Signs of the Times?
My rusty old brain is 98.27% sure I posted these pics before…. did I? 😕
I took them when I arrived for the We Are One concert in DC, two days before President Obama’s 2009 inauguration (Pete Souza need have no fears, his job is safe) - I’m sure lots of you saw the same, or similar, when you went to election rallies.
The funniest thing was the reaction of the crowd to the nutters, who were charmingly abusive, not least that of my sports nut pal who was especially upset by ‘sports nuts’ featuring on the banner between ‘porno freaks’ and ‘drunks’.
Was she as offended by, say, the ‘baby killing women’ and ‘Homos’ references? “‘Yeah! Of course! But WTF?! Sports nuts?!” (As a sports nut, I felt her pain).
Any way, it kinda struck me today, especially after seeing the photo in the post below, that back in January 2009 we could dismiss these people as freaks …. now, you know, it’s beginning to feel like this level of insanity and hate is the ‘conservative’ mainstream.
All that was missing from the banners was a racist slur or two, and a call for the Voting Rights Act to be shredded.
But, yep, ‘mainstream’ insanity and hate, 2013 style.
