<p>Once again, busloads of leftist activists will descend upon Fayetteville, NC in an attempt to demoralize the will of our American troops by targetting their loved ones with antiwar drivel.</p> <p>The unifying factor of all of these groups is anti-Americanism utilizing continued propaganda themes of "Bush lied" and "No blood for oil". The mob will also import a number of speakers who have allegedly lost loved ones in Iraq, and will create some sort of symbolic display reflecting the number of dead. (They have used pairs of boots and black umbrellas in the past.) They will (undoubtedly through an unintentional oversight) neglect to display any symbolism reflecting the number of Americans killed in the WTC, or Iraqis killed by Saddam or Women beaten by the Taliban, or the number of Afghanis and Iraquis and Palestinians and Ukrainians and (soon) Egyptians who now have the ability to vote.</p>

How about when we go to school or work tomorrow, we paint our fingers purple in support of the Iraqis?

OK, we've all talked about doing it - Drop by here and report all the Damn Dimes you're specifically going out and spending today. Talk about getting 'bang-for-your-bucks', we can counter-protest the loony lefties today, drive the DUmmies nutz, celebrate the innaguration of OUR President, and stimulate the economy - all at the same time! Let's see just how much money the FReepers can spend today!

For over a year now, an ongoing battle between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel groups has taken place in the streets of San Francisco. Long used to running the show, the anti-Israel crowd is now routinely counter-protested by groups like San Francisco Voice for Israel and Protest Warrior. And judging by the behavior at last weekend’s counter-protest, they’re not too happy about it. The following after-report from San Francisco Voice for Israel provides the details. They say that when a caged rat is cornered, it lashes out. A perfect example of this was the Justice In Palestine rally on Saturday, November 13,...

We had a very, very successful day at Santa Barbara City College with our counter display against the "Iraq Memorial" put together by the commie group Veterans for Peace. The "Iraq Memorial" is also called "Arlington West" and is 1,000 small wooden crosses stuck in the ground with the names of the American soldiers that have lost their lives so far in the war. Nice sentiment but too bad the Veterans for Peace feel that it is necessary to use this platform to push their anti-war, anti-American agenda. There are lots of informational posters put up that talk about the...

I'm pleased to announce that today's FReep of the leftists in the heart of downtown Atlanta was a complete success! In spite of the rain and extremely heavy traffic which kept some from attending, and made yours truly about 45 minutes late to the FReep, we definitely made ourselves heard. All in all, we had about 10 Freepers, Protest Warriors, and College Republicans from Emory University present for today's action! Unfortunately, our camerawoman was stuck in traffic due to torrential rain in the Marietta area, and was unable to attend, so I regret that we have no pictures. :( One...

Operation: Little Five A joint operation of Free Republic, ProtestWarrior, and the Emory University College Republicans All FReepers and lurkers in good standing welcome. The great state of Georgia is now a focal point of liberal anger, partially due to the brave stance taken by Senator Zell Miller against his party's veer toward the far left. The AJC op/ed columnists, led by the vitriolic Cynthia Tucker, have spewed little aside from filthy lies against our President and our troops in this pre-election period. And now, the peacenik neo-commies over at GeorgiaPeace.org have decided they're going to hold weekly rallies in...

Marchers, Conservative Counter-Demonstrators Clash at Texas Peace Rally Posted by Keath Saturday October 2, 2004 08:37:13 PM Updated: Saturday October 2, 2004 09:38:03 PM by Keath Some marchers at today's downtown peace rally to mark the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi responded agressively to a handful of conservative counter-demonstrators, leading to a bit of shoving and one marcher being thrown to the ground by police. While the marchers were peaceful and polite in general, a couple of the demonstrators physically confronted a small group holding signs in support of the president and the war in Iraq.

Next Sunday, 10.17.04, liberty will rise, as PW debuts our new film chronicling our battle against the Left at the RNC. Plans are in the works to have a live premiere using a technology that will allow for quality instant streaming, followed by a video chat with Kfir and me. We're going to encourage local chapters to hold screening parties, so be sure you're registered at HQ if interested. And afterwards of course the film will be available for free download. We're going to let the film speak for itself, but we'll tell you two things about it. First, it's...

Several wives and mothers of serving troops are conducting a weekly counterprotest of a Kerry/antiwar protest at the corner of Laurel Canyon and Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, CA, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. There have been a couple of minor incidents (one restraining order in place and a prosecution for assault pending) but we need a few more bodies to hold the two corners facing the lefty crowd. The point is not to provoke confrontations but to provide a presence. We can provide flags and signs or you're welcome to bring your own. Anybody who can get down there is...

