LOL - Billionaires for Wealthcare pic on front page of Yahoo News
They have this pic... caption still not fixed...



Protesters against US President Barack Obama's health care plan and other policies gather in Washington, DC. Obama faced down critics of his health care reform plan on Saturday, with a stark warning that any American could lose their coverage under the current system.

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR, Associated Press Writer Ricardo Alonso-zaldivar, Associated Press Writer – 28 mins ago

29. Don't be so sure. Only one sign shows, and it can be misread.
Edited on Tue Sep-15-09 10:55 AM by Festivito
LWers see profits of insurance companies.

RWers see profits of doctors being taken away that would lead to lower quality of care.

I find the use of this photo as crafty.

17. Me too! Looks like someone was having fun with the teabaggers. At least, I hope so.
If the person who chose the photo for the article doesn't get it, that would be pretty pathetic.

Then again, maybe they assume that the people depicted are serious and chose the photo to demonstrate the idiocy and hypocrisy of the whole anti-health care movement.

It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, but an great picture, regardless of the intention of the AP.

23. Technically, it is correct.
They are protesters, and appear to be opposing any option that might harm the future profits of insurance corporations.

Wit, sarcasm, irony and comedy are not in the FReeper playbook.
