(46,179 posts)266. Yes. I have several.
The only favorites I can think of since '07 are those during the primaries, with DU polls ranking Dennis Kucinich as first choice for DU, followed by Edwards, with Obama and HRC far, far, far behind. Repeatedly. They made me feel at home. I think those were posted by Bobthedrummer? Those, and some of the shots, still and video, of OWS at its peak.
Some others...the posts in solidarity against the war drums leading up to the '03 invasion; some of the videos of protests across the nation posted at that time.
Many of the posts in the old "Meeting Room."
And Walt Starr's "goodbye," although I wish he, and so many other greats now gone, were still here.
