You probably don't want to hear this from me, but a counter protest is the dumbest possible thing that Conservatives could do. First, there is no way to bring out the numbers anywhere near that of the illegals, and the media would make great hay with the comparison. Second, you can be sure that any Conservative protest would be met with people who's sole mission would be to cause disruption and possible violence, further discrediting your mission. You can count on people dressed as KKK members coming to 'support' your rally. The Republican party would never recover from it. I hope those planning border security rallies will take note and knock it off, because it is a recipe for disaster. Be smart and take your battle to the ballot box, don't put yourself in front of the media as a target for however they wish to display you. It is a bad, bad idea.

Thanks for your "vote of confidence." /s

People often try to cause disruption at rallies. We've had impostors show up and try to make us look bad. They only make themselves look bad.

It is important to get out there and make a showing. Keyboard patriotism is nice, but doesn't cut the mustard. 'Pod.

I would go lightly with that 'keyboard patriotism' crack. You don't know me. But a counter protest on this issue is a HUGE mistake. Huge. I hope calmer minds prevail, because you will really damage your own cause.
