Kerry National Headquarters Sics Cops on Freepers, Kristinn to Be On Fox News - On Now

D.C. Chapter of FR ^ | 4/17/04 | L_von_Mises

[L_Von_Mises]

The DC Chapter of Free Republic set up a Viet-Cong Vets for Kerry bake sale in front of Democrat Presidential candidate John Kerry's national headquarters in Washington DC this afternoon. The Kerry campaign responded by calling the D.C. police to shut down the bake sale.

When the D.C. police arrived they ordered the DC Chapter to shut down the protest in 15 minutes or they would ticket them for occupying a public space without a permit. At that point the police would then disperse them themselves.

Due to the short notice, and the fact that it would be a small group, the DC Chapter did not apply for a permit.

Kristinn is scheduled to appear on Fox News this afternoon for an in-studio interview. The interview should air sometime between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm today. As more details become available, they will posted here.

Kudos to those that attended. The honor roll is Kristinn, Angelwood, TGSLTakoma, TBP, Trueblackman, and Staytrue.

Here is the link to the original announcement about the bake sale

Did you get the impression the cop was for or agin' Kerry?

If I were a DC cop and I got a complaint about you guys, drove up and read that "Viet CONG Vets for Kerry" sign, I'd have a difficult time keeping the face straight.

[GretchenEE]

Boney, you just cut right to it all the time.

kristinn, can you get ahold of a copy of all the laws and codes regulating demonstrations in the DC area to have on hand when a Kerry scaremonger calls for police backup and intimidation?

[GretchenEE]

Did Carol I. list all the bake sale items, or just a few?

[GretchenEE]

Y'all don't look very intimidated in those photos.

How many cop cars did they dispatch?

[GretchenEE]

I love this one.John Kerry "Hero" Sandwich
On Wonder Bread
No Substance, Just Filler
Loaded with Baloney

[TBP]

Love the photos of the food items and the names, especially "Ho Chi Mints," "Tossed Medal Salad," and "Pecan Sandinista Cookies." Who came up with those names?

The latter two come from a conversation between Kristinn and me yesterday. The Ho Chi Minhts idea was floating around, but the spelling was mine.

Not that it matters. The other stuff was from other FReepers. When we put our heads together, we are a genius.

I am watching America's Most Wanted on KTVU (Oakland/San Francisco) and on the same night that Israel blew away another Hamas chief, they used the MorOn.org bake sale as a promo for the evening newscast.

[L.N. Smithee]

"Why thank you, Katie, I'm fatter...er, flattered!"

[L.N. Smithee]

How about, "I am not FONDA John Kerry!"

[JulieRNR21]

She just mentioned the Jane Fonda Nuts Bars & the Kerry Flip-Flops but they showed the whole table with many items....the humor was clearly appreciated.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Wow. That was mean-spirited, you guys. Blocking the entire sidewalk like that and making John Kerry feel bad about being a liar and an indecisive liberal nut.

Way to go.

[TBP]

"Viet-Cong Vets for Kerry"

Black, of course.

[TBP]

More information than we needed to know, Raoul.

[RonDog]

Yes...Carol Iovanna enjoyed making her report....
big grin when she announced the items for sale!
Also nice video of the table full of goodies.

It was great to hear DC Chapter of FreeRepublic.com reported as the group responding to MoveOn.org!

Just in case the nice folks from FOX News are reading this thread...

Thank you for the kind words, Carol!

We like YOU, too! :o)

J. F'n Kerry is NOT antiwar. He's pro-war and for allowing communists to win wars.

I want to help with this bake sale

REALLY? Did some CATS cast members really do this? Was it approved by -- oh, whatever powers that be in Jax? Did they have THEIR permit to sell/fundraise? H'mmm.

[ladyinred]

This proves that the DC Freepers are being effective if they are scared of a lil ole bake sale!

Way to go DC Freepers! You continue to amaze!

[ladyinred]

Did you see this? Kerry doesn't even like cookies!

Thanks for the info, RonDog, for those of us who've been out.

hey, fv, here's something for you to enjoy after a long, hard day. The original thread was hilaryous: FR brainstorming at its witty, inspired best in response to the latest moveon nonsense. Kerry on!
