'Then they had to endure a three-block stretch that was lined with around a thousand flag-waving, pro-American counter-protestors. The marchers at first tried to ignore the interlopers, but their self-control always seemed to break down right around the guy who was singing into a bullhorn “All we are saaaying, is give soap a chance.”

Middle East Times US anti-war protest numbers less than expected By Charles R. LarsonMiddle East Times Published September 16, 2007 What ought to have been the most massive protest ever in Washington, DC Saturday turned into a 1960s love fest, with leftover agendas and slogans from an earlier war. The long-planned march in Washington by the Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) antiwar coalition, petered out with a skimpy crowd of 25,000 protesters.  Organizers of the protest claim nearly 100,000 people marcheda from the White House to the Capitol to demand an immediate end to the...

As WAMM and other communist anti-war groups assembled at the Cathedral of St. Paul Saturday, over 25 counter-protesters gathered at nearby Triangle Park. The lefties didn't think of getting this prime section of space, spanning two long corners alongside their parade route. MN Freepers joined forces with TrueNorth activists, who are gathering folks to counterprotest kooks at next year's RNC Convention. On the steps of the cathedral, leftists displayed their wares... their signs... and their fake coffin, and readied to march. Kitty-corner, we readied our signs and bullhorns and greeted the marchers as they slithered by. Highlights: • Several dozen...

THIS is the face of the anti-war Left!I took this from the Navy Memorial side of the counterprotest today, 15 September 2007, Washington, DC. More left-wing insanity: The enemy: the Code Pinkos, trying their best to stir us up. The veterans who have turned their backs on their brothers and sisters. This "Free Palestine" character stood out. Accompanying the conspiracy nutjobs... http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v112/196/104/662887830/n662887830_199561_7230.jpg". Hugo Chavez fan. Don't know if he was an illegal or not. And the coup de gross:She just couldn't keep her mouth closed as well.

Tomorrow's antiwar protest on the National Mall is going to be so big, it's gotten notorious activist Cindy Sheehan to come out of "retirement." The nutty left-wing organization Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) has coordinated a rally at the White House, followed by a march to the Capitol and a "die-in," where 1,000 people are expected to lie down in front of the U.S. Capitol to symbolize the soldiers and Iraqis who have died in the war in Iraq. It is a tasteless and offensive PR stunt. It's no secret that ANSWER supporters are among the...

The arrangements are nearly complete: the word is out and the streets of Washington, D.C. will be lined with patriots Saturday, protecting our monuments from further defacement, supporting our troops, and demanding victory, not surrender, in the War on Terror. There will be anti-troop forces there to be sure, but they will NOT own the streets. The anarchist supporting group ANSWER is working to further embarrass our country by filling the streets with brainless protesters who want to overthrow our government and destroy our way of life. But, as we did last March, there will be a visible, vocal and...

Eagles Landing by Col. George "Bud" Day Posted 09/14/2007 On September 15, in a scene that America’s enemies are hoping mimics similar events in the 60s and 70s, a coalition of anti-American amateur anarchists will descend on the nation’s capital attempting to convince the US Congress to surrender in the War on Terror. They won’t know even know to whom they’d like us to surrender, nor what the terms of such a travesty might be. But their ilk didn’t care in the 70s and the new crowd doesn’t care now. But this time, also flocking to the Capitol with a...

CNSNews.com) - Organizers of an anti-war protest scheduled for Sept. 15 said Wednesday that the demonstration will be "unlike any other" as activists gather to demand an immediate end to the war. The protest, organized by Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), begins with a rally near the White House, continues with a march to the U.S. Capitol, and concludes with a "die-in" that organizers estimate will involve approximately 1,000 people lying down near the Capitol in a symbolic effort to represent dead U.S. soldiers and dead Iraqis.

"Dubbed "Operation Eagle Justice," the GOE events will start with a rally on the National Mall and conclude with a counter-demonstration along the ANSWER march route. "As ANSWER and their allies in the hate-America crowd will stumble by, we will treat them to some good old-fashioned, red-blooded American 'free speech,'" the group says on its Web site."

