Operation Infinite FReep - DC After Action Report

"That's funny, I didn't see you on CNN protesting then."

Beauty. A two-by-four upside the head! Nice job!

LOSERS will be made to look like fools as soon as America sends in the troops, takes control of Iraq with little bloodshed to our side, and DETHRONES SODOM in 48-72 hours!!

Yup, remember how they said Afghanistan would be a quagmire? Saddam's military won't stay loyal for long.

Hmm, it's not just that you have jobs. It's that you, and we, are these weirdo fanatics that want to run the world. People came from all over to try to place themselves in *charge* of American foreign policy. I think the right suffers less from delusions of grandeur.

Again, not to take *anything* away from LisaFab's excellent reporting, I think there will be an official DC Chapter report with photographs.

The after-action report won't happen until later today because the DC Chapter is mostly still out there protesting today. (I'm not -- prior engagement to babysit the niece.)

But that's not to say, LisaFab, that your report is not *fabulous.* Hmm, she may be out there with the guys today. Not sure. The Freeping does continue today here in DC.

Hell, I'd be willing to pay to have TBM on the shows. Ditto all our wonderful conservatives who appear and carry the flag for us.

Thanks for the ping, Lisa!

BRAVO once again to you and the DC Chapter for bravely countering the brainwashed & unwashed mob yesterday! Thank you also to Bob Dornan, Curtis Sliwa and his Guardian Angels, Veterans and other counter-protesters.

I'm sorry we could not join you, but we were already committed to a Washington DC trip for CPAC - we were unable to make the long trip twice in one month.

THANK YOU, Patriots... nutmeg & zelig

Exit, you looked GREAT in that Reuters photo! THANK YOU for being there... not an easy feat to travel that far, then stand out in sub-freezing weather for hours countering those brainwashed & unwashed masses. I sure wish CPAC was being held this weekend... we could've joined you in the counter-rally.

KUDOS... nutmeg & zelig

Thanks for posting the pictures!

[lainie]

Great pictures! Wish I wasn't 3,000 miles away. We were with you in spirit.

[AGreatPer]

Thank you for the pictures. They are great. Question:

I see the police tape. Was that a protected zone for the Freepers?

[FreeTheHostages]

Actually, as FOXNEWS indicates, there's more protests outside the White House today.

Thanks, I will save them...Did you see exit148 in the pictures yesterday at the counter protest in DC?

I see the police tape. Was that a protected zone for the Freepers?

We originally were spread out further up the block with a line of police officers betwen us and them. They then began to try to flank us by going up the sidewalk and the Guardian Angels stopped that along with more police.

As the parade went on they kept pushing further and further and the police made a decision to push us down the block a little further and put up the police tape to make it unquestionable that they were not to try to cross that line. They also put the tape in fron of us at that time. Throughout the parade they kept trying every excuse to get to us.

You can see the original line in the first picture of the counter-protest. Note the Guardian angels in the red jackets.

I found it pretty ironic that we were the ones being protected from the loving, peacuful ones. Whenever they shouted curses and flipped me the bird I would just yell back how I felt their love. That seemed to piss them off pretty good and they usually just moved on.

As an aside, behind us was a Korean Deli with plent of hot coffee and a bathroom. It was also a good place to warm up when we needed it. The owners couldn't have been nicer. Plus they had good sandwiches at good prices. Another perk for being on the right side.
