Free Republic

This is a plug for those who attended and for those who supported us.

This morning, Bill Bennett had a caller who organizes counter-protests supporting of our military in West Chester, PA. I'd like to support his efforts by showing up, too, but I'm having trouble getting any information on the counter-protest group. He mentioned that he worked in conjunction with Gathering of Eagles. I was unable to find anything on their site. Does anyone know how I can go about finding this guy's contact info? I don't even know where or when they demonstrate. Thanks in advance.

A blog written by antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan and posted on MichaelMoore.com criticizes Charlotte police for allowing counter-protesters to "try to intimidate us" during Sheehan's antiwar rally Tuesday in Bryant Park. But in a memo to top police administrators, one captain said officers had no issues during the two-hour event and expressed surprise at the complaints. "At the School of the Assassins in Columbus, GA, and in Charlotte, NC, we ran into similar problems: police presence that seemed to be there to foster violence. At both places the neo-Nazi, pro-war fascist group "Gathering of Eagles" came out to mostly try...

At our normal weekly counter-protest against the Toxic Left extremists on the corner of College Rd & Oleander Dr. in Wilmington, NC, the Toxic Leftists announced their intentions to protest on Memorial Day. Despicable enough in itself, they are expecting no counter-protest on top of it. We have decided to show up anyway. Our signage is in the vein of Protest Warrior. our numbers our few (1-3), but our guerrila tactics work like a charm. Please, if it is at all possible show up tomorrow anytime from 10AM-1PM. 20+ signs are available if you don't have any. Join us to...

The pathetic and mouthy anti-war whiners known as The World Can’t Wait -Hawaii are planning an anti-war rally at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu tomorrow night (friday May 25th) due to the Hawaii Freedom Rally being held there by Sean Hannity , Col Oliver North and Rep. Newt Gingrichhttps://premieremarketing.usANY Hawaii Eagles are needed to attend and counter this antiwar group outside the Convention Center . Guarentee the TV news media will be there trying to put the liberal spin on this one.... MANY good military families are expected to attend and will be potentially confronted and offended by these...

Antiwar activists from around the country will celebrate Mothers Day by converging on Washington, DC, where they will demand Congress end the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Five days of activism, sponsored by the women-for-peace group CODEPINK and "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan's Gold Star Families for Peace, will culminate in what organizers call a "Mother of a March" on May 14. "We want to get people out and get them active," said Tina Richards of Salem, Missouri. "We're getting in the way [and saying] no more business as usual until you pass legislation that brings our troops home and takes care...

CHICO - Peace activist Cindy Sheehan is scheduled to give a talk at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Harlan Adams Theatre at Chico State University. Doors open at 6:30. Tickets can be picked up at the Chico Peace and Justice Center, Pommes Frites and Chico Natural Foods. Current ticket holders will get priority seating. Sheehan was to have come to Chico this week, but because of a scheduling conflict, she had to cancel, said Sue Hilderbrand, director of the Chico Peace and Justice Center. Hilderbrand said she hoped Sheehan will be able to make other appearances in Chico next week in...

It was a mercifully cool day in Fayetteville, NC this March 17 for our annual harassment of the moonbats who are trying to demoralize our Troops. I was a little late (unlike the other side, I took a shower first), but cf_river_rat was at our usual place across from Rowan Park early enough to cover my slack. We set up the sound system with my amp and speakers and cf_river_rat's portable generator and computers (doubling as CD players). On my way in, I passed members of Rolling Thunder guarding war memorials that the moonbats would pass during their parade. I'm...

A group of Washington County residents who took part in the counterprotest said the experience Saturday was a positive one. For Clear Spring resident and Vietnam War veteran Larry Michael, the counterprotest - his first - was a way for him to express support for the troops. He feels the war must be won. Showing weakness to the opposition will only make them stronger, he said. Police no longer give official estimates but said privately that perhaps 10,000 to 20,000 anti-war demonstrators marched, with a smaller but still sizable number of counterprotesters also out in force. A January anti-war protest,...

As war protesters marched toward Arlington Memorial Bridge en route to the Pentagon yesterday, they were flanked by long lines of military veterans and others who stood in solidarity with U.S. troops and the Bush administration's cause in Iraq. Many booed loudly as the protesters passed, turned their backs to them or yelled, "If you don't like America, get out!" Several thousand vets, some of whom came by bus from New Jersey, car caravans from California or flights from Seattle or Michigan, lined the route from the bridge and down 23rd Street, waving signs such as "War There Or War...

