TGSL here... it was a long and very busy day. Started off very cold on the shady side of the National Archives building - but we had multiple bullhorns, which we put to good use as soon as the Pinkos started gathering a crowd at the Navy Memorial.

They had hung "pink slips" from the trees in the memorial park as well as banners on many surfaces in the park.

We chanted many things - Code Pink Kills - something about Hanoi Jane (I can't remember, brain tired). Our chanting was heard by the pinkos at their stage, and it upset them enough that they complained to the Park Police that we were too loud.

Too bad.

We had one MOAB that we recycled from when the lefties' marched at Arlington Cemetery -

Go To Hell Traitors
You Dishonor Our Dead
On Hallowed Ground

And we had this:

We had former Vietnam POW, Mike Benge stop by to offer his opinion of Jane Fonda...

And we had a wounded Iraq vet who also joined us (at the Navy Memorial as well as later in Upper Senate Park). Here's a teaser shot of him:

Much more happened at the park, along the lefties' march route. I've got video but it will take several days for me to upload it. We had a bunch of wounded soldiers from Walter Reed join us there. (I hope the lazy local Freepers and other conservatives who "couldn't be bothered" feel a twang of guilt that wounded soldiers had to stand in their stead on the streets of the US, too.) Quite a few of the lefties treated them pretty crappy - on camera. More later.

That'll have to hold me : ) Thanks! I'll be a good girl and wait patiently for the rest of the details.

Thank you {{{{{{{{{{{{{takoma}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Great pictures, tgslTakoma.

I am very happy to hear that some of the troops from Walter Reed made it...

Thank you, and all Freepers and troops for representing ALL of us that know the necessity of the war, and most of all, the necessity of total support of the troops and their mission.

I am sorry to hear that a lot of people did not show up for our side.....too bad.....I know that I and a lot of other Freepers wish we lived closer so we could help protest these traitors. I trulu appreciate all that you and all the DC Freepers do for us.

"Bitch" is a very good word for her.

Well done and thank you for your service.

[Tennessee Nana]

Thank you for your great pics and commentary. Sorry I dont live closer. Would have been there.

Is that Joshua? Yes, I think that is him. What a great smile he is sporting. I will look forward to more of this report. Thanks so much.

Oooo...that Jane Fonda sign and hung effigy may seem over the top for some. But since we're talking about that traitor bitch Jane Fonda, it was appropriate.

Hey! Thanks for giving everyone a sneak preview despite the fatigue you must feel. You are the best!

A huge Thank You to Takoma and Kristinn for organizing and handling logistics for our counter-rally! You two did a great job, and I look forward to seeing your video. Takoma speaks the truth about how the lefties abused Joshua and other vets who were with us, and I know because I was right there less than 10 feet away from Joshua when some of it occured. I've countered several of these anti-war protests, and will say that this one was the nastiest. Unfortunately, some of this was brought on because in my opinion the DC police didn't do their usual good job of enforcing a barrier between lefties and Freepers. Several of the lefties at the big march got mixed in among us which is a problem waiting to happen. Several times tempers flared, and I'm just glad it never erupted into anything worse. Bty, I've got my post on the day's events up over at The Redhunter. I've got a full report and photos. Enjoy!

This sort of prop causes fence-sitters to be repulsed at the right-wing message. It's counter-productive.

At best, it serves as therapy for our side ("Oh, it feels so good to vent."). Is that your goal, to reduce our counter-protests to personal therapy sessions...or is your goal to make our right-wing message popular enough to win back Congress and help our great nation?
