Jack Langer deserves a purple heart for wading into that pile of feces.

One of the commenters at the article site was a anti-war rally participant (so I take his remarks with a very large grain of salt). He said 100,000, not 8,000, participated.

Have any numbers having some degree of reliability estimating the size of the protest/march/celebration/happening been put up yet ?

I'm still wiping tears of laughter from my eyes.

This so perfectly catches the essence of the "anti-war protesters" that it must be chiseled into granite and displayed along major highways.

Thank you so much for posting it.

There was a similar protest here in town. I think a total of 30 people showed up. I went down there looking for a confrontation but it seemed that few if any were willing to do anything more than their stupid “kumbaya” mantras. What a pathetic, slimy lot they were.

That’s the thing that irks me so much about these POS. They want to enjoy all the freedoms we so take for granted every day but are totally unwilling to so much as lift a finger to protect them. Instead they are willing to hand the fox the keys to the henhouse in the vein of the “why can’t we all get along” mentality. They either fail or refuse to acknowledge the dire threat to our country that radical islam presents. I told more than one of them yesterday that the word “peace” does not exist in the word appeasement. It seemed to go right over their pointy little heads.

An interesting piece, but someone should tell Langer that the past tense of “lie” (as in “to lie down”) is “lay,” not “lied.”

I see you just signed up today but you need to post the correct title so we don’t have multiple postings of the same articles.

Welcome to FR

“Then, when two young men danced a little too long for the crowd on top of the wall, the police hit them with pepper spray. Blinded and choking, they went over the wall anyway. A protestor taunted the cops, yelling “Ha-ha, they won.” I suppose if you define “winning” as getting gassed and arrested, then yes, the two men won.”

Only losers would consider that a win.

The Dems have pulled the rug out from under the pacifists because they’ve figured out that it’s no longer in their political interest to have these demonstrations. First, Bush’s policy is making a comeback. Second, the lib anti-war bunch has repeatedly embarrassed the Democrats, and forced them to apologize and/or distance themselves from their own base. Third, they don’t want to be blamed for the disaster that would result from a pull out, so they won’t pass anything requiring a pull out, and thus, they don’t want to support groups that demand a pull out which they know very well they won’t pass.

The anarchists really disappointed me. None of them jumped the wall. They portray themselves as the most militant wing of the antiwar movement, but they didn’t even have the guts displayed by the Code Pink grandmas. The anarchists claim to want a revolution, but apparently not a single one of them is willing to risk a misdemeanor arrest to achieve that glorious goal.

Maybe because Daddy would stop their checks if they got arrested...and then how would they afford their daily dose of Starbucks Venti Caramel Macchiato with a whisper of cinnamon?

The marchers at first tried to ignore the interlopers, but their self-control always seemed to break down right around the guy who was singing into a bullhorn

“All we are saaaying, is give soap a chance.”

Some heated exchanges ensued, but the cops maintained order and the marchers eventually arrived at the Capitol.

A great setup for the old:

Hundreds of protestors lied down

I first thought Mr. Langer needed to brush up on his editing skills; but then it occurred to me that maybe "lied down" WAS the right way to describe these clowns.

Thanks for posting this.

From the article: The marchers at first tried to ignore the interlopers, but their self-control always seemed to break down right around the guy who was singing into a bullhorn “All we are saaaying, is give soap a chance.” Some heated exchanges ensued, but the cops maintained order and the marchers eventually arrived at the Capitol.

That guy, who has a bullhorn and knows how to use it, was FR's own Doctor Raoul. He practically mowed the leftists down using only his words. As Raoul destroyed their party-like atmosphere with biting humor and brilliant wit, some leftists responded with rage, others with dejection. A few leftists recognized an on-target jab and joined the patriots in laughter as Raoul mocked some lefty target.

Several times, enraged lefties swung their signs at Raoul's loudspeaker supported on the barricade between the American patriots and the lefties. The signs caused feedback as they covered the sign. Raoul often pulled the speaker back off the barricade as that happened. The person just to the side of Raoul grabbed several of the paper signs being swung against the speaker and Raoul's arm holding it.

Occasionally, and as the leftists lost it completely, Raoul would say things like, "Would someone tell please tell the peace marchers to remain peaceful?" and "STOP THE LEFTWING VIOLENCE."

A Reuters video camera caught some of the interplay between Raoul and the leftists, but they didn't release it as part of their coverage on the website.

A funny thing about these D.C. rallies and counter-rallies is that the pro-American side always turns out early, while the leftists can never seem to get anything organized before noon.

Good one - funny - and predictable.

Love this article, great job by all and especially Dr. Raoul, the master modulator!

A professor in college told a class I was in back in the '80s that the term "dirty hippie" started back in the beatnik days, she said that toward the end of those times there was some kind of protest where the beatniks refused to shower, and the term "carried over" into the hippie era.

That doesn't explain the many unshowered leftist hippies we see today, however. I think a lot of it has to do with the homeless type, party down, drug ridden society that seems to be at the root of protester philosophy.

Hey, that makes me think of a new sign for the next march. Near the beginning of it, have your hippiest looking Pro-American by himself with a sign "Warning - Drug Sniffing Police Dogs Ahead." That should peel off a few marchers!
