As the link to Newsmax indicates, and as discussed in this post, it appears that C-SPAN will not be covering our counterprotest. No sense confusing things by hearing from patriotic veterans and Iraqi dissidents, is there!

DISARM SADDAM -- IT'S THE MOST PEACEFUL THING TO DO.

(Anyone else want to give us their phone number so that we can do multiple reports from multiple sources in the field if necessary? -- Freepmail me in the next 15 minutes if you can be available 9-11 a.m. EST to do this. Thanks.)

STOP BY A BUMP THE FUNDRAISER THREAD

[Trueblackman]

Well I am getting ready to leave to join my fellow Freepers and support our troops. I am ready to change a few hearts and minds, but peacefully and tactfully

[netmilsmom]

Go!!!! If I had the money for a couple of tanks of gas, I'd be there!

[kristinn]

Mustang, looks like a case of the right hand not knowing what the leftbhand is doing. We'll keep this thread and I'll call reports to you. Others can call into to Pippin.

Turn on MSNBC now, they are scheduled to do a live interview with Joel Kernoble of MOVE-OUT! this hour.

[Too_Bad]

Amazing how CSPAN is scheduled to air the protest live
and then repeat it TWICE this evening without finding
time on their schedule to squeeze in the Patriots Rally.

[RaceBannon]

Good Hunting!!

Have fun folks, we're here to support you.

And we must not forget Ramsey Clark
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=29524

Sock puppet for Saddam?
The founder of the IAC and director for A.N.S.W.E.R. is Ramsey Clark, who is introduced at IAC rallies as the former attorney general under the Lyndon Johnson administration. No mention is made of the fact that Clark, in his current occupation, has been retained by the State of Iraq to serve as legal counsel for the regime.

Is there some way, with instructions, to participate in FR threads with an AIM type device?

as you watch the news coverage of today's anti-war protestors, remember these people (see NYTimes link below) and that they know what's coming and have said their good-byes, tallyho ...rto

Tears Are the Rule of the Day as an American Armada Leaves

January 18, 2003 By CHARLIE LeDUFF

In the biggest local deployment since the 1990-91 Gulf war buildup, some 10,000 sailors and marines left San Diego on Friday.

"The way I see it, no one is changing their living habits," Sergeant Hall, a long, tall straightforward man, said. "No one is preparing for war or going with less."

[Timesink]

Any clues as to how many unwashed-hair types are actually going to show up? Given that it's only about 16° in Washington right now, with a wind chill of 4°, I somehow doubt they're going to get anywhere near the 100,000 Moron March they've been predicting.

NEVER FORGET

...We sure miss you're not being on C-SPAN's ..'Washington Journal'.. this time around that just showed how cold it looks out there for you on the D.C. Mall.

...But that's OK, smile big for the Washington Times for us, OK..?

NEVER FORGET

FOX and FRIENDS NOT FRIENDS of DC FREEPERS.
They are ONLY mentioning the anti war protestors.
Once again FOX joins the ranks of the biased media.

The TOP headline on AOL this morning:

Antiwar Classic Updated For Iraq

As protesters march on DC, Daisy ad returns. See It

Of course, there's no balance. And just like the link above, the link on AOL itself doesn't work.

End of SITREP 1

These "peace" protestors give me a royal pain. Where were they when Clinton was bombing all over the world?

They're a bunch of hacks for Democrats. They don't care two twits about peace. They want to get their commie friends, RATS elected.

Caught an interview with Kristin on the local radio (AM 630) last night - Free Republic was also mentioned. I'd like to come down but am off to my son's wrestling meet. Stay warm and give 'em hell, but tactfully of course!
