I had to cut the pics down from the original size but didn't want them to be too small.

I saw one of you being interviewed on C-Span's Canadian coverage last night. I recognized that FreeRepublic hat! Great job!

[Gumption]

You make me even more proud I'm a member of this forum.

Bless you all.

Great photos, thanks. I brought my camera but the batteries fell out and couldn't be revived :)

One interesting note about O'Lunneys: Before the owner ( a wonderful fellow) arrived at the bar, our group respectfully (You go StarFan!) requested that the TV closest to us be changed from a football game to the news. When the waitstaff (reluctantly IMHO) made the change, the FReepers cheered as the images showed what we had not up till then been able to see. My table was then lectured by a 'twenty-something' hostess to "please respect the other customers who do not share your views and DO NOT TURN THIS INTO SOME KIND OF WAR PARTY!"

UNBELIEVABLE! The owner arrived shortly after that and warmly greeted us and demanded to know why the sound was not turned up on the TV. He then produced a reporter from the Daily News to speak to us. A true American patriot!

Great FReep NYC Freepers!

Great pictures! Thanks for taking them. And thanks to everyone who showed up on such short notice.

We seemed to have some press attention this time (I spoke to NYTimes, Corriere della Sera, USA Today), but so far I haven't seen anything. Please post to FR if you see anything.

This was one of the most gratifying rallies because of all the positive attention from vehicles passing by. There was a traffic light at 15th Street, which gave lots of people in cars, buses, and trucks a good look at the rally, and KLT's husband's sign, saying HONK IF YOU LOVE AMERICA, prompted them to fill the air with wild honking, if they hadn't started already. For once, an encouraging rally where most of the passersby were on our side.

Freeper "Yehuda" is having some problems posting which I may have accidentally caused (and is being very gracious to me despite that).

Yehuda asked me to post this in the meantime:

"One of the two guys in the yarmulkes (hint, it was the guy in the NRA cap and the white beard) says "Mazel Tov and what a great way to meet so many great Americans!"

I came back from the rally and drinks last night to find that I had been suspended for 24 hours (the freepmail from the moderator said for one hour but I am still timed out from posting...)

After some guy called me a traitor the night before in a thread ( I think it was dubyaagain, some Israel bashing troller posting since last week) I responded by telling him to watch his mouth, and his *ss... Ostensibly I was suspended because "Vague threats are not allowed."

Guess I should have been more specific (gr)... See you all in a few days
