I was at the event yesterday and can verify that there was an obviously organized counter-event staged by the Democrats. There were hundreds of them there.
Most of us found it funny. We had to be bused in from a mall that was 2 miles away because parking is limited in the town of Media. The Dems had lined the approaching road with sign holders. Those of us on the bus just smiled and waved back. When we got off the bus, we were met with people shouting in our faces - even at my 13-year-old daughter who just laughed back at them.
I thanked a few of them for coming to the event because it meant that they were not out knocking on doors and making calls to independents. Between this and us just smiling back at them, I think they just got angrier.
What a complete waste of time for the Dems. Did they really think they would change the minds of the people coming to a Republican rally? How stupid can they be?!
I say - let them do this for every event. What morons!
On our way out of the rally, I past by the loony tunes. They began saying things in response to my holding up my, “Proud Military Mom for McCain/Palin” sign. I stopped and held the sign higher. One man yelled ..we have lots of jobs for you. I replied, “ One I don’t need your kind of jobs. Two I think you oughta save those jobs for yourselves since it seems you can use one and maybe some for your welfare friends.”
At that point one of the cops told me to move along, we are trying to keep trouble at a minimum. I told him that I was responding to their taunts and if he was there to protect their First Amendment Rights, he should be prepared to protect mine as well. He just smiled and shook his head and I walked on.
I smell fear coming from the Obama campaign. A frightened animal is dangerous.
I’m glad it didn’t get violent — especially as your little girl was there. You just never know what these emotion driven, hate filled nut jobs will do. They are akin to rabid dogs really... scary they are yelling in the face of children.
Too bad you didn’t have a stun gun set to ‘crispy’ :)
