Just got off the phone with Firebrand. The NYPD is jerking us around as usual. We are allowed to go through only on 40th street and will have to converge at the corner of 41st street and 1st avenue.I am updating the hotline 917-387-8865 of any changes.
I will try to post with my pocket pc from the location as soon as I get there. Getting in my car and will try to drive into Manhattan.

Thanks to everyone for being there yesterday. Great signs and great pictures! From the Richmond, Virginia paper this morning
Other demonstrators, however, supported the possibility of U.S. military action. About 1,000 demonstrators gathered on Manhattan's West Side, where 41-year-old George Sarris held a sign reading "Bomb Iraq."
"The liberals are the complainers," Sarris said. "The Republicans aren't. So I came out to tell our side of the story." RTD

firebrand, you did a marvelous job, and we managed to have about 20 minutes of fun on the corner of 40th and 2nd.....but the rally was terrific, and no matter what we do, we always all have fun together!

Thank you for the wonderful pics, NYC GOP Chick... fantastic as always, and I love your witty captions! LOLAs always, my pleasure to share the fun -- but I did have to censor myself on some of the captions since I didn't want to get banned. ;)

They are as incompetent as they are intolerant. Both eggs missed and the police got a good look at which window it came from on the second toss.Any arrests made?

I saw one FOX5 cameraman spend at least a couple of minutes standing in the street filming us. I pointed him out to a couple of people and said that I hoped the footage would get passed along to the network.

I don't know if there were. I'm sure the NYPD visited the apartment because the Sargent kept his eye on the window. I believe he was waiting for one of his officers to appear at the window to confirm they were visiting the right place.

That was sauropod posting under my name last night (guess he forgot to log me out).
I was sound asleep by nine. Hadn't had much sleep since Wednesday (too much work to clear off, too be free for this weekend), and the only thing keeping me awake after the rally yesterday was white wine and adrenalin.
Thanks for the ride home yesterday. It's truly amazing, the trail of garbage those people left behind them. Ignorant, hateful, spoiled brats. I resent their sucking up air in my city. I really do.
To: hellinahandcart
Yes those libs are a disgusting bunch....they make me wanna barf!
Had fun yesterday hhc....I know not to keep wineglasses around you....ROTFLOL

Cacique & Firebrand et al: Great FReep, congratulations from the Sunny South East :)
Exit148: I second what Doctor Raoul said. The Left in large groups can be dangerous and violent. The object of a FReep is to engage the enemy but to come back alive. In any case, the police would have most likely told you to move on.

Great report.
I have to wonder if why you and the other Freepers were kept in the closet and out of sight by have been due to the new mayor of NYC?

We saw quite a few of they that were agitated at our presence and I'm sure if there wasn't police present, they'd have gotten physical. I know it was far too cold to wear your FRY MUMIA t-shirt out there yesterday, but did anyone flash a FRY MUMIA sign at the unwashed? If so, what was the reaction? (I can guess! LOL)

For one thing, we need to find out who those 1,000 pro Bush portesters at Columbus circle were and whether we can contact them and coordinate our activities. If we can do that on a nationwide basis even better. I hope all Freepers out there do some research and post your results. Anything anyone can find out about the rally at Columbus Circle will be welcomed. The left thrives in being united under umbrella organizations and bringing together as many disparate left organizations to achieve an end. We need to learn to do the same. I agree with your statements above. The left is so damn organized, it's sickening. Imagine the impact if we had known about those 1,000 like-minded counter-protestors at Columbus Circle. For future rallies, it could be far more effective to plan strategically and come forward as a united front with groups like this, rather than in fragmented small groups.
GREAT photos, BTW! Wonderful to see Curtis Sliwa at the FR rally... so glad we've got him on OUR side.
