How impressive! And to think it's in the Bay Area, at that! Congratulations, and keep up the good work.

S.F. Ping!!!! It was great to be with everyone today. STL, thanks for all your work organizing this rally. When we got home, we saw the Channel 7 report. They (of course) sugar coated the people there (Oh, there were parents and children). They didn't show the Che Guevara signs or the one sign which said "Assassinate Bush". I wish we had taken a picture of that one.

Well done, SF FReepers! What a great crowd... I'm so proud of ALL the FReepers around the country who got out to support America this weekend.

Hey, it sure was great to see everyone today. Sorry I couldn't come to the post-FReep roundtable but I just had too much to do today. What a great turnout! Thanks to all who helped publicize our FReep, STL and comwatch and whoever else helped out. It is so great what a difference a relative few people can make at one of these deals. I have to think that at least a few of the more moderate "anti-war" types saw us and then saw the riff-raff in front of us and thought to themselves (if not consciously then maybe in the back of their mind somewhere) why are these other guys so much more reasonable and honorable than our side? I know from my own experience that one of the things that kept me questioning the lefty catechism I was surrounded by for so long was the meanness of so many of the educated and "successful" lefties and the amount of loser scum the left attracts. Anyway, I'll bet the cops were glad we were there. And we were glad we were there. So if the lefties didn't benefit from our presence, well, too bad.

My favorite quote from someone of the other side was this one guy who came across the line to our side and started talking to a few of us. There were a few younger folks and another guy in his 40's or so (originally from Canada, he said) on our side and as soon as this lefty walked over I pegged him right away as one of the "New Left" types from the 60's (e.g. a crypto-commie). Mr. Canada asked the guy his affiliation with the protest and he said he was working with A.N.S.W.E.R. (the commie-front organizer group). Mr. Canada started busting on Mr. A.N.S.W.E.R. for A.N.S.W.E.R.'s refusal to let Rabbi Lerner speak. Mr. A.N.S.W.E.R. started backpedalling and I said to him flat-out "Hey, A.N.S.W.E.R., that's a front for the Worker's World Party isn't it?" "Ummm..." said he. "Well, are you a Stalinist?" I asked him. "Uh... not really." was his reply. "Not really"?!? We all started laughing at the guy and then Mr Canada told him to beat it, which he did. Not really! Too funny! Did you beat your wife? Not really. What a maroon!

Excert, from the CoCo times. ContraCosta Times The rest of the article is mostly about how normal the anti-war wackos are...read it if you want. It's too long to waste binarys on.

....Kathleen Willmann of Novato, who stood with other Bush supporters, said she was at a loss to understand the protesters and felt threatened by them.

"How are we going to get rid of these maniacs. I don't understand why they can't see the connection. It's so obvious that Saddam has a connection with terrorism," said Willmann, who donned a Fire Department of New York baseball cap.

"These signs saying 'Assassinate Bush,' these are peaceful activists? I've never felt such rage and anger."....
