Great pictures of the rally itself. Even during the disturbances, attention was still directed toward the speakers.
Altho some of the infiltrators came to heckle, there were some who did stand and listen for a short time. That was heartening.
There was one guy in his twenties who stopped by. He hadn't taken a stand either way, altho he leaned to the right.(my words) He checked out the different goings-on, liked what he saw in our rally, and wanted to know about Free Republic. I gladly told him how to hookup with us. It's time like that, that really make the day!
Almost all of those "infiltrators" were part of the anti-globalization, anti-World Ban/IMF, and/or anarchists type - mainly white college age kids dressed like "hippies." Very few Muslims from the pro-Palestinian rally actually came over to where we were, though the Park Police prevented some of those marchers from getting too close to us anyway.

I'm also happy to report that despite some very tense arguments that some of our TRT guys had with some of the aforementioned young people from the "other side," there were a few of them who do agree with our staunch support of the U.S. Constitution, our right to go after the terrorists and our fundamental loyalty and patriotism to America.
Sorry I didn't make it over to chat with you yesterday. I did see that you all were usually busy at the tables. As you probably noticed, most of our TRT guys stood towards the back of the crowd, as somewhat of a "rear guard", during the rally.
