Protesters Greet Palin in San Francisco Style
Environmentalists in wolf costumes howled in pain while union members led chants from a flatbed truck. A Sarah Palin impersonator winked and vamped as protesters in Mad Men inspired 50's costumes sent the message "Sarah is setting back the clock on women's rights". Oh, and there's nothing like a giant missiled war machine with a mask wearing McCain inside to inspire the anti-war activists of San Francisco and surrounding cities!
Thanks to Robin Yasuko Goka for most photos here.
It was all part of a San Francisco style "welcome" for Republican candidate Sarah Palin on October 5.

It was all part of a San Francisco style "welcome" for Republican candidate Sarah Palin on October 5.
Several hundred angry protestors gathered in front of the Hyatt-Regency Hotel in Burlingame, adjacent to the San Francisco airport, to demonstrate their displeasure with the GOP platform and particularly with the extremist war-loving and anti-woman's rights views of Sarah Palin.
The Republican vice-presidential candidate was speaking to a monied Republican crowd inside the hotel, but reporters were forbidden to enter.

We should have had a poster with something like, "The Wall Street Bail Out is screwing people who work for a living so fat pigs can survive" or "Privatize profits, socialize losses" with "Smile or give a thumbs up if you agree". This is just one issue, but I can not think of any others we and the Palin people would agree on.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
