Thank you, guys for organizing and leading this wonderful FReep. This was my first one and I loved it. I love engaging with the peaceniks.
It was great meeting our FReepers and Americans who love America.
More importantly, we need to really thank SFPD for their manificent effort to protect our freedom of speech. The fact that they stood in front of us--in between us and the "retreads"--was greatly needed. I saw a few officers push, I mean really push, those peaceniks back when they got too close to us.
I am going to writing a personal letter to each of the two officers listed above. If you guys have any more names or addresses, please list them.
When Mrs. HRTC thanked one of the officers at the end of our rally for being there, he said, "Thank YOU."

Why do we tolerate the left wing anti American demonstrations to get out of hand? I am thinking primarily of Hollywood and their gang. These people do not even have the command of the English language, if you do not believe me just watch TV with all of the foul language.

Hello Fellow Freedom Loving People!
This is Mar & Carl checking in..back home from our first protest as Freepers in the Bay Area counter rally today. Thanks to all of the great people we met and we hope to see you again soon!
It is almost amazing the degree of degeneracy amongst the anti-war hateniks. Seeing the hate in their eyes and hearts can be frightening but it is comforting to know that there are others like us who are on the right side of history.
See you soon! God Bless America!

Did we have fun or what? I was just starting to decompress, made the mistake of watching the 11 O'clock news here in Sacramento and opening my Freepmail. Mainstream media coverage or not, it was just great knowing you all were there and that we had our day in the sun.
Now, an object lesson for Bay Area Freepers, new and old alike. This is especially for those of you who will be helping Cinnamon with the new San Francisco Chapter. There will always be those who sit at home watching television, who will fire up the p.c. out of sheer boredom, and log into Free Republic. Then they will run across a serious question (See link below) posed by a new Freeper, who is naive enough to be unaware of the flame wars that light up Free Republic often. Oh... the keyboard warrior's wisdom will begin to flow and the uninitiated will wonder just what the heck they did to start family genocide! I can offer only one humble bit of advice: Don't buy into it. Those who were so busy fighting cyber logic wars today, missed the whole point of what many of us were doing all over this country this weekend. They don't get, YOU DO!! God bless you, God Bless America and goodnight fellow patriots!
Why can't we pull similar numbers?

Thank you to those FReepers and FRiends who made the long trek to the City. We appreciated your presence. Thank you comwatch and flagbrigade for bringing your FRiends. Thank you KSFO listeners. Welcoming you to Free Republic. : )
THANK YOU KSFO Radio hosts David Gold, Lee Rodgers and Melanie Morgan, Brian Wilson, and Barbara Simpson for your help in getting the word out. There were a number of people there today who heard about the FReep thanks to the KSFO announcements. (Didn't hear the interviews on David's show - busy FReeping, ya know. ; )) But, heard part of Barbara's show, and she was very encouraging for FReepers to let her know about up-coming events. (BTW, FYI, heard that the Lefties may be on the march again March 1, so heads up FReepers.)
A special thank you to the SFPD - please see post #55 (thanks comwatch!) FReepers and please send a note of thanks. Thank you. (They certainly had their hands full today.) Today they were really great in the way they watched out for our safety. Much appreciation.
Grateful for the good weather.
I noticed some of the usual Lefties with their usual "in your face" tactics of being confrontational with some of our group to make for photo-ops.
Thank you again everyone! @60 people - whoo-hoo! : ) Although, it's seem like we didn't get much Media coverage, we know we were there!

I had a lot of fun out there today. Looking forward to the next one. I arrived at the Bart station just in time to see the beginning of the follow up idiocy. I hope all those 'families' were proud to be associated with that group.
Did anyone see the KPIX coverage (I think it was them). They were interviewing VFW members about the war. First there was a group of 4 well spoken veterans who support Bush, but in order to get veterans for the other side, they had to interview two drunks in a bar.

Wow! Thanks for the great pix, comwatch. My family lives in SF and even though my 85 year old mother has been infected with the liberal virus, she was appalled by the anti-war crowd. More realistic coverage of their actions - plus the sight of all those lovely Freepers as a contrast - will let folks know what this is really all about.

I love the fact that the Fry Mumia signs are apparently taking off across the nation. Having one of those signs at the counter protests drives the hard core left crazy.
Trust me. 'Pod

Greetings comwatch, FReepers, et al:
Great San Fan FReep, drive a stake into the heart of the liberal beast. Loved the "No More Leftist Trash" slogan emblazed upon the trash can lid!

Thanks AP
Caught a glimpse of Cool Guy arguing with (i.e., educating) some dirtbags on KGO's 11 o'clock newscast, but other than that, it was wall-to-wall dirtbag coverage from what I saw.

Just checking back in again after posting this thread. I just want to thank a few people...
Thanks for all the nice comments from supporters across the country...
Thanks comwatch for really getting the ball rolling with the media outreach and general organizing. You are truly a force of nature and we were lucky to have you and the other Sacto folks helping us out! Also, thanks for posting the great photos! I may have some to add to the collection within a couple of days.
Thanks to flagbrigade and friends for bringing along the beautiful flags and banners! We held up "GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS" and "NO PEACE FOR TERRORISTS" with pride, plus they made a good barrier between us and the stinky peaceniks!
Thanks to the SFPD for being our bodyguards! I plan on calling to thank them and I encourage any and all to do the same.
Thanks to the hosts of KSFO and KFBK (David Gold, Mark Williams, Barbara Simpson, Melanie Morgan, Brian Wilson, and more) who helped us get the word out! When we work together, we all benefit.
And of course, thanks to all the FReepers and folks who helped make this counter-protest the biggest one yet! Hope to see you all next time...

Good photos there. Note to all: pix 8 and 9 on that page show one of the anti-Americans in handcuffs moments after being arrested for accusing one of our guys (with the camcorder in #9) a CIA agent and lunging at him with a Sharpie marker. Fortunately, the ink came right off the lens.

Just heard on RUSH -- .0417 of the world's population protested Sat. -- less than five one hundredths of a per cent world wide protested against USA Sat, [and they only gave aid and comfort to Hussein. They encouraged him]

Hey! We saw this coverage too and made the same point amongst ourselves. They never stop until they find people to support their side.
