This doesn't sound to me like FReepers, at all.

Pleasse, people. The only people who read the LA Weekly or OC Weekly are college students looking for "massages" or the local party scene. Politics run left of Marx in the Weekly.

Is the LA Weekly one of those free fliers that get piled up at grocery stores?

Wait a minute. That was actually a pretty fair and balanced article--and the Bolsheviks came out looking pretty stupid.

Good article.

Seconded. Do any Freepers remember talking to this guy?

Blaise Bon Pane??????? My Lord is he still alive?

Listen Bon Pane is a former 60's radical Marxist and SDS shill. I seem to remember that he is a defrocked priest who defected to Latin American revolutionaries and then fled to California. When I was running sources in the SDS in SoCal he popped up a lot in many of the debriefs. This is a guy who should be stuffed and mounted somewhere and used to scare children.

I don't have any of the files since the Feebs got very twitchy about our/my networks and had some of their people with bad breath and worse suits pick 'em all up. Note: the 115th MI Grp. had nothing to do with this operation.

I think this sounds like a fairly well-balanced article; nowhere in there does the writer try to make the Right look or sound like a bunch of kooks.

He's just reporting, which is all we should ask for.

Seems he's been resurrected as a watermelon man...

If you pause for a moment and try to evaluate or even understand what this writer is referring to by "Bonpane's cool logic," you will realize that this piece is neither cool nor logical, nor even coherent.

Thank you for posting this L.A. Weekly article.
I remember talking to their reporter...
...and I remember introducing him to Genevieve.
Overall, it seems that his report was fairly accurate, considering his perspective. ;)
Bottom line: OUR rally dominated his coverage, not the RAT's "anti-Bush" rally.
I consider THAT to be a success. :o)

There were about a DOZEN FReepers present, out of about FIVE HUNDRED pro-Bush "not-yet-FReepers."
(And about five hundred "bad guys.")
Which part of this rally sounds "un-FReeper"-like?

Good article.

That's what I was thinking, especially from the LA Weekly.

If taken from the idea that this was the Left mocking us, I can see your point.

But, were there actually any FReepers there acting like this?

What I am suggesting is that an article this biased and incoherent is not going to give an accurate picture of anything. So it could not possibly help make such an assessment except to suggest that it is more likely than not, given such biased incoherence, that none did.
