The speaker at D.A. R. Constitution Hall on November 9, 2003 was Algore, former vice perpetrator (or should that be "vice perp-a-traitor" in view of the Chinese Communist government money accepted by the Clinton-Gore campaign in 1996?).
The sponsors were two quite misnamed groups. Move On, the left wing anti-impeachment promoting a simple censure of Clinton and a "move on" after Clinton was caught lying under oath to fix the outcome of a civil rights case against him, was never able to "move on." The American Constitution Society, whose allegiance to America and its Constitution is highly questionable, is an organization of liberal lawyers formed as the counterpart to the conservative attorneys of the Federalist Society.
Naturally, your DC Chapter viewed this as a great opportunity to protest Mr. "no controlling legal authority," inventor of the hanging chad, disenfranchisor of our brave men and women in uniform, and noted friend of the Buddhist Monks living at the "We Clean Your Green" Chinese money laundromat.
The honor roll of attendance for this gathering of eagles: pageonetoo, Doctor Raoul, tgslTakoma, staytrue, Jimmy Valentine's brother, taxman and BillF.
I arrived at just before 1 pm and notice a gentleman eyeing me suspiciously as I walked carrying my rolled-up sign across from the Constitution Hall. He identified himself as pageonetwo. We talked for a minute or two and then Doctor Raoul joined us.
We unfurled our signs and Doctor Raoul suited up as Saddam Hussein and set up his sound system. Joining us as soon as they found parking spaces were tgslTakoma, staytrue, Jimmy Valentine's brother, and taxman.
Our FReep was conducted right across the street from the main entrance to Constitution Hall. The leftists, waiting in long lines extending up an outside stairway at the entrance served as a captive audience for our FReep.
Occasionally the leftists would shout at us, but they were usually subdued.
Doctor Raoul worked his sound system to great advantage. One line that Raoul boomed through his speaker was: "There's a two drink minimum here today, everyone must buy two drinks for Ted Kennedy." That drew laughter even from some leftists.
The Doctor of FReep later dressed as a soldier stabbed in the back by Algore's disenfranchisement of military votes.
Two uniformed Secret Service officers stopped and chatted for a few minutes. Later a guard or officer with the Federal Protective Service guarding the nearby building come up to us and demanded that we leave private property. We said, "What private property? This sidewalk is a public easement." He said that the fence that pageonetwo and I had placed our hands against was "DOI property" (Department of Interior). We took our hands away from the fence, but he said that we had to leave. We were on the sidewalk at a closed DOI driveway (the fence closed it off).
tgslTakoma respectfully told him that the Secret Service didn't have a problem with us being there and we didn't believe that we should have to move. He said that he would check with them and come back. The FReep was over about 10 minutes later and he never came back. If he had been more insistent, we could have just moved 20 feet down the sidewalk. (I don't know what the apparently pro-Gore guard was claiming. Maybe he thought that we didn't have the right to protest on a public sidewalk in front of his building?)
Six of our band of seven fierce FReepers retired to an undisclosed location for nourishment and for plotting further activities suitable for the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

One guy had me wondering, though ... he ran across the street towards me, yelling "Take my picture!" So I did.
What an honor! The Finger symbolizes one of the very few things the left actually does well, so well they are famous for doing it in CLUSTERS.
