Peacenik's dirty trick at Anchorage rally goes too far.

Free Republic | 15 Feb 03 | SENTINEL

[SENTINEL]

I regret to inform you fellow Freepers about an incident that occurred today while I was peacefully (but stoutly) counter demonstrating the filthy peacenicks. I charged right in, by myself because I was the only counter protester, into a crowd of 300 or so and gave them a good solid piece of my Marine Gulf Vet mind with my 10 watt megaphone. The local news then asked to interview me and I agreed. I proudly held my sign that stated that "peaceniks are parasites of freedom", adorned with the Free Republic logo in front of me. During the the very calm and thoughtful interview I noticed that one of the peaceniks had adorned herself in a very fancy KKK "ghost" outfit and was standing immediately behind and to the side of me in the camera frame. The insinuation of course is that I'm a member, and the video and pictures will be used against both myself and I'm sorry to predict, Free Republic.

I'm really sorry, guys, I'm devastated to know that I could have caused some harm to FR. I'm really sorry.

Maybe we have enough of a head start to block some of the predictable outcome of this.

You are on record now.

I was spit on down here in Oregon by a bongo playing peacenik.

[WOSG]

Sentinel, you did no wrong.

remember, the guy with the KKK outfit was on THEIR side.


It should tell you something.

[SENTINEL]

Kudos to you for not mowing him down. Getting spit on is a serious adrenaline raising event. Thanks for going out. Not everyone did.

[Normal4me]

Thank you for your stand!

[Deepest South]

If you get another chance just let it be known that you were totally shocked that racists in KKK garb were protesting for peace. " That guy, h@!! no he wasn't with me. I served in Vietnam with . . . " Then let the peace crowd figure out how to counter that.

[Interesting Times]

Not your fault...

If the bad guys try to use this against you, let us know and we'll help set the record straight.

FRegards,

I think you will find this of interest.

Robert Service would have been proud of you. As would other Dawson/Alaska cheechakos including Wyatt Earp, Klondike Kate and the Mizner brothers. I salute you!

[StormEye]

Just ask Fox News to superimpose Sen Robert Byrd's
(Dem. West Virginia) face on the head of the guy.
After all it could be him...

[dennisw]

You did great!!!!

[SENTINEL]

I ripped of your sign, but I did put it to good use !

I tried to improve upon the statement but could not.

I was going to go with "Peaceniks Unworthy of Freedom" until I saw this pic on another thread.

Would not the KKK be isolationist enough to not support the war and be right along with the hippies?

[BenLurkin]

Here's how you look on "Yahoo"

[The Raven]

I'm sorry we can't round up a few million ourselves.....they hit the newspapers and tilt public opinion incorrectly.

Dont fret,All THINGS come to peaceniks in THERE end!

[SENTINEL]

Local channel 11 just ran the clip and showed me with the fake KKK dude. It was worse than I could have imagined. They did not however show the FR logo. Now I'm really pissed.

I hope God will forgive my thoughts...

Maybe it actually was you know who...

Don't sweat it, the truth will come out.
