Washington DC DUers -- do you have a photo?
There's a guy who drives slowly around the Mall in an old, small red pickup truck with CA plates. He's built up huge plywood signs on every available space on the truck. It's a moving and graphic billboard for every ultra-right wing cause you can imagine, primarily anti-gay and anti-choice.

Everytime I see it I'm commuting. One can't just hop out of one's car in the middle of rush hour traffic to snap a photo.

Does anyone have a pic of this monstrosity, or know of a way I might be able to find one on the web?

1. I don't have a photo
But he also has a bull horn or something on it, where he spouts off his views to the tourists. Every time I've heard him he's been saying something about the Clintons.

2. Sure, I've seen him

Have you also seen the old, beaten up bus with anti-choice crap that seems always to on either K or L Streets?

I don't have a photo of either, but why would you want one?

4. "why would you want one?"
Proof. I'm building a small web site to display virulent and dangerous anti-gay speech -- not to try to stop it (wish I could, but wouldn't), just to show people "yes, as a matter of fact, people DO "think" this way."

I haven't seen the bus on K/L Streets, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

5. The car completely covered in bumber stickers?
I've seen that a couple times parked by the Fleet Center before events.

6. seen it but not a picture
have you heard the spiel he lets loose on his bullhorn? I saw him yelling out the window about how "faggots are all going to hell" to a 4 year old girl whose mother looked absolutely appalled.

9. haven't heard the bullhorn...
I've been spared. I wish the 4-yr-old had been, too, but they don't care what they do to children. They literally try to scare them into mindless acceptance of "what is right." :puke: :puke: :puke:

7. Crazy Right Wing Fools Like Him Are Perfect Advertisement For Our Side
he clearly represents the party of hate and american division. Who wants to jump on THAT bandwagon? Let the idiot spew his hatred and convert more and more to the democratic party of inclusion and reason.

8. wingnuts have been doing this
since the day Clinton took office. (I'm sorry but I have no pictures). I remember one from the early Clinton days, a truck that towed huge signs about Bill Clinton having HIV virus and other anti-gay wingnut insanities.
