Nice Turnout, Freepers!!1111 ---PIX --->>>

[Stephanie]

Awesome! Way to support the WAR! So many of you turned out I couldn't get you all on one shot!1111

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

1. Are you sure they are FweePeeZ?

I don't see more portapotties than participants. That can't be them.

[The Count]

2. "YOU NEVER MARCHED AGAINST TERRORISTS" - I marched against *!

[cui bono]

51. Sorry, but what a fucking idiot.

[calimary]

54. Oh yes I did. All through the run-up to their war - from 2002 to the night

before the invasion, when all those candlelight vigils were held around the nation. I proudly marched in protest against the domestic terrorists who have hijacked our country and still occupy our White House.

[Lost-in-FL]

3. "Al qaeda appeasers on parade"

Is he referring to himself and group?? What a moran!11!!!

[skypilot]

111. That's the very first thing I noticed.

I wouldn't be caught dead with that sign in my hand. Fucking stupid.

[Lost-in-FL]

133. The new "Get a brain morans"

:rofl:

[A Simple Game]

4. I see how it works now. In the second picture, the two guys in the

center, they're sucking down beers. That's how they get so many people, they have free beer at their rallies!

[qnr]

19. That's probably the case, however, it looks like the one on the left is holding the

mic for the bullhorn, and the one on the right kind of looks like a Coke bottle.

[mtnester]

61. Looks like quite a few of them are of the age the military is looking so desperately for

wonder why they have not signed up?

Rhetorical.

[tabasco]

99. Freeper's worst nightmare!

ARMY RECRUITERS!!!! HEAD FOR THE PORTAPOTTIES!!

[tinfoilinfor2005]

87. Therefore the need for

all the port-a-potties. :)

[UnyieldingHierophant]

127. That's the soldier that lost his leg in Iraq and his girlfriend...

they aren't drinking beer, saw their pic on another website

[Change has come]

5. Looks like the freaks have been rounded up...

and placed in a pen of some sort. Awaiting the military recruiter no doubt. :patriot:

[Canuckistanian]

64. It's a Free Spin Zone

Just like Bushco will soon be in a "Fifth Amendment Zone"

[ShortnFiery]

WTOP - the beltway warmonger's FAV news-traffic-talk radio here in D.C.

Announced at one point this afternoon that there were 30 pro-Iraqi war protesters. :rofl:

Hot damn! Not even Toby Keith wants to be identified with you now.

How does that feel? :shrug:

[Stephanie]

8. They did NOT have 30.

They had 15 at the most. They are ALL pictured above, except you can't see the heavy-set guy with full beard who looked sort of familiar.

[ShortnFiery]

26. Well, consider the source? They play War Profiteering Commercials.

They must have counted all the signs and beer cans too in order to come up with 30.

You've got no argument from me. :hi:

[Stephanie]

27. They MIGHT have had 20.

But it was hard to count them behind all that protection! :hi:

44. I used to like you

Now I might just have to block your posts! :) :hi:

[calimary]

55. OMG!!! Who is that poor soul?

Oh Lordy...

[troubleinwinter]

86. He is a hard-working, loyal freeper. See a better pic of the office in post #85.

[malaise]

59. Damn coffee all over the key board

You owe me :rofl: :rofl:

[EvolveOrConvolve]

80. Oh Lord! I just threw up a little in my mouth...

[Warren DeMontague]

42. Pretty sad fuckin' state of affairs for 'em if 30 is the *inflated* number.

:think:

[leftchick]

79. CNN said "several dozen"

:eyes:

[ebayfool]

107. They are sorely pissed @ it, too! Kristinn started chewing on 'em ...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1775257/posts
I'm angry. I'm angry at the 'antiwar' protesters who heaped abuse on our troops. And I'm angry at the people who couldn't be bothered to stand up for our troops yesterday.

Tens of thousands of anti-American leftists and their dupes marched on our nation's capital calling for America's defeat in the war on terror in Iraq.

Only about forty people could be bothered to turn out in support of America's victory in Iraq. Among those forty was a civilian POW held by the North Vietnamese communists and several Iraq war veterans--including wounded warriors who left the hospital to stand up for their brothers in arms on the home front.

-------------------------

When one of the 'armchair' freeps argued the numbers, one of the organizers jumped back at him! (If they're claiming 40 in public ... I figure half that is being generous.)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1775257/posts?page=59#59
To: BluH2o
Tens of thousands? Obviously you're buying into the Washington Post, NY Times numbers ... actual count from more reliable sources put the number closer ... 6 to 8 thousand.
Hello?!

