Freeper Exclusive: We Stand Against MoveOn/A.N.S.W.E.R. During Bush Visit to Nashville
NRT | 5-27-2004 | NewRome Tacitus

Posted on 05/27/2004 11:38:31 PM PDT by NewRomeTacitus

It was an interesting day in Nashville, Tennessee. While President Bush was here for a technology conference at Vanderbilt University and a $25,000 a plate Republican fundraiser local and Federal law enforcement descended on an American Airlines jet at Nashville International suspected of having explosive materials present. A bomb dog was guilty of having too fine a nose, signaling for a computer case that belonged to a farmer who had been handling fertilizer shortly before his flight. Fortunately the President was using an alternative airport on this trip.

A.N.S.W.E.R./MoveOn.org, members and their puppets were out in force. Around 100 protestors (200 according to them but I counted them myself) were watched closely by a dozen police personnel in cars and on foot, plus four on horseback (everybody dug the Tennessee Walking Horses). About half seemed familiar from the March 20th protest against U.S intervention in Iraq we Freeped downtown. The remainder was made up of scraggly ne’er-do-wells who seemed to be deeply into 1960’s hippie retro.

Also present were a few middle aged men who represented Veterans For Peace. They looked real nice standing next to Queers For Freedom, who were positively giddy going around accusing anyone with a flag of intolerance and bigotry. For a while all parties for and against were forced to share the same area (yes, they’re really much worse close up) until a very nice lady named Landy (?) Brown of SunTrust Bank allowed pro-Bush supporters to use her yard on the opposite side.

That good lady allowed us to assemble on her property because an especially obnoxious MoveOn guy purposely trespassed and shouted rants to his troops across the road from an amplified bullhorn after the police told him the area was off limits. He refused to desist and forced arrest and removal by putting up passive resistance. After he was taken away a halfhearted chant of “What’s the charge?” was attempted but quickly fizzled out due to the sheer stupidity of it. Those folks don’t seem to be the sharpest spoons in the drawer.

I was getting a bit bored until the mighty Wardaddy arrived and started twisting the useful idiots’ heads right off their pencil necks and caused attractive women to ovulate with a glance. Just kidding. He happens to live just down the road and couldn’t stand the thought of missing a good circus. I can’t say enough nice things about Wardaddy and his beautiful wife Sweet Virginia so will leave that up to him.

Though we were the only Free Republic members there about twelve unassociated Republicans and conservatives stood with us. One grand elderly fellow regaled us with horror stories about local politics while his granddaughters proudly put up with the heckling from across the street. We did our best to inform them about this website. By the end our small number were receiving more friendly honks and thumbs ups signs from passing drivers than the great unwashed on the other side. I’d say that’s mission accomplished.

Nothing defines one's commitment to our country (outside military service) like being willing to risk one's safety standing up for it. I used to feel that the radicals were in the minority but now I'm in doubt about that. This experience confirmed to me that any two patriots are worth any number of treasonous trash. Please make the extra effort to oppose this highly organized attempt from the Left to fracture our country. It's all our responsibility.

Allow me to be the first FReeper to congratulate you on standing up for what is right and staring the evil LEFTISTS in the eye! It is a wonderful feeling, isn't it?

There is nothing like a FREEP to open your eyes to the ugliness we face in the LEFT. Funny thing about those LEFTISTS: they crumble like a cheap suit!

Read any thread about the DC Chapter and their FREEPS, and you will see the LEFTISTS FEAR FREEPERS! They look for a 10:1 numbers advantage to even have a chance! They know just a couple of FREEPERS can get the general public fired up, because the majority of the public AGREEE with the FREEPERS!

Congratulations again, and keep on FREEPIN'!

Thank you for getting out there yesterday. It is so important for us to make a public show of support for what we're doing in Iraq. It helps morale on our side and it shows the leftists they're not going to take to the streets unanswered. Good job!

Well said and well done.

As for tactical advice pick up a copy of their manifesto, Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Also, search on Doctor Raoul, kristinn and tgslTakoma for examples of wit and wisdom that drive the left crazy

Well done NRT! If you plan in advance, you can get FReeper support from neighboring states. Your neighbor to the east, NC, has one of the largest active FReeper chapters in the country, known as "The Old North State Chapter of the FreeRepublic Network". (Of course we are small potatoes compared to the DC Chapter, but we ARE nearby!)

(btw, Texas is also a large chapter.)

When the right opportunity presents itself, FReepmail any of the names above to get things started.

Doesn't A.N.S.W.E.R. ally North Korea? Ask them about their support of a genocidal butcher.

Tell them they are anti-war only because they wanted their death merchant allies Germany, France, Russia, China, etc., to keep enjoying the financial gravy train of selling weapons to Iraq so Saddam could more effectively butcher his own people.

Taunt them about the U.N. oil for food corruption scandal and how U.N officials profited off death and misery. Tell them they are anti-war because they would rather keep dictators in power so they can get rich off them.

I've always wanted to get buckets of cow blood to throw at them, then a megaphone to scream that they had the blood of innocent Iraqis on their hands. I couldn't go to these things, I'd get too out of hand.

Soros is an athiest of Jewish family, but I suspect he is virulently anti-Israel. At some point, he ought to be challenged on his position on Israel. After all, he writes the checks.

Use humorous signs. The left has no sense of humor. Also, lots of American flags. Seems to work like crucifixes and holy water on these bums.

Pick an issue and use that as your theme. The UN is a good place to start.

Ron can tell you more about this, but talk with the local police if you're going to gather where President Bush is speaking. Out here in CA, you need a permit.

Remember, have fun!
