Huge, Huge Success in Berkeley!

Hundreds Turn Out to Support U.S. Troops in - yes - Berkeley, California!!!

Mark this day down folks. It was Wednesday, October 17, 2007 that hundreds of pro-troop supporters turned out for a giant pro-troop rally in Berkeley, CA (one of the most anti-military & anti-war cities in this nation). Not only did the size of the rally shock the San Francisco Bay Area news media, it surprised the anti-war activists at Code Pink who were outnumbered on their own turf!.

Move America Forward and other pro-troop organizations and leaders put on a pro-troop rally to counter the harassment of the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center by Code Pink in Berkeley.

For 3 weeks the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center has faced protests (including vandalism and defacing of their building) and taunts against the Marines that they were “traitors” and “liars” and “murderers” and guilty of “assassination.”

We’ll be posting more and more updates, photographs and after-action reports so keep checking back to www.MoveAmericaForward.org over the next 2 days!

Very good!

I did point out here on FR that that last time I was in Berkeley, I found, prominently displayed at Black Oak Books, Goldwater's Conscience of a Conservative, a book by Milton Friedman (I forget which), and The Essential Russell Kirk (which I bought).

I think we're managing to infiltrate the place.

Flag-waving demonstrators far outnumbered a group of peace advocates

Now THERE'S an objective headline! Pro-troop folks are "flag-waving demonstrators" while the America-haters are "a group of peace advocates." Never mind that these champions of peace are some of the most foul-mouthed, aggressive, bellicose hate-mongers on earth, or that they're so hypocritical they don't see the irony in being prepared to beat the crap out of anyone who disagrees with their peace agenda.

Not bad, especially considering that most of the pro-American demonstrators actually have jobs.

Huge, huge props to these guys for outnumbering, outhustling, and outclassing the pinkos on their own turf. I bow to your greatness.

How did they manage to smuggle all those flags into Berkeley without getting them burned?
