Re: thanking Fox for covering -- Great idea. It's always important to thank powerful people (and anyone else) for doing the right thing. Easy to forget, but also very easy to do.

I was thinking to myself, earlier, that a great tactic would be that whenever a group of Libs starts something, have a group of Conservatives FLANK THEM, then make their presence known!

Seems that scares them away like rabbits...

When I was in the Air Force I wondered how I could respond to the nutbars without bringing disgrace to the AF and the uniform. Giving them the finger or yelling obscenities would reflect more badly on me than them. So I decided to laugh a them. Sometimes pointing and laughing also works well. It make the moonbats angry because it's not the reaction they want.

Thanks for the first hand report, razzle. Good to see the punks intimidated by the patriots!

We will BE at the next one.

(And I can't help feeling bad........but thanks for helping to take some of the pain away.....)

"Mike came out of a Porta-Potty at one point and found himself face-to-face with a Park cop, who glanced at his jacket, gestured, and said, "Patriotic Americans over there.""


PRICELESS...!!!

When I posted another counter-protest anecdote on another board a short while ago, the responses were:

"Why do you hate AMERICA so much?"

"Let me tell you about a little thing called an Election..."

In short, the moonbats have no idea how to react to the counter-protest.

What are you vbasing that on? your
perceptions from on the ground?
As far as I know, there was no
airial, or even rooftop coverage
of the march, and damned little
perspectiive shots from either
the beginning or end of the march.

The best shot at the Pentagon
of the Antis, couldn't have been
much more than a couple thousand.

Once you looked past the stnds,
there were only small clusters
of people. and *they* dramatically
shunk during the course of the
speakers weak rantings. By the
time the last speaker finished,
I doubt there were more than
200 people in front of the stage..
And they were only there, because
their busses weren't there for
them to get on.

"Ann Coulter said it best when she said that most people only consider themselves liberals because its a nicer sounding word than conservative."

Welcome to FR. I keep a lot of good reference material on my homepage, including a good "sound bite video" of Ann using that exact comment. Feel free to use my bandwidth anytime when debating leftist.

I just heard a Fox News update. They mentioned the anti-war protest and how the turnout for the war protesters was a lot smaller than what planners had expected.

And the pro troops people almost outnumbered the antis.

Hi IT,

We showed our credentials and were permitted to pass through the gauntlet on Constitution Ave. Nick Danger had more than a dozen of the GOE armbands, and began passing them out to those who didn't have them. We looked for you over by the sound stage, then we fell in behind a group of Rolling Thunder eagles, and walked over to the Lincoln Memorial. Spoke with Nutmeg via phone, and met the brave group standing guard at the Memorial Bridge...then we crossed the bridge and waited to greet the moonbats with the MOAB (Mother of All Banners)...that sign found in not less than three AP aerial photos. A great day for patriots!

The rightmost ANSWER area was virtually empty all day. At one point there were 30 or 40 moonbats on the corner at Constitution, but they gave up after being glowered at for a while.

I was standing on the bridge, and I could see the column of protesters as they marched to the Pentagon.
