Kristinn , saw you on C-Span, fantastic...Very disspointed about
c-span not covering the rally live. Seems like the networks all but ignored the rally ...
figures... Everybody did a fantastic job.....Wish I could have attended.
I was working at Lejeune all week and was dog tired by friday.
I did get to greet the 26th MEU coming back from Afganistan.

"The typo police reported at least five typos in the article. My humble apologies."

what tipos? I ain't seen none. Tak bak that opollogy! Ain't not seen eny gramma misteaks neither!

I have a dream wish -- That C-Span would have had a little box in the top-side of the screen of their TV coverage of the Pali-Rally. That little box would have been coverage of our rally -- (something like a split screen). We wouldn't have even needed sound -- just our images -- to show those watching C-Span the difference between the two.

Talking about images, I will have many lasting images and memories of our rally. Aside from all that has already been said, that fantastic patriotic music at the beginning is one. It gave me goose bumps. But the funniest memory has to be the calvary, and the stalwart, dedicated Freepers on Potty-War duty!! LOL!

Thank you for the report.........Thank you for all the efforts in pulling off a difficult challenge. Saw Angelwood on CNN. Read the few/sparse paragraphs, provided as tokens at the end of many other articles concerning the leftist rallies. Cannot imagine how difficult it was for the 400 brave souls to stomach the gauntlet of just getting there!!! Great job!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Feiny]

I will be in DC in 2 weeks to visit family members. I wish I could have been there for this...you guys are the best!

[Straight Vermonter]

You guys in DC are first rate. As someone who lives in the heart of liberal America I know ho difficult it is to stand up in the face of overwhelming numbers. Kudos to you all.

"B-1" gave a good old fashioned "stemwinder" such that a significant number of "those other people" tried to come over and break up our rally. Thanks to the Mounted Park Police.

Proof if any more were needed that quality triumphs over quantity every time.

This is not the Race Bannon I know! Where is that brawling, pickup truck throwing (I know I saw the video, but!), Ann Coulter worshipping (WE'RE NOT WORTHY!) emphatically large, and pronounced man about the East Coast, Big Race?

Eh Heh!

Regards,

[openotherend]

Bump for freedom! Thank you, kristinn!

[Dutchy]

I hope not a repetitive ping....

"It just means that enough of them, mostly Muslims among them, are decent enough to respect our rights and protect us from the worst of their crowd."

Their very religion is ANTI personal rights, so, that couldn't be the reason. Perhaps the reason they 'defended you', is they know they're skating on very thin ice, here...

[tomkat]

color me waspish...

Perhaps the reason they 'defended you', is they know they're skating on very thin ice, here...

...and a few of them must know that they're not the only ones with videocams and lawyers.

for the a$$holes that sponsor 'em,
no money / no marchey !

[monkeywrench]

Bttt! Or the terrorists that sponser them. NO terror/Before it's time.

I would like to introduce a brand new word to the D.C. police, and that word is "barricade." The NYPD would never have let a small rally be invaded and overwhelmed by a colossally larger one. When I told that to one of the cops, he asked me why I didn't go back to New York. Shortly after that, the cops in charge were on their radios and the Park Police arrived.

We never should have been endangered that way. Unless they take a few lesons from the Finest, I would not go to another small rally surrounded by a huge one in D.C.

Thank you for everything you did, and that great interview on TV. The amount of effort and expertise you folks put into that rally was tremendous.

[ruoflaw]

Great job...and thank you so much!

[RobFromGa]

Eagles Up, Kristinn.

Excellent job. Hope to meet you and other Patriots from the DC chapter at a future event. You make us proud.
