ED MCNAMARA is doing more photoblogging from the pro-troops counterprotest in Washington today.

UPDATE: McNamara’s subjects make an interesting contrast to these folks. And these folks.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Still more photoblogging here.

MORE: David Adesnik — who was, unlike me, actually there — offers a comparison of styles between protesters and counterprotesters, though it comes out about the same in the end. I don’t understand, though, why calling members of the Workers’ World Party “communists” counts as pejorative, rather than descriptive.

However, he also makes this observation:

The Democratic Party, both in terms of official organizations and major politicians, stayed away from yesterday’s protests like the plague.

Combine that with the DailyKos criticism of the antiwar protesters, and I might almost conclude that there’s hope for the Democratic Party yet.
