Patriots Rally For America - Live Report

Dave Dilegge - Live From DC | 20 April 2002 | Mustang

[Mustang]

Received two cell calls from Dave. The stage is set. The flags are waving. The weather is great. They're ready to Roll! Around 0945 the crowd was 50+ including Kristinn, sauropod, Leadpenny, Angelwood, Exit 148, GoreWarVet, Dutchy, Congressman Billy Bob, Black Agnes, TaxMan, TGSL DeComa, WhoKnowsWhatEvil, FireBrand, Country Dummy, Stan Waite, Pro2aMom, 0351Dog. (please pardon any mispelled "names" or omissions. The cell connections were poor).

Around 1015 the crowd was continuing to grow, with some spill over from the Peacenik/anarchist nitwits. Dave reports that it was the port-o-potties that attracted them. But our fearless Freepers labelled the doors "Patriots" and Patriot Women". It seems to be turning them away.

More to follow. Mustang sends from Florida.

God bless you freepers and all who love freedom!

I am so PO'ed that C-Span is giving a national stage to the leftist haters of America and assorted nazis Jew haters and communists and ignores you patriots!

[bourbon]

actually, from the looks of the pro-pali crowd on C-SPAN, you should probably be calling some of them "illegal aliens" or "sleeper agents."

Where is our Patriots' rally located in relation to the Commie one? (Sorry if it's been posted before... I'm a bit late in the game here.) Thanks.

StarFan, I just heard them claim they are 50,000. I believe they are lying.

Now they've got an imam talking about Washington's warning against "entangling alliances". Don't you love it when communists quote the founding fathers?

[Registered]

Exactly the number I estimated from a number of freeze frames.

Your post bears repeating, Walkin Man... I agree totally.

"I am an American. I'm here to support the war on terrorism as opposed to those people over there who hate America," said Dave Quaadman of New York, gesturing across the street.

WOO-HOO!!!

[diotima]

By the time this is over, the America Haters will total one million people and the Patriots will be three people and a dog. Mark my words, the press is disgusting.

I think it would be awesome if next time, someone brings a PC with wireless internet hookup, and a webcam. FR could webcast the entire event! Just think, we could be watching it now. Wow. What do you think of this? Technically, it should be pretty easy, shouldn't it? I think it would be worth the effort, and in a situation like today with C-SPAN not showing it, we would be THE source. This could then be done at many other FReeps in the future, too.

Rally Update:

Dave reports things started to get dicey for a few minutes.The radical nitwits, about 40, continue to attempt their disruptions with their bullhorns blarring "F-You" and 1 finger salutes as they march up and down Constitution Ave adjacent to our Rally. Dave stated that these "peace people" are extremely violent. More Capitol Police are on the scene.

Staff Sergeant Christopher Breman, USA, in uniform, was speaking as Dave and I were on the phone. He was recently awarded for his heroism when he rescued numerous folks from the burning Pentagon on 9/11.

The wind is picking up with possible thunder showers.

P.S.Site is kinda slow,be patient.

[diotima]

One has to wonder where the money comes from to bus all these American hating idiots to DC? It's terrible that these hate mongers are permitted to appear "mainstream" while the real patriots are ignored.

[StarFan]

Disappointed to hear Jim Angle on Fox reporting that hundreds of thousands have descended on Washington. Is he seeing double?

[hellinahandcart]

He's right, they are violent. It's barely beneath the surface.

They've started marching now and C-Span's coverage ended. They better not start anything with our guys...

[hellinahandcart]

Are they showing any of this on FOX, or anywhere else? I have a feeling the only way I'll see anything else today is if a riot breaks out.
