Ted Kennedy FReep Report Austin,Tx 12/12/03

[DrewsDad]

Ted Kennedy was invited by The Texas Civil Rights Project as the keynote speaker at their 13th Annual Bill of Rights Dinner in Austin, Texas. Ted brought with him dreary weather with intermittant drizzle thoughout most of the day. Despite terrible traffic and conflicts with other meetings, we managed to get 5 Freepers and RLC(Republican Liberty Caucus) members out to FReep Teddy on a miserable evening. The honor roll includes Basil, Gracey, Sue, Don, and myself.

We setup on the public sidewalk at the entrance to the Four Seasons hotel where Teddy was speaking. There was a stoplight at the entrance, so we had a significant amount of traffic in addition to all those arriving for the dinner who had to drive by us. We had numerous displays of the Democrat IQ(1 middle finger) as well as a few who rolled down there window to insult President Bush. We responded with chants of "FOUR MORE YEARS" and "DON'T DRINK AND DIVE" among others.

We stayed around until the entering traffic pretty much died down. Afterwards, most of us returned for the rest of the RLC meeting and enjoyed various Thai dishes that I won't attempt to spell. The conditions were less than ideal, but we had good food and fellowship while ticking of a significant number of liberals. Great job Heart of Texas Freepers and RLC members.

Good job! I just wish he'd make an appearance in Ohio.

I talked to a friend who is actually a lawyer with the group that sponsored the event. He said that Ted didn't even mention the 2nd amendment. They setup a group of people just for security in case anyone tried to disrupt him. I told him we were law abiding citizens who were standing of for the Bill of Rights and had concerns about Teddy's disregard for several of them.

He's not worth the energy it would take to disrupt him.