For those of you coming to Washington, D.C. for the Gathering of Eagles counter protest of the anti-America, anti-war protesters I suggest you bring a raincoat or umbrella because it's supposed to rain on Saturday.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Three suspected Islamist militants who were planning to attack American targets in Germany had orders to act by Sept. 15 and knew police were hot on their trail before their arrest, a magazine said on Saturday. The plan was foiled on Tuesday when police arrested two German converts to Islam and a Turk in the biggest German police investigation in the last 30 years. According to surveillance details published in Der Spiegel magazine, the men had been given a two-week deadline for their planned strikes in a late August call from northern Pakistan that was monitored by...

More than a dozen police officers converged at a corner of Lafayette Square yesterday, bringing with them a horse and extra handcuffs. Their target: a handful of demonstrators who had gathered to post two signs on an electrical box advertising a protest march Sept. 15 against the Iraq war.

September 15, 2007 A special call and welcome to the families of our lost and missing warriors Remember what we and our families went through simply because we followed our nations call and fought for freedom in Viet Nam? Remember that the liberal media and the anti-America movement hung us out to dry.......abandoned us, ridiculed us, spit on us, called us baby killers, called us "less than human", purposefully lied to Congress in stating we " raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones...

Okay, Eagles. We’re less than a week out from our first mission and less than two weeks from the second. We have moved Heaven and Earth and expended untold man-hours to get the logistics done. It is now up to each and every one of you to ruck up and support these missions at whatever level you are capable of. For some of you, that will mean showing up at one or both events. For others, that will mean supporting the missions from afar; either by faxing the letter we have posted or calling your members of Congress. Some of...

I don't plan to be in Washington on Sept. 15 or participate in ANSWER's demonstration for an immediate end to the war. Nevertheless, I support those who travel to make their case in our nation's capital. Michelle Malkin's praise for the Gathering of Eagles, a militant group preparing to curtail the free speech of groups like ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) sickens me ("Return of the Eagles," Commentary, Sunday). Every American has a right, granted by the First Amendment of our Constitution, to express views on the Iraq war. As a pro-military, patriotic citizen, I too...

It's time for America to decide a course of action to deal with the infection......allow the cancer to grow or cut the sucker out.

<p>The dog days of August have drawn to a close. This is the calm before the gathering political storm. On September 15, the far Left group ANSWER (”Act Now to Stop war and End Racism”) will descend on the nation’s capital to demand what they’ve been demanding for the last six years in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks: immediate withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan, immediate closure of the Guatanamo Bay detention facility and immediate release of every last suspected al Qaeda operative in American custody, immediate impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney, and immediate capitulation to our enemies at home and abroad.</p>

Dear PA, OH and WV Eagles,Right now, I have 40 seats on the bus firmly sold. That leaves me with 16 empty seats at this moment. I priced the bus fare of $45.00 to be as inexpensive as possible (breakfast included), so as many people as possible could afford to go.My challenge: With 16 unsold seats, I am going to be $720.00 short to pay Anderson Coach and Travel in full (Total $2404.00 for the 56 passenger bus). My final payment (being made by V V A 862) will be due in a few days.I need help to raise the...

I have a message for our gallant warriors and their families...Eagles will have your back and the back of your Commander, General Petraeus, in Washington, DC on September 15.....we will not abandon or betray over 200 years of warrior sacrifices to a minority willing to surrender it all. Victory is the only option.

...The Gathering of Eagles turnout was unprecedented. The Cindy Sheehanistas and socialist rabble-rousers had never been met and matched with such force. Now, the Eagles are organizing a return to Washington at a historic moment in the global war against jihad. Gen. David Petraeus, top commander in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker are expected to testify before the Senate on 9/11. Yes, that 9/11. Four days later, Sept. 15, is the deadline for the president to submit reports to Congress on how Iraq is meeting benchmarks for progress since the troop surge was announced. ANSWER will lead...