How many times have you sat in front of the television over the last four years, watching anti-war activists march on Washington, chase the ROTC off your local college campus, vandalize war memorials, insult the troops and wreak havoc under the surrender banner? How many times have you thought to yourself: What can I do? Here is the answer: Get off the sofa and join the Gathering of Eagles on March 17 in Washington, D.C. On that day, well-funded, celebrity-studded anti-war groups plan to march to the Pentagon on a protest route that will take them past the Vietnam Veterans...

As the Eagles are gathering in Washington DC on March 17th to make a stand against the forces of evil, we, in Los Angeles will be gathering to do the same, right in the belly of the beast...Hollywood. ANSWER plans to march up the street from their headquarters on Argyl and Hollywood Boulevard starting at noon, to an area in front of the Kodak Theater. Community activists Ted Hayes and Deborah Leigh will spearhead the "questioning" of ANSWER. Please come and support the troops, the Commander-in-Chief, America and those fighting to remain liberated! Now is the time to end the...

The peaceniks strike back. Last week, I wrote about Joshua Sparling, a disabled 82nd Airborne Division veteran who says he was mistreated by anti-war protestors at a Jan. 29 rally in Washington, D.C.. Sparling and a few dozen others went to the National Mall to stage a counterprotest amid the tens of thousands of people denouncing U.S. involvement in Iraq. Sparling says he was cursed at, called names and threatened with physical harm. Since then, calls and letters have come in from the other side. A number of blogs and Internet sites have detailed Sparling’s activities, too. All together, they...

The purpose of this thread will be to pool our resources and ideas to counter the attempted take-over of our nation’s capital and foreign policy. It is not the place to voice your disgust with those that feel it is necessary to present a street presence to counter the dregs of society seeking to undermine and destroy our country and our leadership. If that is your purpose, please move along. On January 27, 2007, Thunder90 posted a thread to advise us of the next convergence on our nations capital by the anti-American hate-mongers. This gives us SEVEN WEEKS to organize...

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all Freepers and lurkers in good standing, as well as other patriotic Americans, to join us in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, January 27, 2007, for a rally in support of victory in Operation Iraqi Freedom and the Global War on Terror, and a counter-gathering along the route of an 'antiwar' march later that day.We are calling this gathering the Winter Patriots Rally. The anti-American left used the phrase 'Winter Soldier' during the Vietnam war in a propaganda campaign to get America to surrender to our enemies--not defeat them--by turning inside out a Revolutionary...

On Sunday the 19th nationwide the left will be demonstrating at Army bases, the focus of which is Ft Benning, GA Here in AZ they will be at the gate of Ft Huachuca. Good time to launch some truth missiles.

#77 at Walter Reed - October 6, 2006 Last week, bmwcyle stated "It never rains on the DC Chapter" and sure enough his prediction came true! Despite dire predictions from the weather readers of high wind and rain, we stayed dry and delivered our message of thanks to the Wounded Warriors and their families and caregivers. Trooprally [Mr.] wrote nearly all the text content this week (ThanksTR!); I just added pics. Squeegee was predictably obnoxious. He asked "How's Tom Foley tonight?", "How is Speaker Hastert?", "I hear your leaders killed a lot of our soldiers this week." What a maroon....

#76-Fall Arrives at Walter Reed - September 29 We gathered once again on the sidewalks in front of Walter Reed to deliver our message of thanks to the Wounded Warriors and their families and caregivers, and to counter-protest the Code Pink commies who continue to haunt and taunt our service members. It was a great night with another large crowd of FReepers and FRiends and a small crowd of pitiful Pinkos. Setup - Trooprally, TBP, BufordP, Olgaesq01, and tgslTakoma. Kristinn hams it up. Trooprally [Mrs] catches the setup of the Mother Of All Banners (MOAB). She then captures Bill from...

#74-Pinkos SMASHed at Walter Reed - September 15The Army (BlackFive), Navy (Citizen SMASH), Air Force (Tantor) and Marines (Major Pain) converged on the sidewalks in front of Walter Reed to deliver a stinging message to the Code Pink commies. Double Trouble - Citizen SMASH and Maj Pain survey the battleground. Citizen SMASH came to Washington on official gummint business but he did not leave his passion for pestering Pinkos in San Diego. Week after week he’s joined the FReepers at Walter Reed celebrating and thanking our wounded heroes. He’s also been winning “hearts and minds� among the commies waaaaay down...

