A speaker was leading a chant of “Stop bombing Lebanon!”, which I found strange, since no one is bombing Lebanon.

LOLOL!...They're brain dead.

Great article, thanks for posting.

When confronted by people who actually fought and bled for their country, the protestors grew sheepish and embarrassed -- I would even say humiliated.

Not surprising. Most were just there for the drugs and chix.

Terrific article! Thanks for posting it.

[alarm rider]

This is refreshing.

That they were "scared" just seeing opposition is very encouraging.

Let's roll with this GOE deal. Way to go!

“You ma’am, if you get in the middle, there’s no way the police will knock you over.” The request caught me off guard -- I was unaware that old women are used as human shields anywhere outside of the Middle East.

Mikey Moore must be very proud of his brand of patriots and freedom fighters.

Wow, great report with some humor thrown in. Thank you vets for standing up to that scum.

[techcor]

LOL! Thanks. That's the best post I've read about the protests.

Your report made my day. Thanks!

Uhh...it was also displayed by a lot of freepers during the Clinton years. An upside-down flag means "We are in distress".

This is the other thing that got me laughing--the anarchists VOTED on what to do next! How hilarious!!

[HOTTIEBOY]

Hmmm.

I always took it as sign of disrespect ~ like when the illegals did it.

Guarantee you most of the protesters turned it upsidedown because they hate it.

Hi, Calpernia. It was an event I will never forget. I was taking a picture of a sign, a Viet Nam vet behind me told me the story about it. He said, a woman who had no family member in the military made it and drove for hours to bring it to the rally. I told him we didn't have anyone in the military either, then he asked me how far we came. I told him, and he gave me the tightest bear hug and thank me for coming all that way to support them. When he let go, I shook his hand and thanked him for his service. It was a very touching moment.

God bless them all.

A good, humorous recount of Saturday.

Great report, and thanks for posting. The peace creeps don't like pushback, do they? Never did.

I would reckon that a great majority of leftist protesters are people with no lives outside of protesting. Their lives are so inadequate they need these demonstrations to meet with other people whose lives are next to worthless too. This makes them realize that there are other people as miserable as they are, and they achieve a certain measure of non-misery.

Since leftists dislike practically everything about modern civilization and not just war, there is always something to protest. And that means there will always be marches, meetings, and demonstrations where their feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness are somewhat mitigated by being among those who they can share those feelings with. Nothing more than that.
