Free Republic Will Be In DC Sunday
"We made a vow after Sept. 11 that we would not allow the anti-American left to do to us this time what they did during Vietnam, which was wear down the morale of the American," FreeRepublic spokesman Kristinn Taylor said.

Taylor said a larger rally Sunday on the National Mall would honor military families.

War Protesters Seek to Put Heat on Bush By JENNIFER C. KERR, Associated Press Writer
Thu Sep 22,11:29 PM ET



WASHINGTON - Anti-war groups are using a $1 million ad campaign and a demonstration they say will attract 100,000 people to try to re-energize their movement and pressure the Bush administration to bring troops home from Iraq.

Organizers of Saturday's protest, which will take marchers past the White House, say it will be the largest since the war began more than two years ago.

Cindy Sheehan, the woman who drew thousands of protesters to her 26-day vigil outside President Bush's Texas ranch last month, is among those planning to participate.

"We want to show Congress, the president and the administration that this peace movement is thriving," said Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, was killed last year in Iraq. "We mean business and we're not going to go away until our troops come home."

3. I assume, of course
that they are all going to show up and engage in a massive group sign-up for the military, being the patriots that they are.

4. All ten of them will show up and the TV news crews will give them...
coverage equal to about 500,000 real Americans who are marching to get rid of the putz in the White House. That's fair and balanced.

17. Only two? How can they protect the Honeybuckets from the evil
pinkos?

This time I hear they ordered the Liberty Oversize in order to prevent any more embarassing "tight situations..."

9. "a larger rally on Sunday" . . . larger than what?
Perhaps larger than the number that will fit in his mother's basement, but not by much.

10. I thought Freeps thought a woman's place was in the home, so
why do they have a female spokesperson?

14. I didn't realize that. So I wonder if having a traditionally female
name is as much fun as Johnny Cash made it sound in "Boy Named Sue"?

20. It does begin to explain the mentality displayed, doesn't it?
Or lack thereof, anyway.

12. So they admit that Iraq is just another Vietnam.
"to do to us this time what they did during Vietnam."

What they wanted to keep fighting a useless war in Vietnam? Even Nixon knew the war could not be won. That's why he pulled us out of that fiasco.

Did they really believe staying the course in Vietnam would have helped? Everyone knows Vietnam was a politician's war just like Iraq is. Don't they remember how everyone was saying the mistake in Vietnam was that we let Politicians decide the war strategy and not Generals. The same thing is happening in Iraq. It's time to get out.
