Can anyone identify where and when this picture is from, and maybe some background info?

Some of us have been thinking that it's from the 2004 Presidential Inaugural, in January, Washington DC, but no one knows for sure.

offhand, i'd say it's a 404 from Geocities ;)

try imageshack if it's yours or if you still have it cached.

why does geocities suck so hard?

Looks like it was an Inauguration Protest in D.C.

These guys reference the poster in their January 20, 2005 entry, and this is an entry bartcop.com about the poster and the protest.

Well, you see, there was this election in America, and depending on which side you were on, it either went well or not so well...

I hope she's telling him just how disrespectful he's being to the flag...

I've definately seen that guy around DC.

I may have seen him at the the inaugural, or the Jan 6 electoral college protest ... or the (relatively recent) "Conyers delivers DSM petition" rally (but since it's referenced on 1/20, I guess that's out).
