Excellent report. You covered everything but Mediaqueen's sign "It takes an idiot to enable a predator" and another asking about Juanita, Kathleen, Elizabeth, etc. A reporter from the Santa Rosa Press Democrat was surprised that we were all local people. She said she hadn't found any local people waiting in the line to buy books. Some were from Sacramento and many were from the East Bay.
In addition, an unnamed man managed to stand right next to Hillary's car when she emerged and, while the crowd clapped, he booed so loudly he drowned out the cheers. He says Hillary was very surprised at the mixed reception, but her Secret Service detail smiled. He was back in place for her departure. He also reported that the line had many challengers to the Clinton party line, so those worshippers had to defend themselves.
Today was more fun than I expected. (Yesterday at the SF Airport Marriot was exhausting because of the constant barrage of name calling and attempted intimidation from the ANSWER crowd. A plain clothes secret service man or campaign worker stopped to tell us the President thanked us for being there. That and seeing Air Force One take off was our reward.)
I was proud we could show Mrs. Clinton that Freepers are everywhere and she will not escape dissenters even in Boxer's Marin County.
I'm so glad the DC Chapter got to take the weekend off. It's about time. We owe you BIG TIME.

Hitlery may never get used to being booed. Enough booing and she might actually get discouraged. Let's not give her a single minute free from freeping.
You guys are great to get out there and do the deeds. Bravo!

I've run across them plenty o' time. That's all they can do is use their empty-headed rhetoric to shout out the mainstream, like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Coooool :-)

Great FReep! Way to go!
You mentioned the SF Airport Marriot yesterday. The Contra Costa Times had a big article about the ANSWER crowd and how large it was, with several quotes. There was one "interview" with one pro-Bush person and no mention that there was a FReep in support of the President. The paper said that there were 800-1,000 ANSWER protesters there, but the pictures they had in the paper didn't show anyone but three individuals who were holding signs.

Well first thanks for showing up so I could experience my first Freep.
That guy who booed was great because he was blending in real well talking to all the crazies so they thought he was one of them. I was standing next to him and the crowd didn't know what to make of him. The comebacks were "Go back to Texas" and my favorite "You're just an angry white Christian". The guy yelling that was white so I guess he hates himself. In Marin I never get the putdown of whites calling me white as an insult.
Mediaqueen's sign was my favorite as well. It was small but I think I may show my face at a few more of these.

"Yesterday at the SF Airport Marriot was exhausting because of the constant barrage of name calling and attempted intimidation from the ANSWER crowd."International ANSWER supports admitted homophobe Fidel Castro.
Whenever you want to burn an ANSWER-man, simply ask him why ANSWER supports a gay basher.
Castro Caught Gay-Bashing
Leftists have utterly NO DEFENSE against violating the PC code, so you can easily predict that the behavior of an ANSWER-man, when confronted, will be limited to:
1. Denial
2. Fleeing
3. Violence
4. Stunned Humiliation

Old mare: Thanks for adding in what I missed to the report and for being there!!!! I was desperately trying to remember what the other signs said but couldn't at the time I was writing the post. Apparently, the hat I was wearing didn't prevent the hot sun from melting part of my brain, which caused a temporary amnesia last night!!! It was great to see you again, reminiscent of our times countering the "peace and justice" crowd after 9-11. Likewise, it was great to meet those we'd never met before! Mrs. stratman and I had a great time as well!

Interesting report on the FReep. Do you actually live in Marin County, or were you just stopping by to boo Shrillery? If you live there, then you, friend, have some serious courage!
