I've been listening to Glenn since he first signed on WLFA 6+ years ago, after they fired the ultra-lib Bob Lassiter. He's been crying since I first heard him. He's a very emotional guy. Says it started when his handicapped daughter was born. His tough guy image left right then. I love it. Most women I know do. We wish our husbands were more compassionate :-)
That said, I am very thankful that he started these rallies.
I am also very thankful that he's got a national voice now.
We were fortunate to get to drive him and his wife and producer and HIS wife home to Brandon from our local Republican Lincoln Day Dinner last year in Bradenton, FL. It was a GREAT hour of one on one and we learned that he's really a very shy guy. Or at least he was then. It was his first speech that night. He has come a LONG way since then. I thought that was a great speech that couldn't be topped. I was wrong. He out did himself Saturday. I am so glad we were able to attend. I would not have missed it for the world.
I had a TALL sign that had big photos of the WTC burning with the words THEY STARTED THE WAR on one side and HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN on the other. A woman approached me with a picture of her son who died in that tragedy. She pointed to the floor he was on and cried "there was no way out for him and no trace was ever found of him". I felt so bad for her.
My husband also had a TALL sign that read
SIDE ONE) PEACENIKS, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN CLINTON WAS BOMBING THE ASPIRIN FACTORY?
SIDE TWO) OH YEAH, HIS WAR WAS LEGIT, HE NEEDED A MEDIA DIVERSION FOR HIS LEWINSKY DEPOSITION
My husband stood the entire rally in the back, in front of the "peace rioters". Nothing peaceful about them.
They were TICKED about his sign and made several threats against him until some veterans threatened to (
*%@*%) them.
It was a great day.
Cant wait to get my pics back
Got a lot of video footage too.
