LOL. I'm just glad all the Eagles are safe.

[rodguy911]

It's nice to know that the patriots out number the moonbats about 3 or 4 to 1.

[highlander_UW]

It looks like ANSWER is being bused home.

You can tell from the short buses?

[HonestConservative]

Yep. Got it all done in one trip.

[Riley]

Good report. I brought a bunch of that mud home with me. :-)

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I couldn't believe how fast CSPAN cut the aftermath coverage when every semi large group they tried to show broke up into a few people. Looked like an event that had been over for an hour.

[maica]

LOL! You just made my heart skip a beat. that's all!

[GoldwaterChick]

Thank you for being there for those of us who got zapped by the weather. It must have been a very heartwarming experience. There are some fantastic photos on this thread and also http://jxs2151-blogspot.com another plug for "Jeff". Can't help it--he did an amazing job.

The weirdos have broken up and as usual left trash strewn all over. They expect someone else to pick up after them--what else is new.

C-spam coverage of the usual suspects was pretty funny--you can't make this stuff up.

Hope someone sends photos of all the flags. The shot at Memorial Bridge (?) is just great.

[BlueOneGolf]

Aw c'mon. You gotta give us a better description than that! Where was this sidewalk? What were their comments? What'd they think of all the vets and Patriots showing up to hose their Commie Death March?

Man I wish I could've been there!

[jonrick46]

Fox said that the Commie Code Pinkos had only 2000 marchers. They said that the Pro Troop Rally had just as many or even more! Yes!

No wonder the MSM is distorting the coverage.

Our church gets more people at a spaghetti dinner.

[Trueblackman]

I don't hide from commies, I confront them like the 19 year old today, gave me his warcrimes sign after our debate and just left.

[rodguy911]

Remarkable post here, guess there is not much question about who to call when the s... hits the fan.

[California Patriot]

Excellent, very encouraging. Thanks.

[California Patriot]

If it's pretty equal, that's outstanding.

Thank God for Fox News.

Appreciate your response. I'm encouraged.

I saw one of our side picking up trash and taking care of it. Except for the mud, our areas as far as I could see, were neat as a pin. Nice to be among adults.

[rodguy911]

Ditto that for me!!!

[razzle]

Just got back home from the event. Was surprised at the large size of the pro-America crowd. We didn't have an area big enough to congregate so there were pockets of Patriots in several places. I was part of the tunnel of Patriots that the communists had to walk thru to reach their big party. After a few hours of this I walked around and although the communists were in one fair sized group beside the Lincoln Memorial, there were Patriots (Eagles) all over walking around. Mostly guys, but I was happy to see a good deal of women and some young ones on our side. It became colder as the day wore on, I got there around 1100 and left around 1500.

In case y'all missed it, this video from Feb. 22 is the

Gathering of Eagles Press Conference at the National Press Club with our own Kristinn, describing the anti-American's plans for this rally and their history, with scenes from ANSWER at rallies, and their obnoxious leaders.

It starts out with a live traffic report, but just wait that out.

3:14 ..... Getting down to the meat of things now .... An anti-war spokeswoman is at the mic ...... someone's step-mother ..... Melida Arredondo .... Gold Star Families .... no jacket. Layered in sweaters, though. Talking about citizenship for soldiers ... how flag represents the blood of gold star families .... now talking about breast-feeding .... These folks are nutso. Now it's undocumented immigrants. Uh huh. Invites everyone to walk the halls of congress ----- poof.

Carlos Arrendondo is now speaking for Gold Star Families ... lost his son in Iraq ... cameras cut to hillside -- it is empty. Protesters have left the area ... a few remain in front of podium .... he's referring to the Constitution -- not sure what he is saying ....

World Can't Wait! rep rattles off a list of topics .... war, katrina, peace, etc., with call for impeachment .... condemns all Democrat candidates (even Hillary) .... calls for more protests and resistence .... warns we ain't seen nothin' yet (close) when troops refuse to fight blah blah blah .... crowd is getting weak .... signs can't be THAT heavy, can they?

Older lady at the mic .... demanding apology from Bush for something .... offers a list of other demands .... Efia Nwangaza from "Not in Our Name" --- where the hell do they find these people?????

A.N.S.W.E.R. coord ..... thanks those who remain for facing the cold .... Brian Becker. Camera is scanning the crowd .... some weirdos .... claim to fame: they're being broadcast live on C-Span and Arabian TV (spelling offered later).

Mahdi Bray is back at the mic ..... must have been some cancellations. Boring. Quotes words from an old song .... "I don't wanna be right" .... Guess what? You ain't right, brother.

Gonna surf and find out what is going on in the real world.

3:32: announcement ... someone lost his wallet .... I bet.

A very loud woman is shouting into the mic .... something about imperialists .... denouncing the war .... wearing a headband .... ears have to be frozen. Leah Obias of JusticeNotWar in Philippines .... It has to be warmer in the Philippines. Why is she on that podium freezing her buns off? No one can understand her. The crowd is leaving .... Talk about getting a cold shoulder. (snicker)

I bet I'm the only one blogging this flop.

Good. Someone needs to watch this. After all ------- C-SPAN thought it important enough to broadcast live. I'm sure the Eagle Gathering is more eventful. And it is definitely better attended!!!

How embarrassing for ANSWER et al.

Now someone from Haiti. Bet he hates being up there in that cold weather .... just said it was 80 degrees when he left home this morning. Ben Depuy. Former Ambassador .... not sure to what or whom. He's not wearing shorts, so he's probably not an actor from one of those blue water commercials. And he's having trouble with his words. White scraggley beard .... shades .... ball cap ... talking about money Bush pledged to his country -- now quoting Chavez. So let Chavez fund his country. Bastard.

Chuck Kauffman ... Nicaragua Network Co-Cordinator. What the heck --- did they have more cancellations? No wonder the crowd is leaving.

So am I.
