Ted Kennedy FReep Report Austin,Tx 12/12/03

[DrewsDad]

Ted Kennedy was invited by The Texas Civil Rights Project as the keynote speaker at their 13th Annual Bill of Rights Dinner in Austin, Texas. Ted brought with him dreary weather with intermittant drizzle thoughout most of the day. Despite terrible traffic and conflicts with other meetings, we managed to get 5 Freepers and RLC(Republican Liberty Caucus) members out to FReep Teddy on a miserable evening. The honor roll includes Basil, Gracey, Sue, Don, and myself.

We setup on the public sidewalk at the entrance to the Four Seasons hotel where Teddy was speaking. There was a stoplight at the entrance, so we had a significant amount of traffic in addition to all those arriving for the dinner who had to drive by us. We had numerous displays of the Democrat IQ(1 middle finger) as well as a few who rolled down there window to insult President Bush. We responded with chants of "FOUR MORE YEARS" and "DON'T DRINK AND DIVE" among others.

We stayed around until the entering traffic pretty much died down. Afterwards, most of us returned for the rest of the RLC meeting and enjoyed various Thai dishes that I won't attempt to spell. The conditions were less than ideal, but we had good food and fellowship while ticking of a significant number of liberals. Great job Heart of Texas Freepers and RLC members.

H.O.T. Ping for Ted Kennedy FReep Report

[DrewsDad]

You know you can't FReep just once. Thanks for getting Ketchup Boy.

awesome work! :)

[Dog Gone]

You deserve combat pay for being a conservative in Austin.

The majority of conservatives in Austin are there because they were elected from somewhere else in the state.

[DrewsDad]

You deserve combat pay for being a conservative in Austin.

We told the reporter at last week's Hillary FReep that the VRWC was doubling our pay for targeting Hillary.

Don't we have any border control anymore?

LOL, trying not to awake DrewsMom who came up with the "FOR OR AGAINST" sign idea.

Thanks for getting the report up, DD!

The only observations I can add are that it seemed to me to be a sparse crowd coming in. Of course we have no idea of how many were already inside when we arrived, but we were there an hour before the event started. Also, it seemed very low key--no media that we could see, no security personnel, other than the guy working for the hotel.

Also, Gracey and I had an interesting conversation with the hotel security guy. I can't relate much of the conversation in the event that his supervisor at the hotel happens to read this. Suffice it to say, this guy is way over the top as a 2nd Amendment supporter.

I am still astonished at the number of one finger salutes we always get. It just looks odd to me to see a well dressed woman, riding in a $100,000 automobile to suddenly look us in the eye and flip us the bird. I suppose money can't buy character. We did get one thumb's up from some older guy going into the hotel--and probably to the meething, though.

Well-done, Austin FReepers! Those are some great signs. I especially like basil's T-shirt.

Ted Kennedy is a disgrace, an embarrassment and a has-been. May the voters of Mass. retire him soon.

[basil]

I found it stupidly ironic that Ted Kennedy was speaking at a function honoring the Bill of Rights---I'm still reeling over that---LOL!

[Flora McDonald]

Well, I guess Teddy's rights are protected by lots of money and a seat in the US Senate. Now what about the rest of us?

You Texans are made of strong stuff. Thanks for getting out in the rain and FReepin' on behalf of America.

That was my favorite sign. Good work.
