Washington Puget Sound FReep Lying HerStory Tour

My 'After-action' Report for the Hillary Book Signing FReep...

I showed up at about 10:15 (fifteen minutes later than I had planned, but let us not discuss that), and was immediately contacted by others in the parking lot - They asked if I was a FReeper, to which I replied in the affirmative. They were "...glad to see the FReepers come out", and they were members of the KVI 570th Cavalry. We went around front where we were to meet, where I joined up with Libertina and eala - other people were there, none that I knew, who had shown up after hearing about the event on the radio.

I had three signs that I brought - "ASK HILLARY ABOUT JUANITA", "WILL PARDON TERRORISTS FOR VOTES", and "WATCH FOR LOW-FLYING BROOM". Since I was busy helping to hold up the "AMERICAN CAN'T TRUST HILLARY" banner (Thanks, Bob J!!), I made my signs available to others who were attending. Eala spent most of the day wearing the Devil mask, sweating in the hot sun, holding the "I SOLD MY SOUL TO HILLARY" sign. Libertina was wearing the Clintochio Mask.

During the course of the day, I counted 8 extended middle fingers from drivers, and a "Bronx Cheer" from a little old lady. Support for our position was running about 3 to 1. For every three gestures of support, we received 1 gesture of annoyance. What was highly noticable was that none of the people who were against us looked even remotely happy, while those who supported us were smiling and happy.

We were joined during the day by several teenagers, who seemed to enjoy themselves, although they did get a little rambunctious at times. Another woman and her daughter showed up, along with a cardboard cutout of George W. Bush. It was good to see the young kids come out and get involved.

One woman who was driving by stopped her car, pointed at the FRN Banner and ordered us to take it down because it was "rude", another woman stopped her car and told us "Hillary is the best thing that ever happened to me" (I shuddered at the sadness of that statement). Another individual drove by and yelled "Why dont'you all go to Texas, that's where all the other a$$holes are!".

One woman was coming out of the parking lot, and was slowly making her way around the corner, when she held up her signed copy of Lying HerStory - so I asked her if it was her "cross for warding off Good."

I was interviewed by KOMO News Radio 1000, by a very hostile reporter. I was asked a series of loaded questions, which I answered as best as I could. For example, when she asked "Why do you dislike Hillary?", I replied that it wasn't that I disliked her, I just didn't trust her. When asked what my opinion of her book was, I replied that "It is a Weapon of Mass Distortion". Other media outlets that showed up were Q-13 Fox, News Tribune, Everett Herald, and a Latin Newspaper, the name of which I forge, which interviewed a spanish-speaking man who had shown up.

During the FReep, I heard some minor commotion behind me, and I noticed a man harrassing one of the elderly ladies who was attending this event. He was confronting her, giving her a hard time, and I saw that she was very nervous and uncomfortable. Myself and another individual got this guy's attention and he was led away from her. Of all the people he chose to target, he chose the defensless one, whom he apparently felt he could intimidate. It was a sickening display, and it was only through the most amazing display of restraint that the other guy was able to control his temper when dealing with this leftist.

Later, there was some commotion down in the Book Signing Line, as police escorted an individual down along the line and made him remove his "NO LANDMINES" sign from the event - apparently this guy figured "The rules don't apply to me". I bet he was shocked when he was escorted away. "WHa...? Why is this happening to me?".

Around 1:00 PM, when the event was scheduled to be over, we thought about going out to lunch, but decided that we shoudl stick around and hope to get a glimpse of the Hillary Motorcade. We were in luck, as Hillary's Motorcade drove by us as she was leaving - within a few feet of the curb we were standing on. She was in the lead vehicle, looking at us, the signs, and the Devil who has been following her, and she was wearing sunglasses and a scowl that could break rocks...

After the FReep, we headed off to Cocoa's for lunch, with some of the other people who had come to the event - guys we hope will soon become FReepers. One of the guys videotaped the entire FReep, which hopefully we will get a copy of soon. On our way to Cocoa's, we were stopped by a Bicycle Cop who thanked us for being so well-behaved.

The people who attended this event today were clever, funny, and seemed to really have a good time - there were so many clever one-liners in response to the liberals, that I wish I could remember even half of them. I'll let others tell their version of events, as I'm sure I missed a lot... including the names of a few of the other FReepers who showed up (and boy, am I embarrassed about that...)

Here is the KING 5 video with the Seattle woman who cries because Hillary is just "so beautiful"...if you can stomach it. : )

Pictures are now live here and announced here at: Puget Sound Chapter FReeps Hillary - After-Action Photo Report

I added my report to that thread too... :0)

Great report, Chad!!

It is funny about the people leaving the event. You'd think that having just been face-to-face with their idol/goddess/savior/whatever there would have been some expression other than a scowl on their face. But it was the faces on our protest line that were the happy, cheery ones.

Thanks for Freeping and for your report - wish I could have attended!

"What was highly noticable was that none of the people who were against us looked even remotely happy, while those who supported us were smiling and happy."

This has been my experience at each of the three Freeps I have been to.....
