->> with a very aggressive and vocal Tea Party protester calling me an "F&%*in' journalist pig."
I'm still smiling.

->> Nic, just remember, that while some maintain that we are defined by the friends we keep, we're also defined by the enemies we keep.
At this point, I'd rather be called F$%%*KIN pig by those folks than a ally. |

->> Nic,
Hearing this reminds me that I'm not alone out there covering people with extreme opinions of what we do as a profession. I'm clinking my glass to you. |

->> This is really too bad. I know many Tea Party supporters and they are far from extreme. They are in general, hard working, middle class, tax paying Americans. They don't have hate in their hearts.
But nut jobs in all walks of life ruin it for the normal folks.
Nic: Your tone indicates you had a great attitude about the situation and just let it bounce off. You had a stand off with an idiot and came out with flying colors!
The drinks on me!
Oh wait...
You live too far away!
How about a virtual drink?

->> Yeah, I've learned not to take anything personally.
I told the guy that "I know I can't change your opinion on me, but I have a job to do in taking photos here."
It's how it goes some days.
I even got to photograph a woman who was dressed in revolutionary war-esque garb! |
