But, seriously, the way that Matt was promoting this event so aggressively last night on his radio show, I'm surprised that there are not even MORE posts about this. :o)

Plus, THIS thread will have pre-FReep details!

[WhiteGuy]

Freedom of Speech.................in action

[lonevoice]

Thank you, RonDog, and all the California FReepers who will stand up and shout in the face of this latest Hollywood idiocy! Rush Limbaugh was commenting on it this morning, too. I know it's difficult to pull something together when there is little advance warning, but I'm sure you'll do us proud. Lots of pictures, please!

[PhiKapMom]

Good luck with the Freep -- looking forward to seeing the pictures after!

[Flora McDonald]

I love that Thank God it's W banner!

From Virginia with gratitude,

[MEGoody]

Based on comments I've seen here on FR, there's a few posters who will be attending this "hate Bush" thing.

[hapc]

Will Julia Louis Dreyfus even show up through the front door? (or will the hotel staff have to 'shield' her sensitive eyes from the protesting throngs)

[Tigercap]

Most days of the year I thank God I don't live in Kalifornia. I'd love to be there Tuesday, though.

[ru4liberty]

You SoCal FReepers are BEAUTIFUL! FReep on!

[PeteFromMontana]

What do you think it would take to get Drudge to report the Luvya Dubya counter rally?

[Bubba_Leroy]

Dang, I wish I could come. Be sure and post lots of photos of your Freep.

[RonDog]

For those who CAN attend on such short notice:

There may be SOME parking on the side streets, but we will not be there very long...

...perhaps from 6 pm to 8 pm - MAXIMUM.

So, there is also more expensive parking ($6/hr) in the SAFE, in a covered, guarded facilities - at either the Hilton or the adjacent Robinsons/MAY department store paking lots.

I have checked out the venue previously, and suggest that we meet on the NORTH side of Wilshire, in a small park on either side of the intersection of Wilshire with Trenton Drive.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Good work on the counter-rally.

BUMP for a large turnout.

[Feiny]

Where is Susan Saranwrap and her fartcatcher Timmy?

[LisaMalia]

Wish I could be there, but I will be in spirit! Give 'em hell, FReepers!

[Roarkdude]

Just heard you plug it on Hugh Hewitt. Way to go! I'll be there if I can.

[Trteamer]

HERE IS MY SIGN IDEA:

GEORGE BUSH "HATE GROUP" MEET INSIDE.

Go get em Hollywood FReepers!!!!

Point out to the world the fact that they are indeed a "HATE GROUP"!!

That should drive them crazy!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Bump!