After making a splash in the pro-Palestinian stronghold of Berkeley the weekend before, members of San Francisco Voice for Israel (SFV4I) and ProtestWarrior.com returned to their usual San Francisco stomping grounds for the latest round of pro-Israel activism. On Saturday, October 2, around 40 of them gathered across the street from the Horace Mann Middle School in the Mission District to protest a conference being held on the premises. Hosted by the Justice in Palestine Coalition, the conference was titled, "The Struggle for Palestine: 4th Anniversary of the Intifada." Sponsors included International A.N.S.W.E.R., the ADC (American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee), the ISM...

While I can get on the server, here is a short after action report from kristinn on the D.C. Chapter's "PRO-AMERICA COUNTER-DEMO OF LEFTIST PROTEST AT ARL. NAT'L CEMETERY." First was a trip to Kerry's house, organized by Ted Sampley's group. About a dozen showed up. The police arrived about an hour after the start of permitted time and blocked the street. A couple dozen FReepers and lurkers showed up at the counter-protest at Arlington Cemetery. There were about 500 on the "other side." Arlington Memorial Bridge is a major road, at least six lanes wide, that runs across the...

For the past year or so, members of San Francisco Voice for Israel (SFV4I) and the local chapter of ProtestWarrior.com have been counter-protesting the so-called pro-Palestinian crowd regularly in San Francisco. And last weekend, they took the fight to Berkeley--to great success. The following after-report was written by Dan Kliman, a member of the SFV4I organizing committee:On a beautiful Sunday afternoon in South Berkeley, the anti-Israel faithful gathered to hear two of their favorite anti-Israel propagandists. San Francisco Voice for Israel was right there to counter them. In an event sponsored by Jews for a Free Palestine and the Middle...

The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades has a great program, called The Patch Foundation: The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades established the PATCH (Painters and Allied Trades for Children's Hope) Foundation to improve the lives of children in need and to ensure that their futures are bright and productive. IUPAT, as an international coalition of working men and women, understands that our children are not only our most precious resource, but also the key to a prosperous future. We recognize the important role we can play in bringing the best into our children's lives. And just...

Alright, we haven't finalized plans for this yet, but we're planning an impromptu protest outside of Chris Matthews' "Hardball" program tomorrow.It will be held around Herald Square and take place between three and four p.m. in the afternoon. These plans are tentative of course, and depend upon the level of support we receive. Protest Warrior has allowed us to use their signs, so don't worry about that aspect of this demonstration. If you are interested, or know of any other freepers, conventioneers, or likeminded Republicans who may be interested in refuting the lies spouted by that loutish, low-rent loudmouth, please...

If local political activism could be explained in Olympic terms, then the latest round of the "Middle East Match" played out it in San Francisco on Sunday, August 29. About 25 or so members of International A.N.S.W.E.R. and a group calling itself Bay Area Palestine gathered at the busy intersection of Powell and Market Streets for their latest protest of all things Israel. And in what has become a regular occurrence, around 30 members of San Francisco Voice for Israel and Protest Warrior were on hand to counter-protest. Indeed, their tireless efforts on behalf of Israel have become so reliable...

On Saturday, July 24, San Francisco’s Mission District was the site of a curious spectacle. Members of the Free Palestine Alliance (all 30 of them) had gathered at the busy corner of 24th and Mission to protest what they call the ''Israeli Apartheid Wall'' (otherwise known as a security fence) by holding a ''Solidarity Fast for Justice and Peace.'' And conversely, members of Protest Warrior and San Francisco Voice for Israel (SFV4I) were there to counter-protest the protesters. The event was ripe with political theater. The protesters had erected a large wall-like structure in reference to Israel’s security barrier, while...

I posted information about this counterprotest on ProtestWarrior.com, but also wanted to see if any FReepers would be interested in doing a counterprotest this Saturday, July 17, in Seattle. Liberals will be there to protest the National Governor's Association, but as we all know, they will be there to oppose the war with Iraq and support socialist causes. We need to stand up for President Bush and capitalism. Here is an excerpt from one of the posters that the liberal activist group, NGAaction (www.ngaaction.org), has created: Save our social programs-In the last several years, both state and federal funds have...
