Report from Boston, Massachusetts: Patriots face to face with Appeaseniks from A.N.S.W.E.R.

[A_Conservative_in_Cambridge]

A brief report from "behind enemy lines" at Park Street, Boston --------------------- A merry band of weather-resistant patriots was on hand this afternoon to greet an Appeasenik rally at Park Street. My Fellow Freepers included Lev the photographer and Aaron the poet. We handed out "FREE IRAQ" posters, an "ANSWER is not the Answer" flyer, and some brilliant propaganda pieces from www.protestwarrior.com (check it out). Most of the appeaseniks didn't know quite what to make of us, but there were about a half-dozen "thugs for peace" [sic], at least one of whom was from ANSWER. The thugs got VERY agitated when we stood backstage behind their "no blood for oil" [sic] banners, holding our Stars & Strips and our "Free Iraq" banners high. One fellow with a blond ponytail and a palestinian flag pin got right in my face and said "You are not welcome here." I replied that I was on public property and did not require a permit from him to stand here. My attempt at friendly conversation was rebuffed with a gruff "f__ your" and he stomped away. However, the Umbrella Lady (I use the term very loosely) was intent on blocking my banner from view, and so she & I proceeded to do a little duet with umbrella, flag, and Free Iraq poster. After a while, my new dance partner saw this wasn't working, and so she attempted to push me away from the backstage area. I complimented her on her counter-counter-protester technique, and asked her if she had learned this at a "nonviolence training" session. This comment REALLY p___ her off, but luckily several flag-wielding patriots arrived just in time to prevent the shedding of innocent blood.

I then attempted to befriend a rather sad-looking gentleman who was selling some soggy "Revolutionary Worker" newspapers. However, he didn't appreciate my a capella rendition of "The Internationale" in French. Hmmm, maybe I'll try it in the key of G next time.

All things considered, a good time was had by all. On the way back to civilization, we chatted with a Boston police officer. He laughted when I asked him which of the protest groups would be paying the bill for police overtime. He also assured us that so-called "civil disobedience" (e.g., blocking streets, blockading entrances to federal buildings) would be dealt with swiftly, and that the perps will spend quality time in a Boston jail for their efforts. We then got in our gas-guzzling 4-door sedan and zoomed over to Harvard Square, where a ROUSING Support the Troops rally was in progress. But that will be a story for another time . . .

From your account, it seems that these leftists have no tolerance for diverse ideas, and are mean-spirited to boot.

Nice work, and welcome to the resistance.

[F.J. Mitchell]

BUMP! and thanks, you did well.

BTTT!

I miss that town so :(

I have fond memories of scorpion bowling in Harvard square...ahh the memories

Glad to see you take the fight to the enemy, I know by personal experiance there are many cells of the WWP and ANSWER in Boston

[Drew68]

I really ought to attend a "peace" rally. They look so entertaining!

[sarasmom]

BTTT for a different lifestyle.
Today, in Florida, it was 15,000 patriots to 12 "anti- whatevers".
Oh well, on the brighter side, I perceive an affirmation of my decision over twenty years ago, to not live north of the Mason-Dixon line,ever again.

Harvard Square = Red Square

Hello CIC -- found out recently that I am being transferred from liberal NYC to hard left Boston next year -- keep that place under control until I get there, okay? Now there will be two Republicans in Mass. It's a start.

...he didn't appreciate my a capella rendition of "The Internationale" in French....

The Brits often use the following words to the Internationale:

The working class/Can lick my a*se;/I've got the Foreman's job at last.

Hi ACIC!

Missed you guys this week. I see you didn't get to the Medford rally, either, though. But you simply CANNOT get away with ending your story with "went off to Harvard Square," and then try and tell us that you're saving the story for "another time"!!

We want DEEE-tails, Cambridge! Some of us have been dreeeeeeeaming about FReeping Harvard Square for the past few weeks ;-)

So pleeeeease -- tell us the Harvard Square story!

[Lev]

So pleeeeease -- tell us the Harvard Square story!

I'm uploading pictures as I type.

Happy...

The Nazi symbol thing is really overboard...

If you havnt noticed there are many beautiful Islamic people in Iraq bonding a new friendship with our troops...

And if you heard the leader of the Iraqi National Congress...you might reconsider...

Islam is not the target...evil and opression is...

I feel tainted when you roll them together and splash this forum with that graphic

But hell, its America...if it greases your wheels go for it

[NH Liberty]

Hi Lev!

Missed you guys today; I didn't get down to Medford this morning, but we might go back next week. But it looks like you weren't there, either. It looks like you were somewhere in Boston "causing trouble" with ACIC ;+)

Please ping me when the photos come up... Thanks.

Well, I haven't exactly had the best experience with the Arab Muslims that have made my neighborhood "oh so nice"/sarcasm, so I hope he keeps posting that graphic.
