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.

Plus, anybody Xthe17th missed.

God bless y'all -- for standing up for freedom.

BRAVO!

It's great, what y'all are doing. I hope that even bigger turnouts can be had in the future. Perhaps the good (or at least not too bad) press will help in that area.

It makes me even prouder to be on Free Republic, when I see what you FReepers are doing!!

[Phil V.]

OUTSTANDING work, guys & gals!

Way to go!!!

[PokeyJoe]

I'm thinking about moving to DC just so I can join in with all of the fun activities.

More Publicity PINGS )))))))

and of course, DUH, I forgot to mention that our "more or less honorable" Congressman Billybob was also in attendance with a vibrant speaking role at the rally. Thanks J.A.!

Most Excellent. Bravo to the DC Chapter.

To all of you in DC this weekend! This is just too awesome. You all make my little heart skip a beat! Fred Mertz, I can't believe you went all that way. I'm just in awe of all of you for being there for all of us.

Thanks to all of you for standing up for our country!

We couldn't get them to spell our names right three years ago. Two years ago I mentioned FR eight times in an interview with the Globe, no mention, though they did spell my name right.

[lakey]

Thanks for the ping. The DC Chapter is the greatest!!

[patriciaruth]

Associated Press writer David Ho

"When the marchers met another group of demonstrators waiting at Lafayette Park across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, there was a surge of enthusiasm and some began running toward, and over, the barricades blocking that section of the street."

Talk about bias and, in this case, a bald-faced lie! "a surge of enthusiasm" let's state the truth.

"The leftist anti-war protestor viciously attacked the peaceful gathering of Vietnam Veterans who were quietly standing in respect to the United States of America."

The above may be a slight bias, but it is much less biased than the reporter!

Thanks for the ping and the list.

THANK YOU DC FREEPERS. I hope the press realizes that you represent thousands of us.

Great going DC Chapter!

Thanks for the ping X. Appreciate it.

[Doctor Raoul]

The ABC web reporter/editor that put together the page you linked to has NO clue that Kristinn was not an anti war protester, nor one of ANSWER's propoganda human shields.

ANSWER is really spelled ANSWEZ, Act Now to Stop War and End Zionism if you aren't so morally blind that you don't see all the anti-Semetic, pro-Nazi signs in their "peace march".
