Patriots Rally For America - Live Report

Dave Dilegge - Live From DC | 20 April 2002 | Mustang

[Mustang]

Received two cell calls from Dave. The stage is set. The flags are waving. The weather is great. They're ready to Roll! Around 0945 the crowd was 50+ including Kristinn, sauropod, Leadpenny, Angelwood, Exit 148, GoreWarVet, Dutchy, Congressman Billy Bob, Black Agnes, TaxMan, TGSL DeComa, WhoKnowsWhatEvil, FireBrand, Country Dummy, Stan Waite, Pro2aMom, 0351Dog. (please pardon any mispelled "names" or omissions. The cell connections were poor).

Around 1015 the crowd was continuing to grow, with some spill over from the Peacenik/anarchist nitwits. Dave reports that it was the port-o-potties that attracted them. But our fearless Freepers labelled the doors "Patriots" and Patriot Women". It seems to be turning them away.

More to follow. Mustang sends from Florida.

CSPAN is going to rerun THEIR rally at about 8 EST.....you should watch. It will be night and day from what you saw. Thanks for going for those of us who couldn't.

Thanks! Typical slant, huh? That's what the reporters always did at end of our rallies; only mention was at the end when disbanding and "only three people and a dog were there for Bush." We finally learned to all leave en masse! Well, at least it was mentioned. I've been flipping channels all afternoon and now I missed what will probably be the only coverage; maybe they'll replay. Angelwood is such a great representative!

[KantianBurke]

Some great posters that were shown:

This sign killed a tree

All we're saying is give beer a chance

Welcome Taliban stragglers

Lefty dreams come true (pic of this idiot rap group that had an album cover of te WTC blowing up

Al Quada All your base belong to us! (my favorite)

Impeach McKinney

Angelwood? was carrying a sign "Anthrax from Iraq, Hiroshima to Baghdad"

Peace is 2 WTC towers, USS Cole, the Pentagon and two Embassy buildings too late

Anyone remember others?

Everyone seems to be missing the point of today's typical garden variety, Marxist rally in Washington. It's in response to last week's pro-Israel rally in Washington.

C-SPAN and the cable networks covered that rally, which is why they didn't have any coverage of the FReeper group today. I'm not even quite sure why Kristinn's rally didn't make themselves part of last week's group, since having such a tiny turn-out today makes the "pro-America" group look unsupported.

Great to hear it, re the video streaming. We NEED it when the lib liars are saying there are 60 FReepers when there are hundreds. Our Armed Forces in harm's way would benefit from seeing that stream too, I'm sure.

It would be technically easy enough to do, right? Let's please "make it so" in the future for these type of events. The world would SEE that the media, including C-SPAN, is lying.

Brian Lamb no longer even pretends to be objective or fair minded. All callers attacking America and the President are allowed to ramble on with their lies and distortions and democrats calling in on the republican line are especially welcome.

 ENTANGLING ALLIANCES

AND

UNASSIMILATED IMMIGRATION

Dear Mr. President:

Forget Tenney, Mitchell, Saudi, Sharon, WTO, Amnesty. It's time for the Houdini Plan.   Just disappear from foreign problems, withdraw our aid, arms, troops and negotiators from everywhere in the world and build fortress America. Play no favorites and we will have no enemies.

Fox News about to do a report,"From the Streets of Washington".

This should be interesting.

[mdittmar]

Ahh,the "King of Handcuffs",my idol as a kid,when I used to do "magic".

Sorry for the duplicate. (But since you like Houdini - maybe President Bush will too)

Rally Update:

Last speaker seems to be our friend from Judicial Watch, Larry Klayman..(he aslo spoke at our MFJ rally in '98).

Dave reports that the Capitol Police Chief personally thanked him and our Rally organizers for conducting a well mannered rally. The Chief stated his Officers took alot of grief from the "Peace" radicals. The Chief had to call-up his reaction squad. We gave the police bottled water. The "Peace" nitwits spit upon them.

Dave also reports that our Rally site is being cleand up and pristine. The radical's site is trashed and looks like a war zone.

It's starting to rain in DC and the Rally is winding down. As an aside, in my last update I stated this would be my last. It will not. I'll have one last post update from Dave in about 20 minutes.

Mustang sends from Florida. Another one, one, to follow.

But our fearless Freepers labelled the doors "Patriots" and Patriot Women".

How about "Patriots" and "Patri-ettes"?

Have a good Freep! Get dem rag'eds.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

John fixes those for us automagically now!

We are looking at doing our first complete "remodel" and equipment upgrade to the studio with which RFR is affiliated, to the tune of about 30k. In addition, we will need another 10-20k in developmental funds (website, marketing, admin etc.) to be able to take the concept to the public. The camera and network/internet baord will be around 5k, not including the laptop. Adding 2 more cameras and a switcher will be quite a bit more. It can be done, but it will be pricey. The question is if we will have enough events to justify the expense.

[Deb]

I think you mean "Tenet". Another MENSA reject.

[StarFan]

I had no idea and I thank you for sharing it.
