I think the gentleman woho said hello and goodbye to us was a fireman from down the street. Probably just getting something from the coffeehouse inside.
Some of the best lines capitalized on the "Fish Story" theme. People would be stopped in their cars, if they had kids inside, I'd go, "Hey park the car and take the kids to the book store, Sid Blumenthal's telling fish stories."
One lady stopped and asked us to explain the "Fish" sign to her elderly mom in the pasenger seat. She was loving the protest. When we were through, Mom was laughing too.
AN employee of Politics and Prose came out and asked the meaning of my sign, a fish in the middle of the sign with the "Sid's" above and "Story" below. You get a lot of liberals who think they are playing dumb (when really, really they are) but this guys said her was from Germany and didn't get it. I explained that in this country, it's a common joke that recreational fishermen always lie about the size of the fish the catch or the one that got away.
I also did a few lines about 800 pages divied by $28 means Sid's book is just pennies per lie.
Also how Sid's book was just "600 pages of drek before they brought in David Brock to rewrite it".
Hope that we can post links to video highlights of future FReeps.
I took video of our FReep of the ANSWER crowd marching by as we were at Freedom Plaza a couple months ago. I got some portions digitized, but never edited and selected parts to post.
At that event, one of the ANSWER leftists infiltrated our area and accosted 3 patriots (I didn't recognize them as FReepers). The ANSWER guy went into an anti-Semitic tirade, calling the patriots "dirty Jews who should go to Israel." He yelled every vile anti-Semitic slur within a minute before the police relocated him to rejoin his fellow red fascists.
I pulled out the video camera, but, in the crowd, I was unable to get usable footage of the anti-Semite leftist. I was hoping to make that piece of scum the poster boy of ANSWER.
With Sauropod video taping some FReeps, maybe we can get some future video highlights online?
