Flip Flops for Kerry!
4/19/04 | Go Troops

Posted on 04/19/2004 10:20:19 AM PDT by GoTroops

The lefties had a 'bake back the White House' sale this past weekend, to raise funds for Kerry. This gave me an idea, and I'd like to know what you all think. Why don't we have a 'Kerry flip flops' sale across the country? We could raise some money for Bush, and see if the media covers us like they do the leftie whackos! Watching the news, you'd think no one's supporting Bush. We just haven't learned to organize, and get out there like these guys. If there's one thing we should learn from them, it's that he who screams the loudest, gets heard! I'm thinking about contacting the RNC, but wanted to know what you all think first. Thanks ahead of time for your input!

Time to Go Back on the Offensive -- Immediately!

The Democrat strategy is clear -- keep the focus off Kerry for as long as possible; keep Kerry under the radar and out of the view of voters for as long as possible.  That's what all the Richard Clarke, 9/11 Commission, Condi Rice garbage is all about.  And we have to stop it now...

-- snip --

The only way to win is to set the agenda.  The spotlight must be re-focused on Kerry as soon as possible.  We need to stop letting ourselves get distracted... - jmstein7

I [RonDog] should have a giant version of THIS sign back from the printer soon:

Sandal whappers serenade Kerry


Reporter's Notebook

By Gregory Korte and Cindi Andrews
The Cincinnati Enquirer

John Kerry had seen the tactic before - it emerged on the campaign trail last week - but few others seemed to understand what was going on.

Young Republicans wearing cheap sandals got in the front row and started clapping them together almost as soon as the Democratic presidential candidate took the stage at Sawyer Point on Tuesday.

Their message: that Kerry has flip-flopped on the issues...

Pathetic Kerry Condemns "Rude" GOP Protestors
April 7, 2004

-- snip --
Kerry's playbook is so old and he is so dishonest, it can be infuriating. But there's a simple way to listen to liberals without tearing your hair out, and that is this: everything liberals accuse Bush of, is what they do themselves. So when Kerry talks about the politics of lying, he's telling us what Democrats do. He's identifying his own tactics. As an example, consider Kerry's freak-out at a group of protestors waving flip-flop sandals at Kerry's Cincinnati speech.

As you can hear in the audio link below, this man who protested the Vietnam War and whose party has defined patriotism as requiring dissent, grumbled, "Obviously some young Republicans proving that they are very rude and they have no manners." Oh, the power, my friends! I am paralyzed here with how impressed I am by his retort. Why, what a way to shut them down! Not only calling them "rude" but "very rude!" This is so pathetic!

Op.Infinite Freep: Fresno Support our Troops/President Rally for 04/09/04

Chadworth worked the crowd with his famous layered message board.

He also provided our rally with a HUGE pair of flip-flops to let the Kerry crowd know what to expect from their candidate in the future...

That would be THESE wonderful images:

Rush just played a song parody of Sherry by the Four Seasons, called Kerry won't you flip flop tonight. It was a riot, and would make good background music for all sorts of protests.

D.C. Chapter to Hold 'Viet Cong Vets for Kerry' Bake Sale this Saturday, 4/17/04
D.C. Chapter ^ | Thursday, April 15, 2004 | Kristinn
Posted on 04/15/2004 5:23:17 PM PDT by kristinn

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us this Saturday for our Viet Cong Vets for Kerry bake sale outside Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry's national campaign headquarters.

As a spoof of MoveOnPac's nationwide Kerry bake sales being held on Saturday to 'prove John Kerry is a man of the people,' the D.C. Chapter will be holding our own bake sale to inform the public about Kerry's betrayal of his fellow American servicemen during the Vietnam War.

Items being offered at the Viet Cong Vets for Kerry bake sale will include:

Three Scratches and You're Out Purple Heart Cookies,
Hanoi Hilton Misfortune Cookies,
Jane Fonda Nut Cakes,
Punji Bread Sticks,
Ho Ho Ho Chi Mints, and
Vichyssois.

Free Range Waffles and Kerry Flips Flops will also be offered.

Kerry National Headquarters Sicks Cops on Freepers,
Kristinn to Be On Fox News This Afternoon

D.C. Chapter of FR ^ | 4/17/04 | L_von_Mises
Posted on 04/17/2004 12:03:06 PM PDT by 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.

I've seen Kerry Flip Flops advertised that people can wear on their feet.

Not sure where.

Probably one of the closing blurbs on a Fox News show.
Cool idea.

Many on FR have been promoting the use of Flip-Flops to define Kerry since early March.

The idea has been used in several Rallies & by the DC Chapter.

How about a 'Design Your Own Personal Kerry Flip-Flops' Sale?

Walmart sells colorful flip-flops for $1.75 + tax. For example charge $2.00 a pair and provide black Sharpee markers for customers to add their own Kerry 'I voted for; before I voted against' slogans on various issues!

If a customer doesn't want to spend $2.00 for real flip-flops; provide a paper copy of the following design without text & encourage them to add their own slogan.
