Posted by Eli Sanders on Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 4:12 PM

We sent Stranger intern Logan Gowdey down to the Westin earlier today to see what people were yelling at President Obama about. Answer: EVERYTHING.

I love the vacant eyed hot mess in the red shirt.

The cops should stake out the protesters homes and workplaces and arrest them for hiring illegal workers.

Cause that would be fun ...

thanks for the rage.

@1 agreed.

That's Linden LaRouche eyes.

At worst I'm still grateful that we weren't stuck with senile and the ditz in the white house.

We're not the fucking Judean People's Front! We're the People's Front of Judea!

Save NASA so we can send that fucker into outerspace.

Posted by keshmeshi on August 17, 2010 at 5:06 PM

@10: God I hope not.

As for NASA, that's precisely where we should be spending money. The technologies we've developed for space travel have always paid for themselves, and god knows even if they didn't, we could use some public investment in jobs right now.

Now then, I have to go take a shower, since I just agreed with a LaRouchetard about something. >

@9, it's a safe bet I would, no matter how stupid an idea it would be. I am a bee to whackos' sticky nuts n' honey.

For example, did you see 7th District faux candidate Scott Sizemore's latest attempt to get some consideration as cuter than Joe Fitzgibbon in the thread on endorsements this week? His comment linked to a picture of himself shirtless. In drawstring pants. Holding SWORDS. That is what I am talking about.

Posted by gloomy gus on August 17, 2010 at 5:16 PM

Everybody already said everything I could think of about Red Shirt Boy. @9, you're probably right, but when that cherry goes, there'll be no holding him back.

Also, Warmonger 2.0 man is kind of hot.

Were these signs all symptoms of heat stroke?

Posted by JesseJB on August 17, 2010 at 5:20 PM

And we thought Pakistan was full of crazies!

Posted by Vince on August 17, 2010 at 5:25 PM

I would happily grudge-fuck Red Shirt Boy, and then burn his sign, just to see the resulting implosion.

Save NASA from the realistic budget projections Bush never owned up to, lol. "Go back to the Moon, then Mars! Here's $5." -Dubya

Posted by OuterCow on August 17, 2010 at 5:46 PM

I would love to have a mini-launch site for NASA rockets here in WA.

Posted by Simone on August 17, 2010 at 5:48 PM

@21 I agree.

How about Mercer Island?

newsflash to red shirt: you can't impeach a president because he makes funding decisions you don't agree with. if you could, Bush would've been out by the end of his first week. As would EVERY president.

the only person in these photos who seems like he MIGHT agree with me about anything and be possibly reasoned about it is the guy with the "voting holiday" sign, because that really would spread democracy and give people more time/reminders/incentive to vote. but from the rest of his cavalcade of signs, I just don't know.

Posted by 84erica42 on August 17, 2010 at 7:07 PM

Remember during the Bush administration when they would set up "free speech zones" a mile away from wherever the President or Vice President was? Those were good times.

I still love the sign at the first Seattle tea bagger rally. "I shaved my balls for this?"

Posted by Spicy McHaggis on August 17, 2010 at 7:28 PM

Ironic seeing the NASA guy after watching a documentary on how Fermilab (along with other research science projects) made huge layoffs because Bush cut the funding in 2005 or so.

Posted by Cory on August 17, 2010 at 7:30 PM

I am happy to see that people in Seattle bothered to check the spelling of words before committing them to inked signs. Forethought and consideration augment the sincerity of their messages.

Posted by Keister Button on August 17, 2010 at 7:36 PM

Of all the commands on these signs - "Save NASA," "Boycott Arizona," etc - my favorite is "Pork Patty." Because who wouldn't?
