We have declared this Operation a SUCCESS!!!!
The Revolutionary Communist Party, with it's front group WorldCantWait, showed up Saturday with their disgusting signs, their disgusting chants and their filthy appearence. Our group of intrepid PW's, Freepers, and the Leadership Institute's best and brightest, along with two brave wounded wariors from Walter Reed, and a contingent from George Washingtin University, assembled in Lafeyette Park at 1030 and set up our signs with messages of support for the current administration, the military, and the methods used by both to keep us safe from terrorists. Our favorite code pinko, Squeegee Boy showed up with a George Bush mask and a sign with a stupid message, including the words "Yellowcakewalk.org", He stood in front of the White House, on PA Ave. and made an ass of himself. (but he has lots of experience doing that).
One moron came up behind us and started yelling "War not hugs", but I thought he was yelling "War not hogs," and I failed to get the connection.
I politely informed him that we were not yelling and I would appreciate it if he would be quiet. Whereupon he informed me that the park wasn't mine, and I couldn't tell him to shut up. I politely informed him that this particular section was indeed mine, temporarily, and asked him to leave. He then threatened to get the get the Park Police, and I encouraged him vigorously, to do just that, and pointed to where the Park Police had assembled.
He took off at a trot, and was back shortly with a Sargeant in tow babbling about his park. After being admonished by the Sargeant to shut up, I was asked for my permit, which I handed over. The Sargeant took his time reading every page, all the while, the moonbat was rambling on about his park, his city, where did I live, until the Sargeant, with amazing control, informed the moonbat that it wasn't my park, it wasn't your park, but "IT IS MY PARK, and you will shut-up until I finish reading this permit"
After reading every page the Sargeant re-folded the paper work, handed it back to me, and turned to the moonbat and said "Where is your permit?" Of course he didn't have one.
"Well," the Sargeant said, "This man has a permit to be here, and you don't so I would suggest you be quiet, or move on, If you want to oppose this groups message, go to the office, file the application, get a permit, and you can talk all you want. Until then, this man has the right to ask you to shut up, and leave." I love being right.
We braved the rain, and at 1345 hours, we moved to strategic locations along 17th Street to await the oncoming hordes. We waited, and waited, and finally we heard the sounds of drums and brass instruments. One LI member remarked, "That must be what Hell sounds like all the time". I sneaked a peek down the street, and the sight could indeed have been right out of Milton's "Paradise Lost"..bodies whirling and spinning, jumping up and down, like demons let loose.
For the first time since I've started counter-protesting, I was nervous. I turned and looked at the young people who stood with me, and my only thought was, "How do I protect these people?"
I told everyone that we were going to lead this march on to Pennsylvania Ave, with our signs, and to make sure we stayed IN FRONT of the police car escorting the march. We waited until the police car was about 300 feet from our location and stepped out into the street, holding our signs, and chanting "USA USA". We made the turn onto Pennsylvania, stopped briefly to allow the marchers to make the turn, and proceeded down to Jackson Place. The moonbats had people on the sidewalk, standing under an awning, and we engaged them verbally briefly, before proceeding to Jackson Place, where I directed everyone to get on the sidewalk and get to our assembly area. The Park Police were aware of what we were doing and were very helpful. We stood on the park benches along Pennsylvania Ave, with Park Police between us and the moonbats, with our signs, chanting "God Bless America, USA!! USA!!, God Bless President Bush". The moonbats behaved as expected, saluting us with the middle finger, calling us fascists, and generally being a$$hats.
bstein80 put himself right in the middle of the unwashed hordes and got some amazing footage, I'm sure. Brave man..he also got video of us leading the march, and it will be available soon. I have about 4 minutes worth, (batteries were low) and as soon as I whip my FTP software, I'll have it uploaded and available...
My profound admiration for, and eternal thanks to, everyone who braved the weather, kept their attitudes positive in spite of the weather, and stood with me and made this a good day to be a conservative.
I have no words to describe my feelings for all of you.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PING
Good work Bob.
Proud of you.
Woo hoo!! Great job!!
I'd call it a concrete success.
Thanks for the report, and way to go, Bob!
