Saddam, Flipper FReep Kerry/Streisand Fundraiser in L.A. [PICTURES] (6/24)

John Kerry had a major fundraiser dinner this Thursday in Los Angeles; Kerry and friends, Neil Diamond, Barbara Streisand, and others met at the Walt Disney Concert hall, where they hosted an event for which tickets ranged from $2,000 to $25,000. This was of course, a great chance to show Mr. Kerry that not all Californians support him, and that when he comes here he’s sure to encounter some resistant. As it has become almost a tradition around here, Kerry’s presence brought on a grandiose demonstration of the FReeping abilities of us Californians.

This amazing demonstration was organized by our ferocious leader RonDog; the FReep went without a hitch. There were about 30 of us, the most notable were of course Saddam (played by RonDog), and Flipper the dolphin. Another highlight of the FReep was a pick-up truck adorned by several conservative messages, e.g. “Kerry is Unfit”; and a group of pro-lifers not far from where we were standing (and they had HUGE signs).

The media was everywhere, and they did several interviews. We all know that the most important thing in every FReep is to get our message heard as loud and clear as possible; and from this point of view this was clearly a success. One of the major advantages we had during this demonstration was the location; the Walt Disney Music Hall is one of the most dazzling buildings in Downtown L.A. and being across the street from such a place gave us a chance to sort of “cut in”. We made a lot of heads turn, and as usual we also made a lot of middle fingers rise. All together, this was everything you’d want a FReep to be like.

WHO IS THAT PERSON WITH THE "GO HOME KERRY" SIGN?

HOW DARE YOU! We in Massachusetts (those of us with half a brain, that is - wait a second, somehow that just doesn't sound right) have had ENOUGH of Kerry. We really need to catch our breath and SHARE him with the rest of the country (and the world's rogue leaders, and terrorists, too!). (sarcasm)

We may very well be in for a 4-year or an 8-year round of Kerry-nomics and the days of whine and neuroses. But at least the DHIMMICRATS may mellow out a bit and stop popping and frying so many neurons as they have been lately.

Special thanks to Linda Eddy (aka FReeper IPWGOP) for creating THIS marvelous image...

Many thanks also to doodlelady for transferring it onto a HUGE "FReep-ready" poster:

(Holding that wonderful poster are not-yet-FReeper Howard K. [with the NRA] and doodlelady,
both of whose faces are discreetly HIDDEN behind the sign. RonDog is wearing the Saddam mask.)

HERE are a few short excerpts from the report published in [vast right-wing] Los Angeles Times:

THE RACE TO THE WHITE HOUSE
Big Stars Play Supporting Role to Kerry

Top-name entertainers and industry players pack a gala that raises $5million for the Democrat. Earlier stops in north rake it in too.
By Matea Gold and Geoff Boucher, Times Staff Writers
Sen. John F. Kerry scooped up $5 million for his presidential bid in a lavish gala in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday night that featured an array of Hollywood heavy hitters who took center stage in calling for President Bush's defeat.

The Democratic presidential hopeful was feted by entertainers such as Barbra Streisand, Billy Crystal and Willie Nelson at a two-hour program before 2,000 donors at Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Though Streisand and Nelson represent longtime liberal voices from the music industry, a parade of younger Hollywood celebrities was on hand as well, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Jamie Foxx and Ben Stiller lending their names and time to Kerry's candidacy.

At a pre-show dinner in an airy foyer of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, where top donors dined on shrimp and filet mignon, Kerry embraced Streisand and glad-handed a roster of political and entertainment heavyweights: actor Robert De Niro, producer Harvey Weinstein, former California Gov. Gray Davis, City Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa and mayoral candidate Bob Hertzberg...

Streisand performed her 1964 hit "People," but with new lyrics: "Rumsfeld, we must get rid of Rumsfeld/He's the spookiest person in the world…. This war we're lost in/Don't ask what it's costing/What's a trillion or two to rule the world?"

Across the street from Disney Hall, a cluster of Bush supporters toted signs with slogans such as "Kerry is not Catholic." Some of the 50 or so demonstrators held inflatable dolphins, with one of the supporters dressed as Flipper, in a jab at Kerry's reputation among Republicans as flip-flopping on issues...
