WASHINGTON - Civil liberties groups and politicians raised the prospect Sunday that FBI (news - web sites) monitoring of anti-war protesters could stifle legitimate dissent and jeopardize people's First Amendment right to speak their mind. "What is the chilling effect that will be felt by Americans all across the country if they think they will come under FBI scrutiny just by going to a protest?" said Anthony Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites). An FBI official on Sunday denied any effort to collect intelligence on people exercising their rights to free speech. The...

. PROOF that GEORGE SOROSIS USINGForeign Monies to Influence anAMERICAN ELECTION! Recently, he pledged $10 million to a new Democratic group devoted to defeating Bush in 2004. Soros's gift will be the largest single political donation from an individual in history, surpassing the $7 million check that film producer Haim Saban gave the Democratic party in 2002. "I've come to the conclusion that one can do a lot more about the issues I care about by changing the government than by pushing the issues," Soros told Fortune magazine recently. It's not clear whether Soros can, in fact, change the government,...

Appeasenik protests time travel field trip Between the punchdown.org March and April protests exhibit and the Wrong ANSWER rally in DC, there was too much stupidity going on in the world to fit in one Caption-A-Rama! I’m afraid I’ll break one of JimRob’s servers or something. This week we’ll advance the field trip up to Portugal (Romania through Yemen next week, I promise), and also I’ve got a bunch of ANSWER stuff, but there’ll be more of that next week, too. Now, get your gas mask firmly in place, and let’s go see some appeaseniks! LebanonNote the sign on the...

On Saturday, October 25th, several thousand people protested in San Francisco, the largest demonstration in the Bay Area since April 12th. It was a sister demonstration to one occurring that same day in Washington, D.C. While the protest was purportedly against the presence of American troops in Iraq, those stumbling onto the protest by accident might be forgiven for thinking it was really against Israel. The Palestinian flags scattered liberally among the crowd, the keffiyehs on many of the organizers, the plethora of speakers from pro-Palestinian organizations - all the evidence indicates the protest organizers want the Jews out of...

I returned from Washington, D.C., late Saturday night after a whirlwind trip in which I drove 800 miles within a twenty-four hour period. I joined other patriots in our nation's capitol as it came under renewed assault from the anti-American, communist-backed group known as A.N.S.W.E.R. Now why on earth would I drive so far, leaving the comforts of my home, simply to be verbally assaulted by a group of left-wing wackos? The answer is simple: I made this trip to show my support for our President, our troops, and our country. I also made this trip to show the nation...

International ANSWER, which co-organized last Saturday's Washington protest, now openly admits that it wants "the Iraqi anti-colonial resistance" -- which, as Michael Totten points out, apparently consists of "three primary groups[:] Saddam’s Baathist remnants, local theocratic Islamists, and foreign foot soldiers for Al Qaeda" -- to win: The anti-war movement here and around the world must give its unconditional support to the Iraqi anti-colonial resistance. Yup, that's right. They fully admit it: They want people to give unconditional support to our nation's enemies, and a particularly evil set of enemies at that. (What do you think will blossom in Iraq...

WASHINGTON -- Emerging from the Metro station onto the National Mall Saturday morning, I saw a beautiful movement to right a vast wrong. Protesters of every age, race, and nationality stood together as one. Their songs were full of joy and their steps punctuated with righteous indignation. They cheerfully exhorted passersby, who joined the cause, impassioned by the spectacle before them. In that moment it seemed a great evil could be vanquished, and truth prevail. The seeds of Utopia took root. The sun shone down. Oh yeah, and a bunch of dirty hippies and black-masked anarchists were holding their own...

Anyone watching this? All I hear is profanties about President Bush and black power, reparations rhetoric.

Chapter of Free Republic would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank all those who helped and participated in the Freedom Rally Against Terror and Tyranny and the counter demonstration held later in the afternoon in Pershing Park (October 25, 2003). Though our numbers were small, our efforts did not and will not go unnoticed. We would like to give special thanks to our speakers who freely gave their time and energy to this effort. Niger Innis and Curtis Sliwa traveled to D.C. from New York and Bob Dornan delayed a trip to...

<p>WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- The largest anti-war rally in the nation's capital since President Bush announced the end of major combat operations in Iraq was greeted by an equally boisterous, if not as large numerically, group of the president's policy supporters.</p>

Let's keep a single thread on the pics

Here's your eyewitness report from today's successful rally/FReep. From the start, my day was interesting. After getting a shower and dressing, I left my house just south of Alexandria and walked to the Metro station. I wasn't even three blocks from my house when I saw an "anti-war" protester ride by on a bike with poster that was an anti-SUV, anti-war rant. He was on the same Metro train car as I was, but I didn't bother. I got off at Federal Center Metro station, and walked a surprising short distance to the rally site. It was already about 10:15....

Washington D.C. - 10/25/03 Counter-protesters were harassed, threatened, and some assaulted by security personnel of the anti-Iraq Occupation rally (International A.N.S.W.E.R.) before police appeared and relocated the counter-protesters in Washington D.C. today. No arrests were reported, but there was one unconfirmed report of a pregnant female counter-protester being injured in the fracas. The counter-protesters, consisting of members of the web-based ProtestWarrior.com and FreeRepublic.com, arrived at the protest at approximately 1:30PM carry pro-America signs and positioned themselves just north of the stage area on Constitution Avenue, N.W. They had no permit to organize as a group. The counter-protesters stood quietly holding...

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Hundreds of anti-war protesters rallied Saturday in the capital, urging an end to the U.S. occupation of Iraq and demanding that President Bush bring home American troops. Under a bright sun on a cool fall morning, protesters waved anti-war signs as they listened to songs of peace. Some placards read: "Make Jobs Not War," and "Bush is a liar." Organizers predicted more than 30,000 people would turn out for the rally and a march in the afternoon that would circle the White House and the Justice Department. Thousands more were expected later in the day for similar...

It looks like a very sparse and uninspired crowd! Kick ass today Freepers!!
