That is clear: ANSWER thinks it is ok to KILL American troops...for peace.Well, not really for peace, for the revolution actually.

Speaking of money to fund the abomination. On one of their commie websites, they were giving bus info to the comrades, and even offered, get this, "Bus Scholarships". I assume this is their new and improved way of saying they will pay people to go to add to their numbers!

One of these days, I've just got to get out of these TN. hills and attend a DC rally. My thanks to all who made it to this one in support of our troops. Thanks for the ping and for the links to other rally threads, RC.
Welcome to FR, cargosquid!

I dont believe God Hates should ever be used as a message when trying to rally the people together, but at least these guys had enough respect to separate themselves from the other groups.
I can understand their sentiment and have to wonder if anyone who believes that sign is unacceptable because it alienates regular Americans would also understand how using the catch phrase Support President Bush also serves to alienate people.
I can only speak of my experiences here in South Florida but I can tell you the Republican Party has alienated a wide segment of our population by turning the SOT rallies into Republican conventions and raising their idol to a position above the cause of supporting the troops.
If their intent is really to gain support for the troops why do they insist on slapping Libertarians and Constitutionalist in the face with their Republican propaganda?
This tactic literally places the independent between a rock and a hard place, while they oppose the implications of the Patriot Act they can not bring themselves to stand with the socialists of the A.N.S.W.E.R. group. And while they know themselves to be patriotic they can not endorse what they perceive as fascism within the Republican Party.
The guys with the God Hates sign separated the issues and in my opinion were able to voice their concerns in more acceptable manner than the ideological Republicans who have hi-jacked the SOT rallies.
So Rob, who do you think is going to need the abestos suit?

Thanks for pinging this thread to your list of Freepers. All the great pics of Saturday deserve to be widely seen; supporting our Troops is what Real Citizens can do to help keep our country safe.

I can only speak of my experiences here in South Florida but I can tell you the Republican Party has alienated a wide segment of our population by turning the SOT rallies into Republican conventions and raising their idol to a position above the cause of supporting the troops. Agreed. Bob Dornan is (R), but he kept his comments on supporting our troops, and mentioned the (D) candidates as regards their obvious and vehement attack on US policy in Iraq, and how that serves to embolden the Saddam loyalists and Islamist terrorists and demoralizes our troops. HE also mentioned that if the war had happened on Clinton's watch - they'd be big supporters.
Also, Curtis Sliwa gave the "conservative politicians" a piece of his mind because they don't come out to these rallies - because they aren't going to be huge events. That kind of makes it a self-fulfilling prophecy, sadly.
But we were there. All "few dozen" of us. If we had not been out on the streets, the cANSWER commies would have had the playing field all to themselves. We won't give the bast#rds that satisfaction.
Since the DC Chapter doesn't have an "in" with the (R) bigwigs, there's no danger of us turning our rallies into (R) conventions.

P.S. The (R)s only call me when they need free labor.

Your photos of the hordes rounding the street corner accurately depict the event. There are several of the crowd who came over to engage in various dialogues. Some very angry and some patient and pleading. They actually thought we could be converted with ardent supplications for peace.
My two favorite signs in the crowd:
A yellow poster board with the barely legible Sharpie message "Dykes For Peace"
And the futile effort by the Democratic Undergounder who carried an excellently rendered fist thrownin us the bird...... saying "Freepers suck" or some such. Imagine the pathetic mind that came to such an event and completely missed the point. Ahhh the futility. The effort to make the excellent poster was considerable. It was a great joke and a complete waste of time. The poster was a wonderful metaphor for the whole affair.
It was a great day....a tremendous opportunity to piss off thousands merely be being there.