We were there. We watched them march by us - for two hours. I drove around their rally perimeter and saw the crowds with my own eyes. They had tens of thousands.

Whoever your "reliable sources" were are blowing smoke out of their butts with that 6-8k number.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1775257/posts?page=104#104
The commies had movie "stars" and politicians ... we had a couple dozen FReepers and soldiers. Pathetic!!!


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Bobbie Jo]

6. Behind that fence

It looks like they've been preserved like some sort of endangered animal exhibit at the zoo. :rofl:

[liberaltrucker]

7. Pathetic

Don't these cretins know that national flags should be displayed
at the same height? The Israelis must be pissed.

[tanyev]

13. Aren't these some of the ones who were so offended by people waving Mexican flags?

:shrug:

[qnr]

20. Is that really an Israeli flag? Looks more like an aircraft than a Star of David - but

it might just be the way that it is creased.

[Warren DeMontague]

45. It's probably not a real Israeli flag. Maybe it's got Jesus on it, because the Left Behind nutbags

are only interested in Israel and the Jews until Jeeebus comes back. Then, it's off to the fiery furnace for the Jews, along with all the other heathens, unbelievers, birth control users, fornicators, Mac users, and the like.

[qnr]

48. I wouldn't doubt it n/t

[AwakeAtLast]

9. Off to the Greatest you go!

Instead of "tens of thousands" its more like "tens" :rofl:

[verse18]

119. self-delete

[illinoisprogressive]

10. However did the marchers get through that huge awesome mob???

[Stephanie]

12. the mob was protected by two bored DC cops

and a chain link fence. they were very brave freepers. if only they would devote that courage to battle in the streets of Baghdad!!11 on second thought..... nah.

[Contrary1]

11. Wow...they sure showed us, didn't they?

But, I'm willing to give credit where credit is due. I count 13 of them in one
of the pics.
I do believe that's a new record.

[133724]

14. So we had more cops in Seattle than Freepers in DC???

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x60167

[madfloridian]

15. Did they have enough porta potties?

:rofl:

They love to have enough of them, and then not share them.

[Contrary1]

18. They later had a rousing game...

of musical potties.

[madfloridian]

33. Someone here had an 04 picture of their porta potties.

And all 12 of their group. Or was it 15?

:rofl:

[dogday]

65. We determined the ratio of freeper/port-o-potties to be 6:1

I count two port-o-potties for a total of 12 freepers... They are nothing if not sticklers for the rules..... :rofl:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. Where are the porta-potties?

Aren't there supposed to be at least two for each freeper?

[SoCalDem]

83. here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x50477

[Cabcere]

17. Sic semper tyrannis?

Are you sure the guy holding that sign's not one of us? :shrug: Because Bush and his cronies seem to be edging closer to tyranny every day...yeah, think about that, Freepers. Seriously. Think about it, and get back to me. :eyes:

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

104. The phrase has more significance than just its meaning.

It's what John Wilkes Booth yelled out just after he killed Abraham Lincoln.

This is a freeper's idea of a subtle threat, because in order to understand it, you have to have at least skimmed a third grade history book.

[Liberal Gramma]

21. Somebody should photoshop the signs

They should say MY IQ IS SMALLER THAN MY SHOE SIZE

[Cabcere]

22. I definitely didn't think

you were going to say "shoe size" there at first... :blush:

[Skip Intro]

23. Reminds me of the last time (photo)

[ThatsMyBarack]

91. They invited a lot of empty chairs, didn't they?

:rofl:

[Neecy]

24. wow

There are almost as many traffic cones as freepers.

What a sad, pathetic, ragged looking bunch.

[LibraLiz1973]

25. That is a HUGH!!!1111!!! turn out!!

I would have flipped in a crowd of that size

[Lex]

28. When our group marched by, we yelled "Bring The Troops HOME!"

at the freepers saying we weren't 'supporting the troops."

One of their signs said, "Money for Bombs, Not Welfare." :wtf:

Idiots.

[Cabcere]

29. I almost feel bad for them.

Almost.

