Best protest signs ever

I didn't see any union thugs beating him up though. 

I though new hampshire is a blue state

in other news...funny how the guy is sorta at the back of the crowd where no one can see him

why yes, i am sure the man in his prime had to run fast from the two fat old women, the 12 year old girl, or the really old, feeble and gray man as they ganged up and beat him up because they are evil conservatives. [/sarcasm]

They are probably loaded.

I am not impressed.

Claiming that one's political opponents are stupid and ignorant is not exactly brilliant and provocative acts like that are really only brave when the opponent is morally inferior.

Yay New Hampshire!

We have been for a little while. In most electoins we're red. It's sad

EDIT:

Here's the 2000 election map

LOL that guy is funny.. and BRAVE! haha

The expression on his face is awesome.

lol I also though that hamsphire was one of those swing states also

Isn't that lady with the yellow sign guilty of Protesting While Distracted?

PS - Photoshop is cool.  (I think it's real)

If only slavery were still around so we could benefit from the non-sadness of a blue New Hampshire.

wat a champion.

Isn't anyone concerned about the guy with the sign that reads, "Abolish Federal Government"?

Also, he's wearing a Confederate battle-flag shirt...and he's in a Northern state...and he's not getting beaten up...

How did THAT happen?

It's obvious that most of the people there are so clueless they probably don't know what his shirt is, or why they should be annoyed.

or... you know, they are just not violent?

Anyways, I find the sign dumb and the guy to be an asshole.

Although some of the people opposing obama care are freaks and lunatics (like that confederate guy). But what is wrong with the woman with the sign who says "no to healthcare reform" or the girl with the sign asking them to read the bill?

I would respect him more if he tried that stuff against union thugs counter-protesting or at a New Black Panther rally.

Also, in response to all of the confused posters here: New Hampshire is somewhat of a "Don't Tread On Me" state. Its citizens generally distrust government, especially if it interferes with individual liberty. The reason for its shift from a "Red" state to a "Blue" state over the past decade is primarily due to wealthy, self-important Bostonites encroaching into its borders.

You mean to tell me NH is still thought of as a red state?  Other then some radicals this state is suprising liberal for what its consider.  At one time (and maybe in some areas) it was a lot more towards the red.  In the last 10 years or so its really gone blue like the rest of new england.  (ie same sex marrage passed a few months back).  10  years ago that never would have passed. 

We may not be as liberal as MA but saying we are not just false.  The people that are the don't tread on me type are still around and always will be, those in the middle are still in the middle.  But the number of people from other states has increased and they brought their ideas with them.

He *is* funny, but more because the protest is fragmented and they have a bunch of generic right-wing rhetoric than anything, it would be just as funny on the other side of the street if the left wing had four disconnected left wing signs that had no particular connection to the issue.

As someone that *has* read a good portion of HR 3200 - it's a pretty good bill, hope the GOP doesn't manage to kill this.

Even when bill is littered with the phrase 'or other such requirements as the Secretary may determine' (or similar) all over the place?  Congress completely shirks its responsibility by setting up a monstrous bureaucracy & says, "You guys write the rules.'  Which means we don't really know what the rubber-meets-the-road consequences of these bills will be.  We're supposed to believe that the hundreds of new Secretaries & department heads will act in our best interests - I'm not as sanguine about that as some of you appear to be.

Furthermore, it ain't the GOP that'll 'kill it' - the GOP can't stop it - it'll be the risk that those who vote for it will be thrown out of office that will 'kill it.'

Interrupting his fantasy with facts, that's just wrong!

I'm sorry, but she looks likes she's 10 years old. What are the odds she actually knows what she's talking about? I'd guess she's just there because her parents are.

Regardless, awesome picture

Likely to better understand it than the clueless Congressmen & Senators.

That may be true, but I still wouldn't trust a 10 year old to make policy decisions.... actually, on second thought, she'd probably give everyone in the country free cookies, so it might not be too bad

Right - we'll have *Congress* write out the actual regulations, because we have in fact 538 insurance spoecialists here . . . no, wait, instead of having the worlds most powerful committee micromanage the entire thing, lets instead have them set up a framework, and then have the 'executive' branch (So named because it actually 'executes' the laws) set up some form of regulatory implementation of that framework.

You know, like we do for every *other* department of the government. We even have this third branch of government called the 'judicial' branch that can, if people feel the law is being 'executed' incorrectly, look at the original laws and see if they believe the executive is interpreting it in a reasonable manner. 'adjudicate' if you will.

Yeah - I'm thinking that would be a better method. I know it's not popular among a certain set of people, and has had some genuine failures, but it *is* the same method we used from the period where we were a third rate power that could  have our capital burned to the ground in a backwater action of the Napoleonic wars, all the way through to our arising as the most powerful economic and miltary superpower the world has ever known. It has a fairly good track record.

edit: With apologies - but that kind of phrasing is not at all unusual - look at any of the laws that set-up departments in the executive, from the old 'department of war' to the IRS to the State Department. They *all* give leeway for the actual regulatory setup to be determined by the people doing the actual work.
