****** BREAKING: BOOK BAG GATE *********

[mythyc]

<pre-note: GinnyinWI: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5389336&mesg_id=5391184 inspired this when she said she couldn't remember carrying book bags back then after racking her brain. I take this as seriously as it is or isn't true. if debunked no biggie-- it was a fascinating trip through images and history, which at the least i hope you enjoy. if not debunked, well, yet another instance of dishonesty in those parts; we're used to it, but think about its context on yesterday's day in history...>

Find me one picture online of a female student carrying her books in a book bag in the 1960s. Just one. I looked, for awhile. Because it's fun ---- revealing her silly stupid manipulative little lies. I left out pictures of protests. Although no protest photo I could find had a student male or female holding a bookbag, it's understandable that one might be having too hard a time dodging riot police to wield a book bag.

Bonobo has already compiled Hillary photo's circa 1968 (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5389336&mesg_id=5389674). no bookbag in sight. To his list I add:

note: all pictures are between 1965-1973 (though I pushed for 1967-1969) ; purses don't count :P

Observe every other picture I could find of any students of the period:

first the close ups, holding books, not bags. Also observe backgrounds... all carrying books, not bags:

now for some historical context. I'm sure we've all seen these pictures, but have ever looked for book bags in them? (brief cases don't count, and only men (James Meredith in picture 1) are carrying them anyway). Also ponder, the weight of this history, and that this is the legacy that Hillary is exploiting and trying to politically profiteer...

...

most important for current purposes: --- at Little Rock, as soldiers escort those brave 9 African American students, the rest of the student body observes. Not a single back pack on all those backs...

and now general memory lane college life fun:
