Congratulations on Being one of FReeper's Finest!!

"I was standing beside Jimmy Valentine’s brother when a whole bunch of ragtag leftists turned toward us and surged toward a U.S. Park Police line on September 28, 2001, near the Navy Memorial. (OK, actually, I was pretty much hiding behind him at that point.) JVB grew rigid, puffed out his chest, narrowed his eyes, and just beamed this look of intimidation at them while remaining perfectly still, except to calmly say to me out of the corner of his mouth: "They talk tough but they’re chicken." The unwashed gaggle of leftists receded under his gaze. He’s cool under pressure, and he has big broad shoulders, and my boyfriend will deny it, but he was standing next to JVb for security that day. too! (Hee hee. Boy, am I in trouble here.)"

Deservedly so...MUD

BTW...apparently there IS a Jimmy Valentine...wonder if we can git him to post to the Black thread?!

:) Yup, apparently there IS. Or at least a Freepname!! That story about me hiding behind him is TOTALLY true, and Mudboy it's revealing.

Next time anyone says ANSWER's stand behind the war is principled, consider that ANSWER as at the 9/28/2001 anti-war march against the war in Afghanistan!!! They opposed THAT. Believe me, it was a rough crowd that day that came out after THAT war. I still shudder to think of it. So I really really did hide behind JVb.

SO, are you still running high from the Richmond rally? That must have been great.

Thanks from one street fighter to another.