Part of me wants to admire them ( :puke: ) for getting out there, using their right to free speech and assembly, and protesting for what they believe is right...but then the logical part of me kicks in and reminds me that a) these are generally the type of people who want to take away all of our rights and torture us when we disagree with them, and b) by supporting the war, they're basically advocating murder. :mad: So, yeah, they have their right to free speech, I'm not arguing that...but in this case, they're dead wrong and I'm glad there aren't very many of them. :grr:

[mmonk]

30. Wow, it took two pictures. More of them than I thought.

[soup]

90. Surprised me, too.

It must have taken two cars to transport all of them.

[Downtown Hound]

31. Hey freeps, I have just one thing to say to that....

:silly:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:spray:

[blonndee]

32. HA! The keyboard warriors sign up for protests

about as frequently as they sign up to actually fight in the wars they support.

[grytpype]

34. It's not like it used to be, is it?

[UrbScotty]

35. Isn't it desecration to wave the flag in the name of hate?

Legally it's not, but I find it odd that some of those who want to ban flag desecration like to fly it in the name of bashing fellow Americans.

[and-justice-for-all]

36. And those are the clueless dumb-asses of this great country. nt

[Scurrilous]

37. Kristinn Kan't Kount...

<snip>

"Fifty to 100 members of the Washington chapter of the conservative organization FreeRepublic.com plan to rally near the U.S. Navy Memorial to oppose the march and the participation of Jane Fonda, the chapter said. The actress has long been the object of conservative ire for her support of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

"These groups are the ones that are acting as the political arm of the terrorists overseas to help bring about America's defeat in the war on terror," said Kristinn Taylor of FreeRepublic.com."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/26/AR2007012601602.html


Fifty to 100 members? Where? :shrug:

[SeattleVet]

50. Silly, that's just the number that *planned* to rally. The number that were

actually able to find their way out of Mom's basement and get over there were, understandably, much lower.

These guys find it real easy to 'plan' to be somewhere. Actually getting off their asses and getting there, where they'd be in a miniscule minority, is a distinctly different thing. They always seem to be 'planning' something, though it's a rare thing when anything actually comes of it.

[WillyT]

38. LOL, The Fraternity Boys Of Alpha Chicken Hawka !!!

Funny, they look about service age.

:shrug:

[Pandrmn]

40. Clever!

[Warren DeMontague]

39. I count ten, maybe twelve.

But a couple of them might be trees, or bystanders eating a sandwich. Hard to say.

[muntrv]

43. What's this? You mean they couldn't lure more freepers with pork rinds

and RC Cola?

[Warren DeMontague]

46. They had Toby Keith and Ted Nugent cranked up at full volume on the boom-box.

Strange, that more people didn't stick around.

[Ghost in the Machine]

57. they should have tried this - - - - >>

[otherlander]

121. Are those...

puppies? :wtf:

[Ghost in the Machine]

126. no, not puppies...

monkey brains!

I stole this pic from freak republic from some freeper who posted it. It was a dinner they attended after some little demonstration they had a while ago. I just photoshopped the monkey brain pictures over their food. Wonder why they didn't like the picture and they banned me?? :shrug:

[otherlander]

135. ...

:rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

47. What a bunch of LOSERS!

[yurbud]

49. No misspelled words?! No one visibly beating their kids? Those aren't freepers, they're actors!

[Alamom]

52. I was about to ask where the women were and now I think I do see 1

or 2.....

That would have been embarrassing. :*

[Vidar]

53. Pitiful, just pitiful.

[Pachamama]

56. I counted no more than 16 Freepers at the "rally"...

When I was at the rally at the Navy War Memorial, the Freepers were standing across the street protesting against Jane Fonda's presence their and there were only 16 of them...Later, when we marched near the Capital and where I think your photos were taken, there were about 14 there and they were holding ridiculous signs including one that said "CodePink funds Terrorists"....

I actually felt bad for them...they were so irrelevant and so....alone.

[Stephanie]

63. One of their signs mentioned "hippies" - they are so original

yes, this was near the Capital, just past the Grannies. The Grannies should have kicked their asses.

[Pachamama]

66. Oh, you mean the "Hippies smell" sign?

:eyes: I laughed when I saw that one....so sad, these poor unhappy individuals....

[ThatsMyBarack]

93. If hippies smell,....

....just hold their noses! :rofl:

[Stephanie]

106. It was so cool to see many young people, one of whom held a sign that said >

"I am NOT a fucking HIPPIE"

lol! It was REALLY encouraging to see so many students at this rally. It was just great.

