Many were directed to many different rallies. In fairness to the locals and "helpful" types, they couldn't know which support the troop rally was which.
Although it was disappointing to not get to meet all of the HOT FReepers, I really felt that the spread of counter protests hemmed in the hippies. They could not leave their love fest without passing many "We love President Bush" and "Support our Troops" signs, no matter which escape route they attempted to use.
bttt
Ain't that the truth. They couldn't turn in any direction without seeing a sea of flags. How that must have stung them. Lolol
