"There was a counter-protest by the REVverrrend JACKssonnn somewhere in Florida that fizzled, too, IIRC. Hmmm... more "dogs" called off?"

As one of the proud Florida FReepers, I can tell you that the incident happened in West Palm Beach and was initiated by FReeper, Gene McDonald (aka: "SeekingTheTruth", who showed up with his bull horn and some other FReepers.

They positioned themselves right in front of the platform that was set up for Jackass Jackson to speak from and shouted him down. (I've pinged Gene to this thread, and he can give more details if he likes).

When the whole mess was transferred to Tallahasse, Fl., many of us headed up there and spent the weekend protesting in front of the State Capitol. C-Span carried our protest and I have it on videotape. LOL

Some of us were in the Judge Sanders Saul freep in Tallahassee as well. I saw myself on C-Spam several times the next day. The counter-demonstrators were a rag-tag bunch of about a half-dozen left-over '60's flotsam and jetsam, strumming guitars badly and singing worse.

I have the tape. C-Spam gave us pretty good coverage at this particular freep.
