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!"
Well said.
Typical leftist/communist way of dealing with dissent.
I've only succeeded in communicating a fraction of what I would like to say about that...it was like being liberated from a Gulag. Free at last; free at last; thank God, I'm free at last! There was a feeling of immense joy and gratitude.
That's how my husband and I feel listening to him.
It's hard to describe how happy -- and astonished -- some of us were to finally hear someone saying what we had been thinking. Thousands, or hundreds of thousands, of us thought we were the only one left who held to those beliefs, because there was no Internet and no communication with like-minded others. Many of us felt like we were the last man alive at Fort Desolation.
LOL. Now if I have to go a day without FR, or a few days without Rush, I feel like I'm stuck in Soviet Canukistan with no hope.
Your description of the media in the '80's is exactly what we still have in Canada. We also have the Canadian Broadcasting Company, (the CBC), which is taxpayer funded to the tune of $1 Billion per year, in order to feed us constant Liberal government propaganda.
We did get Fox last year, but it's only available to satellite subscribers, and digital cable subscribers.
God bless Jim Robinson, and Rush Limbaugh!
You can see how easily I made that mistake! Standing up for the President is something you would surely do, as you did.
Let's hope this lady joins in future FR events.
By the way, you're still incomparable.
Apparently, Key Biscayne was Nixon's Crawford.

"Nixon visited the home almost monthly during his presidency, making at least 50 visits over his five-year tenure."
Mr. Kunt should moveon down to LA and volunteer to be a sandbag.
Make that Kunst.
they want the gov't to do their dirty work remember?
That a Leader of the Hiliary Election campaign is threatening Freepers is an indication of how scared Hiliary's people are about being exposed and the First Lesbian Presidential Candidate. Hiliary was outed during the First Clinton Administration when friends of Hiliary all Lesbians were appointed to key positions in the New Clinton Administration. Why Hiliary cannot be truthful about her Sexual preference is a serious question about her Mental Stability along with her raging temper and fits of violence towards cuckhold husband Bill.
We need a mentally stable person not a nutjob regardless of the political party or views. Responsible governance is a key issue for voters of either party. Truthfully Democratic Operatives and media types are coming unhinged. Bill Maher in his program gave the South permission to seceede from the Union. I am getting tired of this media darling gas bag and his self proclaimed importance.
With the more insane comments those in the middle are being driven to the right by these antics and historonics. I cannot fathom what thinking people see in the Left today.
What used to motivate me to vote Democrat is that working people did better under Democratic Administrations but that is no longer true. Tax and Spend politics, entitlement mentality, war on Families and Heterosexual Men. These are the modern tenants of the Democratic Party.
As for threatening me. Hey Bob threaten me with deadly force and produce a weapon. I will kill you. Make no mistake about it. I will return fire and I will shoot to kill. Are you ready for those consequences seriously? My fear is collateral damage. An innocent would get hit by a richochet or in the cross fire. Most conservatives I know are armed and some heavily armed. Many are ex Military and know how to use Fire Arms and some have seen combat.
As usual the pontificating by extremists Left is a lot of hot air intended to frighten Freepers and their opposition. Think again Bob. You may have opened a can of worms that you are not prepared to deal with. You are an idiot. Hiliary if she has any sense will cut you loose as you are a serious liability to her campaign.
Meeting threat with equal threat.
I can see this loose lipped, out of control liberal democrat freak being hired by wanna be prez hitlery as her new craig livingstone.
Just now tho, hitlery and her trailer trash cabal are busy. You know the main cable, consisting of ira magaziner, harold ickes (moveon.org's arm just as brucie lindsey was the paid arm of billy klinton), georgie stephanopoulis, the trasher of bill's girls, ron emanuel, john podesta, james carville and ann lewis. (Who used WH facilities while there to get moveon.org going-as in move on from monica- as in bill and monica thrashing around on the floor of OUR oval office- I think about that every time I hear the name moveon.)
They are busy trying to keep the billions of dollars that will flow into LA in the aftermath of Katrina under their control. They see the light...and it is hitlery's election...and they see the EASY MONEY flowing right now...oh to CAPTURE that.
No problem if it is kept in the LA's corrupt political system, it would be like taking candy from a baby.
And I have no doubt that al gore and others are right there, seeking the control of the billions.
We already know how little the democrats think of our black population...40 plus years of democrats controlling LA and NO demonstrates that without a doubt. WITHOUT A DOUBT.
She is possible the worst potential candidate for prez ever.
Even the liberal elites that worked on her health care scheme, that Marxist freak show that denied ANY freedom to physicians and attempted to capture a huge chunk of our national budget, complete with none other than ROSS PEROT being gifted with the computer system that would run it, oh yeah, ol ROSS, have said that she should be kept as far away from the WH as it humanly possible.
Hitlery and her moveon.org group, the group that wants us to forget monica slewing around with billy and craig livingstone manning the deck, know and despise FR, not only for the immense wealth of knowledge found here, not only for the activism found here, and not only for the news discussion found here...they hate us because we were instrumental in getting that out of control creep who was president IMPEACHED. Oh yes. We were the heart of that exercise in letting billy boy know he was not above the law.
Hitlery does not forget. And she has a drive to re-write history like no other living being.
We will stop her.
So Rush went on his show and said, "BS. Know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to poll our military overseas *at my own expense* and find out if they want this show or not." (Or words to that effect.)
Truly sad.
Thank God that Rush knew the truth. He will never know what his opinions/ new analysis meant and mean to our fabulous military folks overseas.
>>Hillary should have panties placed upon her head?<<
Having seen some of the "entourage" which accompanies her {think sour, rotund, hairy-legged, Birkenstock-wearing, spiky-haired Grinell/Vassar rejects}, I doubt it would be the first time for Hitliary...
