I strolled by Trover on my lunch hour and if that's what a Freeper protest looks like, I'm embarrassed. A grand total of 9, mostly badly dressed and ill-mannered.

It only takes one person, telling the truth, to make a difference.

Funny that the dozen or so print and TV media who came up to interview our "badly-dressed and ill-mannered" folks stayed for a considerable time to chat and asked some fairly in-depth questions - which were expertly and articulately answered by FReepers armed with documentable facts.

Thanks for your considered opinion, but I think you must have been slipped some Clinton Koolaid as you passed unawares through the Hillary! crowd; which accounts for your faulty recollection of events.

I'm positive that you didn't see or hear any FReepers cursing or giving single digit responses to the crowds. Just how were we ill-mannered? -- oh well, our pictures will show our freep line and signs and people can make up their own minds.

Why didn't you stop by and introduce yourself?

Were you the one eating a baloney sandwich and pushing a shopping cart with pinwheels attached to the handle?

Been to many FReeps-at least five in the DC area over the horrendous tragedy of having to live with the embarrassment of that filthy and out of control klinton duo polluting OUR White House (a fact they disregarded with great arrogance and sociopathic activity). Now THAT is embarrassment.

And while taking part in FReeps in DC, I have never seen even ONE FReeper behaving in an ill mannered way. Ever. But I have experienced extraordinary kindness and humor and dedication from the DC Chapter crew-very appreciated for those of us who travel long distances to participate in activism on behalf of our beliefs.

BTW- Have even been reminded more than once by certain members of the DC Chapter of FR to maintain a courteous and civil tone... and have experienced wonderful conversations and nods of approval from WH security guards.

Apparently you have applied or plan to apply for membership into the vast and silly liberal society of American socialists known as the DNC ( the criminal enterprise we all fight against)...where the undaunted ability to lie with abandon is seems to be the number one requirement. Because I know the folks who attended this FReep-I find your comments genuinely fitting the same mold that cranked out Hillary's tome of lies.

Perhaps you should have joined us. Then we would have been ten and you'd have helped out by adding some class to our little rag tag band.

Her Heinous has two more appearances in northern Virginia coming up. Your help would be appreciated.

First on the numbers, we would have gladly welcomed you if you had joined us.

Also with respect to numbers, consider the following.

Mr. ConfettiMan started a White House protest on Saturday mornings in 1998. Brave person and patriot that he is, he was the ONLY person there on the first Saturday.

More people came the following Saturdays. By the time that the Clintons left with the White House silverware, Angelwood had given away about 30,000 maps showing Clinton White House crime scenes. Probably at least a quarter million tourists had observed that some citizens objected to the lawnessless of the Clintons.

Just the presence of those who protested Hillary caused many in the press to at least acknowledge that NOT everybody knelt before the Would-Be Queen.

You are correct that bigger numbers are better. Therefore, can we count on you to join us at the next Hillary pre-coronation events in Northern VA?

Relative to "badly dressed," would you kindly suggest what is appropriate to wear when standing in the sun in downtown for about 2 hours in humidity and upper 80s heat? Please go to the thread on the DC FReep of Hillary (click here) and observe the photos.

Kindly post on that thread (and ping the FReepers listed as present in the honor roll) your specific critique of the garb of the FReepers. Then, we can discuss appropriate attire for such an event and whether we need some "dress for success" help in that regard.

Relative to "ill-mannered," I do not understand. Painting with such a broad brush, you have characterized all of the FReepers at that event (myself included) as acting poorly.

Common courtesy requires that a person making such a characterization explain who misbehaved and what they did. Please do so on the thread devoted to that event.

Constructive criticism is welcome. If a FReeper (I or someone else) was "ill-behaved," we should all know and we can correct any problems. Will you be so kind as to tell us what FReepers did wrong?

(I must say that I've never seen a FReeper misbehave at a protest. It may happen, but I've not seen it.)

Assuming that your criticisms were well-intentioned, you should be happy to clarify so that we can correct any problems.

Most of the freepers skipped lunch and work to make a weekday, mid day freep. I think 9 is a decent number. Plus, I did not think Hillary had a very good turnout either. My estimate is around 300.
