Continued anti-war protests are anticipated next week as the pro-war presidential candidate John McCain tours California.

Although there has been no formal announcement by any particular anti-war organization, independent local grassroots groups appear to be mobilizing for demonstrations. McCain will be in California from Monday to Wednesday of next week. McCain’s schedule includes stops in San Diego, Palm Desert, Orange County, Los Angeles, Carmel and San Francisco.

No credit is given any cause that uses blatantly manipulated images to try and prove its point.

§The Image Documents a Real Event

The image is a clip from a video that was widely broadcast during the 2004 election. The infamous hug occurred during a Bush campaign rally. The image was used by the republicans to symbolize party unity and a healing of the rift between the two rival factions of the party. The image was useful the republicans back then but it is now a liability and is not good for McCain because it ties him to the unpopular policies of BuSh. Policies that McCain plans to continue. This is of course why “sirhc” seeks to discredit it.
