The Ignorance of Liberal New Yorkers: My experience with my sign from the Anti-Kerry Protest
2-28-04 | Michelle Levy

Posted on 02/28/2004 4:39:20 PM PST by Mich0127

After spending a long day protesting in New York City, I thought that I would share my experiences with fellow FREepers who unfortunately could not be there. I was thrilled with the turn out, and I was equally appalled with some of the comments I received from people when I was walking around with my Benedict Kerry sign. One woman told me how stupid my sign was and how stupid I was to carry it. Why am I stupid...because you don't want to face the facts that your precious John Kerry is a liar and a traitor? I had another man follow me around and tell me that Kerry did nothing wrong, because he was protesting America's police state...where do people come up with these things. I also had two young men try to taunt me, asking "What, you would rather vote for Bush"...which I promptly answered "Damn Right!" What amazes me is when they disagree with my message, they have to be so nasty about it.

Oh, and for those of you who want to know what I did...I smiled at them and laughed! I was not about to stoop down to their level, and when I tried to reason with Mr. Police State, he argued with me and told me that I was wrong..even though I had the facts to back up my sign.

Gotta love people!

I had a wonderful time today, and it was wonderful to meet FREepers face to face!

You should have asked Mr. Police State if he didn't have a leetle twinge of conscience over Waco and the Elian thing.

Betcha he doesn't.

No..the second I gave him facts, he "had to go" and ran off...typical lib...once you give them a fact, they do one of two things:

1. Run Away
2. Scream until you get a headache

Really? We made the news?

(p.s. figures that you weren't taunted until you were alone - without your male escort).

That's how leftists operate.

It was about 3 minutes, after talking about Kerry's campaigning efforts (of course) and they were just talking about how veterans came out to protest against John Kerry...also you couldn't really see us unless you really looked

exactly
liberals believe in the first amendment all right...when it suits them
If a conservative wants to get a message out, we are stupid...that just shows their ignorance!

Considering the people you were arguing against, I would say that you got off pretty lucky. The tolerance crowd could have put you in the hospital.

True...but luckily for me, it was bright and sunny out, and I am a little 23 year old girl who everyone thinks is adorable, so no one really "bothers" with me too much.

Good point though..that is why I usually try to inflame them when jmstein7 is in my company!

Nice meeting you.

Don't feel bad; I've had relatives go for the jugular. The liberals are a mean-spirited lot and when out of ammunition, their arguments begin get personal.
