DC Chapter PING!

Congrats on the mention, Lady, and good hunting tomorrow!

This soldier is grateful for what you're doing...

DC chapter making a difference! They won't let the leftists go unchallenged.

[Saundra Duffy]

Go, DC Chapter!!

[concerned about politics]

Do they really think anyone cares? All they do is block traffic make a big mess afterwards.
No one pays any attention to them. Most people have lives.
Kudos to the FReepers for the in-your-face FReep. Go ahead and hurt their self esteem.

[Britton J Wingfield]

Richardson said his son supports "very strongly" his parents' right to speak out.

Note that he supports their right to speak out, not the content of their blather.

[BillF]

Pinging DC Chapter list.

[patton]

Intersting ... If I ain't back by 1400, send help.

Allright, they're finally going to protest. Great, I am so glad somebodys going to speak up for our troops being in Kosovo so long. First things first right?

[nutmeg]

ping!

THANK YOU to all FReepers who will be there this weekend representing Free Republic!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

Could get ugly here in SF. They will gather at the Civic Center the march to a park near the projects in the Western Addition. Cynthia McKinney is a speaker. I can already predict that anger about "the man" will be linked to anti War fervor and Interantional ANSWER Communist rhetoric. There is a purpose for conducting the march to that neighborhood. I hope I am wrong.

[BillF]

Congrats on the mention, Lady [emphasis added]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment, but Kristinn is a guy.

This soldier is grateful for what you're doing...

Sarge, all FReepers are grateful for what you've done and do. All our freedoms exist because of you and your fellow troops, past and present.

[Frank_2001]

FReep those lefty morons!:) Those people are idiots! "The United States has no right to try and re-colonize Iraq" When was Iraq ever a US colony????

[BillF]

Workers of the World, Unite!

See frame 2 below.

Antiwar movement as seen by liberal media in Mallard Fillmore:

Above is a great comic illustration of what many in ANSWER, including their leaders, are like.

(If your local paper doesn't carry Bruce Tinsley's great Mallard Fillmore comic, ask it to carry media-bias fighting Fillmore: King Features, telephone 212-455-4000.)

If they do draw that many in D.C. and S.F., expect things to get violent and destructive. That's the nature of Leftists - they have no ethics, no morals, no scruples, and no brains.

[BillF]

The police, at least those in DC, will be ready for them.

Actually, I think (and hope) that significant violence will be avoided.

The group of anarchists, who are especially prone to violence, will be watched especially closely by the police.

I generally agree with your characterization of the hardcore leftists.

However, when the commies like ANSWER are trying to get widespread support, they usually try to keep things under control. It's not out of the goodness of their hearts, it's just a marketing strategy.

They could turn at any moment, but they prefer this strategy as long as they can get quite a few very misguided people (pacifists, non-commie dissenters who support democracy, etc.) to march in their Stalinist-led parade.

[sauropod]

We will be there. To counter that squeaky chew-toy Peta Lindsay if nothing else.
