Monday Photos and Events

If you example this photo, I think you'll agree that there is a difference between liberals and the radical left, no matter what Anne Coulter says.

This march took place in downtown Boston, far from the Fleet Center, and through the commercial hub of downtown crossing. To prevent possible property damage, marchers were followed by bicycle cops and these

On a lighter note, the blogger breakfast was graced by rising political star Barack Obama, below, who was witty, and knows how to keep a speech short. I broke away from the breakfast and shared a cab with two other bloggers, who turned out to be Kos and Atrios. to get over the the New Democrat Network talk. I also joined them at lunch with Sam Seder of Air America.

Thanks for the great photos! I especially enjoy the one that equates our politicians with fascists such as Hitler. Might be a slight exaggeration, but I can see how he might be upset, can't you? ;)
Keep up the good work!

Geez. The radical left has no crediblity with me. The sign at top reminds me when I was going to gradaute school in Boston last year. I was going home on the subway when I noticed someone reading a newspaper next to me. A Communist newspaper dedicated to the overthrow of the "capitalist pig" government. I thought: "Okay, it's America, people are allowed to have views I find repugnant."

That is one cute anarchist.

Anarchism doesn't even really fall on the traditional spectrum. The extreme left houses collective communism, while on the extreme right is fascism. Either way there is government of some sort.

Plus, I don't think that cheap shot of Ann Coulter was called for. You obviously either haven't read her books or have taken some of her superfluous comments a little too seriously.

Do realize that people feel very strongly about this issue. This image is also very interesting because it just goes to show you how an idea so small can influence someone and make such an impact. If you believe that it hasn't made an impact...Then why was it posted on this Blog? Some people really believe that Bush is the next Hitler...And who knows? Most likely the reason why this person posted this sign, isn't because he came up with the notion but because he viewed this. http://www.takebackthemedia.com/bushnonazi.html

Posted here as a sterling example of moronic logic, RP.

Are you crazy? Comparing Bush and Kerry to Hitler? No, I can't see why he might be that upset. Read some history about the Nazis and then tell me there is an equivalence.

I recognize that you get lunatics and no-nothings going to rallys like this. I can't understand any rational person even entertainings such a ridiculous notion.
