The local paper covered General Franks speech. Unfortunately, while part of the article dealt fairly with him, it included two paragraphs about the protesters and what looked suspiciously like material from an anti-Franks pamphlet.
Not a word about the eight of us which made me wonder if the reporter even bothered to come outside or just wrote directly from the protesters press release.
We were pretty hard to miss!

THE GOOD GUYS!
GeorgeW23225 hasn't stopped smiling since Nov. 2nd!"
A Protest Warrior who joined us. He's a 20 yr. Navy vet. Submarines no less!!!
Her first FReep, our young friend is the proud daughter of a Navy man.
Helmut113 and automike hold the line for Tommy.
The young lady's sign says "We apologize for our generation.", the young man's sign says "We support Operation Iraqi Freedom". They are VCU students who were disgusted by the protesters and came to lend a hand.
THE BAD GUYS
Four years of college and $60,000 later he still has nothing to write home about.
I had to post this one because the guy on the left has the biggest mouth I have ever seen in my life!

We had a great time. I wish you could have been there too! Maybe we'll meet up again in Norfolk one of these days.
To: Trteamer
Most of the crowd had to walk by us first so we would wish them a good evening, ask them to give our best to Tommy and to hold their noses when they got to the entrance.
One of Richmond's perennial panhandlers was there too, spouting about how Bush masterminded 911 but most of the anarchists were young ones. Fresh meat for the brown shirt brigade who organized them.
To: BillF
Aw, I'll bet you were busy polishing your dancing shoes for the FReeper Ball!
Seriously, you DC FReepers deserve a long rest, a good party and a commendation from W for all you've done these past months.

The Dark Side has posted a report on Richmond Indymedia. Here are a few hilarious excerpts.
Quotes from the protesters: "...Hoisting a banner reading, End the occupations,
the protest was not well-received by attendees of the Franks event...."
"....Many a thumbs-down peppered with a few middle- finger salutes were given to the protesters." (Editorial comment by Flora,
they are referrring to people entering the theatre, not FReepers)
..."Get a job! You lost! End the occupations of what? were shouted at the group...."
"One person who was entering the Landmark shouted, Why dont you shout in Arabic? Its what they do over there!...."
"...A small cluster of 8 counter demonstrators greeted the Landmark patrons. Waving U.S.flags and holding signs of Straight Girls Heart Men in Uniform, the group applauded entrants..."
And saving the best quote for last:
" "...As she was about to go into the theater, one woman shouted Stop this! My son is over there! at the protests and proceeded to slap two of the protesters."
end of quotes from the Dark Side
IT WAS A GOOD NIGHT TO BE A FREEPER IN VIRGINIA!

Wonderful!
How perfect. Wonder if there are 2 fools out there,
wondering what hit them.

Great report on a great job, Flora!
Send my thanks to the Richmond Freepers, for sticking up for the good guys - and standing against the loony left.
To: Flora McDonald