[proud patriot]

116. LOL

That's a great sign.. I don't like being called a hippy .
My parents are hippies I'm a love child ..

You'd think they could get it right. :eyes:

[GreenZoneLT]

58. Worst. Counterdemonstration. Ever.

Seriously, folks, when you have more signs than people, you might as well stay home.

Check out the three frat boys in the gray sweatshirts wearing shades, with the bullhorn. Congressional interns, or just Georgetown College Republicans?

[Bluebear]

60. Wow, all 5 of their pattie's waded up.

:eyes:

[conscious evolution]

62. Please tell me someone from DU

took some asparagus to the protest!!!Talk about a target rich enviroment.

[progressoid]

67. Sheesh, pathetic.

[BurtWorm]

68. Hello hello ello ello llo llo lo lo...

Is there an echo in here?

:patriot:

[rpgamerd00d]

69. 100,000 vs 10. Hmmm, 10,000 to 1 odds. Sounds about right.

Hope the freepers get used to those odds.
:rofl:

[spanone]

70. About the same percentage of people across the nation who support the fool.

[peekaloo]

71. The missing chain-link brigade.

[treestar]

72. They came out of the basement! This is hugh!!!!!1111

:rofl:

[11 Bravo]

73. Careful, Stephanie!

I hope you didn't get too close to that fence! Freepers, much like chimps in the zoo, not only occasionally eat their own shit, but they like to fling it around, as well.

[Stephanie]

75. I survived, thanks.

They were yelling at the crowd so I called out "Nice turnout!" and our crowd picked it up - it was too funny. :hi:

[Blue Belle]

74. A lot of those pro-war protesters look like they fit the enlistment age-group...

Did anyone think to bring them a form? I mean they support this war so much...

[Stephanie]

76. They were hiding behind so much fencing you couldn't get close to them

They're just as cowardly as their president.

[Blue Belle]

77. They talk the talk...

but walking the walk is for other people... :eyes:
So pathetic.

[Stephanie]

78. If you look at photo one you can see a bit of the first layer of fencing

They must have been so skeered!

[Blue Belle]

89. Oh! that's hysterical!

God forbid they intermingle in the crowd and learn something... that would mean opening their minds to the possibility that they are wrong.

Oh, I wish i could have been there with you guys. Thanks for sharing your photos!

[Vinca]

81. As Rummy might say, gee willikers - they're old enough to enlist. nt

[SoCalDem]

82. They enjoyed their roadtrip: (pics)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x50477

[samsingh]

84. it's good to know that there's only a small number of them

they bring down the collective IQ of the human race.

animal kingdom too.

[troubleinwinter]

85. OK, freepers, youv'e done your duty. Now it's time...

to get back to the office.

[ThatsMyBarack]

94. Ewww! Please tell me that's photoshopped!

It looks like a haven for roaches! :puke:

[MzNov]

88. Soon their sign will say "I Support President Bush"

:rofl: :rofl:

they'll be one remaining Freeper .... somewhere in the crowd, with his little sign

:-)

[Mick Knox]

92. Why would more show up?

They have their nice facist laws, nice facist wars, nice facist government.

Other than the 26 idiot who protest someone else being fed up with the facism, most are just as happy as can be.

[lonestarnot]

95. Fuckin' Ha Ha freaks.

:rofl:

[Joe Chi Minh]

96. Don't they all look neat and orderly? So soldierly. Why aren't they in Iraq?

[babylonsister]

97. Absolutely priceless; their ranks have thinned. I love the

"we support *" sign. These pics tell the tale of the mood of the country.

:hi: Very nice meeting you, Stephanie!

[Stephanie]

103. Nice to meet you too!

Wish we could have hung out. We ran to catch our bus as soon as the march was over. :hi:

[paparush]

98. HIPPIES SMELL ..

My wife and 11 year old son and I broke out laughing at that one as we marched by. THAT? is the extent of their argument.

[LeftyMom]

100. Is the fencing to keep the potties safe?

Or are they really that afraid of real americans?

[Just-plain-Kathy]

101. The sign “$$$ for welfare” sums up why most freepers are freepers.

They’re’ so afraid that their hard earned money will go to help people other then themselves.
They have a charity begins at home mentality.

