There is a link to the newspaper article about this rally in the post immediately preceding this one. I did it as a practice to make sure it would come through okay. There are also other pictures that are linked to the article. Most of the pics are of the Moonies. That's just par for the course with the paper here.

I rent so I didn't want to use spray paint inside.

Not to mention that inhaling paint fumes would make you loopy - and then you might have accidentally joined the wrong crowd.

That's a good article in the Fayetteville paper, dstarr. You all did good!

Are you coming up to DC next weekend? We need "veteran rallyers" like you up here.

...her conversations with pro-war people sometimes made them understand that activists like her are unlike Vietnam-era protesters who derided servicemen.

What a bold faced lie! They have the same goal, demoralize the soldiers, demoralize the country, demorize those who support the troops.

Thank you for showing up. This witch in the ditch needs to be protested at EVERY stop. Our message is getting out also....not just theirs.

I agree that the boots should not have been taken, but neither should the other stuff. However, it's not clear to me that it necessarily was a pro-Iraq liberation person who took them.

In DC, we've had leftists try to infilitrate our FReeper group with "Kill the Poor" signs. (We have photo and audio proofs.) Then, the Pinkos claim that the inappropriate signs on their side were held by infilitrators, implying us, but we produce photos showing that one of their protest leaders was holding the objectionable "Maimed for a Lie" sign. (Thus, they falsely accused us of doing what they did.)

Code Pink and other leftists have commited numerous other dirty tricks within our knowledge. We've seen Code Pinkos attach their signs and banners to a person's car, without permission, when he was in Walter Reed. They repeatedly and illegally attach their signs to the WR fence, military property where such political signs are prohibited.

Thus, although it's possible that some over-zealous and misbehaving yahoo on the pro-America side stole the boots and other items, it's also quite possible that leftists did it for the publicity and to discredit the pro-America side.

Fayetteville paper headline:

Iraq war divides protesters at Market House

Do you see what has happened? We have turned a corner in our counterprotesting. We are now considered "equals" that are dueling or divided. We used to get a mention as a few counter protestors, but now our presence is so well established that we have become one side of the "dueling protestors".

We should have a celebration!

I had to tell them he was one of us. "Read his sign carefully."

We Freepers have to work hard to keep the PW's from getting lynched by both sides.

Yeah. When they read his sign you could see the light bulb come on. It was one of their slogans about war has never solved anything but etc. At first I had actually thought he was one of them. I looked at his NC State cap and read his sign and new what he was about. He was a nice young fellow who was studying Turf Management and was picking up some business courses at Fayetteville State. I was going, "He's got a Protest Warrior sign. He's one of us."

I soooo much wish I could be there. I had to ask out of work today for a family reunion and have another one on Saturday the 24th. I had to arrange to get that day off too. Unfortunately, when one is a demo-lady at Sam's, one has to work just about every weekend. I knew that when I went to work there. It's not often I ask for a day off on a weekend. I've just hit them with these which unfortunately come right on top of each other. Boy, I sure do wish I could do it. I love to rabble rouse. LOL!!!!

Everybody's gone and we have to stay and watch over this stuff?

Let us pray. Dear Gaia, we pray that no one caught us pilfering the memorial. Amen.

Okay, time to "file the report".

Warms my heart to see all that was left of 'Camp Casey' was an empty tent. Such a metaphor for the protest movement.

"a poor player/ That struts and frets his hour upon the stage/ And then is heard no more. It is a tale/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,/ Signifying nothing"

Yep. But let's quit calling it "Camp Casey". It was "Camp Look-at-me-Cindy-Sheehan".

Good Point. Someone needs to tell Cindy that she's at 14:58 and ticking.
