(Admin Moderator -- please leave in Breaking News. Hannity holding up a FReeper sign is big breaking news after the recent little battle.)
===================================================
FReeper blurblogger just dropped me off a few minutes ago. We were at the 4-hour event in Redondo Beach, CA put on by the KABC talk show hosts.
When blurblogger gets home, he will be posting an amazing photo. He and I are in a picture with Sean Hannity, and Sean is holding up a sign that says I LOVE FREEPERS.
What a fun event. Doug McIntyre, Larry Elder, Al Rantel, Mr. KABC, Sean Hannity, and new overnight host Kevin James put on a great show for us. There were some sparks between McIntyre and Elder over free trade, outsourcing, and tariffs. There were also some sparks involving the lone liberal on the stage, Mr. KABC.
There were boos when DemocRATS were mentioned.
Although we disagree politically, I am going to give big kudos to the MC, Brian Whitman. Brian is indeed a lovable liberal. He was a little upset a few weeks ago when someone reported to him that I had called him a Kneepad Knight. Hey, it was in good fun. Just like Monica was literally on her kneepads, the liberals were figuratively doing the same for their guy. Brian accepted my explanation, and we are friends again.
For those who listen to Hannity on Friday afternoon, it is Brian Whitman doing the voices of Bush 41, Bush 43, Michael Jackson, and the guy who got impeached. Brian is funny as hell and is a great talent. If more libs had his talent and sense of humor, perhaps we would get along better. His Michael Jackson stuff is superb.
Blurblogger brought some sign material in his car, and got it and his magic marker at a break. We managed to eventually work our way to a front row seat and were in position to get with Hannity at a break. I introduced myself as FReeper Doug, and he asked why I haven't called in for awhile. Hey, I've tried, but the line is always busy.
Sean autographed blurblogger's I LOVE FREEPERS sign, and a guy took our picture with Sean holding it.
Look, if someone comes on this thread to bash Hannity, I am going to find you and rip your throat out. Really. Go do your own thread. Yes, Sean promotes his books. Good for him. That's capitalism, and you would promote yours if you had a book and marketing sense. I promoted my book, A CHILD'S EYE VIEW OF JOHN KERRY, by giving a few copies to them.
Sean is a great ally on our side. He exposes the left's hypocrisy, uses their own words against them, and gets in their faces. He also has helped raise millions of dollars for families of fallen warriors.
Good news for us, uncleshag. Sean is waiting for his copy of YOU'VE BEEN FREEPED, Vol. 1. So is Whitman.
By far the biggest round of applause during the evening was for a member of the audience. Captain Michael Pierce is returning to Mosul on Friday. He thought he had a month off, but they cut it two weeks short. There was a big time standing O for the captain. At the end of the program, he was called up on stage. Michael happened to be at the Hollywood FReep recently. Godspeed, Michael. Go kick some more butt and make it home safely.
Did any other FReepers attend?
Stay tuned. The picture will probably be up by about midnight.
Was your ox one of the ones that got gored that day?
We all must stick together, for indeed the Dems would love to split us apart... there is a second batch of pix up now too. Enjoy.
Many thanks for taking the time to post the pictures. I wonder if anyone from here is going to the San Diego event Thursday night?
I think we all have to be in 'attack' mode about the lies and the manipulative people who tell them. We don't have to be nasty or vindictive (but be prepared for THEM to be that way) ... all we have to do is counter, expose, demand the truth...in a nice way.
Jesus exhibited grace and truth, in that order. A noble goal for all of us.
glad to share the experience! More were posted a few minutes later, in case you went from "PJs vertical" mode to "PJs horizontal" mode (off to sleep) in between my posts (grin)
YES, We CAN all just get along! :)
BTTT!!!
LOVE your tagline! LOL.
thanks Unc! Just doing our FReepin' Duty here.....
I see!!
Great job on the completion of mission!!
That pic should would look
nice, hanging in the Canteen!
"The meek may inherit the Earth, but it is the Freepers who will kick butt!"
Can't we inherit AND kick butt? That's what they told me when I enlisted here at FR for my 'tour of duty' .... LOL
Thx, -(dub thee) .... I've pinged Rondog who can direct Capt. Pierce to this thread.
Allegra, you still in Iraq? Ping 4U whereever YOU are too, I thank you for your service and protecting America, with prayers for you and all yours.
Fatima, Rondog will help the Capt. get the message. Thank you.
Oh wait a second, no it doesn't.
Well, I'm adding it!
:0)
-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)
That,s nice.You know I say Thank you.Tears,Fatima
