2 questions: Was our flag burned? Who is supporting and organizing these groups?

"I came to engage in some stimulating dialogue and to see democracy in operation," said Richard, 47, of Norfolk who retired from the U.S. Coast Guard. "I only wish the Iraqis had the same." He would not give his last name."
Well said Richard,

I think the term you are looking for is "Astroturf"

Saw y'all on C-Span just a few minutes ago. Recognized you right off even when the camera was a ways off, because of all the American and Marine Corp flags waving in the breeze over your section. Someone in your group was singing God Bless America on a bullhorn. Was a beatiful sight to behold, especially considering the great masses of anti-American communist agitators we had been watching just before. Recognized several of you in the crowd. You, TGSLTakoma, Dr Raul, and others. Thank you all so much for being there!

Two answers: I didn't see any flags burned; These demonstrations are organized and led by Communists.

C-SPAN blew it by not covering our rally, but I'm surprised they showed the footage of us that they did.

The Marines and their fellow vets were great, as were the FReepers. It was a long day, but some of us will be out again tomorrow to cause more heartburn for the America-hating left.

I've been doing some research about the organizers. These "anti-war" rallies are being orchestrated. They are not grassroots

Hey Kristinn, Great Freep and the anti-american nit wits .. they mentioned today on C-span they are gathering again at the UN Building on Feb 15th and several other cities across the country

This Lutheran salutes the some of the Greatest reformers of our times : the DC Chapter. God bless.

Though devils all the world should fill, all eager to devour us.
We tremble not, we fear no ill, they shall not overpower us.
This world’s prince may still scowl fierce as he will,
He can harm us none, he’s judged; the deed is done;
One little Word can fell him.

When I read what you wrote it was like a light turning on in my head. You are right. Please accept my personal respects and thanks. Those that have eyes to see, let them see.

It was claimed that some American flags were burned at the Portland protest. I'll look for confirmation.

I just finished reading "Reagan"s War", and much documentation about communists organizing peace protests, anti-war movements. (To help break down support for Reagan's plans)
Do ya suppose they are still at it?
I have wondered how much damage Clinton did after Reagan's sucess, but can't find any good books written about the communistic situation, if they are regathering.
I am only a little people, but wonder if they are again behind these protests!

Oh, thanks so much for your rally for Peace. Wish I was there.

Great sound bites here. Too bad that the main-line press will ignore them.

Interesting situation though, the "peace and love" crowd tried to rush the lines of those who had the gaul to use one of "their" means of getting our their message? Gee, imagine that!

I never saw ya'll on tv--didn't think to turn it on after I heard that C-SPAN had declined to broadcast you counter-protesters. However, I didn't have to see it to know that ya'll did a great job!

It is such a pleasure to be able to call many of you "friend". It might at times be hard to realize now, but you guys ARE making a difference!
