Reply #3: I was there. We outnumbered them. [View All]

They were completly out of control. When leaving, some lady took her flag and hit me in the face. I looked at her and said "typical violent republican. Using the flag to hit someone. Nice."

She says "I thought you were about peace and love."

I replied "You hit me, idiot." And I walked on my merry way.



When we first got there, while waiting at the corner where it was quiet, this one guy (I'm a tiny thing... 5'3" 115 maybe 120 pounds tops and this guy was huge and Hispanic - that's important later) he just gets in my face, screaming at me, calling me an idiot. LIttle did he know, but honey, I have taught in some of the worse neighborhoods, so some overweight 101st keyboard brigade member doesn't scare me. I asked him while bush hasn't attended any funerals yet. He was still cursing and screaming. I let himn know that the military was desperate, so much so that they'd even take him, so perhaps he should enlist. He got even madder then. I stood strong, but inside I thought he was going to hit me. A young Hispanic guy stood up and said the man needed to take a step away from me. The young HIspanic guy was holding a peace flag and a protest sign. The 101st keyboard brigade member told him to get his wetback ass back to Mexico. So, one Hispanic guy tells another to get back to Mexico. How dumb. The young guy said he'd never been to Mexico. We looked at the 101st member and said racist. Then he called us fags. So now, on top of being a chickenhawk and a racist, you're also a homophobic biggot? You're an excellent bush supporter.

The light changed and we walked away to him still cursing.

The young shrub-lovers that came by were asked why they didn't enlist. Their response? Usually the middle finger. They should be careful with that finger. They may need it to type. That's the important skill of the 101st keyboard brigade.

There was a 12 year old in full camoflague. They had a poster "Future soldier for bush." How long do these people plan to keep the little terrorist in office?

THe cops were so out of control. They had batons at us, wearing their face shields. The fascists were allowed to walk through us, doing whatever they wished. They arrested on of ours while she was crossing the street (apparents, she didn't make it acorss before the light changed.) It was crazy. They had guys driving trucks that had HUGE * signs constantly circling. I swear they had the same cars/trucks pass them time and again. It got to be funny after a while.

And yet, we were still louder and more truthful then they were.

The kicker. The real kicker was the two white guys driving a huge truck. Out of the passenger's window was an enormous American flag. The driver was driving and waving an equally large confederate flag. Then they parked and stood right out in front of the * crowd, with all the little shrubbie supporters cheering, their confederate flag. It was sickening.

I am so ashamed of the behavior of the rethugs... they are truly destroying this country.
