Barbara Boxer Protest at Barnes and Noble, San Jose

Our local left conspiracy guy did have a few nice pictures, though with snarkly little comments. Most of the snark is about "important" thinks like making note of peoples' weight and such.

Here's some of the pictures that I though were worth your notice :

[caption id="attachment_611" align="aligncenter" width="470" caption="One of the cool things about this protest : there were a few handfuls of scattered opposition of various stripes... but none of them were shoved around or harassed. Heck, the only thing close to that I witnessed even close to that was a guy in an Obama shirt that just would leave a couple of anti-Boxer protesters in peace (not the other 'way). That was just words, though."][/caption]

[caption id="attachment_615" align="aligncenter" width="470" caption="Yup. Here's the "angry mob" the Democrats warned you about in that ad of theirs. Oh, and Nazis, just like Nancy Pelosi told you! COming up next : Obama will tell you about the Evil Monkey that lives in your closet!"][/caption]

Low-Level Kerry and Boxer Aides "rebut" Palin!

So the Washington Post has published an OpEd piece, signed by John Kerry and Senator Ma'am. It is meant to be a refutation of Sarah Palin's OpEd on "Cap-and-Tax".

It starts out with the assertion that they hope "for a substantive dialogue" and that they "want to put facts ahead of fiction and real debate ahead of rhetorical bomb-throwing." The problem, though, is that they piece is pretty much void of substantive anything, and is just bomb-throwing.

Heck, in the paragraph that immediately follows, they pretend that Palin opposes "clean energy legislation" as if that was identical to the "cap-and-trade" bill. Do they even understand their own bill?

Other than making a couple of undefended assertions, that the bill (somehow) will Save Us All and that the bill will (somehow) create Millions of Jobs(!), there is nothing that comes close to addressing the bill or why it should be supported. The rest of the article can be summarized as this : "If you are against our bill, you are just like people who opposed clean water". That's it read it yourself and count the number of times this trope repeats, with "acid rain", "superfund", etc.

If they wanted to take a stab at substance they could have given some examples of the assertion that "Each time, our environmental laws have cleaned the water we drink, the air we breathe and the communities we live in at far lower cost than initially expected". It isn't relevant to cap-and-trade, but it would be interesting if true.

How much time did Sentor Ma'am spend in Evil Senator School?
