The Ignorance of Liberal New Yorkers: My experience with my sign from the Anti-Kerry Protest

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!

Congrats on a job well done! I look for Kerry to make many trips to Ohio, so hopefully FReepers in my area will get something together soon.

More like a University Professor's Association!
Funny thing: They brag about being socialists, and in practice, there was no difference between socialism and fascism!

A good first lesson in FReeping - the other side is invariably nasty, foul-mouthed, obscene and has little reasoning abilities. Smiling at them only infuriates them more.
To: jmstein7
Yeah...i wasn't cold....can you imagine?!!
Well, at least until I got back on the island...then I was cold again!

Michelle,
It was very nice to meet you. Someone had to lower the mean age of the luncheon. ;-)
If you are going to use the poster, may I suggest that you get some talking points? Looking up Kerry's speaches from Vietnam Veterans Agains the War would be a good start. I'm sure that there is a nice collection of quotes somewhere on FR.

It was nice meeting you as well!
Thanks for the tip! I actually used some of the talking points on Mr. Police State, which in turn caused him to run away!
You would be proud!
Oh and the good quotes are on www.wintersoldier.com :)

Mich, I'm glad I got to meet you today. As for the idiots who were harassing you, they live in a sheltered little world where everyone "thinks" - or does what passes for thought - as they do. They can't bear to face the facts when they contradict their own silly ideas.
I agree with the earlier post that said Mr. Police State probably failed to make a peep when Janet Reno let loose in Waco or when little Elian had an assault rifle pointed at his head. I'm glad you scared him away with logic.

That's how leftists operate.That's because no REAL men are leftists!

There was a guy that had a site antiantiwar.com that video taped anti-war protests and what the people had to say. I knew from that video that there would be no reasoning with people so BLINDED to the truth.
