This was a lot of fun. I sure wish more H.O.T. members could meet with us. This report should be my notes as secretary today.

I put on the burka and used a sharpie made my finger purple. I taped a picture of an Iraqi woman voter showing her purple finger to the back of a foam yellow smiley face. I thought they needed to smile and be happier and I WAS RIGHT!

I would like to say that we just met the most articulate, well groomed, well dressed, well mannered gentlemen that I have met in a long time. I would like to say that, But I can't say that because these people were really foul, really smelly, in your face and well ... pretty disgusting.

When we arrived at our little triangle patch of grass under a HUGE budding oak tree, there were some people across the street on the bleachers and others setting up the stage. The main body of unwashed were marching down the street from wherever they hooked up.

We had a pretty good turnout up here in Southeastern MI. today ,despite the cold temps & freezing rain. Queenkathy's husband took photos and is also currently in the process of uploading them to the website. We had 10-15 "Freepers" out there in liberal Adrain, MI. We even had 3 kids with us [I had my 2 with me] the folks driving by honked & waved at us and were basically responded very well to us. Quennkathy will give futhere details when she comes online!

SEMPER FI ALL!!

Thanks for the initial report. The news on KLBJ mentioned protesters on both sides. That's about all they said. I was hoping to hear one of you make a salient point on air. But at least they said you were there. Will check back for pictures later.

The Black Flag Roaches were pretty annoying. They did their best to provoke us: verbally threatening us; moving their flags right in our faces; nasty cursing; bumping into us.

I finally just stepped in front of them and that pissed them off, but I was right at the curb. It was nice when the police finally pushed them back. I finally got tired of one of the dweebs blowing his smoke in my face and moved sown to the end since they were limited on their range.

Woo Hoo that was fun today! Great to meet some fellow FReepers too!

The "black flag" creeps were definitely trying to start something, and I think they were trying to provoke US into being the first ones to get into a scuffle. As The Bat Lady explained earlier, they had a long pole (horizontally) with blag cloths hanging off of them, and they used that ensemble to try to block our signs. They kept fumbling around with the pole and several times I was certain they were trying to "accidentally on purpose" hit me with the end of the pole!

Also, I think they tried to push/bump one of our guys off the curb and into the street. Maybe others can elaborate on that one. I saw part of it, but not enough to give a good description.

One dweebus-looking guy (DrewsDad knows who I'm talking about!) at one point crawled under my sign and then bumped it with his shoulders. I told him to get lost and he said, "Are you threatening me?" LOL. I said, "No, I'm telling you to get out of the space where my sign is!" He then said, "You assaulted me with your sign!" Of course, I told him that he hit my sign with his ridiculous antics, not the the other way around. He gave up that attempt.

Oh, and I can't forget to mention the Code Pink "cheerleaders." What a horrid display that was! A group of about 5 of them did cheerleading chants and dances, ALWAYS ending them with all of them flipping the bird with both hands!

These same Code Pink wierdos saw a Hummer drive by and screamed like shrews, "F You! F You! F You!" and then flipped the occupants of the Hummer off with both hands. (Of course they didn't say "F", they said the whole word.) They had their faces all contorted in hate too.

I know I'm forgetting some stuff, but thought I'd post this for now.

Outstanding FReep, report, and photos.

Interesting story about the limited vocabulary guy. Calls you homophobes, then calls one of you gay.

Below is a link to my report on FReeping at Fayetteville, NC. It includes photos and sound files of Doctor Raoul's speech, an assault on a FReeper, and numerous close-up exchanges with leftists. Code Pinko leaders Medea Benjamin and Gael Murphy were there in person, but did not like tgslTakoma's huge, bill-board size banner saying "CODE PINK KILLS / AMERICAN TROOPS / GIVING $ 2 TERRORISTS." Benjamin talked with another FReeper.

Ten DC Chapter members traveled over 300 miles for that FReep when ANSWER cancelled their plans for a DC event, probably in part because we always step on their media message when they show in DC.

Today we met in Fayetteville, NC to Freep a motley rabble of socialists, anarchists, Code Pink-os, and other throwbacks to the 60's! As usual, we were well outnumbered by their hordes of college students, aging hippies and other bused-in protestors, but we held our own as always.

Having finally sorted out my photos and sound files (including short sound bites of Doctor Raoul's speech, the assault on Bert, and numerous exchanges with the leftists), here are my observations on the FReep in Fayetteville on March 19.
