Can you spot the DC freeper in this photo?
Kinda tricky, because they all look a little silly, but I picked him out. Can you?

4. Now I'm officially scared. the one the furryfaced guy is carrying was the easiest
one for me to read in that pic. (I'm actually not kidding one bit...I read upside down as easily as regular writing)

Maybe a little slower but not much. :scared:

Mensa any time soon either. 'Hanoi Jane'? What war does he think this is?

Honestly, some of them spent the whole day looking for her.

Geez.

8. Were There 30,000 Freepers as reported?
http://gatheringofeagles.org/?p=191

What an outstanding day! The Eagles soared!

You should be very proud of your fellow veterans, families, and supporters. There’s so much to tell, and we encourage you to post your experiences in the the comments.

In the meantime, two items of business: 1) we have a gallery open for you to upload your digital photos to the website. That way you can share your photos with others. See the tab in the top right corner of the site. 2) the first unofficial NPS estimate of the Eagle turn-out today…

30,000!

That figure may be adjusted upward as more figure are tallied during the week. Fox News reported today that the anti-war protesters had significantly less than they expected. However, they are erroneously reporting that the Eagles were there in “equal numbers”. The truth is that we outnumbered them by at least three to one!

Consider…ANSWER had a year to plan their well-publicized event and were hoping for around 100,000. They actually drew about 5,000-10,000, according to various news reports today. The Gathering of Eagles, on the other hand, had about six weeks to plan an unprecedented response - and with no advertising, no publicity, no celebrity or political endorsement, no news coverage, and no big money, we had about 30,000 boots on the ground!

9. Honestly?
There were probably more than a thousand. But not more than two thousand. And check out who is behind the "Gathering of the Eagles": Kristinn Taylor. She of freeperville, friend to Michelle Malkin and Tony Snow... :puke:

13. My general impression was that we were outnumbered
but not by 3 to 1 or more. That was based on my wanderings, not any head counting or reading the papers. It was also real clear whos side the cops were on.

14. Not a chance.
There were a lot more of them than usually show up, but it was a last-ditch surge to try to claim victory, when they've already lost the hearts and minds of the American people. :evilgrin:

16. Most of my interaction with the cops
was on the bridge to the Pentagon, and not so pleasant. I took great delight in using them as props for photos, an attempt to neutralize their projection of fear and intimidation. Of course, the ones on the bridge were Pentagon cops and some from the State of Vermont. The DC ones seem much more professional, and less bristling with fury.

Sounds like you may have a few thoughts about the ones on the mall, what did you think?

17. They clearly were more concerned about us than the pro war crowd
and on the mall, I really do feel were were outnumbered

22. 1,000 or 2000 compared to 50,000 or 100,000 is 3 to 1 ????
It is a natural fault to inflate the numbers on one's own side, but don't you think you might have gone a bit far?

23. The repukes and Faux are claiming that
What I said was that my perception was that we were outnumbered by them, but not by anywhere near that amount.

21. From now on, whenever I go to a protest, I'm going to mark "this side up"
On the back of my sign, just in case.

24. That's no freeper.
That's some homeless bum working for booze money. There's a subtle difference.

30. "Next week, on a very special episode of 'Touched by a Moran'..."
In the spirit of fairness, an anti-war protestor
calls out, "Hey mister, you're sign's the wrong way!"...
with tragic results:
