[Xthe17th]

Thanks to the hard work and perseverance of kristinn and other DC Chapter FReepers, Free Republic got a lot of PUBLICITY all over the nation this weekend. This was due to press releases, faxes and phone calls informing the media of our counterprotests of the bussed-in anti-american leftist scum which polluted the nations capital yesterday and today.

I ran the story and mentioned FR a couple of times when I did the news on WJAS Pittsburgh this morning. It's fun giving the lefties I work with wedgies.

Plus whenever I do the news - since I unapologetically use stories with a conservative tilt - the station gets calls from the soclialists who've listened and got their shorts all bunched up as well.

TEE HEE!

One story that got them going this morning was the Scott Ritter scandal. Lots claimed it was disinfo passed to me because I work closely with the W administration and Big Oil Guys (yeah RIGHT...like I'm a Bushie!)

Everytime I'm on I do stories that makes the loonie left got nutz. Thing is it's SOooo easy! All you have to do is tell the truth!

I also get in hits on the peacenik, anti Iraq war, stiff as a board traffic gal. This morning I asked her how many times she'd been tagged and released.

Took shots at Hollyweird types as well. I asked the morning host (Local radio legend Jack Bogut) about blimps being banned from the Super Bowl, then said I guess that means Rosie O'Donut won't be there. Bogut is a BIG pignoramous and Ellen Degenerate fan so it really irks him when I say stuff like that.

In his world every day is bright and sunny. I swear he NEVER says anything bad about anyone (except me - he calls me the resident mushroom farmer). If he was talking about Osama Bin Laden he'd say something like..."Say what you will but the man grows a GREAT beard!"

Radio...it used to be fun...still is but for WAY different reasons!

Did y'all see this?

The man holding the "N" in the HUMAN SHIELDS picture is a retired fireman and Korea-era Air Force veteran named Ed Nemchek who, though not a posting FReeper, has attended various FR functions in NY and DC.

Had a great time freezing with you yesterday Jeff. Come on to NY on February 15 and we'll FReep em again (harder,harder!).

[Henrietta]

please take me off ping list.

Nina0113 is holding the Pacifists Are The Parasites of Freedom sign.

Brava, Nina! Maybe I'll see you at the March for Life, again.

Here's a ping

[Ronaldus Magnus]

Please pardon any duplicates and just LMK if you want on or off my state ping lists.

Internet etiquette tip: The polite thing to do would be to ask people if they would like to be on your ping list before putting them on it. Please take me off this list and refrain from putting me on any others without my permission.

Dutchy and NYC GOP Chick will be organizing the NYC freep for February 15th.

Congratulations, DC freepers and all who traveled to DC! You really did us all proud this time (again)!

[LisaFab]

Great! I got two more guys who I talked to about DC that are dying to go to the NY FReep!

Details when available please.

[firebrand]

One of them will be posting a thread soon.

"T"man...How goes it, Captain? The USN is well represented when your underway on a DC FReep!

kristinn...thanks for the opportunity to relay some of your onsight reports to the thread. (I missed to post your late afternoon update...I got'a get another phone line)...

Working along with the DC Chapter, (even via land/cell line from Florida), is always a hoot!

btw, Taxman...."show up" numbers do not reflect the pulse of our fellow Patriots across these fruited plains. Those American haters, leftist socialists and misinformed of the democRAT voting base, are, without a doubt, THE minority.

We're still on the less vocal side, but carry a big ass load of mega kicking silent majority votes.

Mustang sends w/ Best FReegards.

This is terrific! Thank you for the ping.

Here are a few of my pics from the Friday night dinner, rally and 'Rosie Ruiz' Peace March. (Hint: many marchers took the subway to avoid the frigid climes.)

Anyone have extra chalk?

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Will see if I can clear it with JV's sister-in-law.

Putting people on "ping lists" without having been requested to do so is JUST PLAIN RUDE.

Take me off!
