9. I've wondered about that photo...

Is it possible that he is actually anti-war and wanted to get his picture taken with a misspelling on his sign so that people could conclude that pro-war people (at least this one and a sizable portion of the others, probably) were stupid? It just strikes me as strange that not only does he misspell "moron," but the misspelling occurs on a sign in which he tells others to get smart. Also the way he's standing and puffing out his chest is odd. And it appears as though he's trying to keep a grin off his face.

11. With that head scarf and Cardinal shirt...

it seems he might be a moran...that's why I was wondering if anyone knew if this guy got to see what a big star he became, sort of like Jethro Bodine

Thanks. I've been wondering that myself.

4. I Believe it Was a Pro-War Rally

or rather, a group of right-wingers protesting an anti-war march. There was a widely circulated photo of a freeper or like-minded person holding up a sign calling the anti-war marchers "MORANS".

It's too tempting to use their own misspellings against them.

14. Lester Moran the Old Road Hawg?

I honestly think I know who the guy in the Moran Photo is! His name is Matt H., he is from here and is now living where that photo was taken! The guy's entire family is also hardcore repubs! My wife thinks it is Matt also! I am skeerd to put his entire name on the net, but I'm about 99.9% positive I'm correct!

The guy's family still lives here, although I haven't seen him here in about 4 years! If I do see him I'll ask him about the photo and report back! This cat was bald by the time he was 25 and he always wears a head cover of some type! The guy was my next door neighbor for a couple of years and is X Army!

Edit}}}}BTW the dude I'm talkin' about lives in the town the Cards play in and has for about 4 years!

15. No, the freeper was protesting a anti-war protest

It was originally posted with several other pics of right wingers on a Indy web site. Hang on and I'll see if I can find it.
