Hey, where's Pamela?

Out of curiousity, who made up the ranks of the counter protestors? Were they pro-islamization groups or pro-democracy groups who disagree with the fascists?

Is that Pat Buchanan over there?

Thank goodness. Sanity may not be dead yet.

I hope the parasitical attachment of racist groups to legitimate causes flames out very quickly. The danger is that some very evil people will get away with murder because other nutty and somewhat evil people are publicly identified as their enemies.

Of course I meant they should still be taken on. 140 is just for the protestors so I'm sure there are many more in the shadows. Given that they were expecting counter-protestors I'm sure a lot didn't take to the streets.

I just looked at all the pics (30 of them) here (hope link works).

Who showed up? It looked like people for not being idiotic racists (including families, children, etc.), cops, cops, more cops, skinheads looking for trouble, anti-skinheads, cops, and Turkish immigrants being pro Turish immigrant, obviously. The anti-racists looked serious, the Turks looked like they were having a good time taunting the racists, and the skinheads - mostly they were being wrestled away by cops. The cops looked incredibly over-prepared, which is better than the opposite!

I couldn't figure out if anyone in the pics represented the racists, or whatever they call themselves, except the skinheads, of course.

As far as I could tell, the only ones causing trouble were a couple of skinheads.

re: #107 Gus 802

The frame.

Ah yes, I see. At the bottom of the photographer's canopy.

Actually now that you mention it, this is more than just bad photography. I mentioned before that the photo that the White House released probably wasn't the one that was meant to be used, because it was shot from above and from due east of the statue, so that the background of the photo was just the barren industrial facilities of Jersey City.

I suspect that the photo that was intended for actual use was to be shot from below and from the south or southwest of the statue, so that the Manhattan skyline would be in the background. And I hypothesized that the White House wouldn't release that photo, because the skyscrapers in the background would just remind everyone of all of the screaming, terrified people running out of them.

The canopy rail supports that. I'm SURE that the DOD didn't spend $360,000 on a photo shoot just to have some fighter pilot snap the photos with his pocket camera. It looks like the White House frantically went calling the fighter pilots to see if they had any snapshots taken from the reverse angle.

RNC Chair on Obama's Goal to Find Judge with 'Empathy'

/not even sure what that means, but it doesn't sound very classy

Obama in one debate said he wanted judges with empathy for the little guy.

Rule of Law, WTF is that?

Oprah for SCOTUS!

How do get them plussed?

Let me see. Hmmm...

Brushing is the best way. They grok brushing.

re: #165 Iron Fist

The last time there was a Klan rally that was public (I think they had a more private party after the election. It didn't make the news, but was, sadly, appparently well attended) it went kind of like that around here. More people showed up to protest the Klan than showed up to support the Klan.

That is as it should be.

Absolutely.
Good day Fist.

Try it but don't get too carried away. ;) I think I read that using orange peels works for keeping cats off certain areas or surfaces. Might be lemon peels too.

re: #170 DEZes

Grok?

Ok - maybe I stretched the meaning a wee bit. Jut a weee bit.

Grok means to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed—to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience. It means almost everything that we mean by religion, philosophy, and science—and it means as little to us (because of our Earthly assumptions) as color means to a blind man.

re: #170 DEZes

Grok?

From Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. To fully comprehend or understand; to become one with someone or something.

Interesting novel. I haven't read it in decades; maybe it's time for a revisit.

The Obama Obsession seems to be alive in certain circles. I was just reading the comments over at the White House photo stream on Flickr. It's like these people are part of a cult talking about his smile, and comments like "historic photo" and some are even complementing Biden. Blind faith.

Grin? I know some of them hate it but still remain curious.

She's lived with us since she was a kitten, and is fairly tolerant of being an experimental subject.

The Spanish Olive thing that came up here a few weeks ago was a total bust, though. She just ignored them. I think she's taken those "Just Say No!" commercials to heart.

Spanish olives?

Mwahahaha! all the haters showed up...all 80 of them. Spit!

re: #180 Gus 802

Spanish olives?

Quite a few people here claimed that Spanish Olives get cats buzzed, more so than catnip. Confirmed with a search engine, bought a jar on the way home, and...nuthin'.

Results may vary with cat.

She's a Maine Coon, extremely curious and attached to humans, plus she wants to smell at everything. Alas extreme smells like those of citrus fruit peels and curiously banana peels have her shut her eyes in a sqeezed manner that her upper 'lips' lift up and give the impression of a clowns grin.
Very funny looking.

I see. I remember having a few cats that just like to eat them and almost play with them. There was a video out a couple of weeks ago with some cat reacting to eating an olive like she just ate some catnip. Perhaps it was just rubbed with cat nip.

Ah like a pungent grin. That reminds me about how they open their mouths when they smell something stinky.

I would bet good money the usual suspects and asshole enablers are just hoping we forget all this so they can get back to their 15 Minute Hate.

That's awesome. Kudos to the men and women of Köln, for staying away from this one. Jeers to the 80 wankers who showed up but, out of a city of about a million, that's, what, .008%?

This was in Dormagen (not Dormhagen), and not in Köln. And Dormagen has around 65.000 inhabitants.
