I'm still sifting through all the photos I took on Saturday, but have begun uploading them to web. So, rather than making everyone wait until I get them all up, here's what I've got so far...
Mounted Park Police before the Patriots rally begins.
When the leftists arrived, at our stage left, the Mounties rode in to keep the peace.
Mounted police watch the lefties.
Park police guard the Patriot Potties.
Iraqi exiles on street corner, left the anti-war marcher speechless
And for those of you who wanted to see the pix of Malik Shabazz strolling along our FReeper-secured perimeter:
New Black Panthers discuss how they will enter the (already in progress) anti-war march.
Shabazz listens to the officer who tells him how to get into the march.
I'm sure that it's just the sun playing tricks on the appearance of the cop's glove.
For those DC Chapter members who are presently being targeted by the One People's Project website owner, study his face; in case you see him hanging out at your trashcans or writing down your tag numbers:
The man behind the One People's Project website.
For the good Doctor (Raoul) and others who love puppets:
Not too many puppets at this march, but here's a couple of folks in costume.
More coming up soon...
Lots of this professionally printed sign in the march
International Socialist Organization spent a lot of capitalist dollars to print a ton of these signs
At least this one is homemade, and without obscenities.
Can you believe that she wanted to use the Patriot Potties?!
Another pre-printed anti-war sign.
This guy entered our rally site with his disruptor buddies.
Unless the dissenting opinion is against the leftist line.
A diversity of signs, but not of faces.
Was that Friendship Heights' ex-mayor carrying this sign?
There were so many pre-printed signs there, it looked like a DNC event!
Well, I have to give him an "A" in spelling, anyway.
More signs to come...
Coming to a city near you, sooner than you may think.
And Hillary! is holding her sign up high, I see.
Jimmy Carter had his sign, too.
Maybe he played the album backwards. Oh, Oh! He means Paul Wellstone
He has a fixation on FR in general and the DC Chapter in particular; he writes a column, if you can call it that, about us and has a photo page of DC Chapter members. The website also has a "Rogue's Gallery" of folks who they really hate... Justice Clarence Thomas, Ann Coulter, Bob Dornan...
I still have a gazillion more photos to upload and link, but will have to do it tomorrow. If anyone wants to post the links to individual FReeper photos from this album, please be my guest. I titled (sort of) the photos in the album.
Saturday was a great day, and it was terrific to see so many old friends and meet new ones, too. I did miss some old friends, but look forward to seeing them at other FReeps upcoming.
Good night, all.
Please add links to yours on this thread, too, if you've got 'em. If not, I hope these will provide some enjoyment.
G'night, guys and gals.
(Ducking)
Haha--
"Embareassed to Be an American".
So, was he? :D
Yes, I know the two in costume were striving to look like Iraqi mothers carrying their murder-by-US-sanctions babies, but all I see is two black-hijabbed potatoes toting sacks of flour.
The stick puppet? Flying potato. With wings.
And that ain't no camel. It's another potato. Sorry to hear we killed it.
This is the last time I'll be using this list, and I apologize if anyone gets double-pinged as a result of my using it now.
