Rally for America -- security alert

Free Republic Network | 03/19/03 | Interesting Times

[Interesting Times]

We are receiving persistent reports that leftist activists plan to infiltrate Rally for America events and act in ways intended to discredit them. Outside disruptors may also provoke confrontations in hopes of irritating someone enough to take a swing at them.

Don't bite! Any such events will be used to smear conservatives as violent and dangerous. Remind your troops to keep their cool.

If you are involved in planning a Rally for America event, please consider assigning someone to keep an eye out for problems. You should know where the police are and how to contact them. If you decide someone's behavior is out-of-bounds, first make clear what is expected. If problems continue, don't hesitate to tell the police and ask them to separate the disruptor or disruptors from your group. Also note that infiltrators are likely to convey by their expression and body language that they are less than thrilled to be in the company of patriotic conservatives, which may give you some advance warning.

Maintaining control is a critical aspect of having a successful event.

Overlook one "Kill all the Arabs!" sign, and you can expect to see it that evening on ABCNNBCBS.

They say vigilance is the price of freepdom...

Important reminder--thanks!

[Interesting Times]

Ping.

Ouch. Rally organizers may want to notify their local constabulary.

Watch out for peaceniks dressing in KKK outfits...Happenened to me on Feb 15th during a TV interview !!

A few weeks ago we had a rally at the Alamo. I came across two S.A. cops who although weren't assigned duty at the rally, were bike patrol for the downtown area. They both told me that there was a chance that some disruptors would try and taunt us into a confrontation and that they would be close by to keep the peace( which I took to mean that the disruptors would be shown the basement in the Alamo). Trick is to keep your cool and don't let the little people get a foot hold. Maggots and roaches hide from the light.

Thanks! How about a sign that says "Saddam is the Mother of all A_ _ Holes" - is that one O.K.?

Not to mention Iraqi propaganda.

Okay, maybe that was redundant. >:)

Disrupters will not be happy if they decide to tangle with us in NYC. Any arrest in connection with a demonstration now requires a slumber party in jail. No more cushy court appearances only.

I wish those contemplating disruption could see the Avenging Angel WTC posters on the wall in the NYPD precincts.

Thanks. If you see white sheets and hoods or Nazi symbols, make *very* certain that any media types in the area know they aren't with your group.

Yell and point if you have to.

Well, perhaps you can give them that opportunity.

You're probably better off avoiding profanity entirely...

[firebrand]

I hope to, should they show up.

[Rabid Dog]

Our group doesn't do profanity! - somebody who joined us had that sign. I think he got more honking and thumbs up than we did.

We are a clean, mean and lean chapter!

They'll have to shower, shave, and get a haircut to properly fit in. Then there's the body piercing and covering of tatoos. If they manage to accomplish that you'll still be able to recognize them by their inability to properly handle the flag...if it occurs to them to bring one. And one more thing, they have a real hard time keeping their true biases to themselves.

They've shown up in SF. One guy had a KKK sign a year or two ago. I've also seen some John Birchers that I'm uncomfortable being associated with... It can be difficult in a free society to "KICK" people out of a public event.

As a side note, keep in mind the left has it's own image problem with every type of socialist, anarchist, commie, wack-o, nut-job being far more prevalent in their ranks. Of course the main stream media would never show a picture like this 'casue it would expose the "peace" marchers as what they really are.

For the truly offensive, one strategy is to have everyone point the disrupters out to the press and say in a LOUD voice "HE"S NOT WITH US"

Photos of the Washington anti-war protests were posted here recently.

Some of the leftists had flags, but they were all modified or mutilated in some way...

I can't wait to see 'em with the NASCAR contingency here in Richmond...
