A just got off the phone with a good friend from the Old North State (NC) Chapter of FRee Republic who joined a small group in FReeping a "Peace" Fundraiser organized by the usual characters. As the NC FReepers are driving to their homes, they asked if I could start the thread for them. ------------------ Here is some background information from another thread (link above)
Benjamin speaker for fundraiser [Code Pink's Medea Benjamin] North Carolina, Sept 16 herald-sun.com ^ | Sept. 1, 2005

CARRBORO -- Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink and a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, will be the featured speaker at a fundraising event for the NC Peace & Justice Coalition at the ArtsCenter Sept. 16.
The event, titled, "Send the Youth to DC, Not Iraq," begins at 8 p.m. It's designed to raise money to help send 2000 North Carolinians to an anti-war march in Washington.
The performance lineup of musicians, dancers and poets includes MC Pandemonium, Boxcar Bertha and The Fruit of Labor Singing Ensemble
Tickets are $12 for adults, $5 for students, and are on sale mow at www.artscenterlive.org.
-------------------------
OK, so here is what went down. First of all, there were about 75 libs at this thing (including the bands, the dancers, and the organizers.) There is NO WAY that this event could possibly have paid for itself (do the math) let alone raised money. (Could this be a lib money laundering scheme?)
The NC FReepers checked out the event site, looked at art on exhibit, and got a sense of the event. They also left some pink flyers in the flyer rack. The flyers provided some factual information on Code Pink and related organizations, and included a special greeting for Mrs. Benjamin. Then they went outside to a nearby table to wait for the "moonbats" to finish. The bats were serving alchohol and dancing around. There were about a dozen guys - the majority of the attendees were of the female orientation.
After a while the bats discovered the flyers and figured out that the group at the table outside might not actually be fellow libs, so the bats began assigning shifts of moonbats to listen to the FReepers' conversation.
It became clear to the FReepers that the Bats wanted to stage a parade through Franklin St, the main street of Chapel Hill, where the University of NC is located. However, the bats only had white bandanas and one crudely made banner, while the FReepers had a large American Flag and several well made signs.
Now the rally was held in a facility near (below) a "Y" junction in the road. A perpendicular road (Franklin St) crossed the top of the "Y". The FReepers, familiar with the area positioned themselves right at the crotch of the Y, knowing that the bats would have to walk past that point to get to Franklin St, where there was a potential audience for their antics. (The other direction, toward the bottom of the Y was simply quiet residential housing with no possibility of crowds or media (or MEDEA) presence.
The FReepers had a white board with which they attempted communication with the bats. Since the bats appeared to not have a flag, the FReepers using their white board, inquired whether the bats flag had already been burned? The other FReepers held up signs that said simply "Support the Troops..." and "...And Their Mission".
Now the bats quickly figured out that if they tried to march (or dance, or whatever they do) up to Franklin St, that the FReepers would simply walk ahead of them, holding the "Support the Troops" "and Their Mission" signs. The Bats were stuck...
(to be continued...)
Part 2:
The Moonbats, having been outflanked by the 3 Freepers decided that they would demonstrate their peace "march"to the FReepers as their primary audience (along with any unsuspecting pedestrians). The scene reminded the FReepers of a tentative Mardi Gras, with mildly innebriated and logically impaired moonbats milling about the streets blocking traffic and demonstrating why the permitting process is not necessarily a bad thing. The official
Performers led the formation with guests awkwardly and sheepishly falling in behind, as the little troupe waged peace on the residential area.
One particularly strident young gent got in the face of the FReepers and ranted with reckless abandon to the hazards of traffic behind him. To his good fortune, four out-of-uniform marines home from Iraq between tours of duty, helped him to safety, and in the process thanked the FReepers for their support. The marines were apparently thrilled toi see that a modest expression of truth had evaded the thouight police and gotten past the PC gates of Chapel Hill!
The Old North State Freepers look forward to more outflanking in the future!
How cleverly you freeped! Good Job!
Taxman Bravo Zulu!
BTW - I was born in CH and went to school there (Class of '77) but I can hardly find my way around any more.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

P.S. Your choice of words in Part 1 of the report is great... you got them in the crotch (of the road) and then they didn't know what to do.
It always amazes me that just a couple of folks standing in opposition to the preaceniks' antics can turn them into such hysterical pipsqueaks. Thanks for the report.
If I may:
Medea
By James Hunter
Medea was a devotee of the goddess Hecate, and one of the great sorceresses of the ancient world. She was the daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis, and the granddaughter of Helios, the sun god.
King Aeetes' most valuable possession was a golden ram's fleece. When Jason and the crew of the Argo arrived at Colchis seeking the Golden Fleece, Aeetes was unwilling to relinquish it and set Jason a series of seemingly impossible tasks as the price of obtaining it. Medea fell in love with Jason and agreed to use her magic to help him, in return for Jason's promise to marry her.
Jason fled in the Argo after obtaining the golden fleece, taking Medea and her younger brother, Absyrtis, with him. King Aeetes pursued them. In order to delay the pursuit, Medea killed her brother and cut his body into pieces, scattering the parts behind the ship. The pursuers had to stop and collect Absyrtis' dismembered body in order to give it proper burial, and so Jason, Medea and the Argonauts escaped.
After the Argo returned safely to Iolcus, Jason's home, Medea continued using her sorcery. She restored the youth of Jason's aged father, Aeson, by cutting his throat and filling his body with a magical potion. She then offered to do the same for Pelias the king of Iolcus who had usurped Aeson's throne. She tricked Pelias' daughters into killing him, but left the corpse without any youth-restoring potion.
After the murder of Pelias, Jason and Medea had to flee Iolcus; they settled next in Corinth. There Medea bore Jason two children before Jason forsook her in order to marry the daughter of Creon, the king of Corinth. Medea got revenge for Jason's desertion by killing the new bride with a poisoned robe and crown which burned the flesh from her body; King Creon died as well when he tried to embrace his dying daughter. Medea fled Corinth in a chariot, drawn by winged dragons, which belonged to her grandfather Helios. She took with her the bodies of her two children, whom she had murdered in order to give Jason further pain.
Medea then took refuge with Aegeus, the old king of Athens, having promised him that she would use her magic to enable him to have more children. She married Aegeus and bore him a son, Medus. But Aegeus had another son, Theseus. When Theseus returned to Athens, Medea tried to trick her husband into poisoning him. She was unsuccessful, and had to flee Athens, taking Medus with her. After leaving Athens, Medus became king of the country which was later called Media.

I am proud of my friends. They really did a great job!
I admire your guts and strategy. Yes, you guys did an incredible job!!!
Any luck with this new method?
Sounds like Medea is a self-proclaimed witch. For PC purposes....we can say "Sorceress". She changed her name (which is common among that crowd) to associate herself more closely with who she thinks she is.....and why she thinks she has power to manipulate and control. *shakes head*
Yes, our flyer did mention her Wiccan leanings... :-)
I am proud of my friends. They really did a great job!
Sorry about the studder!
Please, if you got any of THEIR material, send them to me or freeper debbie argel via freepmail. thanks, grandma mac
Great FReep guys! I doesn't take a whole lot to upset their apple cart, does it!
I think I got this idea from one of the DC chapter WRAMC AARs. Or, it could have been across from the ditch witch in Crawford. Does anyone know who started this? They deserve credit.
There were about seventy-five performers in their unwashed horde, and not one flag among them. Oh sure, they had some white pennants they gesticulated wildly with, and a green peace flag (Or is that GreenPeace flag? It was green with the footprint of the great American chicken on it) but no US flag.
These hyenas are so predictable.