Thanks for supporting our Troops, our Country and our President. (from a vet)
WELL DONE!
BRAVO!! Proud of you all!
Well Done Brother!
Time for the real conservatives on FR,
be it Republicans, Independents or Democrats
(like Zell Miller and John O'Neill) to band together
and oust the looney left and RINO's
Time for the GOP to bring back the very effective
white flag ad!
RINO's were afraid that the looney left would be upset!
BTTT
Nice job! Thank you for standing up for what is right...I love to see the left making asses of themselves...and the right behaving in a civil manner!
Kudos to all of you for apparently doing just that in the face of obnoxious liberals!
great job! great work!
Great job as usual, DC Freepers!
And Rob, if you get a chance to read this, I'd just like to let you know that you are a hero proved in liberating strife, and I can never thank you enough. Give those jihadis hell when you get back on duty.
bump! Wish I could have attended.
We'll let him know what you said.
Great job. PING for Mike and Allegra!

Above and byond the call of duty. Saturday was a miserable weather day! Great work! Wonderful to read that GW students are joining "our" side.
Sounds like I missed all the fun. Great work by everyone involved! Back from travelling, so I'll be back in position this Friday evening.
Great job!
Welcome back. You missed some good times.
Any pics of your travels? Private FReepmail would be good.
[Mr] T
No, just business travel out to the Left Coast.
"One moron came up behind us and started yelling "War not hugs", but I thought he was yelling "War not hogs," and I failed to get the connection."
LOL! Awesome job. I hope everyone had some chicken soup when they got home!!
bump
"I told everyone that we were going to lead this march on to Pennsylvania Ave, with our signs, and to make sure we stayed IN FRONT of the police car escorting the march."
Good job!
Doesn't matter. I'd just be re-exposed on Friday evenings. I'm hopeful that my body has built up a strong immunity, but...
LOL!!!
I would say there were between 1,000 and 3,000. That seems like a wide enough range.
LOL! That is quite a large range. My range would have been between 400 and 800. ;*)
I wish there had been a photo of all of us together.
Great job! BTTT
"Time for the real conservatives on FR,

AMEN!
They're out there, the photographers just need time to post them.
Two foreign exchange students from Argentina loved seeing us and asked if they could have their picture taken with us. One held the sign that said, "W THREE MORE YEARS" while his friend took a picture. Laughing they switched places so they each had their own photo. I asked if they supported President Bush. They looked at me as if I was nuts and said, yes of course and we support America!
A little later a group came up behind us. They were all laughing and talking very fast in a foreign language. Suddenly I heard a word I recognized...Osama! They managed to ask by gestures, if they could have their picture taken with our Osama head on a pike! They were great fun and very exuberant!
After they took turns with Osama photos I took group photos with several of their cameras with the WH in the background. IIRC, they were from Brazil.
Individuals, couples and families would stop and read our signs. They would then clap for us and thank us for being there, some posing for photos with us before moving along.
There is a lot more.....
Oh, I am sure there are photos out there. I mean a photo of ALL of us that were there. I don't think we were ever all together at one time.
Great story...
DC FREEPERS ROCK!!
AWESOME! JUST AWESOME!
[Thank you for defending our President and 'uplifting' our troops!]
Thanks for the ping, JRios. I always enjoy seeing our own getting it done and sticking it to the wackos. :-)
supporting our troops and the Prez bump!
Good job! Look forward to more pictures and video.
I wish I lived in your area (but, more so, I wish there wasn't a need to counter these a$$hats). Glad you and the others braved the elements.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you
Whoa...that sounds bigger than Humpback Mountain!
Wish I could have joined you guys!
Excellent! Good Job!
Loved the permit story. hahahahahaha
If this is what you want - go support your man - but I had higher expectations for Bush. If you think supporting those who tax Peter to buy Paul's vote is good - keep it up.
In case you haven't figured it out - This Bush has undone everything that Regan did and then some.
I wonder if you realize you are being a useful ixxxxx ,.,.,.,
Next Presidential election I am going to keep my eyes open and vote for a harder lined person. President Bush does give in too much IMHO.
ping ;*)
