"Give Petraeus a Chance!" St. Paul, MN after-action report of 9/15/07 anti-war march
True North ^ | 9-15-07 | Brad Carlson

Posted on 09/16/2007 6:13:08 PM PDT by Minnesocold

As WAMM and other communist anti-war groups assembled at the Cathedral of St. Paul Saturday, over 25 counter-protesters gathered
at nearby Triangle Park. The lefties didn't think of getting this prime section of space, spanning two long corners alongside their parade route.
MN Freepers joined forces with TrueNorth activists, who are gathering folks to counterprotest kooks at next year's RNC Convention.

On the steps of the cathedral, leftists displayed their wares...

their signs...

and their fake coffin, and readied to march.

Kitty-corner, we readied our signs and bullhorns and greeted the marchers as they slithered by.





Highlights:

• Several dozen moonbats asking how we defined victory, scowling when our reply was defeating the enemy, the enemy surrendering, or just plain NOT LOSING.
• Stealing their thunder as photographers aimed lenses away from them over to us.
• Jim with his megaphone, guiding us in his parody, "Give Petraeus a Chance." (watch it here.)

And our #1 Highlight: Meeting and capturing "Raging Protester Guy"on film!

Photos can be viewed here

And Brad's priceless videos and AAR here.

We missed ya, ButThree - but the year is young and we’ll be planning other fun activities as we gear up for the RNC convention next year.

Sorry you weren't there to behold the sights, Mpls.Conservative! I was standing next to Leo when Raging Protest Guy let loose. Brad came running over to catch him on tape.

His vein-popping face bore a striking resemblance to Islamic Rage Boy...

Oh, man, I didn't know this was going on......

I could've been there......!

Drove down Snelling in the Highland area today and moonbats had signs out.

Just shook my head.

Mis-guided ding-a-lings.

You would have enjoyed the display, LiveFree. True North will post future leftist events/opportunities and I’ll put the word out at the MN Forum. This is just a preview of the fun we’ll have in 2008!

Thanks, Wayne! We'll never outnumber the kooks here, but we'll always have opportunities to expose 'em on film. That's our ultimate goal.

I'm still waiting on Jim's lyrics, but in the meantime, crank up your volume and enjoy him singing
"Give Petraeus a Chance!"

Yes Sir, add me to that ping list. That ‘Win The War’ sign should be front page for every newspaper, and being I got to see it here, I won’t have to wait for eternity to see it in a newspaper around Rochester. Not that I buy trash.

Great job! Love the “[v-sign]=victory; victory=peace” sign. May we copy it for Walter Reed FReeps?

I'd be honored you used it. I created the signs and can e-mail them to you in PDF format. FReepmail me with an email that takes attachments.

By Jim (honorary FReeper & mega-songwriter)

Everybody's talkin' about
Bagdad, your mad, I am sad, Bush is bad,
we were had, Cheney's glad, this is rad, where's our dad,

All we are saying, is give Petraeus a chance
All we are saying, is give Petraeus a chance

Everybody's talkin' about
Revolution, evolution, gee we need a real solution.
United Nations, congratulations, you filled the air with flatulations.

All we are saying, is give Petraeus a chance
All we are saying, is give Petraeus a chance

Let me tell you now
Everybody's talkin' about
Hill and Bill, Gore the pill, Barack Obama, where's Osama,
move on, George Soros, lack of morals, code pink, Politics is going to stink

All we are saying, is give Petraeus a chance
All we are saying, is give Petraeus a chance

Oh, let's stick to it
Everybody's talkin' about
Facism, Racism, America's a discraceism. We're the bad guy,
Iraq is a big lie, our land is a pig sty. We don't know why.

All we are saying, is give Petraeus a chance
All we are saying, is give Petraeus a chance

One more time!
Everybody's talkin' about
Prisionors, his and hers, pranksters, gangsters, losers and snoozers,
IED, XYZ, now I have to take a pee.

All we are saying, is give Petraeus a chance
All we are saying, is give Petraeus a chance
