President Obama was greeted with wild applause and shouts of “We love you!” from thousands of adoring supporters as he took the stage at the Nob Hill Masonic Center on Thursday night.

NOW they are traitors since a democrat is in the White House.
I dunno. (Is that a trick question?)
code plink
Two of them. I seem to remember quite a few more of them protesting when Bush was in charge.
