UNFIT for Santa Monica:
Flipper, "Arnold" and The GRINCH
confront John Kerry outside a "secret" fundraiser
in the People's Republic of Santa Monica

Poor John Kerry.

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.

For the record...

Once again, a brave band of Freepers assembled in Santa Monica outside the Fairmont Miramar at the corner of Ocean and Wilshire to freep John Kerry's $5,000 a plate fundraiser. Deep in the Land of the Limousine Liberal, we attacked the beast with our coolest and most colorful signs and costumes yet!

I personally like the idea of dressing up as SANTA CLAUS...

...to his PROVEN lies about "Christmas in Cambodia" ...

Kerry visited us (Washington) yesterday. I watched the 11 o'clock news last night and they just showed a couple of meek and mild Bush supporters that showed up to protest Kerry's visit to Tacoma, and they made a point to contrast that to the tens of thousands who showed up to greet Kerry. The pictures are hilarious and I thank you for the reality check.

Great job and great pictures!

I, Jeann Le Jacquestrap Kerri, would never lie about my heroic efforts in Nam. Just look at my medals, that I didn't throw over the fence.

...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 has been the case for MANY of our recent FReeps in southern California, we were joined by quite a few "not yet FReepers" - who are not (yet) registered to post on this forum.
Some I know by name, and some I recognize from previous encounters.
Plus there ALWAYS seem to be "new faces" who heard about us from a friend, or via a forwarded e-mail.

Here is the "honor roll" for this rally - as best I can remember it.

FReepers:
doodlelady

daviddennis

Joy Angela

RonDog
FRiends:
Genevieve (and Al) from LAforBush.com

Shane Smith, Michael - and many OTHER Santa Monica College Republicans

Ryan Darby, welchguy - and many OTHER College Republicans

Ronn Pickard - my loyal strategy and tactics advisor

Foad, Frances - and OTHER Iranian-Americans

Jesse - from the recent pro-Bush rally at the Santa Monica airport (in his cowboy hat)

Susan - and her DARLING daughter Elizabeth ("Lulu")

Two lovely young pro-Bush ladies - and their wonderful pro-Bush mother

Alan, Edward, Grace, Desiree - and MANY other "first-timers" who gave me their e-mail adddresses

Martha and John - who FReeped them from INSIDE the hotel.
Plus, SPECIAL THANKS to our FReep photographers for this event:
David H. Dennis

Ari Greenwald

Michael Smith
(If I MISSED reporting your name here, please accept my apology...

Love the Arnold poster!

Thank you!
It's being recycled yet again for an event
today in Balboa Park here in San Diego
...a huge anti-war protest

Our side will be small but mighty, with Arnold there :-)

The bottom lettering now says:
REAL MEN SUPPORT OUR TROOPS

Thanks to Linda Eddy for the original concept,
and RonDog for the motivation

That poster always "breaks the face" as Seinfeld's
salesman father used to say, and whenever you can
leave em smiling, it's a win/win.
