I make sad note that AGreatPer is mentioned in the "she's standing on a box" anecdote. May they both Rest in Peace.
Is Heaven assembling a protest team?
Wonderful tribute to a great American and great Freeper. But I repeat myself...
Oh Kristinn, I would so love to be there Monday. The good Doc inspired our little group here in Missouri and his AAR’s were always the berries. We’ll miss him terribly. Also, thank you Kristinn for all your help over the years.
I find it comforting to think that Doctor Raoul, Tony Snow, BCM, BKO, Congressman BillyBob, AGreatPer, and all the other departed FReepers might be putting a good word for us with the Almighty.
This is really depressing news, Kristinn. Seems like we’ve lost quite a few good Freepers in the last year or so, and Dr. Raoul was one of the best. Prayers for his family, and also for Dr. Raoul’s soul.
There was a great post I remember from the Clinton years. A reporter from CNN was trying to do a story from the White House. Somebody yelled “Hey camera man! Pan down so you can show Clinton’s hand up his a** working his jaw!” . Sounds like something the good Doctor would have done.
Thank you Kristinn for the great tribute to Raoul.
He will be sorely missed as he taught us much. The liberals in this world would go down in flames if we just had a hundred Raouls.
God Bless Raoul and his family

A fitting tribute to Doctor Raoul. Please be sure the family sees this thread.

RIP, Dr. Raoul. You made a difference.
Thanks so much for posting this thread! Doing a Florida ping here as know very many would want to join the tribute to the one and only Dr Raoul.
I did not know Dr. Raoul but had seen his posts long enough that as soon as I saw that name, I knew it was going to be good.
Last week, I received an email from Trooprally and then a call came the next day from Kristinn, both to let me know that a Great American Legend had passed away. Dr. Raoul, a Legend of a Man who loved our Troops and who exercised regularly the freedom they provide!! I first met Dr Raoul on the Cannon bldg. corner in DC back in what seems now ages ago. He seemed impressed that I came all the way from Chicago and with a permit, no less, to stand on the corner for 3 days in support of our Troops. I remember thinking how he sized me up, truly, and then when he began spewing his vast amount of knowledge to me, I knew I must have passed the test.
Dr. Raoul was a fierce supporter of this country and her Troops and he was a man to be reckoned with if you in any way exhibited traitorous behavior toward either!!! His robust unadulterated zest and vigor to take on anyone who defamed our Troops was truly a sight to see. These last couple of years he was no longer around but I kept him on my email list and the emails never bounced back. I understood he had his family to care for and I often thought of him when I sent my scathing emails out about Suzi and the Pinkos or Adam Kokesh and the traitorous IVAW. Somehow I just knew that wherever he was, he enjoyed knowing that the little traitors weren't getting away with their vile charades.
Below is a beautiful tribute to Dr. Raoul written by Kirstinn. Gateway Pundit (thank you Jim!!)posted a short version of Kristinn’s tribute with a beautiful video which truly shows the heart of this great Patriot.

Upon hearing this sad news, I shared with Trooprally and Kristinn that God must have needed help up there straightening out a Pinko lingering in Purgatory!
I know one thing for sure, our Troops welcomed one of their biggest supporters with loving arms!
There will NEVER EVER be another Dr. Raoul. May he rest in peace and may his spirit continue to inspire each of us to fight for those who fight for us!

I am sorry to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace. I recall being at a White House protest in 1999.
Was the time of my life.
I recall doing the Cops Cheer and mocking Nora O’Donnell while she was doing a piece from “the swamp”. We were singing a riff on the battle hymn of the republic which was clearly audible on the report to which she address us as “patriotic” because she simply could not speak to the words.
He will be sorely missed.
WOW...
RIP to a great patriot.
Thank You for sharing this wonderful tribute.
Thanks, Kristinn!
A fitting tribute to a great freeper, one whom we’ll all miss, Dr. Raoul!
Rest in Peace, Dr. Raoul! You have been a great man!
KNEE MAIL UP
Thanks for the ping STT.
Great tribute, Kristin, to the FreepMeister. Godspeed you to Heaven, Dr Raoul and God’s Peace to your loved ones.
The good Doctor, one of the best!
I had the honor of FReeping the WhiteHouse with Dr., Exit148, Angelwood, and many more.
Great Americans.
Thank you, so very much, for posting this tribute to Doctor Raoul. I attended several FR events but I never had the honor of meeting this good man. I recall reading his posts but I’ve learned so much more about him through this tribute. I know he will rest in peace because he was an honest man and a patriot. Condolences to his family and friends. Thank you, Doctor Raoul, for your courage and love of our great country.
