Some details...

Kriss appeared in first interchange on camera, nice suit, beard neatly trimmed, voice clear and firm.
Again, the basic message, "We're tired of elitists telling the american public what to think. We can judge for ourselves."

After a somewhat longer interchange with Medved, Scarborough returned to Kriss for a voice over interchange.
( they were showing clips of Sheen, Penn, Garofolo, etc.)
Basically, the big name got most of the air time, but Kriss got two good "sound bytes", and Free Republic mentioned on air..

God Bless 'em..

I just watched Kristinn on MSNBC with Joe Scarborough, and he was outstanding! I loved his dig to Susan Sarandon about how she preaches free speech, while at the same time was working to keep Dr. Laura off the air.

I also enjoy watching Joe Scarborough as compared to Gretta on Fox. Joe is the former 1994 elected Congressman who as a guest on Rush's show a few years ago cited the Republican cave on the 1995 government shutdown as the end of the Republican conservative revolution, and the moment that history will record as the turning point that gave Clinton the edge that led to his 1996 reelection.

HALL OF FREEPER FAME

[jwalsh07]

You were excellent. Did FR proud.

[Drammach]

Hope we were able to at least give You a "feel" for what was happening.
Did the best I could, I am sure the others did as well.

Nice work, Kristinn! Nice beard, too.

Thanks, Angelwood, it was a super freep, as usual.

Wish I lived near DC to join you guys.

[au eagle]

LOL!!! I've always called her Saranwrap, too!

[sneakers]

Good job Kristinn! Another great plug for FreeRepublic too!

[Fred Mertz]

Great job, Pilgrim!

:) Thanks for bumping this, Libertina! It's such a FUN story. And, psst, I bet dollars to donuts Lloyd Grove will have more to say about this in tomorrow's Washington Post. He's not biting his tongue on this subject.

What a whiney baby Tim Robbins is: he loves to criticize everything, and then gets hysterical when he gets criticized back.

Kristinn was great!!

Hey, I hear they're going to have a big homecoming soon in Washington state, that true?

[Lady Eileen]

Well done Kristinn!

[FreeTheHostages]

Here's the details. Scarborough had already had Lloyd Grove on so the audience knew that Tim Robbins had threaten to beat up that Washington Post society columnist, Mr. Grove.

So Kristinn talked about the how the group decidied, since Mr. Robbins, a PEACE activist, was speaking at the National Press Club, and had threatened journalists, that their group decided to be human shields to protect journalists from the PEACE activist.

He talked about how Mr. Robbins decided to go in the back door. He said that people were tired of being talked down to by the Hollywood elite. In response to another question, he mentioned the hypocrisy of Susan Sarandon contending that criticism of her point of view was blacklisting when she had been a leader of the movement to remove Dr. Laura Schlesinger from the Dr. Laura radio show.

He said other stuff. Oh yeah, he was asked whether the group was going to Freep other celebrities in the future. And in response he loyally mentioned that the LA Freepers were well-received by the public for their Freep at the Oscars.

[Angelwood]

Thanks for the screen captures of Kristinn. He looked good with Free Republic listed in the caption under his name. I liked Joe letting everyone watching know that we are known as FReepers!

As usual, Warlord, you "done us proud"! Please ask tgslTakoma to post the photo of you, Lloyd Groves and your sign asap. Kudos and thanks.

[FreeTheHostages]

Yes, I agree, when he said our nickname was freepers, it was as if we should be coming commonplace to people and that everyone should know that about us. It made us seem, well, relevant and big.

People who can do. People who can't snipe at the DC Chapter! :)

[abner]

Your welcome. I just made a CD of the whole interview. I'll send it off to Kristinn when he gets me his address.
