! Freepers' Porta-Potties vandalized again this year! Oh no!!
>>>Several others stopped by early on and vandalized the porta-potties we had rented for our event.<<<

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1008386/posts

It was at our second rallying point, along the parade route of A.N.S.W.E.R., that we came face to face with these people. Despite the eggs, despite the horrible signs painting our president as everything from a new Adolf Hitler to an evil capitalist criminal, I couldn't help but feel sorry for some of the participants. They fail to realize that they are on the wrong side of history. Surely they were unaware that they were marching with a vile, anti-American communist group? We, too, want the troops to come home. We don't want war, but we cannot allow terrorism to survive. To show weakness, to pull our troops from Iraq at this time, would only spell disaster for America.

I think several of these people were uncomfortable with the viciousness of the protesters as they came around the corner and saw our patriotic signs and show of support for our country. Like rabid dogs, they screamed, spit, ranted, and raved. These are the ones driven by anger and hatred. These are the same people that spit on our returning soldiers from Vietnam, who called them "baby killers". They are the social misfits, the dirty and the disheveled that relish social upheaval. They are the strong supporters of groups like A.N.S.W.E.R. and it was good that we have exposed them for what they represent. They didn't disappear after the anti-war protests of the past spring, only to reappear now. No, they had merely channeled their energy into working for the Howard Dean campaign.

No bias in the media? The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic, the organizers of the event, notified C-Span well in advance of the day's events, only to be told that they would only cover the A.N.S.W.E.R. rally. It must have been deemed that several hundred Americans, proclaiming support for their country, was not newsworthy. Furthermore, despite the abundance of reporters and camera crews that interviewed us during and after our engagement with A.N.S.W.E.R. along their march route, there was little if any reporting of our presence and viewpoint. Even my local news outlets, notified of my intentions weeks ago, seemed to have no interest yet carried the network headlines about "huge anti-war protests". So much for presenting both sides of the issue.

Hats off to the D.C. Police Department for handling this event in a most professional manner. There was zero police presence at our initial rally point as there was no need for one. We did have to flag down an officer to remove one "peace" protester who tried to disrupt our singing of "God Bless America" as we concluded our rally. Several others stopped by early on and vandalized the porta-potties we had rented for our event.

4. I've never seen anti-bu$h/war protesters
Do ANYTHING out of the way. Freekers make things up to make our side look bad......that's all it amounts to. If any screaming,spitting,shoving or acts of violence happens it comes from freeper freaks.....they are the masters of hate and intolerance.Notice how they are the ones who try to disrupt anything the left tries to do...be it protesting Bu$h and his never ending wars,or book signings by liberal authors and even DEMOCRATIC DEBATES??? Duh.....those people are so arrogant and stupid.....and who would take the time to vandalize their damn TOILETS? Who would want to get within a MILE of their feces? Good God... :puke:

There were six porta-potties and three freepers.

You do number-one in the left one and number-two in the right one.

15. It's okay to protest,
and I opposed the war too, but I disagree with the egg throwing, and porta potty vandalizing if it did, in fact, occur. Protesters for peace should not be engaging in vandalism, it's contrary to progressive principles of non-violence.

17. Give Me A Break
Since when do Dem's need to hide letters off a keyboard or need to visit the local store to make the Freepers look bad?

Every excuse is a "good" one and they need to blame everything but their attitude for getting "ovaed."

19. yes, I was screaming, and other old women were too, because
these freepers waited until their 'second rallying point' and actually attacked the 'slow' people at the end of the March...the older people, the people in wheelchairs, the older Veterans. the baby carts...they hit people with their signs and screamed obscenities and foul language...

many people screamed during their brief attack, women grabbed their babies and ran onto the sidewalk...and then some BIG GUYS from our younger Veterans came over, so these freepers backed away, these reTHUGlicans only prey on the less-able-to-defend-themselves....because of all the women screaming, the police came over real quick and took these violent freepers away, their permit did not allow them to be in that area, and they looked for an area with no police barracades, to launch their 'little' nastiness...

