I have to believe, from the latest happenings and announcements on the ANSWER and other leftist sites, that smoke and mirrors are no longer effective, and that ANSWER is spinning its wheels and trying to dig out of its malaise.

If ANSWER thought they could still spin that they had a broad base of support, and that they could get large numbers of people to DC, they would not have changed plans so close to the date of the "mass rally" in DC. I think they know that their numbers would be small, and news coverage of their recent forays has been less glowing than in the beginning. So now ANSWER and their lefty buddies are going for local coverage, to try and recover their base.

March 20th can be the "stick a fork in it" day for the radical left's assault on the US, if the regular folk (that's us, kiddos) stage our own local counterdemonstrations to theirs. I know that time is very short, but I know that there are tons of right-thinking people in NC, especially Fayetteville, who can wave flags and signs and set the record straight about the red roots of the "peace movement."

Oh heck, maybe it isn't necessary. Maybe only 100 lefties will show up. But do you all want those 100 lefties to have the undivided attention of the local news crews?

If I still lived in NC, I know where I'd be on March 20th.

The latest email news from ANSWER has a paragraph listing locations where they are trying to get local rallies organized for March 20, 2004.

In addition to the major regional demonstrations taking place in New York City, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles, momentum is growing across the country and around the world to make March 20 a massive day of global action. Cities organizing local protests include: Atlanta, Georgia; Augusta, Maine; Bellingham, Washington; Charlotte, North Carolina; Columbus, Ohio; Crawford, Texas; Dallas, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Des Moines, Iowa; Eureka, California; Fort Wayne, Indiana; Fresno, California; Lansing, Michigan; Lincoln, Nebraska; Mobile, Alabama; Naples, Florida; New Bedford, Massachusetts; New Orleans, Louisiana; Oxford, Michigan; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Portland, Oregon; Riverside, California; Rockford, Illinois; San Diego, California; San Jose, California; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Seattle, Washington; Tallahassee, Florida; Tucson, Arizona; Ventura, California; Waterloo, Iowa; Yellow Springs, Ohio; and many more!

There is also a note next to Washington, DC which indicates that they will be loading buses in DC to travel to the New York City event -- we are checking to see if this means they are giving up on anything big in DC this time.

Is there a NC chapter of Protest Warrior? If ever there were a few idiots that needed to be shouted down -- especially those from that communist International bookstore in Chapel Hill...

Let me, MYkdsmom or Constitution Day know if you want on or off the NCPing list or if you think you've been accidentally dropped or ....

[rangerwife]

I don't think they'll get too much sympathy or support here in Fayetteville. Not with all the yellow ribbons, flags, etc I see around.

[Vinnie]

Shows you how out of touch with reality these jerks are, Fayetteville for an anti-war rally.

Guess they couldn't wait for May Day.

Fayetteville? That's asking for trouble.

[JackDanielsOldNo7]

They should blend in well with this democrat hell hole that is Cumberland County.(Fayetteville NC)

[Morgan's Raider]

Don't seen like a real bright thing to do right there at the gates of Fort Bragg -- almost as smart as the 35 anti-Bush protesters who decided to march on Daytona Speedway yesterday.

When is the Million Mom's March? Why does this date ring a very large bell?

[dixie sass]

Heads up everyone!

[ChadGore]

We won the war in Iraq. It's over. Someone send these dolts a fax.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

BUMP...

[45semi]

Seems it didnt go off as planned, or not enough people showed up...
If it had, you would have seen something -HERE-.
Look in the "National Politics" section, and you will see a group of hateful leftist frothing-at-the-mouth types like you have yet to see before.
Funny how they live here in Fayette-nam...

ping to you, bigg hurtt. Pass the word along up that way, and down NC way, too. The lefties plan some psy-war on military families in Ft. Bragg area, but FReepers will be there to greet 'em. Road trip!
