A Thousand Words

On September 24, there was an “anti-war” rally in the beautiful city by the bay, home to both the Hired Hand and an unusually large number of wackos. Some of said wackos are simply sufferers from BDS (“Bush Derangement Syndrome,” an array of symptoms, central to which is the unshakable delusion that the 43rd president is responsible for all bad things that transpire, from hurricanes to bunions). At any such demonstration will be the usual mixture of hard leftists (who, far from being anti-war, are all for war against the West), assorted anti-Semites, fellow travelers and useful idiots.

The coverage of this demonstration by the San Francisco Chronicle produced, among much else, the following picture:

At the same demonstration, however, were other photographers, who produced other photographs. Some such photographs included the very same person, but from a somewhat different, and certainly wider, angle:

This second photograph seems to show that (whatever one thought one was observing in the first) this person is part of an orchestrated performance, whose accouterments of protest have been mass produced, all apparently at the behest of Communist organizers.
