Ouch.............That's one way to change their minds.

I bet he thinks about that conversation for awhile.

Iwas Kerry really so dumb as to think Viet-Nam/Viet-Nam Era forgot what he did in 71? If so then this is one more reason why he shouldn't be persident, he's just to stupid.
How stupid...(from the ultimate flame)

"I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me."

Kudos to Just another Joe

Hey Chieftain, it was great to meet you at the KerryLied Rally in Washington.

Here's another report on the Jacksonville protest emailed to me by Swift vet Pete Webster:

-----

Kerry came to visit us today. Just heard about it last night and we sent out an immediate alarm, "One if by land, two if by sea...." We rallied our forces and were there to welcome him, about fifty of us with a bull horn. We hit him pretty hard. We stuck our Kerry Lied signs right in his face. He ducked down behind the seat, as he went past us, in his big black Tahoe, the SUV he doesn't own (just uses), so we couldn't get another photo of his face looking all pissed off. Some town meeting. Only the loving faithful were allowed inside. The tickets were only sold to registered democrats who voted in the last primary. Not exactly what I'd call an exercise in democracy. Then, he hid inside the auditorium for over an hour after the meeting was over to try to out wait us. I can't believe he is so afraid of a few Swifties. The most impressive factor was the public support.

We had 8-12 folks who passed by give us the Kerry salute; you know, the extended middle finger so often seen expressing male disgust. Another half dozen yelled at us from across the street, but the multitude of folks driving by constantly flashed a thumbs up and honked at us saying, "Way to go," as they drove past. Their numbers were legion. Quite satisfying. We had some Vietnam vets, a couple black vets, Some marines, some women, and a few college kids; quite a nice mix. We were constantly being interviewed and made all three evening news programs. My wife's big banner was the centerpiece. She made a huge replica of the Vietnam campaign ribbon with big black letters across the front saying, "Kerry Lied." It was a hit.

The media reported it was "sold out" and "SRO," etc Well, I stood out side the main entrance for five hours, from two hours before it began until an hour after it was over, and watched the audience come and go. They could not have numbered more than five to seven hundred folks, total. What happened was just this. The tickets were totally controlled by the Democratic HQ who knew how many they had sold, or disbursed. They then determined the size of the room they would need, to ensure it would be crowded, and had the partitions adjusted to fit. Clever! If they had opened the entire convention center up, they would have bounced around like a pea in a cavern. What a fraud. We were a hit anyway, but man, I'm exhausted from standing on the concrete, side walk. We gave real meaning to Operation Street Corner. Baby, we owned that street corner. They got me a chair about half way through, but I was still on my feet too much for my liking.

-- Pete Webster

The Vietnam Ribbon banners are brilliant!

We need a Hints to Heloise post about reproducing them.

This campaign is providing some of the best street theater in the history of protest. These people are very talented, especially the guy who did the Kerry & Ter-Ray-Zuh caricature. The slogans are great too; I'm sitting at school right now trying not to laugh out loud at the "Donation for Kerry" sign. I love the "First vote on terrorism" sign too.

Semper Fi and Bravo Zulu, Florida kicked butt again!

It was a pleasure to meet all of you gentlemen, and Apollo. Apollo was much more well behaved than the Kerry Kool-aid drinkers.

Oxen, I missed you, how did that happen? It was quite a crowd.

I especially enjoyed the cops...either in their cruisers or just getting off duty, they ALL either stopped by or honked for encouragement. We were on a block between the police station and the on ramp for I-10 and I-95 during a shift change, in addition to the dozen or so assigned to the event. Many sported their Bush-Cheney stickers on their metal report pads and private vehicles.

I never stopped with the Woo-hoo's!!! and Cheiftain caught me- as always, with my mouth open.

And yes, Spookbrat, I got rid of my big southern hair. Now that I am a Grandma, I am trying to keep it simple. Don't worry about the book, as I said, they tend to have a life of their own and I never loan them out with an expectation of seeing them again!

The Young Republicans provided alot of energy and Flip Flops. Apparently some pictures of the protest were shown on some of the local news updates, because my daughter called me on my cell (I hadn't told her I had cut out of work early) to let me know that "your kind of people" are protesting at the Prime.

I had to cut out early for a friend's wedding rehearsal, but the Freep was truly the best part of my day. Next, time, I will stay for the after action party!

One even bought a Swiftvet sticker from Chieftain.

It was nice to meet you in DC as well. That was a wonderful event for all who got to attend. Do you know if they have the DVD of it available yet?

Thanks for posting this. I was fortunate to talk with Pete yesterday. He gave me his card and dang it, I left it my truck and didn't have his name when I posted this. I didn't know he had arranged busses to come to from JAX to DC for the Kerry Lied rally. Had I known, I would have gladly taken one of those seats instead of driving for 26 hours round trip!

I showed him the Swiftee sticker and told him how much money we had raised for swiftvets with it, but he wasn't interested in one. I think he said his truck was 'stickered out'. I did see a pickup with LOTS of AGAINST Kerry stuff maybe that's his in the thread!

Please email him this thread link, as I know you have already.
