Welcome to "O Caption! My Caption!" Blogcritics' examination of news, sports, and politics utilizing the most efficient and timesaving method: looking at pretty pictures and deducing what happened based on the pixels.
Ah yes, the coveted underboob shot.

Well sure, there was that awful guy I dated and the money pit I bought, but what does any of that have to do with anything?

Say hello to my fanny pack... Ladies!

...to another U.S. citizen of a different political bent who
could rightly hold the same sign in opposition to me.

The big fucking deal is that we’re all adults who use asterisks
to make it look like we’re not swearing when really we are.

...her sign says as a not-dead news media photographer took a picture of her sign and it showed up on the not-dead news media site, Baltimore Sun.

Isn’t Sarah speaking to you, sir?
The site hosting this image offered the option of “Enlarge Photo.” I declined.

The people who had to clean up this place after these guys left probably weren’t that impressed with their use of “Clean Sweep.”

Very clever, Diana. Oh my on the women with the Wonder Women outfit.
I am sure the majority of people in the Tea Parties are NOT hatemongers like the left makes them out to be. And how soon we forget the Hateful attacks against Bush at Protests (Kill Bush), and elsewhere.
I wish BOTH sides would use more civility when protesting.

I'm not biased. I'll make fun of any picture with a caption that jumps out at me and was released within the last seven days.

Keep 'em coming Diana. Doesn't matter whether they're right-wing or left-wing nuts, the pictures tell it all.

It would be fun to see a similar photo-article just focused on the signs. There are so many, and they tell a [sometimes funny, often quite alarming] story.
5 - Victor Lana
Diana, these are damn funny, except for that Wonder Woman who is very frightening.
Thanks.
6 - Baritone
Nice job Diana. Fun stuff.
Not "enlarging" was probably the wiser choice.

Baritone, I had to pass. I try to leave any enlargement to the subject lines of email spam.

Thanks to everyone for your encouragement. It's only going to spawn more. You've been appreciated, and warned. ;)

Whoa. All I can say is that Wonder Woman has more balls than I do.
:-P

Oh Joanne. Oh, all I can say is Oh. You're probably right, but man, Oh.
11 - Christine
Right on, Diana, saw some of your others ones too. lmao!

Okay, gotta ask - I've been trying to figure out how to embed images for some time, but I guess I'm code-challenged. How do I embed images in the articles?
And as for "Wonder Woman"...um...that's just not right....

Diana,
I linked this to my Facebook page. It is receiving all the love it deserves which is much. :D

ROTFLMAO!!!!

You'll notice that risible though the folks in Diana's images are, none of them appear to be engaging in any kind of racist or terroristic activity, contrary to the scaremongering.

We can find plenty of those signs, too, if you like, Dave. The trouble is that they are not as reliably funny, and in fact often are nauseating. ["We came unarmed -- this time" is a mild example. Referring to the government as "gangsters" was pretty classy too.]
Comparing the president to Nero is merely ridiculous.
My favorite line of the day came from Pres. Obama himself: At Tax Day rallies, you'd think they would be saying thank you," since virtually everyone attending paid lower taxes in 2009 than in 2008 thanks to stimulus rebates and other tax breaks.

Sartorially speaking "things" appear to really be "heading south" for one of the revelers in particular.
Perhaps, though, if you ever reconsider your decision NOT to use the Enlarge button, you will discover that tromp l'oeil was employed in the most...attention-getting...part of the get-up. Look at the wrists. Flesh-colored sleeve lines. Same with the thighs.
Hit the enlarge button. You know you want to.

Stop being buzz-kills Handyguy and Dave.

I agree on the Nero sign. Nero deserves better.

dave: "You'll notice that risible though the folks in Diana's images are, none of them appear to be engaging in any kind of racist or terroristic activity"
then you'll also notice that they're all white, right? see a minority? if someone wanted to put up a post full of the tea party's racism, would you say that the tea party was 100% racists? because someone could. this doesn't let them off the hook whatsoever. no more than a bunch of photos of teabaggers being racist shits would.
21 - zingzing
...indict them. sorry.
22 - diana hartman
Dave, there were plenty of pictures of verbal confrontation between either side, but no captions sprang to mind other than, "I'm fondly reminded of drunken Thanksgivings while the Vietnam war raged and my cousins plummeted me in a rousing game of Kill the Guy With the Ball."
23 - diana hartman
Baritone, thank you for the FB nudge :)
24 - Jordan Richardson
Wow. That is all.

The last time I checked there were no minority hosts on MSNBC. Therefore MSNBC must be a racist network right?
Kelly O'donnell actually found a black man at a Tea Party rally and asked him if he felt uncomfortable. When he said no she laughed at him.
I guess liberal msm "journalists" laughing at minorities who don't take the bait when the insinuation is that all tea partiers are racist are actually not racist while tee partiers not holding signs with racial overtones are?
The left's attempt at painting the movement as racist is failing miserably because it is not true.
