Excellent freep choice. I will try to think of sign ideas. His sermons and comments should be target-rich.
Give the old charlatan a real skewering!
Context For Reverend Wright...(READ PORTIONS OF HIS SERMONS)
As properly discerned by the God Bless America crowd, he was not taken out of context.
“No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.”
In other words, do not act like Rev Wright does during his “church” sermons.
I sure hope Freepers are shown on tv...maybe Fox will show something on it...
Man the presentation was shocking.. even for that creep.
Did any FReepers get in? Looking foward to the AAR... hopefully the FReepers were able to stay & get some comments from the attendees as they leave.
fwiw, i believe that he unwittingly has begun the process of SINKING Obama's campaign.
it will NOT help "duh big Oh" that The Nation of Islam is PROVIDING PROTECTION TO "revrund wrong" (btw, there were two "Fruit of Islam" thugs standing around "revrund wrong" at the NPC.)
the FOI is the same group of THUGS that "protects" Louis Farrakhan.

I do know that the plan seems to be to have signs and dialog with people when the are arriving, thus the reason for the Free Republic event starting a bit before the speech.
Hopefully they will get reactions from the attendees as they leave.
I think he's been unwittingly used as a pawn to sink Obama's campaign.
I never in a million years thought the MSM would allow Obama to become the Dem candidate...they worship at the Clinton alter. They knew this guy would say inflammatory things and that would be the end of the Obama problem.

Of course the DC Chapter would be there! Sorry I missed this. Thanks for showing the flag, as always.
