KALIFORNIA KOLLEGE KAMPUS KOOKS VS. DAVID HOROWITZ AND FREE REPUBLIC

[Cinnamon Girl]

Noon time rally at University of California Long Beach. David Horowitz, invited by the College Republicans, spoke about why we should support our president and our troops.

On a grassy knoll at the rear of the crowd, the angry and the ignorant gathered with drums and signs that read: "BUSH IS STUPID," "BUSH IS RETARDED," "BU-- SH--!" "NO BLOOD FOR OIL," ETC. They chanted "Bull sh--!" and "Racist" (which I guess applies to any Republican or person who supports President Bush) while David Horowitz talked about human rights atrocities in the Sudan, Iraq, North Korea, and asked why the "No War" nuts weren't upset about any of that.

In case anyone reading this didn't get the memo, these "anti-war" protesters are really ANTI-BUSH. (please read their signs when BobJ posts them tonight.) And they aren't interested in any honest debate. They shouted over David Horowitz and Shawn Steel, who spoke afterward.

Part two of the memo is that the protesters are ANTI-AMERICA. They booed when Horowitz said that, but one girl was holding an upside down American flag with industry symbols in place of the stars. And another American flag sign read "the people are sheep" and "land of the pigs."

One old guy was walking around with a sign advertising the communist radio station Pacifica and explaining to anyone who would listen that Bush was appointed by the Supreme Court.

P.S. Rather than getting busy doing something about gangs and the school system, the LA City Council is discussing their own anti-war declaration.

Well, we need to work up some ideas. I know that Ted can effectively deliver our message in a press conference-like format. Maybe we can do a street drama...I don't know. We have a month to finalize our event. Let's get thinking.

Did anyone hear Ted Hayes' interview on Radio FR last night? If so, how was it?

I missed it. :(

Although I did so for a good cause, as I was promoting our rally with the pro-Second Amendment crowd over in Culver City at Mr. B's monthly ATF night.

Here is a thread by someone who DID hear Ted, though:

WARNING: this is a vanity post, a rambling collection of thoughts coalesced during the past few days of concentrated reading and musing at FR. With deference to Luis Gonzalez and JohnHuang2, excellent essayists unique to FreeRepublic—so far, I will try to maintain a degree of coherence while I entice in their venue.

Thursday night on Radio FR, Doug From Upland had a great one-hour interview with Ted Hayes, the very articulate activist devoting his life to championing the plight of homeless Americans, and I suspect, especially homeless military vets. [I didn’t catch the entire hour, so I may have missed his affirmation of that notion...]

Doug's interview with Ted should be posted online PERMANENTLY in the Radio FR archive - so that ANYONE can listen to it via streaming audio - in a week or two...

Thanks for the info and for promoting the L.A. Marathon March Against Terrorism with Ted Hayes. I'll definitely be there, along with my new friends from FR.