Timed to upstage the crucial September testimony about Iraq of Gen. David Petraeus and Amb. Ryan Crocker, the ANSWER organization (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) will hold a rally/protest in Washington, DC. But they will not be the only voice:

We are looking for a Gold Star, Blue Star, Veteran, patriot, family to join us in DC on Sept 16th-19th. You will be joining a group of families that support the WOT,the President and the troops. Please email me if you are interested. Deb

An anti-war group will file suit Monday afternoon claiming that the District of Columbia is infringing on its First Amendment rights by imposing $10,000 in fines for "improperly" posting fliers promoting a Sept. 15 march. The ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition last week received notices of violation from the D.C. Department of Public Works totaling $10,000 in fines for posters announcing a march in D.C. The notices require the group to remove the posters within 72 hours. The signs promote an anti-war march set for Sept. 15, the date that Gen. David Petraeus, the top...

What are the various blogs saying about the next Gathering of Eagles? Quite a bit, on both sides of the aisle. Here's what I found: First up, from Maverick News Network, comes this great lead-in about the Eagles: Just when the anti-American, pro-terrorist communists and anarchists at ANSWER thought it was safe to crawl out from under the sewer sludge they call home, and again attempt to intimidate our government into giving up the fight against terrorism, the Gathering of Eagles is primed to again offer a counter point of view in Washington, DC, in September. Next up is a...

Going into the Gathering of Eagles, I was unsure of what to expect from the people I was to be surrounded by. Bikers, mostly Vietnam veterans, were a group of people I never had spent time with. To put things bluntly, they looked intimidating and I didn't know what was coming. They were some of the nicest people I've ever met. Pretty much all of the folks I met were Fonda-hating, peacenik-bashing, victory-supporting patriots. Many of them still had a chip on their shoulder from the battle we lost on the home front but not on the battlefield years...

Patriots turn their backs on the seditionists, but they don't turn their backs on their country.On a bitter March day, thousands decided to stand against the ANSWER socialists, to both defend the Wall and take a stand. Standing alongside the Eagles is a humbling experience, where you learn exactly what Democracy is. The seditionists scream and chant slogans such as "This is what Democracy looks like!" Meanwhile, Democracy is on display with the Eagles finally taking a stand against those who cheer for the enemy. A battle of ideas, a battle of ideologies, finally manifests itself in the form...

As you’ll recall, the first Gathering of Eagles in March to counter the White Flag mob drew unprecedented masses to the nation’s capital in support of the troops and their mission. In 33 days, the Eagles and a number of similar organizations plan to answer the ANSWER crowd again.

We have fewer than forty days until GOE III, and our coordinators are working hard to overwhelm Washington, DC, with thousands of Eagles. We KNOW you are coming in unprecedented numbers, and we are bound and determined to make sure this event, which is crucial to the continuing support of our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, an unqualified success.What would an unqualified success be? Put simply, it would be once again overwhelming the moonbats with our numbers and our passion and causing them to reflect on just how much they want to “invite our attention” to them in the future!We...

The Muslim American Society will be in D.C. on 9/15 in full force.  These people aren’t playing around. It is imperative that we stand up to them and every other anti-American group that will be there on September 15th.  Our troops and our nation can settle for no less than victory in Iraq and Afghanistan…and we as Eagles can settle for nothing less than victory on the home front.

I am organizing a caravan from the Philly area to DC for the September 15th Gathering of Eagles. Figure it will be a 3 hour trip. There will be a brief pit stop at the halfway mark. Believe me, it will seem like much less than 3 hours, especially on the way home, high on having just FReeped moonbats all day. It's such a rush. It's a great way to show our solidarity with the military and to show the public that the moonbats don't represent American public opinion despite all the BS they're fed by the media. Round trip...

Supporters of Operation Iraqi Freedom will conduct a nationwide caravan along with more than 2-dozen rallies calling for continued support of U.S. troops based in Iraq in the days leading up to General David Petraeus September 15th report to Congress. From September 3, 2007 through September 15, 2007 the nation’s largest grassroots, pro-troop organization, Move America Forward will lead thousands of supporters in a cross-country effort called the “FIGHT FOR VICTORY TOUR.”
