Protest the New York Times Revealing of U.S. Secrets, Monday, July 10, 5 p.m.

June 28, 2006 | firebrand

[firebrand]

We have a sound permit, and we will be across the street from the New York Times. They are at 229 West 43rd Street.

The groups on board so far are Free Republic, Caucus for America, the Congress for Racial Equality, and Protest Warrior, NYC Chapter. We have reached out to several other groups as well, and are waiting to hear back from them.

Some high-visibility media people are interested in speaking at the protest. More information will be coming on this as we gather groups and speakers.

So hold the date! If you have been as sick about the Times's unconscionable blabbing of our classified information as the rest of those who care about the nation, now is your chance to do something to make your outrage heard.

[firebrand]

OK, here's the thread.

[firebrand]

ping to the great state of New York (except for a certain building in Midtown)

[The Mayor]

BTTT!!

[Darksheare]

I have a bit of a hard time getting to the city.
(I get lost on roads quickly, but put me in the woods, I navigate better than most.)

If I could get there, I'd go.

[God luvs America]

thank you....keep me posted- Monday's are tough but I'll do my best to be there....

[firebrand]

Chapter: major protest

[Solamente]

Why did you ping me?

[firebrand]

You're on the New York State ping list. Do you want to be taken off?

[Coleus]

Why did you ping me? >>>

you're a freeper and you live in NY, no?

[firebrand]

New Jersey, come on over, or stop by after work if you work here.

[Solamente]

I'm right here in Brooklyn, New York, and you'll find me on the New York FR list, but I did not subscribe to you to be pinged.

[Incorrigible]

Hooray! A weekday protest in NYC. Finally something I can attend!

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the ping.

[deadhead]

Thanks for the ping, firebrand.

Won't be able to attend, but, I am happy to bump your thread.

[Jesyca]

Thanks for the ping.

I was REALLY starting to get angry with the New Yorkers.

This helps. I just hope it's BIG!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

BTTT!

Pinch is goin' down!

[Incorrigible]

Hey Doc,

We may need your protest skills from the last time you protested the New York Times over the Jason Blair issue!

[Incorrigible]

See you there!

[Solamente]

Maybe I can think of and do other things to make a point.

The State List of Freepers is not an automatic ping list.

IN A 'PINCH': RETHINKING THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Signage, you'll definitely need signage. Some modest proposals:

Some good stuff HERE, and HERE. My favorite:

;^)

[Doctor Raoul]

Solamente, every party needs a Pooper, that's why we invited you....Party Pooper.....Party Pooper.

Don't be such a tight a$$ with the "unsolicited" canard. It's not like it took up more than two seconds of your time. You've already invested more than that bitchin' about it.

firebrand is throwing a party and invited you. See it for that and nothing else.

A simple "please remove me from your ping list" would have been the gracious way of handling it.

Looks like there will be a number of speakers you might want to come hear speak and perhaps meet. The invite still stands if you change your mind. If you need assistance getting there, we may even be able to help with that.

Boris Badenov may be there in front of the NYT selling NYTs.

His sign, "where's my Pulitzer?

Want to do that on the big traffic island in Times Square this weekend?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I'm right here in Brooklyn, New York, and you'll find me on the New York FR list, but I did not subscribe to you to be pinged.

You been pinged. You hav' no choice in da matter, do I make meself loud and clear eh? :-) < /NY Accent >

[Incorrigible]

Want to do that on the big traffic island in Times Square this weekend?

Love to Doc but the wife makes sure I'm with the family on weekend since I already put in too many hours during the week.

Hopefully you will not be alone out there on the island!

[ELS]

Are you heading to NYC this weekend?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

No need to rethink the first amendment. Might as well rethink the second one while you're at it. Waiting periods to buy an NYT. No more than one magazine supscrciption a month. Registration of reporters. Do we really want that in a free country?

There are ways to put the screws to Pinch's boys without violating the First Amendment. The feds can subpoena the editor Keller and his reporters and compel them to give up the person who leaked to the NYT in the first place, and then prosecute the leaker (Newt Gingrich's suggestion). I also supsect there might be a civil (lawsuit) remedy somewhere in the government's arsenal for the indiscretions of the NYT, WSJ, and LAT.

[Solamente]

Oh! Well, now that changes everything! I must now decide to back off the keyboard, and kneel in repentance for not recognizing a call from loftier and more wizened Freepers!

A ping list is a ping list is a ping list. But I'm not on the one in question.

If you and firebrand want to dance in front of the NY Times, be my guest, for perchance the millisecond of footage that the MSM will show, followed by the spin of how rabid and foolish you made Conservatives look.

I'm weary. If you care to take this up later, I'll be there.

[TheRobb7]

Be sure to bring plenty of NYT flags.

You know....so you can BURN THEM.

After all, it's protected speech............

/sarc off

[Doctor Raoul]

I'm thinking about it. Boris Badenov selling NYT's in Times Square....

[Doctor Raoul]

Why did you ping me?

You got a problem wit' dat cupcake?

[Doctor Raoul]

Of course you'll be there. You don't do anything.

[Drango]

OK.... but isn't it easer to have FReepers from around the world email/call the advertisers? FOLLOW THE MONEY

[kitkat]

BUMP, BUMP, BUMP, BUMP, BUMP.

This old, gray lady wants THAT Old Gray Lady to go down, down.

[Solamente]

If I'm not doing anything, that must mean you are doing something by comparison, Doctor.

I will bite my fingernails to their quicks while you shame me with your accomplishments.

You may need to create a new thread.

I'll only ping Freepers to your Thread Of Accomplishments with whom I'm familiar with, though. Anything else would be "inappropro."

[Doctor Raoul]

Do both.

The Times staffers going to the movie theater across the street were mega embarassed to have baghdad Bob ridiculing them in front of the rest of the media covering that Howell Raines all hands, open your kimono meeting.

[Doctor Raoul]

If I'm not doing anything, that must mean you are doing something by comparison, Doctor.

Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner.

[Drango]

The Times staffers .... were mega embarassed

Is that redundant?

[Solamente]

Checkmate! You win, Doctor Raoul, not me!

Tip:

Stand in front of the Good Morning America window in Times Square, and when signalled, say "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

[Coleus]

The State List of Freepers is not an automatic ping list. >>

I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. I'm sure firebrand won't ping you again.

[Solamente]

Just nipping it in the bud.

A stitch in time saves nine.

You know the rest.

G' Night.

[Doctor Raoul]

It's obvious the little peckerhead was spoiling for a fight.

No need to be nice when it's not warranted.

[tgslTakoma]

Good luck and have fun! I saw that Michelle Malkin is aware of NYT protest plans. Once she announces it on her blog, it could get very big, very fast.

I need to be wealthy so I can travel when events like this come up.

[tgslTakoma]

Why didn't you ping me?

Oh, wait... it's because I don't fly a NY flag on my home page.

Well, I'll just bump your thread anyway with a BTTT from Maryland.

[tgslTakoma]

Michelle Malkin has posted a whole bunch of signs made by bloggers HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

[ForGod'sSake]

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I don't think (s)he/it would be of much help anyway judging from (s)he/it's last effort...

  Solamente on steroids!!!

[End_Clintonism_Now]

Thanks for the ping!! Here's some artwork for protesters:

[ForGod'sSake]

Michelle Malkin has posted a whole bunch of signs made by bloggers...

That's quite an array of art work. The Times(ptoui!) has generated a lot of resentment, and all for what? Their stock has continued to decline even after their "scoop", maybe faster than before. We tried to tell 'em ;^)
