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!"
Also, many union thugs are well armed.
The leftists know, from decades of experience, that the only way in which they can get their ideas and policies implemented throughout a given nation is by force. Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Che, all leftists with a violent streak.
Oh my...the Hillary 08 shirt features a Red Star.
Could they make things any easier for us?
Hey, fanfan! Mega new 24/7 subscriber dittoes!
I don't know this for sure, so don't quote me...but I think it is a reference to the opinion that many of the "mainstream media" types have of Rush, that he just preaches to the choir, and his listeners are just a bunch of mind-numbed robots who get their marching orders from a...well, you fill in the blank.
And since they all agree (anyone who thinks that doesn't listen to the show), they all effectively say "ditto" ("right", or "I agree with that"). So Rush's fans took it as a badge of honor, which either got its cue from, or gave a cue to, Rush. Hence the "Dittocam", the "Dittoheads", etc.
Enjoy the experience! BTW, you should try the podcasting thing. He has much more "on the pod" than just a month's backlog of shows, and now that portable CD players and car stereos are available to play MP3 files, you can literally create a "Limbaugh Library", with months' worth of shows on one CD.
You got that right!!!
"what would happen if FReepers shouted "Hillary should be shot"?
It would be BREAKING NEWS on all the networks, wall-to-wall coverage on CNN and MSNBC, top story in tomorrow's newspapers, followed by Nancy Pelosi calling for a Congressional resolution condemning Free Republic.
Other than that, not much reaction.
It didn't even occur to me until reading this thread today that the lady mentioned in the story was Angelwood. She was nice enough to mail me a copy of the Washington Times back when we did the Clinton Impeachment ad.
I wonder if they sell men's clothes where he bought that tie?
From what I've seen of liberals trying to show how "evil" guns are, they're more likely to shoot themselves or their allies than anyone they're actually intending to shoot.
Hmmm, is this a HATE CRIME I wonder???
leftists are such nice, peaceful, tolerant folk, aren't they Kristinn?
I do hope y'all on the street-freeps watch your backs.
yeah, really - the less kind aspects of my personality are licking their chops in anticipation of Leftist-initiated fatal stupidity.
rmember what I said about college snots, commisars, and cannon-fodder?
I have several replies, and most of them are 9MM.
Looks like the same one Michael Moore was wearing.
Stop worrying about CW2 and just be prepared for it.
I don't like the idea anymore than you do, but it's coming.
New Orleans is a foretaste of what it will be like.
It was Bob...something....Kneel and Bob?
I should be shot for that. better use a silver bullet though.
