Okay. I have sorted through my photos from the protests outside the Fairmont today as Alaska governor and Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin was inside for a fundraiser, and I am posting some of my favorites here.
But first, here’s my take on the protests both for and against Gov. Palin:
I’d say that the crowds on both side of the Palin polarity line were about the same size, but I think the anti-Palin folks may have been a tad bit louder. There is no doubt, though, that the most creative signs and slogans were on the anti-Palin side.
Check ’em out, after the jump.
Bullwinkle has his say.
Read the yellow sign in the middle.
I am pretty sure Palin is better looking than Cheney in drag.
The hockey mom contingent?
As the Wilson sisters said, calling Palin a barracuda is not a compliment (left), and
it looks like some folks attending the luncheon made their own signs (right).
As I said, the anti-Palin signs were more creative.
These young women caught my eye with the slogan on their shirts.
One protester says thanks but no thanks to that “bridge to nowhere” (left), and
another simply calls for equality (right).
And maybe their choice of lipstick colors?
Plano youth for Palin. Wasn’t Friday a school day?

Thanks so much Tammye! We had more than 400 people turn up, what a “shock and awe” that must have been to those Republicans!! Great time was had by all.
in looking at these pictures something odd struck me. in the anti-palin camp i don’t see a lot of flags being waved (only one if my eyes don’t deceive me this late) yet in the pro-palin camp i see a half dozen or so. i’m curious if it is a deliberate ploy to make anyone that is against them seem anti-american.
admittedly i’m sure nobody told the anti-palin group to leave their flags at home but it just kind of struck me as odd. does the flag waiving mentality equal blindly following the gop?
oh, and the caribu barbie sign was great. as was “sarah: i can see your resignation from my house”.
The pit bull poster is my favorite. Caribou Barbie is pretty awesome too.
