I went upstairs to the lunchroom at the National Press Club with a stack of the Who is the Peace Movement? pamphlets by David Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture. The pamphlets have a photo on the cover of the San Francisco "anti-war" protesters carrying the "We Support Our Troops When They Shoot Their Officers" banner.

Inside the lunchroom, I looked around for any reporters to give the pamphlet to. I saw one and gave it to him.

I didn't want to hang around trying to hand them out to people going in the room because I thought it would be rude and might be construed as harrassment. As I was turning to leave, a gaggle of people came walking down the hallway. Ramsey Clark was leading the way.

I politely stepped forward and asked Mr. Clark if he would take the pamphlet. He extended his hand and took it from me. He walked in the lunchroom followed by Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, A.N.S.W.E.R.'s Commie lawyer.

I offered Ms. Verheyden-Hilliard a pamphlet, saying that as a lawyer she could check it out for libel and slander. She ignored me.

Next was Brian Becker, a member of the secretariat of the Workers World Party and spokesman for A.N.S.W.E.R. I didn't speak to him and he didn't speak to me.

Peta Lindsay, their youthful idiot from Howard University was there, too. I should have given her a pamphlet, but didn't.

Mission accomplished, I went back down and joined BillF and Angelwood out on the sidewalk in front of the National Press Club building.

Oh my, Verheyden-Hilliard and Becker. You were with the base core of the communist party in America. I guess C-Span was trying to make up for giving Drudge air time at the press club.

What we want to see is YOU being interviewed at the Press Club. You and Angelwood are our voices in DC for FR. Wondering out loud, do you think you can get on?

Anyway, BillF, Kristinn, Angelwood, thank you for being there.

Becker probably hates your guts.

Next time let me debate him.

You, my friend, are getting getter and better at this. A tip of the old sombrero to the D.C. Chapter, and you especially.

Latest column, now up FR, "Brave New Moment."

I offered Ms. Verheyden-Hilliard a pamphlet

The WashPost offered her something much better - a puff piece titled "Stirring a Cause" (click for full article) in Monday's paper. Portions of the article included:

The D.C. police want everyone out of 18th Street NW, and they mean now. They're pushing their batons hard against rib cages and backs. They're grabbing shoulders and shoving.

SNIP

The crowd surges away from the batons. But a thin, intense woman dressed in business black charges against the tide, directly at the blue police line. She whips out a camera and starts snapping, until an officer shoves her between two cars.[emphasis added]

SNIP

Law school won't prepare you for a workout like this, but it's all in a day's work for a movement lawyer like Mara Verheyden-Hilliard. [emphasis added]

SNIP REMAINDER OF ARTICLE

The article is probably worth reading. Not to see how much hero worship the Post can bestow on its far-left friends (ANSWER = a huge amount), but for some interesting tidbits about suits she has filed against DC area police.

Then again, is the Post article accurately describing those cases?

Way to go Kristinn. Too bad you didn't get to stick around and see the expression on Ramsey Clark's face when he got an eyeful of the booklet on his group.

Also, you have a lot of courage, coming in contact with Ramsey Clark, Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, and Brian Becker all at the same time. I hope you took one of those Silkwood type showers afterwards.
