The Hillary FReeping started in Chicago this morning with breakfast at Svea, a sweedish restaurant across the street from Women & Children First, the gay & lesbian book store that "hosted" the Beast. I was the first to arrive followed quickly by Chicagolady, GRRRRR, Endeavor and her friend (who came all the way from Champaign), SteveA (who came down from Milwaukee), Unspun.
While everyone was enjoying breakfast, I walked over and talked to the police cheif and some officers and let them know our purpose and peaceful intent. They were happy to have us there and gave us a prime location on the corner right across from the line. The one officer said to the chief "hey, here's our loud & obnoxious protesters" jokingly and I said "we're not here to be obnoxious"...he laughed and said "can't you just be a little obnoxious?" They asked why we protested, I gave them various reasons, the one officer asked if I was a Republican, I proudly announced I was and he asked if he could join our side and I told him gladly.
After breakfast other FReepers like TheRightGuy, BillyBoy, and a few others joined us in line on our side of the street. The police were very nice to us and made comments throughout the FReep like "you guys are the only normal ones here" and "you guys are great because you don't block the streets"...we told them how much we appreciated them.
Several FReepers were interviewed by local media which included ABC, CBS, NBC, WGN, FOX & ChicagoTV in addition to radio WBBM and news papers such as the Sun Times and Chicago Tribune. We feel we all came across as normal and not overly emotional. The liberals, of course, could not stand the fact that we were using their own tactics against them. We were filmed constantly by a guy in a red floral shirt that we think was from DU but he wouldn't admit to it.
Hillary arrived in a "perky" little Katie Couric style outfit with a sweater thrown over her shoulders and left in the infamous black pant suit. We had a variety of signs and I'm sure FReepers will post pictures to follow as we get them developed. GRRRRR has some digital that will be up right away, I have film that will be posted later.
We were effectively annoying to the liberals and it remained peaceful through out....Chicagolady showed up in a Statue of Liberty costume and we all had fun. As Hiltery "left the building" we all chanted "we believe Jaunita"
We'd like to thank the Chicago PD who was very accomadating and professional.

Talk about slack-jawed rabble . . . she is the poster child.
Check it out.
Hmmmm ... it seems there are now links on the DU site to GRRRRR's pictures of us.
What'samatter with dem guys ... don't they know how well armed we are?
Too bad there wasn't an "evening gown competition," CL. BTW, NARAL ("National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League") has the gall to use the Statue of Liberty in their logo. Way to bring it back where it belongs.
My first FReep Classic with ya'll (as opposed to MegaFReep Rally) and a... sublime privilege.
Great TV on local Fox and Channel 7's news. Great interviews on Fox and we were the story on Ch. 7!
Let's get Blago s-o-o-o-o-me time, s-o-o-o-o-o-m-e-where... when he least expects it....
What color are Hillary's eyes today, GRRRRR?
Way to go Chicago Freepers!
"One reporter really liked it when I called Hillary's book.. a Weapon of mass Distortion!
Excellent :-)
They did make a retraction about blaming RedWing9 for the "get a job" thing.
I agree...let's FReep BLAGO
