[kj] OT: Tender, moving YouTube video

[The Exorcist]

Sade, Your outrage is duly noted.

I wonder where your outrage and level of "offense" were about the following.
(And this is all just a tiny smattering from one individual on the west coast)
I don't recall Huff-Po being offended at any of these kind of 
rallies. I guess the
"I'm offended" neurons must have been misfiring at the time.

Re: Gary Coleman...

When you're done looking through the photos (a quick glimpse will 
suffice) look at the common theme
between standard placards from the links I placed and the pic of one 
idiot with a Hitler sign that. Hell, don't
forget to include Code Pink who decided to show up at one of the 
rallies as well.

So, single or minor idiot offender(s) vs. de facto large gathering of 
offenders.
