We didn't see any tourists go out and join the other side :-)
Thanks go out to: the Maryland TRT for 'plan B'; James Parmalee of NorthernVirgianiaGOP.com for helping to get the word out about today; and special thanks to Sean Hannity, whose mention of our demonstration on his newly syndicated radio show yesterday brought out dozens of people from up and down the East Coast.
I left out many details, such as signs and conversations, so please add your observations and comments.
EAGLES UP !!!
I absolutely loved the counter-demonstration against that rowdy bunch of protesters. I appears that the protesters were totally knocked out of whack by this group of Freepers with extreme effectiveness. :-)
This Commie/anarchist crowd needs to get a life and figure out why we must do something about Osama bin Laden and his looney thugs. :-P
I would like to see us outnumber them next time.
They sure seemed like a confused bunch.
UNITED WE STAND
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
We came, we saw, we "kicked butt"!!
DC Chapter FReepers (with a little bit of help from others and the TRT) RULES!!!
You really "rolled" yesterday!
wish I lived closer. You know, the sad part is, these yahoos have the right to do this, and it has to be that way if we want to live in a free country. The really bad part is that these idiots are vigilant and militant, where a lot of normal Americans aren't anymore. And they are never portrayed as the anti-capitalist, communists, anarchists, wackos, etc. that they are. They are always portrayed as simple people who want to protest against war, while the true patriots and protectors of our constitutional way of life are given little airtime, little press coverage, and are misquoted or represented falsely in that coverage. The price of a free society is eternal vigilance, and most of America has forgotten that. While the dog sleeps fat, happy and well fed, the rats will carry off his dish.
Did you think you would have gotten the same warm reception from the woman that replaced him?
