Poor John Kerry.For the record...Ever since the Swift Boat Veterans started talking about the "Girlie-Manchurian" Candidate's REAL record in Vietnam, it appears that the Botox Boy cannot even sneak into a formerly "safe" hard left enclave like Santa Monica without having to face crowds of protesters who insist on sharing their opinion that he is "Unfit for Command."
On Thursday, August 26, when Senator Kerry's entourage arrived at the swanky Fairmont Miramar Hotel in this rent-controlled beach community just outside Los Angeles for a "secret" $5,000/plate fundraiser with Tony Bennett and his "Limousine Liberal" buddies from "La La Land," they were greeted by members of the Hollywood Resistance Force (a.k.a. the L.A. Chapter of the Free Republic Network) - and a few of our FRiends.

As many of you know, that poster required the efforts of TWO very talented FReepers!
Check our THIS thread for details of how it was originally created:Linda Eddy (aka FReeper IPWGOP) created the original artwork:President Bush in Santa Monica:
THURSDAY (8/12) -
"Support Our Troops" rally 3pm to 5pm
And then FReeper doodlelady used that image as the basis for creating HER marvelous sign:
Great job Dawg!

`Flipper' video tweaking Kerry won't be a flop

`Flipper' video tweaking Kerry won't be a flop
John Kass Chicago Tribune
July 29, 2004BOSTON -- "They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning/No one you see, is smarter than he/And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder/Flying there under, under the sea!"The last time I heard that joyous theme to the old TV show "Flipper"--about the smart-alecky dolphin and his boy, Bud--I was a kid, walking back to school after a lunch of grilled cheese and Campbell's cream of tomato soup.
But there it was again Wednesday, during the airing of a humorous Republican documentary on John Kerry's flip-flopping on Iraq as he angled for the Democratic nomination.
The Republican timing couldn't have been better, since Kerry makes his own important speech at the Democratic Convention here Thursday night and must convince voters he's decisive on national security, an issue that Democrats acknowledge has been their weak point for years.
The 11-minute Republican video was e-mailed to about 8 million voters on Wednesday. You can judge for yourself and see it at www.DemsExtremeMakeover.com. It uses Kerry's own words, from his own mouth, in TV interviews to highlight his evolution. It shows how Kerry changed course to appeal to his party's political Left as he outflanked Howard Dean.
It is devastating. And, even worse for Kerry, it is funny. A roomful of reporters cracked up when we heard the "Flipper" theme. So expect to hear the song over the course of the campaign...

Kerry's Kurtz Chronicles continue
Posted: August 18, 2004
1:00 a.m. Eastern

Last week, John Kerry recanted the detailed and emotional story of his Christmas Eve, 1968, illegal mission into Cambodia that he has been telling for 30 years, most notably in a movie review of "Apocalypse Now" that he wrote for the Boston Herald on Oct. 14, 1979, in a statement on the floor of the Senate on March 27,1986, and in an AP story from 1992.
Faced with mounting evidence that this brazen fabrication was crumbling, Kerry spokesmen acknowledged that Kerry wasn't in Cambodia on Christmas Eve, 1968, but hung tough on Kerry's having been across the border on several occasions in early 1969. Here is the statement released by the Kerry campaign midweek:
During John Kerry's service in Vietnam, many times he was on or near the Cambodian border and on one occasion crossed into Cambodia at the request of members of a special operations group operating out of Ha Tien.
On Dec. 24, 1968, Lieutenant John Kerry and his crew were on patrol in the watery borders between Vietnam and Cambodia deep in enemy territory. In the early afternoon, Kerry's boat, PCF-44, was at Sa Dec and then headed north to the Cambodian border. There, Kerry and his crew along with two other boats were ambushed, taking fire from both sides of the river, and after the firefight were fired upon again. Later that evening during their night patrol they came under friendly fire.
It is an acknowledged fact that Swift Boat crews regularly operated along the Cambodian border from Ha Tien on the Gulf of Thailand to the rivers of the Mekong south and west of Saigon. Boats often received fire from enemy taking sanctuary across the border. Kerry's was not the only United States riverboat to respond and inadvertently or responsibly cross the border. In fact, it was this reality that lead President Nixon to later invade Cambodia itself in 1970.
The odd part of this statement is the "inadvertently" adverb. Kerry's never stressed any accidental crossings of the Vietnam-Cambodia border. He's always been on secret though illegal missions, including one that he spoke of in June 2003 to Washington Post reporter Laura Blumenfeld in which he produced his magic hat:
A close associate hints: There's a secret compartment in Kerry's briefcase. He carries the black attache everywhere. Asked about it on several occasions, Kerry brushed it aside. Finally, trapped in an interview, he exhaled and clicked open his case.
"Who told you?" he demanded as he reached inside. "My friends don't know about this."
The hat was a little mildewy. The green camouflage was fading, the seams fraying.
"My good luck hat," Kerry said, happy to see it. "Given to me by a CIA guy as we went in for a special mission in Cambodia."
Kerry put on the hat, pulling the brim over his forehead. His blue button-down shirt and tie clashed with the camouflage. He pointed his finger and raised his thumb, creating an imaginary gun. He looked silly, yet suddenly his campaign message was clear: Citizen-soldier. Linking patriotism to public service. It wasn't complex after all; it was Kerry.
He smiled and aimed his finger: "Pow."

