[kristinn]

Your are cordially invited to join Trueblackman and myself this Tuesday afternoon as we counter-freep the Code Pinkos outside Fox News' New York City studios. They are calling their protest a "Shut-up-athon." So much for free speech.

Please bring signs bearing messages of support for Fox News and signs pointing out Code Pink's anti-American agenda. American flags are always welcome.

Code Pink is scheduled to start at 4 p.m., so please plan to be there to greet them by arriving at 3:30 p.m.

Here's Code Pink's announcement:

August 31st 4:00pm The Official Republican National Convention FOX NEWS "SHUT-UP-A-THON"

1211 Ave. of Americas (btwn. 47th & 48th) Join Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly in shouting, “Shut up!”(his favorite line) in front of Fox’s corporate HQ. Also, you won’t want to miss the spectacular moves of the “Fox News Republican Cheerleaders” – guaranteed to leave you stupefied*

Brought to you by CODEPINK, Houston Global Awareness, Prometheus Radio Project, Reclaim the Media, Ronald Reagan Home for the Criminally Insane, The Tejas Bloc and others.

*An Oct. 2003 study by the University of Maryland found that people who rely on the Fox News Channel as their main news source are wildly misinformed about key issues regarding the Iraq war and that the more they watch, the more misinformed they are.

Note the mockery of the late Ronald Reagan's Alzheimers disease.

FYI.

Soak Medea Benjamin in silly string.

[kristinn]

I've got to post and run. I'll check back in the morning. Hope to see some familiar faces tomorrow!

Kristinn -- I had planned not to go into the city, but now -- I can't. I wrenched a knee. When I saw that you were in NYC, and now with a call for support, I really feel bad about it.

Give the 'pinkos' hell!

[TNCMAXQ]

I'm not sure how to post here, but speaking of freeps, perhaps as many AOL members as they can should vote in the poll there. They are asking is the GOP exploiting 9/11 for political purposes. 47% of the responses are from morons who say yes. How outrageous.

[God'sgrrl]

If only I could be there....to stand up to those weirdos.

[Joy Angela]

Go Get 'Em
Bump!!

[Angelwood]

So sorry to hear about your knee -- take care so it heals quickly. BTW, my knees are much better and I use the cane sparingly.

Bumping the thread -- I hope FReepers and lurkers in the area can make it to the counterprotest of CODEPINKO and Medea Benjamin. Won't she be surprised!

[firebrand]

Go kristinn!!

Soak Medea Benjamin in silly string.

I ran into that bit** at a local rally for Arnold the weekend before his election. Her group of radical lesbians tried to cut in line (we had to go thru a metal detector) with signs (no signs allowed). The crowd yelled at them to go to the end of the line.

While Arnold talked, they wouldn't shut up. Kept up the "groping' mantra None of them would ever be groped (at least by a man).

After the speech, they were in the press area, giving interviews to the lemmings. When asked why we couldn't go into the press area, the cop said we would be arrested if we did!

She was also one of the idiots who was going to be a human shield (grease stain) in Iraq.

I wrenched a knee.

Ouch! I hope you feel better.

[Deb]

Give Medussa a special "Hi" por moi.

[Deb]

I noticed there was footage of her, acting out, with a gaggle of her lezbo friends on the news wearing signs: "Rich Republican Bitch". No one would ever mistake her for the first two.

[ApplegateRanch]

Not quite right.

It is a dig at President Reagan going back to his days as governor, for 'his closing CA's mental hospitals, and heartlessly turning the mentally ill out onto the streets'.

IOW, the streets are now the home of the criminally insane, because of that "mean spirited, nasty, stingy Republican!'

Their hate never dissipates, or moves to new targets; instead they just add new things to also hate. You would think it would become too diffuse, but it never seems to. They have an unlimited supply.

[Dont Mention the War]

Do these morons realize that Fox isn't broadcasting from any streetside studios during the convention?

I hope Fox changes the ticker on the side of the building to taunt the protestors, like they did the last time a bunch of losers showed up to "make a statement."

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Put some ice on it!

You take care Exit. There'll be plenty to do in the future.

[OPS4]

Those of us who can't be at Fox News, can freep the Fox News site message boards, and send emails to the hosts letting them know we realize the Commies are following
orders form The American Communist Party HQ, and Michael Moore, who will be documenting the civil unrest to attack the Republican's after the convention.

Counter strike and let them know we are supporting Fox News!

OPS4 God BLess America!

[firebrand]

Sorry to hear it. Sit back, relax, and watch the show tonight: Look for me in the gallery--a late-breaking guest pass!
