But, of course. There was an article in Rolling Stone a month or so back about this one guy who goes around protesting abortion clinics in California, he's a real piece of work. Protests right in front of doctors' houses and everything. The article sticks out in my mind because I found it incredibly offensive and distasteful on the part of Rolling Stone because they showed one of his flyers with a picture of an actual aborted fetus. I couldn't believe it.

Back home the abortion protesters always had pictures of aborted fetuses on their signs and such...it was scary -there was a good mix of men and women though....

There were also a couple of hard-core nuns who'd wear sandwich signs and stuff one of them was arrested once for being involved in an abortion clinic bombing - way to be good Christians ladies...

Not that I have seen every flyer out there, but pretty much ALL of the ones I have seen (which is not that many) misrepresent a three month or less fetus - rather, they show a fetus at eight months. That says to me they are scared taht if they show what the fetus looks like during the frist trimester, people will look at them and say - this is not a child yet. COWARDS!

Did RS mention that most of them are paid?
Also, we have one of those moving billboard typre trucks here that drives around town with this stuff on it.

With all due respect, paying protestors is not necessarily limited to political party

AND - for many of these people, the R party is FAR too liberal for them. which in and of itself is terrifying

For the sake of Tower

I am not detracting from the sliminess of the R party, they seemingly are far worse in every aspect than the just sleazy D's.

It's gotten much better as a magazine in the past few months, actually. It used to be utter ****, but they've been surprising me with some of their articles and the discs they choose to review.

I know - but your comment implied the R's were the only one doing it and that, as you know, is a pet peeve

I only hear about Repubs being in bed with money in heinous ways about 20-30 times more often, sorry about the, uh, mistatement.

Where should we start - perhaps the Clinton give me money and here is your pardon, Clinton's essential sale of the poor's benefits in the "Contract with America," the D's support in the budgets W has passed, and so on and so on. Plus, the D's over the years certainly have bought votes and planted hecklers

So, I say although I cannot stand the R moreso, I think the D party is the lesser of two evils.

The very budgets they bitch about 24/7? Surely you jest!

Yes, I thought we all were already coming from the point of view that the Dems were merely the lesser of two evils.

But if you'd like to present evidence to counter my tongue in cheek comment, more power to you!

if one of those eejits ever drove by MY house I think I'd have my arsenal of EGGS, ROTTEN TOMATOES, and MUD (with a rock inside!) at the ready! OR a hose set to high power stream pointed RIGHT at the driver....or there's always the offerings of the catbox to hoist at them
