We gathered on the north side of Lafayette Square at 2:30 to scope out the terrain. The moonbats had permitted Lafayette Square and the sidewalk in front of the White House. Not that the less than 100 “Out of Iran” and pro-Palestinian groups needed that much space. All in all, their small group looked pitiful in light of their claim that a majority of Americans supported their anarchical views. Even when the moonbats persuaded some on lookers to march with them for a short time, they were pitiful.
For you D.C. FReepers, the regulars were there, Squeegie, Princess (in leather drag), Wuke, and Chief Grumpy from Olney. The head Code Pinkos were noticeably absent. I guess after their failed attempt to get us out of Iraq, they didn’t want to support another failed leftist cause.
We had all of Pennsylvania Avenue to spread out on. Our group of Patriots included 3DJoy, BufordP, Cindy_True_Supporter, DaveLoneRanger, Eager, Fraxinus, Pasquale, RongKirby, sauropod, [Mrs] Trooprally (aka [Mrs] T), myself and two Vets.
Pics and videos for this report were by [Mrs] T
As everyone knows, it takes only one FReeper or Eagle to rain on the moonbats parade, no matter how many moonbats show up. Our group did a great job today. We were able to walk around Pennsylvania Avenue, talking to the crowd, verbally attacking the moonbats’ message and just giving them a hard time. The only American flags on Pennsylvania Avenue this day were ours. We also had a lot of tourists who had their pictures taken with out signs. WE had a good time, but not sure if the moonbats did.
The moonbats held signs about “No Sanctions”. Well, the complain that Bush was a cowboy in Iraq, and now that he is going through the UN and has sanctions on Iran, they still complain. They just have an un-health hatred of Bush and the U.S.
Several of our signs were courteously provided by FReeper davidlachnicht who has a really great collection of posters for our use. Close ups of the ones we used are below.
The below poster was changed a little. We replaced the “!” after Iraq with a check mark, and put “IRAN ?” To the right. You can see Cindy_True_Supporter holding it in our group picture.
These are the other two we used:
There was one poster that no one used. It was from the Carter era. It said:
Made In America
Tested In Japan
Harm One Nation
We’ll Drop It On Iran
5+ Minute Video HERE on a new conservative site called EYEBLAST.TV. [Mrs] T had to swat away the bull horn from the loud mouthed Code Pinko when she got too close. There was an officer close by, watching the action, who told the Pinko to move back after [Mrs] T defended her space. We also had [Mrs] T’s back so if the officer didn’t step in, we would have. But [Mrs] T was holding her own.
And a 2+ Minute Video HERE
HERE is the photo file for the day.
BELOW: The Initial FReeper Roll Call of Patriots (L-R): Me, RongKirby, Fraxinus, Eager, BufordP and Cindy_True_Supporter. While holding the U.S./Marine flag pole, Eager had a lot of Vets come up to him and thank him for being there. While not a Vet himself, he was a forensic police office until being medically retired.
BELOW: The Final Roll Call of Patriots (L-R): Eager, RongKirby (also GoE), sauropod, Vet, DaveLoneRanger, Fraxinus, BufordP (in shadows), Vet, [Mr] Trooprally (me), Cindy_True_Supporter, 3DJoy. Pasquale had already left. Davidlachnicht signs were on the back of BufordP’s large signs and on several smaller poster size signs. The “No Nukes For Kooks” sign has a picture of Ahmadinejad.
BELOW: Moonbats/anarchists at their first “coming out of the closet” moment, heading from Lafayette Square to the White House sidewalk.
BELOW LEFT: RongKirby being not-so-covert. BELOW RIGHT: RongKirby: “Just having some fun officer. Can’t let them Protest Warriors all the fun”
BELOW LEFT: Sauropod and Pasquale. Pasquale’s sign says “Remember the Embassy - 1979" with a picture of the U.S. hostages. BELOW RIGHT: DaveLoneRanger and me.
BELOW LEFT: Two Vets who joined us taling to a moonbat. Yes, that is one of my good smoking cigars the Vet on the right has. BELOW RIGHT: BufordP coming into frame on left, Cindy_True_Supporter (dark shirt) standing next to 3DJoy with flag, and Sauropod with “How About” sign.
BELOW LEFT: The Palestinians were there. BELOW RIGHT: The idiots who don’t know that we are not at war with Iran.
BELOW: The leftist complained about Bush being a cowboy, so he had the UN put sanctions on Iran. And a blockade is still a non-violent option. Now they don’t even like what their beloved UN is doing.
BELOW LEFT: Chief Grumpy was there. (Right side of frame in dark shirt). BELOW RIGHT: Any one remember her from the Olney FReep on Sept. 06,2006? She had cut ‘n run long ago from there.

