I believe the 40 or so Bush supporters at the Democrat's "Unity Day" Shawn Macomber saw were organized by the D.C. chapter of Free Republic of the FreeRepublic.com website.
The head of the chapter wrote a thread on the site of their efforts and the harassment they received from the Democrat supporters.
At one point they were told they had to move by someone they weren't sure was a Police officer or just hired security. The reason? He told them that they were inciting violence. When asked how, the man with the gun said because they were agitating the Democrat supporters across the street.
Gee, by those standards I must really agitate them by driving around with a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker on my car. I guess it will be my fault if someone decides to ram my vehicle.
Fortunately, the Freepers didn't budge. Ah, the never ending stories of the Democrats and how they protect free speech. -- Greg Barnard Franklin, Tennessee

I love reading about the petulant, full-diaper whining from the Dims, when their own tactics are used against them.

Thank you for the proper use of "Democrat". It's not a "Democratic" fundraiser as the people in print and voice media like to say, it's a democrat fundraiser, democrat candidate, democrat policy, democrat politician......and so on.
Slowly now I've seen several outlets begin to correct their use of the word.
My daughter says they like to say "Democratic so and so", because it's a bigger word and sounds more substanative.

Thanks for posting this and for the ping. Unfortunately, the author of the letter has confused the George Washington University scrum between Bush supporters and Dean/Kerry supporters (which the article he is responding to was about) with the D.C. Chapter's freep that evening of the Rats Unity Dinner. Other than that, it's a great letter!

I have been saying "democrat" for a LONG time when referring to them. I absolutely refuse to refer to them in the sense of 'democratic', because they are SOCIALISTS at best, and SATANISTS at worst. The democrat party MUST be ABOLISHED and replaced with another party before they get us all killed.

someone they weren't sure was a Police officer or just hired security A favorite dem trick. They did that when we FReeped Algore in Milwaukee. A guy in a suit with a wire in his ear attempted to intimidate us. Ignore anyone without a badge or ID.

My argument on the misuse of the word "Democratic", when "Democrat" is correct is grammar based and not ideology based.
There are good domocrats and mostly bad democrats. Most the good ones are either dead, retired, or cast aside by their party in favor of idiots with no intellect or morals.
There are quite a few republicans who are no better as well.
Some democrats on my democrat honor roll are, William Casey Senior, Sam Nunn, Moynihan, and aside from her jihad on fetuses, Patsy Schroeder had her few good points. Let's not forget Zell Miller, Ed Koch, and the blue collar democrats of the 50's and 60's.

Or have your own "security" people, each augmented with a camera operator. Ideally, have a lawyer in the group. Dress the security teams in identical shirts if possible.
