ANSWER'S BRIAN BECKER CALLS PHOTOG FREEPER "COCKROACH," "GOV'T. SPY" AT RALLY, INCITES HARASSMENT

D.C. Chapter ^ | Saturday, May 24, 2003 | Kristinn and tgslTakoma

[Doctor Raoul]

Good catch.

The ANSWER cretin red diaper doper babies are so whacked out and on the edge now, why not give them a little push? Go to Radio Shack and pick up an earpiece similiar to the ones cops and the Secret Service wear. Men should wear the suits John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd wore in the Blues Brothers. Never take off the sun glasses and almost be scanning the crowd.

This is the guy who shoved me.

Perhaps you have misinterpreted his intentions. It appears to me from his photo that he likely hails from one of those countries where shoving a woman to the ground is supposed to be considered a come-on.

For an enlightening description of how Iranian women are treated by their men, read "Not Without My Daughter" sometime.

All kinds of weird stuff floated up out of the sewers in DC yesterday...

Please be careful. I applaud your courage, the folks that are attracted to this sort of radicalism are obviously lunatics.

[Bigg Red]

You guys have a lot of courage. Thanks for keeping an eye on these freedom haters. And thanks for the flag.

Compare these photos and see if you can pick out the movie actor Nazi from the real Nazi:

Those goobers don't use the same rulebook we do. You play big, but you are also handicapped by playing fair. They are not so encumbered.

Ain't that the truth! Whenever the IndyMedia camera kids show up to take pix or video, do we try and block their view? No.

When "Daryl Lamont Jenkins" from his OnePeoplesProject came out last October to heckle and take pix, did we threaten to bus' him? No. As a matter of fact, he and Kristinn had a few minutes worth of back and forth debate while Kristinn was onstage. Nobody shoved Daryl or tried to block his camera.

The only thing we do is tell folks who come in with signs that they can stay, provided they don't disrupt, and they need to put the signs down while they are in our crowd.

IndyMedia people have now posted my pic and what they think is my real-life name and Kristinn's pic, as well as his phone number and email address (probably from the DC Chapter website), and the malcontents are now talking about how they would deal with us.

And these are supporters of the religion of peace, and are against war? Hypocrites.

[tgslTakoma]

The one thing it tells me is that they consider FR.com to be a force.

Can you imagine the effect we could have if we had the kind of funding that they have? That reminds me, did Mr. Scaife send you your bonus check yet?

;-)

[tgslTakoma]

Looking back on the day, it was a good thing that I called Kristinn and he decided at the last minute to meet up with me for this event. I have "buddy system" etched in my brain, and will do so from now on.

[tgslTakoma]

Well remember, you dealt with that very angry senior citizen at Hillary's Whitehaven Manse with great skill and restraint. You're a pretty tough gal in your own right.

[tgslTakoma]

There were only two of us. A young couple stopped and chatted with us for a long time, so the lefties must have assumed that it was a plot by the four of us.

We never got the names of the couple, but if they're reading this... it was nice to meet you, and thanks for stopping to talk. If you guys join FR, let us know; and remember, the NC Chapter is a pretty active group, too.

[tgslTakoma]

A video camera is the next thing on my wish list. I forgot that my digital camera has the capability to record Quicktime video clips. I won't forget that again.

[tgslTakoma]

I'm sure that the pictures I got of the goons and the National Lawyers Guild team trying to stop me from filming are going to be a source of real embarassment for them as well as for CANSWER. You see, Mara the lawyer and the NLG have charged the DC Police with violating the rights of CANSWER-sympathetic photographers at a march they held earlier this year.

I guess their photographers' rights are more important than mine.

Doesn't make them look good at all.

[zeaal]

Thanks for your bravery.
I suspect it has been noted but the sign that read "Know Islam, Know Peace" was most interesting in light of the hatred shown by those in attendance.

[tgslTakoma]

Thank you very much for the kind offer, but you could get into biggtrouble if things got out of hand. We don't go out looking for trouble, and we try to avoid it, if at all possible. But this time, the lefties were really not wound too tight. I think it was because their "massive rally" was such a miserable flop; and they blame us for pointing out their Red Roots to the media.

You all are of course welcome to attend any DC Chapter events; we just want you to keep your stripes, too.

Let me know if you want me to add you to our ping list (you'll be notified when we post any DC Chapter event announcements).

P.S. I like your "war-mongerer" reference. I forget who says that all the time, but it is annoying that they don't even know the proper word/pronunciation.

[tgslTakoma]

What JVb said, goes double.

[tgslTakoma]

See DPB101's suggestion.

I vote for the Valentine brothers to do the Blues Brothers. You guys looked great in your dark suits and red ties at the MRC dinner... all you need is the hats and shades, and the coiled wires in the ears... practice talking into your shirt cuffs...

[tgslTakoma]

Your first link (webshots one) didn't work. If it was from an album of yours, you may have linked to the photo while you were logged in. If so, you need to log out and link from the public version of your album. (I learned that through trial and error when I started putting my photos on webshots)

[kayak]

You members of the DC Chapter are AWESOME. But please be careful out there ..... you are very valuable to the cause of freedom and we don't want you getting hurt.

[kristinn]

Thanks. We try to take care. The buddy system will definitely be needed if we choose to exercise our rights to observe public gatherings by International ANSWER.
