I was in downtown Raleigh today and noticed some cross-bearing folks in front of the post office on Fayetteville Street. Turns out it was some kind of omnibus left-wing protest, at least if you go by the signs, t-shirts and cross inscriptions.
Here are the gathered lefties, including a friar, judging from his clothes. Which reminds me of an old joke done by The Limeliters on one of their live-performance albums.
Seems this cannibal went to the witch doctor with an upset stomach. He asked what the cannibal had eaten recently and he said, “Just a white missionary that I cooked in a large pot of water.”
“That wouldn’t do it,” said the witch doctor. “Tell me more.”
“Well, he was a tall man in a long brown robe,” said the cannibal.
“Why, that’s it, you fool. You boiled him and he was a friar.” Ba-dum-bum.
Anyway, back to the protest.
Lots of t-shirts with “justice” on them. Lot’s of FLOC shirts, too.
Those backing the the Palestinian cause and those against the evil School of the Americas at Fort Benning were also represented. As I said, pretty much your run-of-the-mill, catch-all lefty protest. I figure if each cause held its own protest there would be about 10 folks at each. But lump them together and you get a critical mass, not to mention a crowd that smelled like incense.
