Hillary Now Leader at MoveOn White House Protest: "Freepers Should be Shot"

Byron York of The National Review had a great article yesterday about the devolution of the MoveOn Katrina Victims protest at the White House.

Dana Milbank of the Washington Post also wrote about MoveOn's troubled demonstration.

However, apparently both these fine observers of the scene had departed when the worst part of the MoveOn protest happened.

As Angelwood and I stood talking and debating with malingering MoveOn protesters, a man standing about twenty or thirty feet away from us was giving an interview with an independent D.C. journalist.

I recognized the man as a long time liberal activist from Florida whom we had first met during the build up to the impeachment of President Clinton.

Then, he was defending Bill Clinton, now he's trying to draft his wife Hillary to run for president herself.

It took a while for the man's name to come to mind. It was Bob...something.

As he was giving the interview, the man became agitated and started speaking in a loud voice. He welled up into a tirade and blurted out, "FReepers should be shot!"

I was looking at him as he said this, as his loud voice was naturally drawing the attention of those within ever-growing earshot as his decibel level grew.

Knowing he was out on the political hustings and has been on TV shows and been quoted many times in the press, I asked him if he had just said that we (Freepers) should be shot . I thought maybe he'd take it back and try to excuse himself for being so worked up.

But no, he responded, "Yes, you should be shot!"

He walked away after that. The police did nothing.

Angelwood and I left soon after. The man's name finally came to me. Bob Kunst, president of Hillary Now.

I suppose he's lucky the TV cameras were long gone by then. But there is an audiotape. There was a microphone right in his face when he yelled out, "Freepers should be shot!"

LMAO! Seriously, we must be doing something right for a "fellow traveler" to get caught like that.

Hey Bob? I'm 100% Irish. Go ahead and make our day. We're genetically conditioned to deal with people like you. Don't need no stinkin gun....

(It would be so sweet if that guy was lurking and reading this thread)

Best to stay armed around these people. The 3rd American Revolution is quickly becoming a reality.

Spank my butt and call me Charlie.

Freepers are inside the leftists' OODA Loop.

I wonder if we can get an audio (wav) file of that and post it on the front page of FR for downloading to out local computers?
It would come in handy in so many ways!
I was thinking to use it as one of my Windows event sounds (Like "error"??)

The liberals and leftists in America are fast approaching a nervous breakdown.
What do you mean, approaching??

[AMERIKA]

"That's quite a testimony to the effectiveness of Free Republic."

My thoughts EXACTLY. If he didn't percieve us as a threat (he has no idea how much a threat) he wouldn't have uttered this comment.

[Publius6961]

Why are the "fruit loop" perverts always the backbone of these "protest" groups?

Tells me all I need to know.

[John Lenin]

violent leftist bump

[oldbrowser]

"Freepers should be shot!"

I'll take that as a complement.

I must be slow today: I love Hillary tree note?

G'mornin', cajungirl. Thanks for the note. When I woke up this morning and realized to what extent the MSM and fascist 'rat party would go to convert out nation into a fascist state, I'm not so sure it would not be a festive occasion.

[andy58-in-nh]

I do too. But now you owe me a keyboard.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Hey Charlie, "Erin Go Bragh"!

I was thinking with a peashooter. Smoke from gun powder might cause global warming. ;-)

Remember that a liberal icon, to this very day, is Che Guevara, who organized and carried out 100s of firing squad executions for Castro.

I think most of the horrors of the first year or two of Castro's "glorious" revolution have been swept into the memory hole. Not to say that horrors don't continue but we no longer hear [public] cries of "to the wall!" as we did back then, although his prisons are still full of political prisoners and dissenters, and executions probably continue, but quietly.

Younger Freepers would do well to remember that the first goal of totalitarian regimes when they gain power is to literally destroy the opposition. They do it with prisons, torture chambers, mental "hospitals" and executions. Most of the executions are private affairs: a quick bullet to the brain, a favorite method of the KGB in the bowels of Treblinka Prison; or a quick, quiet mass execution like that of the Czar's family after Lenin's victory.

Castro and various other Marxist regimes including modern radicalized American Democrats, are direct descendants of Soviet totalitarianism. You bet they want to destroy Freepers and any others who threaten their vision of Absolute Power.

Refer back to #8 (the post I was replying to.) Apply what he says there to you-know-who, and realize that the picture of the note means "music". If you can't figure it out from there, I can't help you further. LOL

[andy58-in-nh]

I did get it, thank you. And it was worth the effort:). I think that staying up until 1:30am to watch football last night has slowed me up a bit today.

[Matchett-PI]

You're excused. LOL