Klan holds rally at GettysburgGETTYSBURG, Pa. - About 30 Ku Klux Klan members proclaimed hatred for blacks, Jews, gays and Latinos as they stood behind barricades at the Civil War battlefield where Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. Gordon Young of the World Knights of the Ku Klux Klan also called Saturday for the U.S. to pull its troops out of Iraq and use them to patrol the Mexican border to stop illegal immigration. The World Knights obtained a permit in July for the two-hour demonstration. The National Park Service granted it under the group's First Amendment rights to free...

International ANSWER held a rally in San Franciso today to "protest" the existence of Israel. There was a lively counter-protest across the street, organized by SF Voice for Israel (SFV4I), Stand With Us, Protest Warrior and others. The two sides were separated by barricades and tons of police officers--looked like the entire SFPD. We got there late in the day and made up the smaller afternoon contigent (maybe 30 people), but at its height, I was told there were around 400 people, which is huge for SF! Reportedly, there was a few thousand on the other side at its height....

You have to go to the link to check out the photos: http://www.zombietime.com/israeli_consulate_protest_july_13_2006/ I was there. Huge pro-Israel counter-protest. And anyone walking by would know immediately who the enemy is. Let's put it this way, there were only American flags on one side (can you guess which one?). And the pro-Palis chanting slogans in favor of Hamas and Hezbollah didn't help. Not to mention the keffiyeh-clad terrorist wannabees and the headscarf brigage. The crusty old lefties chanted dutifully along and the "Jewish Voice for Peace" morons did their suicidal best to cheer for their own demise. The usual suspects... Too...

July 8, 2006 - Hundreds of Israeli and Palestinian supporters held demonstrations tonight in Westwood in response to recent violence in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian backers holding graphic signs showing Israeli soldiers involved in the conflict prayed outside the West L-A federal building. Across the street, pro-Israel activists staged a counter-protest, waving American, English and Israeli flags and displaying al-Qaida signs and fake rockets. Israel launched an offensive almost two weeks ago after Palestinian militants carried out a brazen cross-border attack on a military outpost, capturing a 19-year-old Israeli soldier. Palestinian officials say Israeli troops have killed 32 Palestinians in...

A Honduran teenager faces deportation after being charged with stealing an anti-immigration protest sign. Joel Martines, 19, was arrested May 11 on charges he stole the sign outside a convenience store where day laborers seek work. The store has been the scene of protests supporting stricter enforcement of immigration laws. While Martines was in custody, immigration authorities determined he entered the country illegally last year through Texas.

On May 19, the film "The Da Vinci Code" will open nationwide. I do not wish to repeat the number of blasphemous and heretical statements suggested by this abomination, for this is not the reason why I post. I am writing because knowing these falsehoods, we have to say that we do NOT want to make this type of film to become dominant in America as our entertainment. I am aware of boycotts planned against "The Da Vinci Code". And while we think that such tactics are effective, we know the opposite is true. By creating controversy, we are just...

It's been a long time since these Friday night revelries began. They weren't all as positive and fun as they are these days. For those who'd like to step back in history, here's a list of reports chronicling all of the WR FReeps as compiled and updated by BufordP. Pay special attention to Week 40 -- that's when concretebob kicked CodePink to the curb and we took ownership of ALL FOUR CORNERS.Tonight was clear as a bell in contrast to last week's downpour. Lots of folks turned out to take advantage of such a nice night and celebrate our heroes...

ALERT! The Great American Spend-A-Lot! Here's a great way to justify a shopping spree--where your legal status and your legal tender meet. Monday, May 1st, while Latino activists are encouraging other Latinos to walk out on their jobs and boycott spending in any businesses, we want you to do the exact opposite. SPEND, SPEND, AND SPEND! To reward you and your financial patriotism, KFI AM 640 (Los Angeles) and the "John and Ken Show" will be reimbursing buyers for your legal citizen-spending spree.

friend, Dan Stein, of Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has an excellent idea: Meatless Monday. If you are a vegetarian or a practicing Catholic who doesn't eat meat on Lenten Fridays, this shouldn't be hard. And for the rest of us carnivores, we need to send a message to illegal aliens and their employers. On Monday, Tyson and other meat-packers (Seaboard, Cargill, Hormel, etc.) are giving their alien employees the day off to protest necessary immigration reform. They want to show us what a day without the "services" of illegal aliens would be like. On Monday, Just Say "No"...

