COMBINED Live Thread: DC Chapter's Rally in Support of Our Troops / C-SPAN Live Coverage of Leftists
DC Chapter, Free Republic

Posted on 03/15/2003 6:23:04 AM PST by FreeTheHostages

Good morning. It's a beautiful day in the nation's capital, but the beauty is about to be marred by



Their leftist rally would be covered on CSPAN live starting at noon.

As explained here, here, their anti-American voices will not go unchallenged. The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic has invited all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us this Saturday, March 15, from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. as we hold a patriotic counter-protest of the so-called anti-war march being held by IAC-A.N.S.W.E.R. in Washington, D.C.

I'll be staying at home, nursing a cold that has left me voiceless (hee hee, no doubt to the secret pleasure of many chapter members! ;), handling the live thread. Let's do a combined live thread on the C-SPAN coverage of the leftists and my reports from the field on what's going on with the Right guys, OK?

Today's early morning news, if you're waking up, is that some time before 10 a.m. on our local Channel 4 (NBC), our Chapter Warlord, Kristinn, will be interviewed on why we are expressing a support-our-troops message.

While professing to be against war and racism, the groups behind this march have strong overtones of anti-semitism and support communist governments that wage war on their own people and other nations.

The D.C. Chapter will be making a patriotic moral stand against the marchers' anti-Americanism and willful silence about the barbaric, terrorist regime of Saddam Hussein.

We will also be sending a message of support to our men and women in uniform fighting the war on terrorism overseas and on the home-front.

Survivors of Saddam's reign of terror, many of whom are American citizens, will join us to put the lie to those who claim that the Iraqi people do not want to be liberated and to speak out about Saddam's crimes against humanity.

When: Saturday, March 15 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Where: North sidewalk of Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, between 15th Street and 9th Street. Meet at 15th and Penn. at 1 p.m.

Bring: American and Gadsden flags (large and small), along with signs bearing messages supporting our troops, President Bush, America and the war on terror.

Weather: Mostly sunny, temps in the low 60s.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no profanity, no racism, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

Thanks.

As I type this, there's a helicoper circling over what would be the rally site (about a mile south from my south-facing window). Either news helicopter or park police, I can't tell yet.

10 minutes to CSPAN coverage.

I wanna be there! (((((sobs))))

I'm sitting here sipping garlic and cayenne laced chicken broth for my throat and head cold, and getting ready to cook for 2 separate family thingies. I'd rather be in bed or on Pennsylvania Ave with all of you.

C-Span hasn't started yet.

Give 'em h**l, guys - (politely)!

Yeah, CSPAN's still delayed. My cable guide says they shoudl be starting already, but they haven't started broadcasting.

However, the leftist rally has started. I now this because I saw a live shot on CNN in which they were asked to speak about their unexpectedly low turnout. Good. They then did a LIVE SHOT OF THE ATLANTA SUPPORT OUR TROOPS RALLY and gave it at least half the time they have to the anti-war rally!! The Atlanta rally hasn't even started and they had a good crowd shot.

CNN then MENTIONED THE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS RALLY FOR PHILADELPHIA TOMORROW! This broadcast was at about 12:20 p.m. EST. Good stuff.

It's currently scheduled for rebroadcast at 8 p.m. I wonder if CSPAN can't show it live or if they're not able to film it at all.

CSPAN displayed that they were having technical problems at the bottom of the screen from time to time. It's on now.

CNN, eh? Might have to knock the rust off that button on my remote if they're covering the support rallies around the country today. I'm switching from Fox News, so Roger Ailes, take heed! Gotta go with the good stuff today to help innoculate against the distortions and misinformation that's going to be on CSPAN later.

The zeros are on now. Why do I call them zeros? Because they have no message, just hate for America and are obsessed with turnout numbers. So take their estimated turnout, multiply it by zero and what do you get?
