Spiff from Arizona was there?

Yup! I get around.

Good Job!!! Fox 5 WTTG had some video coverage. Caught Kristinn in a good speel.

[Spiff]

They would have to take out their anger on themselves. They ARE the enemies of our country.

They kept asking some of us why we don't go to Iraq. There was a shrill group of harpies there who would screech that as a chant. My response was that I had to stay home to fight the domestic enemies here, those who are trying to undermine our successful effort in Iraq, those who are aiding and abetting the terrorist insurgents there.

One was quite cruel--he told the woman to her face she would never be a grandmother because of her support for the war

Nothing bad enough can happen to this creep.

[Spiff]

All the local news broadcasts showed the leftist die-in and the FReeper counterprotest. Kristinn was prominent in at least two of the pieces, I didn't see any of the third. Two showed the couple whose son died in Iraq and interviewed one or both of them. One showed some of the nutcase leftists who were madly ranting in our faces. The old hairy gray bearded nutball that looked like he'd been sleeping in the gutter was prominently shown scream unintelligably. Shots of FReepers with flags and signs such as "U.S.A. is not the Enemy", "We Support our Troops' Mission in Iraq", "Cindy Sheehan Does Not Speak for Us", and "Let Our Troops Finish Their Mission" were prominent.

Freepers in the D.C. chapter are doing a great job! Thank you so much for what you do.

Pinging the rest of you to a great thread. :)

I just saw a report on local NewsChannel 8 and thought I saw a familiar face. (I wasn't there last night) Was I correct, Flora?

[kristinn]

Thanks. The Tony Snow Show was there reporting on the 'die-in' and the Freepers. Listen for sound clips today.

Also, I'm scheduled to be on KSFO this morning at 6:35 PDT (9:35 EDT).

[PleaDeal]

Thanks for the pings! And thanks Kristinn et al for a great Freep

[silent_jonny]

Thanks so much for the ping :) A couple that had a son killed in Iraq who came to stand with us took a lot of heat from the leftists. One was quite cruel--he told the woman to her face she would never be a grandmother because of her support for the war.

Kristinn, thank you and the rest of the DC Chapter for standing in the breach and facing these idiots. You have a stronger stomach than I do.
