Yup Star- Thanks. I just got back and I have to run out the door. We had lots of honks for Bush and for the Vietnam Vets. I got flipped off a couple of times... but more support than not- there was a man waring a Kerry Sticker who stopped to talk with the two vets Iwas with. He took the information and said he would think about it and look on the Internet for the news he had not gotten. AND a there was lady , whose husband kept slowing the car down so she could read my sign-( Vets Against John Kerry)- whose Dad was in Vietnam and she had no idea what we were doing there...they stopped the car and she kept asking me "what did John Kerry Say that you are protesting?"

I thought she was joking... the vets AGAIN came to the rescue to explain that John Kerry was the one who said the soldiers in Vietnam were baby killers...

She looked shocked and then said- "you have changed my mind about John Kerry thank you".

I couldn't believe that she did not know. Gotta Run- more later!

I must have just missed you. I arrived at 3 pm after battling traffic for 45+ min getting there and I stayed until at 4:30. Same experience as you. For every nasty word and/or bird we had at least a dozen or more pro Bush remarks or honks.

Sadly we found that most that were nasty to us with foul language etc. were black.

Whoa!
Amazing story, thanks.

I stopped by this morning around 10 to speak with Mike Fieschko before my wife & I took our daughter to the fair.

I must have just missed you! I got back to the corner around 3 and stayed till about 4:30.

My experience was a little different.
By late afternoon, the NCSU-Miami tailgaters were on the way in and there were a few vulgar fans heckling us (F Bush, Bush s*cks, etc).
Got shot the bird at least 7 or 8 times.

More later.
