DC Chapter ^ | March 8, 2003 | Angelwood

sounds like its getting hot out there... No mention yet in the ABC News flashes of opposing viewpoints being represented. The crowd estimate was 3000.

pipsqueaks

Good Luck to ya, wish I was there.

If I were there, I'd have a sign that read: "Dykes for Saddam," and I'd be sure to find a FOX TV camera so that poster would be on the evening news. Of course, these pathetic women probably already HAVE a sign like that!!!

[cake_crumb]

"Sounds like a substitute for Nair doing an ad for Bull Dyke Maschosists."

LOL...or a super duper cheap beauty treatment: "Forget wax! Forget mud baths! Just wrap one roll of duct tape around your entire body, let set for 20 minutes, and then PEEL! Instantly removes unwanted hair, blemishes and that tired looking outer layer of skin! It's THAT EASY!!"

Fox Report just mentioned they will have a live report on these nit wits soon

[netmilsmom]

Geez, I have to find a tape that the kids will watch long enough that I can sneak into the bedroom upstairs and watch FOX.
All I can think of is my Lesbian/teacher/flaming liberal/sister getting naked. The whole thing makes me cringe.
Oh help Me. (think of Christmas, think of kittens, think of anything but that)

[MeekOneGOP]

of course, Meekie is bragging about it being 63 in Texas (I'm not sure where he is in Texas)

64 degrees now, Pippin ! . . .

A large gaggle of Code Pink protesters met some Anti-Abortion protesters infiltrating the march and they are standing, arguing in the middle of the street.

I am Tickled Pink by this.

[hellinahandcart]

Somebody had to say it...

[hellinahandcart]

They are showing the Pinkniks on Fox right now.

Medea should avoid profile shots like the plague. That's all I'm saying.

[Mr_Magoo]

I thought I was informed but I have to ask, what is a Raelian womaan??

A hairy liberal with 3 t*ts.

Oh dang I missed it .. I was stuck on c-span and yelling at the TV

[Angelwood]

I just saw the FoxNews report and it was fairly balanced and though it showed more shots of the crowd of pink ladies and men, the message got through -- the protesters weren't against the war, they were against the liberation of Iraq and its women and children.

[hoosiermama]

ROFLOL OH1 The Imagery!

[hellinahandcart]

It is a filmed segment, they will repeat it. It featured:

So much hot pink garb, it look like 5000 Barbies mobilizing for war

Medea Benjamin in profile (again, something she should avoid in future)

An interview with Janeane Garafolo, capped by her claim the Bush admin is the most incompetent ever

A text quote from NOW (who are partially sponsoring these CodePink freaks) to the effect that war in Iraq would hurt Iraqi women, who are afforded more rights and freedoms than their counterparts in other Arab nations

The stunning news that KURDISH women are protesting actiona gainst Saddam as well

And a brief note of sanity at the end, where an Iraqi-American woman said "These women aren't protesting against the war, they're protesting against liberation."

[hellinahandcart]

The coverage was lop-sided in favor of the Pinkniks, but the commentary was the balance--it was clearly from a "what the hell are they thinking?" POV.

[RedWing9]

Angelwood, Please relay to them (although it might be too late) that I am with them in spirit, 70,000+ FReepers are with them in spirit. They ARE NOT alone!

Well I just being gang raped by Iraqi Guards is better then being shot in the head like the Taliban did Huh?

WHERE DO THESE IDIOTS COME FROM .. Grrrrrrrrr

Last Update:

Kristinn said that the march is now over and the Fox estimate of 5,000 was pretty accurate.

Doctor Raoul and tgslTakoma (might have been one other) were assaulted by three protesters who shoved them and got in their face. The police stepped in, gave those guilty of the assaults a stern talking to, but made no arrests. One of the assaulters apologized.

One person was all upset about the chant "WAR SAVED THE JEWS." Her point was that everyone ignored what was going on; but our side pointed out that winning the war did save them.

Kristinn was pointing out a "message of Peace and Love brought to you by the peace protesters." Written in chalk on the street, a protester made his opinion clear: "F*** Bush."

There were a lot of heated arguments between the Pink Peace protesters and the DC Chapter members. The protesters didn't have much response to the fact that Saddam Hussein is responsible for the rapes of women and torture of children.

The protesters were told: "You are all individualists -- you are all wearing PINK!"

A feminist was marching in the protest carrying a box of pots and pans -- we don't know what was in the box.

The FReepers received quite a few attaboys from tourists and people on the streets today.

Were there "naked" Raelians?

[Angelwood]

I didn't see your post until after I spoke with Kristinn, but he'll see your message when he gets home.

They're off to do some more STEALTH freeping. We're having some fun this weekend...and on that note, my lips are sealed. LOL

FReep On!

Shrieking, hair-pulling wimmen in Pink? Or some men they enlisted for that purpose?
