Well, my first Freep, were we in for a surprise!! The book-signing was scheduled for 5:30 p.m., we arrived at 4, my son and myself, with our flags and signs. Nobody was there with any flags, just a lineup outside the bookstore that had maybe 100 people in line. We waited for some freepers and people began to read our signs, a few shouted at us, somme were decent and asked questions. WE had Freerepublic.com on the signs, also, which we told people who were asking questions. They were allowing people to go in by numbers when we came at 4:00, people told us she began at 4;, another Hillary LIE, she must have started early to avoid protesters. On the radio all day beforehand, the Lars Larson show, KXL radio, said that KXL would NOT send a reporter out to the site, because Hillary told the press SHE WOULD TAKE NO QUESTIONS from either the press or the public!!!!! At that time, a woman came out who had a book in her hand, she turned out to be Freeper Oceanperch, with her son in a wheelchair, she said she had been #2 to get book signed. She began taking pictures, which she will post late tonight or tomorrow, since she had a 100+ mile drive home to the coast. We finally saw some people across the street with signs and flags, so we went there, turned out NONE of them were Freepers, disappointed but told them all about website. Later one other Freeper came, layoutguru2, talked to him, as the hillary line was dissapating. I gave some young kids some flags, and told them as long as they didn't wave them upside down. They said they would not, but got behind us and did exactly that!!!!! Another man asked them to return the flags to me, since I bought them and give them to the kids in good faith, they refused. I asked them and they refused, I told an officer on a bike, he wouldn't do anything. One boy out of the 3 gave me one back, the others refused, and I told them I was going to send the pics to the news, altho they didn't care. One man I had given a flag to went across the street and waved it upside down and yelled bad Bush things, I yelled at him "thief", that didn't faze him. Then he yelled (across street where the linup was) that Bush killed people in Iraq, I yelled back "yes, but you dems kill BABIES" He shut up, no answer to that one. I was interviewd by Channel 6 KOIN news, but when we heard the broadcast in the car, they only had a woman talking about how wonderful Hillary is. Another radio staion was broadcasting live,KPAM they interviewed the leftists, I asked them why they wouldn't interview both sides!!! A man told me the radio guy would come and interview me, but he never did. It was very peaceful only 3 or 4 bike cops, but the Lars radio show said the Portland Police cost to protect her highness was $10,000 taxpayer money. I didn't see any leftist protesters, the Du site said the anarchists were planning on showing up. But no protesters, which shocked me. As it began to dribble to only a few people on both sides of the street, we decided to go, at 5:30, when the booksigning was SUPPOSED to have taken place,it was almost over!!!!! Besides the news bias, the small experience was enlightening, altho I was disappointed to not have met a few other local Freepers, it is sad that we couldn't have had a better showing. I have pictures, but I don't know how to post, if someone can mail me and post for me to this thread, if you want to see them????

You may want to read this to see a new technique Hillary is using. I think it's the anti bubba technique. He was always late and she is doing it early it would seem.

They have to be on a website then you can link from the website to the FR thread by doing the follow, but replacing the parentheses you see with the symbols < and >.
(img src=" photographswebaddress").
Don't forget the quotation marks. you can use IMG SRC or img src as long as they are both caps or both lower case. Also img src mean image source.

You can't insert the photo from you computer, it has to be on a website/host site.

Ern, I tried to post another time without a host website, another freeper offerred to post for me, I don't now how she did it, but I think I sent her to her personal email addy, then she did right away.
I am puzzled that how she did this without sending them to host site, I am trying to get these up tonight, if I went to host site would have to register, et.

She probably has website of her own and used her site as the host. There are free host sites but I don't have any info on hthem. Just do a google search.

You exposed her as a liar and have revealed her craven avoidance technique.
She exposed herself as a coward by refusing to take questions--to a lot more than 100 people.
A schmuck who sneaks in and out without answering questions or telling the truth about the hours--oh, that's presidential not.
I am sick and tired of people saying I am
somehow a lying sack of liposuction just because
I sneak in and out ducking the eye contact
and stupid questions of the unwashed!

Don't be discouraged, oreolady ... just the thought of FReepers rattles Her Heinous, and she may have thrown many off balance with her change in schedule, but you and your son WERE there, and she knew it ...that makes for a most successful FReep ... seems you outsmarted the smartest woman in the world ... Congratulations!

Thank you for representing Free Republic in Portland! Your group was small but you were effective! Don't let the libs get you down, maybe we get a few more FReepers from you're area to help next time!
