Shiver along with the D.C. Chapter, FReepers from across the country, other patriotic Americans and Iraqi exiles as C-SPAN broadcasts the Patriots Rally For America IV today at 1:05 p.m.

Recorded yesterday at the cold, fog-shrouded, snow-covered grounds of the Washington Monument, the rally held to support our troops, President Bush and the American policy on Iraq features former Rep. Bob Dornan, Aziz Al-Taee, Blanquita Cullum, John Armor, James Parmelee, Kevin Martin, Adam Ramey and yours truly.

Also featured are singers Cullen Martin, Stephanie Souders and, from Nashville, Lowell Shyette.

The program, if shown in it's entirety, should run three hours and fifteen minutes.

Get some hot chocolate ready, pop some popcorn, put on your red, white and blue sweaters and get ready to root for the home team: the men and women serving in our Armed Forces.

EAGLES UP !!!

I assume you were there yesterday. BRAVO! I sure wish we lived closer to DC... :-(

Though I'm wearing two sweaters and it's 74 degrees in the house, I have GOOSEBUMPS from listening to Mr. Taee's speech. The comparison of Saddam to Jeffry Dahmer was EXCELLENT, the entire speech was POWERFUL!

BTW, guys: the comment that his 'firnd' Saddam can't speak two sentences of Arabic without making a mistake....that was an incredibly scathing insult to Saddam as an alleged member of the Arab world. If he mentions it again in another speech, PLEASE cheer. The effect will be TWICE as devastating, LOL.

"It becomes a massive event when folks like you drop what you're doing and come to D.C. We had the venue, we put up most of the money, we got the speakers, we publicized it, we did everything we could except drive up to your house and pick you up."

Precisely.

[hellinahandcart]

Why don't you plan one BIG successful rally to be held in D.C., with thousands of people in attendance, instead of a bunch of small, piddly ones??

Why is there always some snide do-nothing know-it-all like you that always comes along and craps on the honest efforts of others?

[CounterCounterCulture]

speaking now...

Shalala al-Jabori
Former Iraqi prisoner

We will build a Statue of Liberty in Iraq for liberating us.

PEOPLE YES, SADDAM NO!

[firewalk]

Aziz is an honest man

Yes he is. I mostly caught (paid closer attention to) the end of the interview where he said that Blix was working with Saddam.

[sauropod]

How ya doin? {{{Howlin}}} {{{Abner}}}

[spodefly]

PEOPLE YES, SADDAM NO!

[CounterCounterCulture]

Next speaker...

Muhandis Al-Jazari
Former Iraqi prisoner

Saddam must go!

[Howlin]

Hey, I'm doing great today the sun is out here........and it looks like it is there.......finally!

[RobFromGa]

Why don't you write one BIG powerful post to be put on FR, with thousands of people reading it, instead of a bunch of small, piddly ones?? After that OPUS, you can leave.

[abner]

Good.

I'm watching the rally.

And you?

[Mo1]

Do they have a clue the kind of monster they are rallying for? Do they care in the least about the brutality being committed by him against his people?

My guess is they don't want a clue .. they IMO only care about their agenda ..

[nutmeg]

I have GOOSEBUMPS from listening to Mr. Taee's speech. The comparison of Saddam to Jeffry Dahmer was EXCELLENT, the entire speech was POWERFUL!

Same here... we're sitting here absolutely mesmorized by his words!

[sauropod]

They didn't show him.

But 'Pod's got him on tape ;-).

[Howlin]

Amen. We'll be lucky if it's just one.

[Howlin]

Hmmm.....now that I look again, maybe it's NOT so sunny there......LOL. Stay safe!

[RobFromGa]

Though I'm wearing two sweaters and it's 74 degrees in the house, I have GOOSEBUMPS

There's nothing like the truth...

Free the Iraqi People Now! Long live US! Long live Iraq!

Death to Saddam Hussein!

[hellinahandcart]

I see nothing wrong with some honest criticism, particulary when it is well deserved!!

Please enlighten me and everyone else here as to what the DC Chapter has done in order to "deserve" your criticism, you self-righteous jerk.

[sauropod]

I KNEW Bill Tierney was going to do this. He implied as much on Hannity a few weeks ago.