For anyone who doesn't know, the so-called "anti-war" group International A.N.S.W.E.R. was formed by leaders of the Workers World Party (and mere days after the 911 attacks). WWP is a collection of pro-North Korea Stalinists based in New York City. When A.N.S.W.E.R. was eventually outed as a communist front, WWP started up a new "peace" group called Troops Out Now. Democrat chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Charlie Rangel, actually gives speeches at their rallies and the New York City media looks the other way -also is never confronted by Hannity or O'Reilly about it, despite his almost weekly appearances on their programs. Other prominent lefties who spoke at the rally were the former attorney general under democrat president LBJ, Ramsey Clark , and Lynne Stewart , convicted of aiding islamic terrorists. Clark heads the International Action Center and had a major role in the formation of A.N.S.W.E.R. As stated above, all three organizations, The International Action Center, Troops Out Now and Workers World Party have headquarters at the same exact location in New York City.

For a small taste of who the WWP is, and what they believe in, the following is from their website (workers.org)...
"On July 9 (1994), Workers World Party Chairperson Sam Marcy sent the following statement to Comrade Kim Jong Il, the Central Committee of the Workers Party of Korea and the State Funeral Committee of President Kim Il Sung.":
"Dear Comrade Kim Jong Il ...
The National Committee of Workers World Party extends our deepest condolences on the passing of the great leader of the Korean people, Comrade President Kim Il Sung.
Comrade Kim Il Sung devoted his whole life to the Korean people's struggle for national self-determination and the international working-class struggle for socialist emancipation. With his leadership, the Korean people defeated the Japanese colonial occupation and soon after brought about the first defeat of the U.S. imperialist military machine.
For over 40 years since the armistice, the U.S. military has continued to occupy the south of Korea with troops and nuclear weapons. This occupation has been the chief obstacle to peaceful reunification of Korea and poses the chief danger of a new war on the peninsula." ...
"Workers World Party values our close, comradely relations with the Workers Party of Korea very highly. We are proud to have known Kim Il Sung as a great leader and a comrade in the international communist movement. ...
With comradely solidarity, Sam Marcy Chairperson, Workers World Party":

Here, also from the Workers World Party website (workers.org), is a direct link to the set of photos showing Ramsey Clark, Lynne Stewart and current democrat chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Charlie Rangel, all at the Workers World Party/Troops Out Now event on March 19, 2005. The occasion marked the 2nd anniversary of the start of the Iraq war:

Ach! I love you guys.
Good job, all!!! Thanks for the report and pics.
Thank you, from the bottom of my grateful heart.
Nice. Looks like the bats were desurged.
BTT. Good job!
Why aren’t more conservatives taking a more aggressive aim at socialists in this country? A passing mention is heard on the talk shows, but little more. We need to make more noise about it.
Socialism is a disease in need of a cure.
Hopefully, we won’t have to go “ON TO IRAN.” I find the apparent enthusiasm for attacking Iran displayed on those signs disturbing. Hopefully Douglas Feith did not submit any sign ideas.
If Nancy-Girl would allow a vote on drilling, with a following vote in the Senate, we could enjoy Iran’s loss of nuke funding as the price of oil dropped. Repealing the Carter-era exec. order against assassinations would be nice, too. After all, the order did not stop Saddam from trying to kill GHW Bush. We should have that option, as well.
Ping - You are now famous. Thanks for coming out Saturday and helping out.
[Mr] T
Thank you all for the kudos from the D.C. Chapter Patriots. We did have a good time giving the moonbats a hard time and taking away from their air time as the media asked us for interviews. Also, Sun wasn’t too hot and rain held off till we were in our cars.
[Mr] T
Thanks for the info and links. Always good to have the right links to present arguments with the moonbats.
[Mr] T
I wouldn't gamble our national security on the Iranians running out of money. That's crazy.
“Enthusiasm” has to be part of our bargaining chip. If our enemies think that we are carring a limp stick, we are lost before we start.
[Mr] T
I don't know. And these bums (Workers World Party) are the worse of the worse. Actually, they and the Revolutionary Communist Party are about tied, at least as far as the large and influential commie groups go. Much of the problem is that most of us lead normal productive lives and have jobs and family, etc, while these people are often spoiled and angry brats, or just plain nuts. But as that old 60s era song went: "You don't know what you got 'til it's gone".
Can I bring an “Assassinate Imanutjob” sign, or would that be too forward?
Not completely, anyhow. Blockading their gasoline imports is another option (just throwing it out there).
