Saturday Antiwar Protests Fizzle [All we are saying, is give soap a chance]

September 15, the day of International ANSWER’s antiwar protest/“die-in” in the capital, started out calmly enough. But it didn’t end that way.

It began with a pro-troops rally sponsored by the Gathering of Eagles. This was the group that organized thousands of people, mostly Vietnam Vets, to come to the ANSWER rally last March and heckle the bejeezus out of the surprised antiwar protestors marching to the Pentagon. This time, several hundred Eagles were gathered on the mall, waving American flags, singing patriotic songs, and cheering speeches that praised U.S. soldiers and ridiculed the protestors. It was not yet 10 a.m., and hardly any ANSWER activists were to be seen. A funny thing about these D.C. rallies and counter-rallies is that the pro-American side always turns out early, while the leftists can never seem to get anything organized before noon.

Eventually I wandered off to a pre-rally “women’s convergence” sponsored by the antiwar feminists of Code Pink. Around 50 people gathered in front of a little stage on Pennsylvania Avenue. The small crowd was comprised of pink-clad women of various ages along with a few shamefaced men. Having clearly been dragged there against their will by their activist wives, I noticed that the men generally avoided making eye contact with one another. An elderly woman on stage strummed an acoustic guitar and belted out something that sounded like a rightwing parody of a feminist folk song: “Women of birthing; Women of dying; Gather the women; Let the circle begin,” she cooed. I’ve heard some bad music at antiwar protests, but this was by far the worst. I quickly fled the scene.

"...Second, the lib anti-war bunch has repeatedly embarrassed the Democrats, ...."

Also- they Embarrased Themselves!

Notice also that the PICS that ALL The Papers-ANSWER-Etc had posted where of the Quiet, Non-70 Year Old Charlie Manson Protesters and all left out of their reports & articles that 80% Plus of the crowd were 17 years old and under. Or that 95% of their Protest-Signs were MASS PRODUCED-Professionally Formatted & Printed ( by Who? Paid for by Who?-they aren't saying)

I had said it before- What HAS To Happen for America to get " Back On Track " and to be really Fully informed will be to have those of us continue EDUCATING America; One Door -One person at a Time, with PICS of what those who were Preaching " No Oil for Blood " & " Bush Lied " & " Where's the WMD's ", (All Old and already proven to be totally false charges- yet are still used by the left) REALLY looked like:

1) show Pics and INTERVIEWS of Teens marching; getting their EXTRA CREDIT Class Points by doing what their Professors had said would be " Studying and Participating in a Democratic Right to Protest " (Of Course also TELLING them that the ONLY Side worthy to be representing would be the ANTI-WAR side: with NO discourse given to investigating or debating the " Pro Defense " side of the arguement.

2) show the PICS of the Left's HATE-FILLED, Profanity laced, Disgusting personal attack Posters and signs. ( " To Get RESPECT; One must show respect ")

and 3) To basically show that almost 90% of those who had counted as NUMBERS on the " End the War " side of the isle really had no concept, education or information as to what was involved in this Issue or were simply there to join the rally from the left's side merely because they were told to " Come on down-Since your FRIENDS will be there too and it will be COOL! "

For every one ANSWER or Anti-War Representative that the PRESS and the Left SUPPORTERS in the Media protray/Pick because they are well-dressed and as presentable as any "Average American" you might see at the mall ,who might be Concerned about the current War-Time status of our Nation and it's Foreign Policies- there were 50 ; ANARCHISTS, SCIALISTS, Hired-Marhcers, those Screaming, Chemically Un-Balanced Homeless that were Recruited with the Promise of PAYMENT for marching & Violent ANTI-AMERICA Marchers.

The Media Loves to show ; " Concerned ANTI-WAR marchers, Moms & Dads Concerned about American Dead Body-Count, those supposedly Concerned with our War-Spending , or those " RETURNING " soldiers/ VETS who are AGAINST WAR Or Bush, or just those who like to dress up as vets.)

I saw nothing but "ANTI-AMERICA" protesters USING others under the guise of being concerned about the war while simply trying to increase their own Poitical Power and POWER-TRIP ends.

While the " Pro-DEFENSE " marchers are purposely shown as Only having a " PRO-War " agenda and philosophy. While the MEDIA writes their articles WITHOUT any Interviewing from the Pro-Defense/Support the Troops Crowd; those at the D.C. Rally lining ANSWER'S Parade were typed as being " ..mostly VETS and with MILITARY backrounds & Family connections."

It IS the left that is Embarassing themselves happily and Giving the enemies of America Courage and Support.It is THIS point and These Photos that the VOTING Citizens of America have to see.

And you all know: THIS will only be up to those of us out there willing to do this Hard Work.

WE sure as hell won't be getting any of this truth out thru the American-Liberal Supporting media! Local or National.

LOL!

This Langer guy is good. I hope he can cover more of these things.

The massive lead banner, stretching around 40 feet across the width of the protest, ripped in half, hindering the lead protestors’ efforts to hold a straight line.

The Left has a bad hair day.

“Women of birthing; Women of dying; Gather the women; Let the circle begin,”

We need John Belushi to come along to smash the guitar into kindling.

Hat tip to the good doctor from a fellow Hillary bedeviller.

[Ladysmith]

[BufordP]

I was able to watch your rally speech replayed Sunday on CSPAN. Good job!

[do the dhue]

Well, I am still in Indiana. I leave tomorrow morning to come back to Texas.

And I tell people John Edwards posed for the sign. Messed his hair up. He had to pay some 500 bucks to get it fixed! :-)

[AprilfromTexas]

LOL, looks just like him to me!

Great job, and it sounds like you guys had some fun too!

Have a safe trip back!! ;^)

[G8 Diplomat]

HAHAHA Great sign! I love it when ANSWER rallies get smacked down.

[AprilfromTexas]

If you can’t say something intelligent, don’t say anything at all. Congress goes silent...)

Love your tag line! It’s a lovely thought!

[pattty]

Occasionally, and as the leftists lost it completely, Raoul would say things like, "Would someone tell please tell the peace marchers to remain peaceful?" and "STOP THE LEFTWING VIOLENCE."

ROTFLOL!!!

[G8 Diplomat]

LOL Thanks :)
