I made it home - I actually took 107 digital pictures and have been working on uploading them since I got home.

I figured I better take a break and say HELLO! This rally was fantastic!!! Was great to meet everyone too!

See you all in a bit... going to go work on these pictures. Hopefully, I'll be able to post a few here in a bit. :o)

IAmRight: Thanks. We All Rock.

Others: OK - I need pictures, or I start posting more kitty pictures.

I see it differently, Grim. I see it as the media playing up her "victimization" at the hands of the evil VRWC. She was such a minimal player in the grand scheme that she isn't worthy of the coverage she received.

The rally was so positive, so family-oriented, so UPLIFTING that the coverage of her smells to high heaven, IMHO.

Over 10,000 people rallied at Jones Plaza in support of the United States of America. What a crowd; what a great rally.

I haven't seen so many US flags at one place in Houston since the GOP State Convention 2-1/2 years ago.

FReep On!

Eddie Johnston claims that it was he that disabled the sound system. If he did (don't take anything from his mouth at face value), wouldn't put it past him.

[Txslady]

Thanks and you all were wonderful!!! Couldn't have met a nicer bunch of people! *smiles*

Can't wait until the next H.A.T.S event!

[Humidston]

Well, he didn't specifically compare - but he made sure to remind his audience how much larger the anti-war protest count was, "All Over The World."

[Houmatt]

To quote Gordon Sinclair:

I was there! I saw that!

I had a great time!

And it was nice to put faces to names.

Still did not like Queen Sheila being there, though.

Does anyone know if Ellis Buchanan is a Freeper?

[Txslady]

Great pictures Eaker!
