We only had a dozen people at the Baltimore’s Enoch Pratt Library but I was proud to be there. The only other active D.C. Freeper there was 2ndClassCitizen. But the others who attended this protest can be called “Honorary FReepers”. They held their own in front of the cameras, CBS and the local FOX news. They held their own when going nose to nose to various koolade drinking clueless morons. They were not shy about
There were two long time FReepers there. I got their screen names but nothing came up on a search. They were JustTheFactsLady and Heptadetonite.
I personally intended to protest from 5:30 til 6:30. But FOX wanted to interview our group but went inside for the 6:30 start of Ayers talk. So I stayed for a while longer. One thing lead to another and before I knew it, it was 8:30. Time flies when you are having fun.
My FOX interview the night before is HERE and the Wednesday night interview is HERE. Ignore the early commercial.
We are briefly mentioned in the Baltimore Sun’s article at the very end HERE. At least we received some good media space and Ayers’s past was exposed which was our intent.
Afterwards several of our supporters filled us in on what went on inside. One guy called Ayers “a tired old hippie, boring”. Mary Katherine Ham (FOX Cable contributor and Weekly Standard writer) tells her story of what went on inside. It is a really good read.
Those inside reported that there were about 200-250 people inside.
BELOW: Me with Mary K Ham when she came out from listening to "Billie".
CONCRETEBOB - Eat your heart out. :-))
Earlier, before Mary K went inside, we played tag team with one guy. I was nose to nose with him when Mary K got there. She stepped between me and this guy and continued the argument without losing a breathe. I went back to alerting passerbys about Ayers’s past. You really had to be there to enjoy the action.
And we had a good police presence there, protecting the library from us “wight-wing-wadicals”.
BELOW LEFT: Library security - They were a fun bunch. When the arguments got to heated and loud they shooed away the Ayers supporters. Apparently they are accustomed to the quite halls in the library. BELOW LEFT: City police. Being National Police Week we thanked them for there service. The Proclamation that our current PUSS signed calls them “peace”, not police officers.
BELOW LEFT: CBS crew interview Jim Simpson of Truth & Consequences. I’ve linked to the blog sites in anticipation of having them adding FreeRepublic.com link to their other sidebar links. BELOW LEFT: FOX getting a frontal shot of the library. That’s 2ndClassCitizen.
BELOW LEFT: 2ndClassCitizen and FReeper JustTheFactsLady holding signs toward the passing cars. Apparently FOX’s report from the night before garnered some interest. Cars were passing and honking and shouting their support. BELOW LEFT: Early group shot. I parked a block away and as I was unloading the car the guy on the left recognized me from FOX’s interview the night before. We started talking and then walked to the library. Unfortunately while still at the car unloading, he distracted me and I forgot the camera. I had to walk back to the car to get it. Luckily I let the camera on the front seat and not on the car roof. The two in the middle are husband and wife. She is FReeper Heptadetonite and remembers being with the D.C. Chapter protesting Clinton in 1998. She is also a self proclaimed former hippy. And of course always debonnaire 2ndClassCitizen getting his sign.
BELOW LEFT: Another group picture. Other protestors had already gone in and were replaced by those in the picture. One 80 year old lady was out with us for a while before going in. She also remembers being with the D.C. Chapter in 1998. The yellow sign is compliments from Doctor Raoul when we FReeped Ayers last November. BELOW LEFT: The guy in the orange is Dave Wallace, local radio commentator and of blog site Restore America’s Mission. The black guy was the one that Ham tag teamed with me before 6:30. This picture is after he came out from listening to Ayers. Dave just kept pushing the black guy’s buttons while always keeping his hands folded in front of himself. After about 5 minutes the library police stepped in and the black guy left.
BELOW: Break time. The “kid” on the right is a member of the College Republican. The College Republicans seem to be more conservative than the older RINO pubs. He is a member of the Republican Club of Northeast Baltimore County and was also the co-organizer of Baltimore’s Tea Party on April 15. I meet several Baltimore Tea Partiers at Westminster’s Tea Party. Being at different times they were able to attend both.
It was a great time for all. Made some new friends, and enemies.
There is supposed to be an article in the Washington Times but it is not up yet. If I find it I’ll post the link.
And we never saw Wussy "Billie" Ayers.
D.C. Chapter Master Ping List
Good report!
Thanks for being there and here. Thanks for all of your efforts/activism. Outstanding post/pics. Thanks to all in attendance.
Bill POS Ayers BUMP!
Good on y’all. I’m shocked, but glad, that the reporter mentioned Ayers’ bombings. No, he’s not just some guy in the neighborhood.
You guys are doing a great job of being an annoying reminder to Bill and Bernadette that they are unrepentant terrorists who still hate this country.
Hopefully, you educated some passersby, too.
Thank you all. We have to keep giving “Billie” heart burn when we can. And the media is actually helping for a change.
[Mr T
I'm glad you mentioned that since I forgot to put it in the AAR.
YES, we talked to a lot of passerbys and library visitors who knew "Billie" was in there but had no idea about his past. We even had flyers that we gave to the media and passerbys.
[Mr] T
WTG, great report.
Thank you for being there.
The article by Mary Katherine Ham is the best expose' of the Ayers/Dohrn propaganda team that I have ever read.
I saw the Fox report that night which included a few views of the auditorium audience. They were grey-haired hippies who, we know, would not give a black conservative the time of day, no matter what they 'feel' is the burden of white supremacy's persecution of American blacks.
Excellent!
Thank you.
Hey, hey, William A.
How many cops did you kill today?
You’re welcome. Got to keep the heat on him.
[Mr] T
Mary K’s article was most informative. I haven’t met a lib/leftist that wasn’t two faced.
[Mr] T
Thanks. The honorary FReepers did a great job. Only two brought a sign of any type so I’m glad I had ours. That’s why the FOX announcer said there were 6 of us when actually it was only me and 2ndClass. FR was on all the signs.
[Mr] T
LOL - wish I had that jingle on Wednesday. But I know it now so next time Ayers is in town we can use it.
[Mr] T
Thanks for the ping.
Thank you.
