"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't choke anyone who claims to have read this thread (and the posts showing our tremendously successful rallies in the past against these protestors which clearly have never been pro-global), and yet can't give us one ounce of credit for figuring out what's going on in our back yard."
I sincerely believe some folks are worried about our presence conceivably riling the Left...folks actually believe there's a hidden trove of RATS out there that we need to avoid gettin' worked up. And I think a lotta folks have never seen how good-natured the DeeCee FReepers are--in addition to being honorable patriots--and how this cheery determination and steadfastness wins over the crowd and the legal authorities.
"Oh, and give me one good reason why Brat -- after claiming he was going to march with THEM because he was anti-IMF and World Bank too -- totally shut up after I posted from their website showing they were no such thing."
I had a li'l chat with brat, too, but I'd prefer allowing him/her to speak fer himself/herself. Sometimes folks would rather walk away from a thread than admit that their prior words were spoken with less than a full understanding of the facts in the case.
