Kerry in JAX 9-21-04 After action report.
Once again Kerry swooped into JAX for a 5 hr hate Bush rantfest.
It still confuses me on how tickets for this Kerry event were "sold", this was a "Townhall" meeting after all. A very ONE-SIDED townhall meeting.
I didn't find out where or when Kerry was going to be here until Monday night around 6pm.
I guess Kerry doesn't like giving us "protesters" time to plan a counter-rally.
Down at curb side:
Two things still amaze me about Kerry supporters, they are either blinded by hate for Pres. Bush or when pressed with questions on their one line quips they spit out while walking by don't hold up after I start asking them questions.
One guy walked by and sniped----
Guy: "BUSH LIED"
Ox: "Oh really? How did he lie?"
Guy: "He lied about WsMD, he said Iraq had WsMD."
Ox: "So you're telling me Saddam NEVER had WsMD? Then what did the 5,000 people gassed at Haljab die from!?"
Guy: "Well, fine then where did they go?"
Ox: "Hummm, Syria!"
Guy: "Ah Ha, See Saddam got rid of them."
Ox: [rolling eyes and walking away]
Some Kerry supporters REALLY liked us they kept give us the "YOUR #1" sign with their middle finger.
I did hear one old guy, with Kerry stickers on him, say "Bush caused 9-11" during a conversation w/ a Bush supporter trying to get him to give us some reason why he was FOR Kerry and not against Bush.
I got interview by a Times Union reporteret (JENNIFER CHILDRESS). Explained the whole Section 3, Amendment 14 argument on why Kerry can't Constitutionally be elected Pres.
But after reading her article.........."while outside about two dozen people held signs in protest of Kerry's visit." was all we got.
It was GREAT hearing all the people honking their car horns as they drove by. MANY thumbs up and W's/4's.
One of the Kerrylied vets mentioned that he was noticing alot of African-American men and women driving by giving us the thumbs up.
I stayed until Kerry left around 6:10pm.......ugggggggg
I did get to see Carl Cameron give his 6pm news cast.
Before his news cast he walked across the street to get something out of his car and fixed his hair by using his window as a mirror.
He was about 50 feet from my so I put two thumbs up and yelled "FOX NEWS ROCKS!" he said "Thanks" after I had his attention I yelled back "Brit Hume should moderate a Debate."
GREAT FReep, I can't wait till Bush comes to JAX!