Those who participated in the NO AMNESTY Rally at this afternoon in Kansas City were instrumental in getting the ball rolling for future events. Reception of passers by was positive as well. Your comments on the rally are welcome.

Ladies and gents, a while back I posted a Call to Protest in the hopes that those of us who oppose continued illegal immigration would stand up and be counted. I had hoped that such a call would be picked up and trumpeted around the local blogsphere in an effort to garner attention for the cause. Apparently I misjudged the general citizenry of Houston. I recieved a total of 13 favorable responses compared with the tens of thousands of illegals turning out on a nearly daily basis. This is beyond sad. This is pathetic. If we cannot turn out a...

Members of the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic livened up Cindy Sheehan's die-in at the White House tonight.We started arriving at 6 p.m. on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House.

We had about a dozen or more scattered about in small groups engaging the anti-American leftists gathered to play extras in Cindy Sheehan's Traveling Freak Show of Treason and Tragedy.Cindy's latest publicity gambit is to stage die-ins in front of the White House to 'observe' the 2000th death of American soldiers in Iraq.

On a day when they knew they would be outnumbered and out-shouted, more than 200 supporters of the Iraq war nonetheless gathered yesterday at the U.S. Navy Memorial to get out their message. They were military families and members of such organizations as Move America Forward and RightMarch.com and Protest Warrior, and they were determined to be heard. The crowd cheered when William Greene, president of RightMarch.com, called the antiwar protesters "the Sheehanistas." They cheered again when he said: "Our voices will not be silenced. We are the majority." … Counter-protesters will hold their major event of the weekend today...

I am planning on doing my duty as a former US Marine and an American patriot, by coming to DC on Sat 9/24 to counter protest the despicable, anti-American scumbags associated with Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore and the rest of the liberal panty wastes. Unfortunately, none of my friends can go with me that weekend and I'm not thrilled about driving by myself. That said, I am hoping that there are other people from Long Island, NY that might want to pull expenses and head down to D.C. together. I want to head down Fri night and come back Sat...

Here is a BLOG from a TN National Guard soldier in Iraq about Cindy Sheehan's activities. From Razors BLOG That woman in Texas outside the Bush Ranch for instance. She aggravates me, even though I can't even remember her name. The President is trying to relax a little bit from what must be one of the highest pressured jobs in the world, and she has to go and bring a circus of media to squat on his freaking front yard. Give the man a break Lady! The President didn't kill your son, your son did something called VOLUNTEERING! He signed...

With all the radio talk shows and even television media almost swarming over the story about Code Pink-Os weekly Friday night blood dance at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, the leaders of Code Pink are trying to say they don't have signs demeaning of our soldiers and their mission. They are trying to say that theirs is a somber and supportive "peace vigil." And that is a bald-faced LIE.I have been remiss in not getting my photos up on Webshots in a timely manner, because BillF's photos have been fabulous, and I haven't felt any pressure.Well, now the pressure is...

Anti-war protesters camped outside U.S. President George Bush's Texas ranch are being confronted by military families who claim they are disrespectful. The war's opponents are led by California activist Cindy Sheehan, who blames Bush for her son's death in Iraq. Since Aug. 6, a group called Veterans for Peace has begun placing crosses bearing the names of dead soldiers outside the ranch. But the crosses are being taken down by the dead soldiers' family members, the Washington Times said Thursday. Anti-war protesters "never asked for my permission to put up a cross for my son for their cause," said Gary...

To counter the Cindy Sheehan ditch home, support for US President George W. Bush is visual in the GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT "patriotic camp," according to AP writer Angela K. Brown. It’s right there in Crawford. The banner waves in summer breezes. Downtown Crawford has never been so proud — justly so. "Fort Qualls" is the official name of the campout. It’s in memory of Marine Lance Cpl. Louis Wayne Qualls who sacrificed his life in Iraq last autumn. His family informed media that Qualls signed up for the armed forces because he believed in New Iraq. Family members stated...
