Protesters and more

All week there were roving protesters who would come down the street with handkercheifs over their mouths, banging on drums. It was not clear what their message was except that their signs were vaguely anti-nuclear. There were also abortion protesters all over downtown (no doubt about what their message was), and the occassional trio or foursome of uncomfortable looking McCain supporters hoisting McCain lawn signs in the air and halfheartedly chanting something. (I don't mean to stereotype, but with the exception of the anti-abortion protesters, it does seem pretty clear that the left is WAY better at the protest thing than the right. We are pretty much forced to protest our own, just to make sure it gets done right...)

In that vein, here were a couple of the more entertaining sights of the week: PETA protesters in pig suits, among other activity:

Protest demanding a stop to "Bird Porn"





And the flier they were handing out:




Finally, some supporters right outside of the Pepsi Center, "Rednecks for Obama"
