VPOTUS Nelson Rockefeller Gives The Finger To Protestors

This is one of my favorite political photos. At a campaign stop for Senator Bob Dole (on the VP's left) in '76, Nelson Rockefeller was heckled by protesters over his Vietnam war policy. Rocky ricocheted it. Soon after this, and unrelated to the famous finger, an appellate court ruled that giving the finger was not legally obscene.
