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.

Will do. We did have a lot of fun. You will too, next week.
Thanks. I think a lot of other folks thought so too.
I like it!
Thanks!
Make sure to scroll up and get the other two. I’m dying to see the reaction to the soap one (grin).
You did a great job with all of them!
ROTFLMAO!!!!
Doug...I'm sure you can youtube something with this one, right?
That's certainly a mouthful just to ask for a cup of coffee! LOL!
It’s written. For the YouTube, it would be helpful if you could bring to this thread some good photos of smelly, disgusting protestors.
Got any photos of stinky protestors to help a fellow FReeper enlighten the liberal useful idiots about the merits of some good soap?!?! If you have some or you know someone who does, refer them to our FRiend Doug!!! Please!
Or these gems from photobucket.com
You can also look at the "Make Bread, not War" goofs with loaves of Challah taped onto signs. LOL!
-Hasn’t it occurred to anyone that the Dems supposed shift of support to the anti war crowd especially over the past year was merely a way to energize their base for the last midterms and goose the turnout? It was successful in it’s aims and now that the election is over the Dems are ever so slowly shifting back to the center to begin their preparation for Hitlery’s 2008 presidential run which must appeal to a larger segment of the population.
Hitlery has already started her shift and the smarter Dems are starting to sound like her or, as in the case of incompetents like Pelosi and Reid, never did get the strategy memo.
PING...Give soap a chance! Code Pinko, Stinkos!
The last picture is of ProtestWarrior signs.