They’d rather buy bullets then food stamps. :(

[Faygo Kid]

102. I was surprised at my own rage as I walked by these tools.

I looked at them and didn't see them - I saw Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly and all the haters who have spewed their venom at us for so many years, and I just wanted to clock one of the clowns. I can't even remember what I yelled at them, but I really didn't want that fence to be there. Obviously, they are just ignoramuses and tools who are also getting the shaft on their pensions and health care, but I didn't care - I wanted to hate them back, and I felt empowered that we were together to confront them. They can dismiss us all they want, but they stood there as the friends and families walked by endlessly, and I hope they were unsettled by it. I doubt it, though. They were at best trained monkeys. Manchurian Candidates.

[farmbo]

105. WTF??...An Israeli flag? Why do these people hate America?

Remember how the right wing blowhards absolutely blew a gasket when some protesters during the March 2006 migrant rallies carried Mexican flags?

And this is different how?

:shrug:

[zbdent]

108. Hey, weren't they blocking a walkway?

If they were (well, if they were there AGAINST the war), they could have been arrested ...

[Call Me Wesley]

109. Aww, c'mon, this can't be complete without him:

[helderheid]

110. As many freepers as brain cells shared among them n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

112. Awww, cute,

buys go enlist, I wish I had been there, with oh forty DD 4

[EstimatedProphet]

113. Look! The circus is in town!

[BuyingThyme]

114. How many toilets did they rent for this one?

[yellowcanine]

115. And did they protect their toilets from liberals and random joggers?

That's what I would like to know.

[Sapere aude]

117. That guy holding the $ for bombs not welfare looks like a skinhead.

There are recruiting stations all around were he can get real cozy with bombs and stuff and keep himself off welfare.

Why oh why don't they put their butts on the line? They can not only support the troops they can actually be a troop.


Please freeper trolls, why don't more of you sing up for the surge? If you support bush so damned much why not go all the way and be cannon fodder for him? Now that would be real support!

[EFerrari]

118. LOL!

I swear on my dog's head -- I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE, A SPOOF!

:rofl::rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

BECAUSE NOBODY CAN BE STUPID ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A PRESIDENT WHO IS KILLING OUR COUNTRY AND MAKING ENEMIES ALL OVER THE WORLD.

[Stephanie]

120. Where were you?

I kept calling you! I really hoped to meet you, finally.

xx
S

[EFerrari]

130. Damn! Where was I? At the Harrington, and trying to keep up

with mom. She's ruthless. My son and I got back after the march looking forward to dying on our beds and there she was, "I'm going to Starbucks -- whaddya want?"

My reception there was bad to nil.

It was a great thing, though, wasn't it? :) Let me know when you come out or I will next time. I hope there won't be a next time but we're not done yet.

Did you hear, Steph, how Tim didn't even finish before he was interrupted with "Impeach Bush!"

I watched the replay on DemocracyNow! today. He smiled so big.

:hug:

[Stephanie]

137. We were close to the stage. I could actually hear him.

Really sorry not to have met you. Next time! I'll be in SF soon anyway - new baby expected in the family this spring!

[EFerrari]

138. So jealous. A baby.

I should be human by then. :)

Come out, come out, where ever you are. :hug:

[roamer65]

122. Wow. * is very close to just Laura and Barney left for support.

:rofl:

[Tiggeroshii]

123. I counted sixteen

and that's including the guys in yellow

[SharonRB]

124. Good shots, Stephanie

It was nice meeting you -- sorry you had to take off after the march.

[Stephanie]

125. Nice to meet you too!

Wish we could have stayed. Did you guys have a good trip back?

[SharonRB]

131. Yup -- it was uneventful

I traveled with livvy. My daughter also had come to DC with us, but didn't go to the march. She visited with some friends.

[ikojo]

128. We chanted "send the twins, send the twins.."

as we passed the pugs...I also encouraged them to go to the local recruiter's office and sign up.

[Catchawave]

129. Did you guys remember the

enlistment forms :evilgrin:

I'm bringing a messenger bag full of them next time I march :patriot:

(so sorry I missed this one)

[SharonRB]

132. I'm sorry, too

Are you going to YK for sure? I almost signed up today, but I'm afraid to commit so early. I also want to make sure I have someone to room with -- $149 a night for three nights is pretty hefty for me right now.

[Raffi Ella]

134. ha

:wtf: :rofl:

[Kerrytravelers]

136. Where were the recruiters? Perfect opportunity to sign 'em up!

[Pryderi]

139. Was this in DC?

[Stephanie]

140. Um, yeah

In DC last Saturday. Where were you?
