Doctor Raoul and I met at Penn Station (thanks to cell phones--who knew there were two Acela waiting rooms?). The Doctor had already come up on the NJ Coast Line, with his Santa's sack of signs and costumes, plus bullhorn (which we were not allowed to use). We caught the 4:01 to Huntington and were met at the train by deadhead and alisasny.
When the four of us got to the site, there were already a young man and a young woman holding signs. They were from Marist College. Later, other wonderful kids from Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Syosset, Cold Spring Harbor High School, and Saint Anthony's High School joined us, dressing up in the Doctor's devil costumes and masks. Other people stood with us throughout, simply feeling they belonged on our side of the street, across from the bookstore.
There was lots of yelling from one side of the street to the other. Usually we started it and then received lame, low-IQ replies.
Alisasny and nickyg33 brought their banners, created by abner. Nicky's said "Go Home Hillary" and alisasny's said "Hillary V.I.P. / Vicious Insufferable Phoney." These things are huge and need at least two people to hold them up. They are extremely effective. Raoul now has at least one of them to use at future demonstrations.
As reported on another thread, Carl Limbacher was there throughout almost the entire event. Sean Hannity came by in his SUV and was immediately mobbed by our side of the street. What a great guy he is in person--accessible and sincere. Then Mike Seigel arrived a little later.
We did interviews with Jewish World, Newsday, and other publications.
At one point, the owner (?) of the pub we were standing in front of came out to tell us not to hold the "Go Home Hillary" banner in front of his place. We started to move, then someone who had been standing with us said not to, so we went back. He came out again and made a fuss, so we compromised by standing in front of his pub but in the street rather than on "his" sidewalk. Someone speculated that a few of the people standing with us were plain-clothes cops, but of course we didn't know this for sure. The Secret Service guy came over and eyeballed us in the beginning, and then he and others repaired to the Batmobile area. It was parked right across from us with traffic cones around it. The Suffolk County cops were very pleasant.
All in all, a delightful freep, one of the best ones I have been to. We went to the territorial Democrat's pub afterwards and told war stories about other freeps. Our little group had to break up soon after than, and alisasny ran me and the Doctor back to the train station.
Well, she speculated about a devil, and she got two. Plus a Laura Bush (holding a sign that said "I Know Where My Husband Is Sleeping"), a Hillary with an Arafat scarf facsimile, and of course the hilarious Rodham Hussein.
We await deadhead's pictures to be posted on this thread later.
Mark Levin is also known as "The Great One". Those of us familiar with him on WABC radio know why he's earned this nickname... he absolutely demolishes liberals who dare to call into his regular WABC show (Sundays, 12 noon - 2PM ET). He's also hysterically funny while he's demolishing all things liberal, too! :-)
Here's his bio from the WABC website: 77 WABC Personality - Mark Levin
I may need to get me one of them satellite radio thingies.
You can listen to WABC live via streaming audio on your computer. Here's a link to their home page: NewsTalk Radio 77 WABC
Just click "Listen Live" (a couple of times until it connects)
LOL, way to go with those HUGE banners! ;-D
Y'know, the more I think about it... wouldn't it be great if Hillary was met with these same HUGE banners at all of her book signings, all over the country?
Think she'll mention: "These people have been following me all around the country with this Vicious Insufferable Phony banner" the next time she's on Letterman? LOL
Same here! THANK YOU Sean and Mark, for the support and publicity!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent miscellaneous ping list.
Sean Hannity shows up at the Tri-State FReepers' Hillary book signing FReep last Friday!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent FoxFan list.
Good ones! Rack up another one for the NY FReepers. You guys really nailed Hitlery.
This sign is a classic!
This sign should be held high at all Hillary sightings!
Even Hillary's supporters will cringe at the truth of it.
Hillary V.I.P. / Vicious Insufferable Phoney
This sign is sooooooooooooo perfect! Ironic, sarcastic...deeeeelicious!
