Sorry, I couldn't make it this time.
Why? - I melt - bad hair day - dog ate my map - ahhhh, I'm a bad man.
Be careful guys.
Thanks, SAHM, for doing the thread.
Are you all freeping there every weekend?
I'm not able to be on site today, but tgslTakoma reported to me that there were 17 FReepers, et al. there and one more arrived before we finished our conversation. We have 18 at Rummy's house and more attendees are on their way.
It was noisy already and the FReepers were busy getting tgslTakoma's MOABs in place. Won't Brian Becker be surprised when he marches and the MOAB comes into view? LOL!
The MOAB (Mother Of All Banners) is two-sided and looks very impressive. I can't wait to see the pictures.
Thanks for doing the honors for the DC Chapter again today with the live thread. We really appreciate your efforts.
On Scene Report #2 - Marylander reports from this morning at LaFayette Park:
As directed by the authorities, the five FReepers were across the street from the Park, on the north side, away from the White House. Freeper chants included Why call it ANSWER? Its the Workers World Party and ANSWER supports Nick Bergs killers! This latter chant really upset the leftists.
About a hundred of the ANSWER crowd left their program to watch the FReepers. They mostly restricted themselves to disorganized shouting, but one man came across and asked Marylander to read a book he had. Marylander responded that she would read his book if if would carry her American flag back into the ANSWER protest. He refused. Marylander was carrying a Stay True sign that read, Never Forget! and had pictures of the burning World Trade Center towers, of the American contractor hanging on the bridge, and of Nick Berg just before decapitation. The man hit Marylanders sign a couple times with his book. Kristinn told him that was assault and talked him into going away. Kristinn and Dr Raoul also talked to a young woman who came across, but for the most part it seems to have been a shouting match only.
Rummy says, "Talk to the hand !!!"
You all rock.
Mark for later read.
Good Job. Please tell everyone and you also to be careful. Sounds like the lefties like to resort to violence.

(Spelling is off, I know. It is getting very LOUD down there!)
Freeper chants I can hear: Four More Years! A chant started by the Iraqui amputees: God Bless Free Iraq!
The MOAB (Mother Of All Banners) reads: God Bless Our Soldiers, Liberating the World One Tyrant at A Time.
The main ANSWER contingent just arrived. More to follow...
The battle is joined. Those are very close quarters on Kalorama. The police will do a good job of protecting them.
Buford, you're on your own!
Good luck! DC FReepers rock!
On Scene Report #4 - more from Marylander: Today our Freepers are stationed about two houses down from Rumsfelds. Also on the scene with the FReepers are a lurker or two and a lurker to be, No Frills son, who was born in Iraq and is translating for the five Iraqi men being interviewed by CNN.
Stay Trues signs include Rumsfeld YES, Al Zarqawi NO with pictures of both and another sign with a picture of Osama that says, My Best Friends are the American Left.
The main ANSWER contingent was preceded by five cheerleaders. Marylander said someone else would have to describe the appearance of these odd-looking creatures. Waiting for the next call...
Go get'em DC!
Wow, that's a good crowd of freepers...some real heavy hitters, too. I hope the commies know what they're in for.
Hooray for the DC chapter!!
Awesome reporting -- and a great turnout for FReepers, Lurkers and Friends. Kudos to the Iraqis who braved the anti-war throngs to tell the truth about Saddam and the war in Iraq.
Awesome!
Excellent reporting. Thanks to the DC chapter.