...'little men' preying on women, and those with disabilities...makes them feel good to hit old women...big bullies is all they are...

29. Thank you, amen1234, for fighting back and defending free speech.
Edited on Mon Oct-27-03 09:02 AM by VolcanoJen
You and the protestors did nothing wrong; you have every right to defend yourselves against attacks on our rights to assemble peacefully. Thank you very, very much for being there.

It's unfortunate that the Freeper-types can't organize their own pro-war marches on seperate days. They're terribly uncreative people, and receive joy out of attempting to steal the thunder of others.

Thank you again for being an American Patriot!!!

20. Hey grasswire thanks for trudging thru the mental sludge that is

freerepublic to come up with this gem I haven't laughed so hard in a while. This is a keeper

"It was at our second rallying point, along the parade route of A.N.S.W.E.R., that we came face to face with these people. Despite the eggs, despite the horrible signs painting our president as everything from a new Adolf Hitler to an evil capitalist criminal, I couldn't help but feel sorry for some of the participants.

We don't want war, but we cannot allow terrorism to survive. To show weakness, to pull our troops from Iraq at this time, would only spell disaster for America."

LMAO

This is so simplistic I would expect a better analysis of current events from a 6 year old.

They are truly deranged OMG what a laugh.

Thanks again

31. I wouldn't advocate throwing anything
stones or eggs. I don't think you will find anybody here who will support your position either.

We are advocating peace and non-violent resolution of issues and we're going to throw stones at people?!?!? That makes absolutely NO sense. :crazy:

You cannot stop aggression with more aggression.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hatred ever kills, love never dies. Such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.

So you're advocating demonstrating our deep commitment to freedom of speech by stoning people who say things you don't like.

I'd tell you what I think of you and your suggestion, but it would probably get me banned.

30. Goddamn Freepers and their porta-potties
Every single time they organize one of their woefully under-attended freeps, they go to great trouble procuring toilets and assigning guard shifts to protect them. And EVERY SINGLE TIME there's a porta-pooper incident that causes a boilover of pissed-off freepers on the website. To a non-loon visiting the site it can look like the sole purpose of a freep is to safely escort toilets in and out of DC. Buncha maroons don't have any idea how idiotic the wailings about their bowel maintenance can seem.

34. I think a freeper vandalizes their toilets
If the left wanted to really screw up a freep, all they'd have to do is to form a line about a quarter-mile long in front of all the freeper port-o-sans. Not let the freepers shit in their own cans. And as freepers explode from lack of toilet facilities (they're so full of shit, they explode if kept away from sanitary facilities for more than 36 minutes at a stretch), they'll get all of the media attention they so richly crave. It will be from the Weekly World News, but still...

We wouldn't vandalize the freepers' toilets. We have too much respect for private property to do that...and we all know the freepers don't own these toilets. But a freeper, now, they could vandalize the toilets, blame it on the DU crowd and be believed.

32. "You can take a turd out of the shitter but......................
you can't take the shitter out of the turd!" ANTI-BU-SHITE RULE # 1.

For It Is Written, So It Must Be So!

Saddam was building a bunch of Sani-Flush warheads and buying Rid-X yellow cakes from Bin Lauden! The freepers knew that Saddam was growing those mushroom clouds and using Doo-Doo as fertilizer for the secret mushroom cloud labs mounted on those hidden mushroom trucks! It was only a matter of time before the Freepers themselves were sucked out of the cesspool at FR and fed to the mushroom clouds! That's why Saddam posed an imminent threat to all Repubs worldwide! The FReepers also had intel. that indicated that Saddam had fed about all the Republican Guards to the Mushrooms, and the Freepers feared they could be next!

37. Couldn't sing over ONE protester?
My favorite part of the article is when "several hundred" freepers tried to sing God Bless America, and there was ONE protester heckling them, so they had to get a cop to come shut him up. Either that one guy had a voice like a foghorn or their were actually 3 freepers singing.
