Conservatives Plan Convoy to Counter Anti-War Protest
Edited on Wed Mar-07-07 01:25 PM by eagler
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=rally

"The "These Colors Don't Run" caravan begins Thursday in San Francisco and moves through the southern United States, stopping for more than two dozen "pro-troop" rallies along the way. The caravan ends in the nation's capital, where the activists will join the "Gathering of Eagles," a counter-protest to the anti-war demonstrations on March 17."

10. Hahahahahahahah! My thoughts exactly.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:



Before this miscreant's war started I remember seeing the Pro War supporters that would counter the marches of those against it.

In Boston there was about 50 thousand marchers against the war. Pro War supporters literally mesured less than 100.



I'd love to see their new Pro War tour.

Just let me know where they are stopping so I can watch them get egged by the angry crowds!


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

27. I believe they marched from Southern California to Crawford, Texas...
As I recall, their route took them through the southern Rockies while there was still snow.

Here is a rare photo:



The large inner track was made by their feet; the two outer grooves by their knuckles...

8. This "nationwide convoy" will garner less than a thousand supporters.
FReepers are a lot more active on the internets than
in real life. Their laziness and inherent cowardice
probably has a lot to do with that fact.

How many "counter protesters" showed up in DC recently
to oppose the 500,000 anti-war demonstrators?
A hundred? MAYBE?

9. 1-800-USA-ARMY - Enlist in the Army, that will show us
If "conservatives" are for war then the Army and Marine Corps should have no problem in their recruitment efforts. Unless I'm all wrong. Are the "conservatives" I refer to the ones who want to conduct counter protests and wave the flags the ones' with withered up dicks and just the bare shadow of testicles? The one's who no field commander would want serving on the battlefield? The one's who think the constitution only exists for them? Chickenshit, cowardly chickenhawks WHO HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING FOR OUR COUNTRY EVER? Is that the one's I'm referring?

21. You are right but you will have to quit using words like mammary
for the freepers to understand. Too big a word for their little minds. Use boobs or tits and they will roam the back roads of the US in search of a Hooters forever.

22. "Gathering of Eagles" site. The Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall, Washington D.C. 7 to 4 PM
on St. Pat's Day.

http://www.gatheringofeagles.org/

They're going to protect the memorials against "tens of thousands of anti-war extremists demanding immediate withdrawal of our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan."

Be sure to read their poem: "Not This Time"

39. "Protect the memorials?"
Two things:
1) Are any anti-war protestors planning on defacing, destroying, or otherwise desecrating the memorials? :shrug:
2) Has it ever occurred to these idiots that maybe the "anti-war extremists" don't want another war memorial to be necessary? :eyes: Morans.

28. WHOA!!! Check out this wackjob's post!
This guy is talking as if the previous peace marches have been violent. Asshole

************************************

To: Jim Robinson

THEY COME PREPARED TO DO BATTLE and they are well organized.

Seriously, it's not just bandanas over the faces, they have BMX or hockey pads and protection on under their clothes, they bring improvised weapons like D-Cell batteries in socks, flammable liquids in unmarked water bottles, etc.; stuff that can be quickly assembled or disassembled into innocent components carried by multiple persons.

If their target is the Memorial, they will likely create a diversion to get the police away from the Memorial. If they want the Gathering of Eagles folks away, they will create a physical confrontation with them in one area, hoping to draw the rest over and then they'll hit the unprotected area. If you're protecting an area, stay at that area. When your adrenalin gets going, you'll want to go help, DON'T DO IT. The Eagles need to have people free from protection assignments to respond to these diversions so the Memorial is not left unprotected.

They use cell phones, hand radios, police scanners to keep their people informed. They will have folks on bikes or skates so they can move quickly from one spot to another (unprotected) spot.

Oh and most important: As tempting as it will be, do not let the black block folks draw you into any violence. Philosophically, you don't need to lower yourself to their level. Practically of course you can defend yourself, but be forwarned that the black blockers will turn that around on you too.

They will have people whose only job is to get photos and video. Any pics or vids of you defending yourself will never see the light of day. Any pic or video that can be construed as you initiating violence or "over" defending yourself will be on the media and attached to a criminal complaint, a lawsuit, etc.

Because of this it is important for the Eagles folks to have assigned pic and video people too. The black blockers will injure themselves and blame it on you. They will start s--t with you and only film you responding. They have lots of free time to edit their videos and pics then distribute them to anyone who will look.

The DC cops, Capitol Police, and Parks Police already know all this from experience.

I'm on the other side of the country and can't be there. Please pass this info on to the Gathering of Eagles folks. The more prepared they are, the less chance of success from anarchists. It's important they don't succeed because if they do it just emboldens them to stoop even lower for their next "action."

No one has the Constitutional right to desecrate a monument.

Sorry freep, we donated all our BMX and hockey pads to the troops so they'd have some protection. Since you and your folks think all the soldiers are just whiners someone out here has to support the troops.

49. How are they even going to get a permit for this?
I remember reading on ANSWER's website when they first announced the March on The Pentagon that the rally was going to be at the Constitution Gardens even though they kept writing "Vietnam Veterans Memorial." Why? You can't have a demonstration at the wall. I also remember reading all of their sound system would have to face the opposite direction as so they will not disrupt people visiting the memorial. My dad who works in DC told you can't even run on the sidewalk by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. So I'm going to assume you can't surround it. None of the antiwar people are planning are desecrating it, but the Freepers are planning on surrounding it, which I highly doubt they will get away with it. Imagine you were visiting the Wall and the Freeperes were surrounding it? I mean what are they going to do not allow anyone to visit the Wall who disagrees with them? Are they going to ask everyone what's their political affiliation before they go to visit it? The freepers are the only ones being disrespectful as far as the wall goes.
