ignorant People Vote!"

Does anyone think it's funny that a there seemed to be quite a few people in the crowd who already have a public health care option – Medicare?

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 *****, ain't it?

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

 

[UPChip]

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.

 

[HejiraHenry]

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.

I see more than one who scare me.
