BI-COASTAL FREEP OF LEFTIST PROTEST AGAINST FOX NEWS

[BillF]

Today at noon, FReepers of the DC Chapter left their barracks to oppose Code Pink and associated leftist malcontents.

About 30 leftists had gathered to protest Fox News at the Fox office near Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.

Starting the thread now & will add to later.

Our California cousins, also known as FReepers in the San Francisco area, are invited to add comments to this thread about their activities in the West Coast theatre of operations in opposition to the Code Pinkos attack on the SF Fox office.

Completely outclassing the leftists was a gathering of eagles. Intrepid FReepers Angelwood, Free the Hostages, Kristinn, Jimmy Valentine’s Brother, and BillF made the attendance honor roll.

Among the signs of the FReepers were:

FOX ROCKS CODE PINK STINKS

PEACENIKS QUAGMIRE FOX RATINGS HIGHER

CODE PINK LOVES (i.e., red heart) PETER ARNETT

(with names and photos of Code Pink leader Medea Benjamin and Peter Arnett both labeled as traitors)

“ANTI-WAR” MOVEMENT IN A QUAGMIRE

All of the above signs also included FR’s internet address.

Angelwood had a great sign with Chevy Chase doing the news from Saturday Night Live and with the caption SADDAM IS STILL DEAD.

Free the Hostages had a very inventive sign or costume. She wore a box labeled on two sides. One side said “I ONLY WATCH CNN . . . WHY IS IT SO DARK IN HERE?”. Other side said “I GET MY NEWS FROM THE NY TIMES . . . LOW LEVEL ANONYMOUS SOURCES.” On each side, the second, lower phrase on each side was in smaller letters.

Among the slogans:

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT IN A QUAGMIRE

CODE PINK IS THE MEDEA DIVISION [Medea is the adopted first name of Code Pink founder Baghdad Benjamin)

JVB shouted several times: YOU TOOK THE BROWN ACID AT WOODSTOCK . . . YOU’RE STILL STUCK IN THE SIXTIES and YOU’RE STRUCK IN A 60s QUAGMIRE.

Several of us were interviewed by the press.

Watch this space. More later.

Onward and upward!

[sauropod]

Very nice. I was unable to go to this. Really hated sitting this one out. 'Pod

[Humidston]

Good report and BRAVO! We love you guys!

[BillF]

Bumping this to our SF area cousins in case they wanted to add their after-action report here from the West Coast Theatre of Operations.

If one or more of you has a more complete ping list for SF area, please ping to that list.

Salute from DC FReepers!

[Mr. Silverback]

“Now that’s some funky freepin’!”

[BillF]

Bumping to you guys & requesting a ping to the DC Chapter list.

How cruel, accusing the Code Pink "women?" of loving a man

[BillF]

YOU’RE STRUCK IN A 60s QUAGMIRE

JVB did NOT have my typo when he chanted his slogan. It was:

YOU'RE STUCK IN A 60s QUAGMIRE.

I did not know of this I had the day off would of loved to be there. I live in leesburg

Fox should put out examples of the bias of the other networks daily. A few of Rush's video clips should do the job.

Is the freep still on? I will walk over

What street?

[BillF]

Is the freep still on?

No.

DC FReep was about 12 to 1:15 Eastern time. Our California troops may still be engaged with the SF Code Pinkos or may have already routed them.

I had hoped to bring two volunteers but pesky work interfered and they had to stay back. I believe I have found someone who can give the belly lady a run for her money. She has promised an appearance on the April 12th. She was very disappointed that she couldn't make the scene. My other volunteer, I refer to him as Reverend Pham, was also disappointed that work interfered. I gave him a quick debrief as to our activities. When I told him that we were 6 against about 20 (I'm worth at least 2), he said, "oh a Special Forces Team." I think he'll also make the 12 April scene.

When I first arrived on the scene, I used my best command voice to shout across the street "We demand that Fox News interview Saddam Hussien immediately." That caused the pink ladies to stop in their tracks. They had been walking in circles. I repeated myself and I think they did a BufordP tantrum. We are waiting for further confirmation on that. FTH and Angelwood were very pleased with my volume. I must admit that my voice cracked as I had not brought water (note to self, it's getting warmer now you need to bring water).

Oh yeah, as we left the area we sang in our best voices, “Hi-ho, hi-ho it’s back to work we go, hi-ho, hi-ho, hi-ho. That cracked our protective force up. As usual, we thanked the officers for protecting us from the violent radical left. All in all a delightful warm Spring Day

This was originally a stealth freep. The DC Chapter has an activities calendar that you can monitor to see what we're up to. Jim Robinson has kindly provided a link to the DC Chapter's Web page on the FreeRepublic Home Page.

Hey! how could I forget. Gary Bauer stopped by to thank us for being out on the streets. kristinn took analog pictures. BillF had his digital camera with him but I don't know if he employed it.