Kerry to stump in Bay Area today amid Vietnam clamorLOL!

Santa Monica -- John Kerry rolled into Democrat-friendly California on Thursday night, raising money and meeting with Hollywood supporters on a last campaign trip before next week's Republican convention.
Kerry's western swing took him to a Santa Monica fund-raiser Thursday and will bring him to San Francisco and Daly City today as he scrambled to deal with attacks on his military record in Vietnam...
-- snip --
...Kerry's dinner in Santa Monica drew the Democratic faithful. They were met by a handful of protesters who held a brief demonstration in front of the hotel, the Fairmont Miramar.For 20 minutes or so, a couple of dozen protesters gathered across the street from the hotel. One wore a Flipper costume, complaining about Kerry's alleged flip-flops on some issues, and another wore a Grinch outfit, complete with a lime green mask, criticizing Kerry's claim to have been in Cambodia at one point during his tour of duty as a highly decorated naval officer during the Vietnam War.
Inside the hotel, singer Tony Bennett was the featured entertainment for the few hundred supporters who paid $5,000 a plate to hear Kerry speak in a modest-sized ballroom. Some of the stars who showed up included Anjelica Huston and her husband, the sculptor Robert Graham.
Some people in the audience were worried about Kerry's campaign...

In spite of their attempted SPIN, apparently our little "street theater" DID get through to the Kerry RATs inside. :o)As President Bush might say:
"Mission ACCOMPLISHED!"

WooHOOOO!!! Great Photos and a Great job!!!

FREEP REPORT: FReepers defend America's honor from leftist scum in Santa Monica ^ | August 16, 2004 | RonDog [and FRiends]

Last Thursday afternoon, HUNDREDS of happy, smiling, flag-waving patriotic Americans gathered outside a "private, secret" fundraiser at the Santa Monica airport to welcome President Bush back to Los Angeles, for his first visit to southern California since March 2004.Two very highly repected sources independently calculated that over FIFTEEN HUNDRED people overwhelmed the intersection of 31st Street and Ocean Park Boulevard in Santa Monica, just north of the hanger in which President Bush, Laura Bush and Governor Schwarzenegger appeared at a private fundraiser which had not been widely publicized until a few days before the event -- with the crowd outside roughly divided into half pro-Bush and half anti-Bush.
On a Thursday afternoon.
In Santa Monica...-- snip --
"Lonestar" Jesse with his cowboy hat and bullhorn...Our corner had the benefit of a five foot tall transformer box......which could be used as a "soap box," as it were......for the folks on OUR side to stand on......so that they could TOWER over the crowd...Here are a few of the "natural leaders" who assumed command of that platform:...and intimidate the "bad guys."
