FReep Report: Cynthia McKinney's Veterans Town Hall Meeting May 18, 2002

Anchorwoman: "The congresswoman was not available for comment" (with maybe a touch of a "dry" tone).

Nothing makes my "fraud detector" go off faster than a public figure who won't talk in public- I mean, that is their job, to be a glad-hander. If they won't do that, they aren't fit for office.

[DeaconRed]

Yes they are republican dogs.
How do I know?
Here is why!
A man passed a roadside stand where a fellow had set up a stand selling puppies. He had a sign that said, "Democrat puppies FOR SALE". The man bought one of the puppies. Two weeks later he drove by and the man had the sign reading: "Republican dogs FOR SALE". The man stopped and asked the fellow why they are now Republican dogs and just two weeks ago they were Democrat puppies.
The man said: Because they opened their EYES

[DeaconRed]

Thanks
I miss Atlanta.

Those present were: Me (FreedomPoster); RobFromGa and his lovely twin freeperette daughters (7? 8? years old); AFVetGal; "Be not afraid!"; dansangel; .45MAN; WhiskeyPapa; Apple Pan Dowdy; and later, Atlantian

Thanks to the Atlanta FReepers for doing the heavy-lifting and thanks to you, FP, for a great report. For those of you who may have FReeped for the first time, I know how you feel. Great! Right? Looks like you had loads of fun, too.

[WhiskeyPapa]

Outstanding sitrep, FP! Thanks for being our awesome 'fearless' leader. And, I do mean fearless. You walked right into the RATs' nest without backup and without backing down. I was so proud!

Absolute dittos on that. FreedomPoster had the perfect demeanor and old time religious fervor to really be the lead in getting out the message.

I noticed though that when Billy McKinney was just warming to his rant, that the chanting led by AFvetgal made him just turn and walk away.

I haven't scanned the whole thread, but it should be remembered that those two McKinney supporters went inside and made a point to come back out to insult and confront us.

But it was a great job by everybody!

[WhiskeyPapa]

The veterans among us didn't really want to go in, and the rest felt we should leave it to the veterans.

I sre didn't want to go inside. It didn't even -occur- to me to go inside.

Many thanks to you and your fellow Georgia Freepers for your efforts. This daughter, sister, grand-daughter and niece of vets salutes you!

[RobbyS]

Politics can be fun!

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Excellent! Outstanding! Well Done! The last thing the socialists want is to see is FREEPERS in the street. It was so typical that you were called rascist. When you publicly state your grievances to a leftist (no matter what their skin color), you will be called a rascist.

[A Navy Vet]

Proud of you folks for defending our Veterans against this obvious exploitation. Well done!

Let us know what your plans are for Memorial Day...

"AMERICA REMEMBERS": VetsCor/FRN Memorial Day Project

National Cemeteries, Memorial Day Ceremonies, & Military Installation Locators

"AMERICA REMEMBERS": Sample Promotion Letter - Please Send Out

National Moment of Remembrance

National Military Appreciation Month

[buffyt]

She only cares about veteran's votes, that is all....

[FreedomPoster]

LOL! Yeah, right. heheh

I just watched the tapes again this AM; my wife hadn't seen the one from the NBC/Channel 11, 11PM news. There is NO DOUBT that we got more camera time on this than Cynthia. Another WOOO-HOOOO!!

[FreedomPoster]

BTW, I've already been told by the legislative director for the Ga VFW that she *won't* be getting a recommendation from their PAC. . . . .

Imagine that! < /sarcasm>

[lodwick]

Excellent FReep. Thank you All!

[sauropod]

Very good. I would have had a simple sign that says "Cynthia McKinny is a racist bigot! Ask me why."

His Royal Podness.

[Jen]

Oh yes! I think this group would be a good nucleus for getting the Atlanta Area Chapter active again. We all talked about the 'next' freep or meeting.

[Jen]

Hahahaha! Good dog joke.

[Jen]

I noticed though that when Billy McKinney was just warming to his rant, that the chanting led by AFvetgal made him just turn and walk away.

Well, I had heard all of his #%$* that I could stand and Fox News was videoing the whole exchange, and I didn't want a clip of him ranting on us to be the only thing shown on the news.

We gotta practice yelling LOUD, or get a bullhorn. Better yet, do both! hehehehe Jen

[backhoe]

FWIW, I emailed this to Boortz- let's see if he picks it up.

[Jen]

Good for you! Thanks, Jen
