Jmstein7: My Experience at the "Anti-War Protest" in Manhattan Today

Anti-Semitism was at a fevered pitch in New York City today.  After posting my new ad on FR, I decided to take a walk up Fifth Avenue to see what was going on.  I wasn't five feet from my door before I saw a scraggly looking guy carrying a sign that said, "Free Palestine!  Stop the Terrorist Zionist Entity!"  Well, that was enough for me.

I turned right around, went home, and grabbed my American Flag and "Jane Fonda Kerry" sign from the Vietnam Vets Against Kerry Rally a few weeks ago.  Proudly holding my flag and sign, I proceeded to march right up Madison Avenue, along the protest route.  I started getting shouts of "capitalist pig!" and "impeach Bush" from freeze-dried hippie-types marching down the street.  When I started shouting "go back to the U.S.S.R. Commies," a rather harried police officer asked me to move along and not taunt the "peace protestors," whom he told me had picked more than a few fist-fights already.

At about 42nd Street, I finally found the good-guys, the cavalry -- ProtestWarriors.Com.  They were on the corner, in a large group, with great signs, waiting for a police escort down the street.  I introduced myself as a FReeper, and they gave a a big sign to carry.  It read "Islam -- The Religion of Peace" right over a big picture of the plane flying into tower 1 of the WTC.

I noticed an Irish guy (on our side) with a megaphone.  I asked him if I could borrow it, and I started a chant of "Hey, hey -- ho, ho -- Terrorist Appeasers Have to Go!!!"  Well, that stirred up some commotion, and a bunch of protestors came over and started shouting at us.  One of them actually hit one of the nice ladies I was with and wrecked her sign.  They were vicious! 

Finally, the cops came and we started walking down the route -- heckled every step of the way.  There were PA systems everywhere, and a pompous, British-sounding guy started by denouncing Israel for committing "terrorist acts" against the "Palestinian People."  I couldn't take it anymore, so I gave PW my info and left.

That's my little story.  I would be shocked if the AP reported that the "Peace Protest" was being run by socialist anti-Semites.

It always amazes me how the peace protesters and the "anti-violence" anti-gunners are always the ones to initiate violence.

Good deal, jm.

Those people are such anti-semites. I'm surprised the Jewish people in NYC have organized against them.

One of my life shocks was going to college fifty years ago and discovering that "liberals" were nuch more intolerant than the Southern Baptists, who would at least argue with me.

Thanks for the play-by-play from the scumbag commies... They're beyond disgraceful... EXCELLENT ad, by the way. Is that ever going to be played in major media outlets, or just FR? If it's targeted for cable, etc, where do I contribute?

well, it may have been cold enough to use outer garments, otherwise I'd resort to checking for armpit tangles - those are usually a dead giveaway.
