What a bunch of idiots.
I don't see thousands....
Nice work with the captions. It really is amazing that these people confront the poor peace officers trying to do their job and get everyone to simply act like adults.
Do you are anyone else know if there were active duty military who spoke and where in uniform?
"C'mon people now/smile on your brother/everybody get together/try to love another right now...."
The only US Flags I saw in the crowd (via TV) were wrapped around boxes. These people were, however, flapping the flags of other nations.

Why do they look like Arabs?
Thanks for the great post, C Girl.
Thanks also to the DC FReepers!
Loved the commentary. ROFL! That's Entertainment....
I pray to God America survives degenerates like these. I loathe them all. God forgive me.
The picture captions are hilarious!
What a bunch of idiots.
__________________________No, no, no - you just don't understand! Every one of them is a class act. LOW class, to be sure, but class acts, nonetheless. Their collective IQ would have to register at least in the low 70s, wouldn't you guess?
I still think that Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs should sue Jackson Brown for recording "Stay". A separate suit should nail Jackson for impersonating a singer.
If any of my kids ever participated in anything like that, adult or not I'd still whoop their ass.
You are not alone!
Why do they look like Arabs?
It starts with a drum circle, the next thing you know, there's a college.
Outstanding captions--especially the ships and the clerical error. LOL! Thanks, for standing in the gap, DC Chapter.
I'm curious about how one goes about scheduling and organizing minutes for meetings in an "Anarchist Club". Tough job, I'd imagine...
Because they get fund support from the Terrorist whom we are fighting.
Re Fonda: Nice coat. Looks expensive. Socialism's a pretty good racket.
You know, I think we all agree that we want the war ended. The difference is that the left wants it to end in a U.S. surrender; we want a clear cut victory!
My sign would say END THE WAR- WIN!
Or maybe PEACE THROUGH SUPERIOR FIREPOWER!
they are getting better, no free mumia now thats just not right to forget about him
The egos of Jackson Browne, Jesse Jackson, Ozzie Osborne, Jane Fonda and Susan Sarandon count for thousands.

Good call. I don't see thousands either. I do see camera angles set for close-ups that show sloganeering and theatrics, but very few crowd shots -- and those few don't show huge throngs.
Outstanding, that was exactly what I was thinking of.
Cinnamon Girl, you do know that, according to C.S. Lewis, the devil cannot stand to be mocked? You've done a great job of mocking the devil's minions here. May they suffer under our laughter against them.

Woke up early this morning to pleasantly see ya'll on the FoX News Channel demonstrating, just for the LOVE of it, on a D.C. corner against 1,000's who were demonstrating in front of you ..just for the HATE of it.
On March 23, 2003 a bunch of us Freepers showed up at the corner of Hollywood Blvd & Highland Ave, under the threat of a terrorist attack against the 2003 OSCARS right across the street.
This to counter 1,000's of Anti-Freedom Anarchists who were trying to shut everything down from a couple of blocks away.
Regardless, guess who got the most Media coverage 'round the World that a day:
http://www.post-gazette.com/nation/20030324antiwar0324p7.asp
What I am saying is...
...Have No Fear, take Heart ..My Fellow Freepers.
Our turn will come again...
...All in GOD's Plan.

A quote accompanies it at post 32.
Have you come across any wire service photos of our counter-protest? I haven't seen any.
Is this yours? It is so droll. Hilarious. Thank you.
I think "the twins" refers to Barbara and Jenna, not Mary-Kate and Ashley.
Great captions! Hilarious!
Hilarious cutlines.
I missed the Fox News coverage. We got a mention on some of the local TV news broadcasts last night, and on local radio. None of them mentioned that a former POW, Mike Benge, stood with us to denounce Jane Fonda's appearance at the Navy Memorial.
Get it?
I got a good laugh out of them!
Hilarious captions!
I think that the problem may have been... that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed... by a dwarf.
